Shoe

A rapid-entry shoe having an elastic element to enlarge a foot opening of the rapid-entry shoe and also having a stabilizer to prevent a rear portion of the rapid-entry shoe from collapsing downward.

Rapid-entry footwear having a stabilizer and an elastic element

Example embodiments of the present disclosure comprise adjustable footwear having sole structure with interdependent parts. The sole structure may comprise multiple parts and/or portions that are configured such that relative movement between the multiple parts/portions and/or relative material properties of the multiple parts/portions facilitate and accommodate size adjustability of the sole structure (e.g., adjustability in length and/or width). In various embodiments, the interdependent portions of the sole structure may allow for adjustment in one or multiple directions in response to an action (e.g., a single action) taken by a user.

Adjustable footwear having sole structure with interdependent parts

A rapid-entry shoe having a heel counter to prevent inward deflection of a rear portion of the upper, but the heel counter having a vertical slit to permit downward deflection of the rear portion of the upper, so as to expand a perimeter of an opening of the shoe to receive a foot and thereby facilitate donning and doffing of the rapid-entry shoe.

Rapid-entry footwear having a split back

A motion-assist shoe having a force translator with a dynamic portion comprised of a resiliently deformable material and configured to bias a rearward portion of a sole portion of the shoe upward relative to a forward portion of the sole portion.

Motion-assist footwear comprising a force translator

A rapid-entry shoe with a rotating tongue having an open configuration for ease of donning or doffing by a foot and also having a closed configuration for retention of the foot.

Rapid-entry footwear having a rotating tongue

A rapid-entry shoe with a sole portion and a footbed that slide, pivot or translate relative to each other to provide both an open configuration (for ease of donning or doffing by a foot) and a closed configuration (for securement of a foot).

Rapid-entry footwear having a transforming footbed

A rapid-entry shoe having a heel arm configured to transition between a collapsed configuration, for easy donning and doffing of the shoe, and an uncollapsed configuration, for securing a foot inside the shoe, the shoe having a resilient member configured to bias the heel arm toward the uncollapsed configuration.

Rapid-entry footwear having a heel arm and a resilient member

The present disclosure relates to an article of footwear with a sole structure having at least one adjustability pod configured to adjust at least one of a length and a width of the sole structure.

Footwear having micro adjustability

A rapid-entry shoe having a rotating rear portion configured to be rotated around an axis of rotation and deflected at a fulcrum to create a stress in the rotating rear portion when the shoe is in a collapsed configuration to bias the shoe toward an uncollapsed configuration.

Rapid-entry footwear having a rotating rear portion and a fulcrum

Sole for footwear

A shoe upper having a plurality of arms that expand the shoe opening when the topline of the upper is compressed toward the sole portion of the shoe.

Rapid-entry footwear having an arm for expanding an opening

A rapid-entry shoe comprising a forward strap and a rearward strap configured to resiliently pivot relative to the other and/or configured to rotate relative to the rapid-entry shoe. The forward strap and the rearward strap are generally further apart from one another when the rapid-entry shoe is in an open configuration to facilitate reception of a foot of an individual donning the rapid-entry shoe.
