Abstract
A sports sandal having a pair of arc-shaped strips secured to each lateral side of the sandal utilizes a connection means to provide more lateral support. Specifically, the connection means includes a slit on either the front or the rear strip on each lateral side of the sole of the sandal. The strip not having the slit is inserted through the slit thereby providing additional structural support for a wearer's foot. Three straps utilizing Velcro can be employed to adjustably secure the sandal about the user's foot, ankle and heel respectively.
