Problems solved by technology

Shoe adornments constructed in such a manner have numerous disadvantages, particularly: metallic or non-metallic clips used to affix the said adornments onto the shoe not only fail to protect the user's feet but cause significant discomfort.

Moreover, such clips are not secure, these may damage shoes and have limited life if used repeatedly.

Said ornaments often chafe the user's feet, especially when attached to the heel area or along the frontline.

However, these options are often not satisfactory or not preferable, because 1) local covers (bandages) are unattractive and cover only a small portion of the troubled area, 2) women do not want to wear socks, hosiery or stockings in hot weather or with pants, 3) light socks, hosiery or stockings do not provide sufficient protection and are easily damaged, etc.

Particularly, attachment members spaced along the edge of the band cause unevenness, when bent and pressed along the edge of the shoe; the construction is complex and costly; attachment mechanism is laborious; and, if used repeatedly, the attachment members may break.

Said detachable adornment also has several disadvantages as the construction of attachment members is complex and costly in terms of materials consumed.

Additionally, multiple fasteners make the edges of the shoe uneven and may cause discomfort to the user.
