Abstract

Footwear including a sole (1), a footstrap (2) constructed to extend over at least a portion of the wearer' s foot and secure the foot to the footwear, a medial footstrap stay (3) and a lateral footstrap stay (4) attached to medial and lateral sides of the sole, respectively, is provided. The footstrap may be secured to the sole near the toe end of the sole and may have a loop portion that extends rearwardly from the toe end along the medial and lateral sides of the sole and extends across the sole approximately near a mid- foot region of the sole. The medial and lateral stays may be arranged to slidably engage with the loop portion of the footstrap so that the loop portion can move in a heel-to- toe direction relative to the stay. The medial stay may be attached to the sole at a location that is nearer the toe end of the sole than a location where the lateral stay is attached to the sole. The loop portion may have a cross-sectional area that varies along its length.
