ABSTRACT:
A sandal has separately adjustable toe and ankle strap assemblies. The toe strap assembly has a toe strap which is permanently secured at one end thereof to one side of the insole of the sandal. An anchor member is secured to the under surface of the insole at the side thereof opposite to that at which the strap is secured. This anchor member has an upright portion with a lateral slot formed therein, this upright portion being fitted in a slot in the insole and recessed below the upper surface of the insole. The toe strap is wrapped over the wearer's foot and slidably fitted through the slot in the anchor member and then folded over on itself, a hook-loop fastener installed on opposing strap portions being employed to firmly hold the strap in position. The heel strap assembly has a pair of straps, one of which wraps around the wearer's foot directly behind the instep, the other of which wraps around the wearer's heel. Both of these straps are permanently attached at one end thereof to one side of the insole. The other of the ends of the straps are looped through a ring secured to the other side of the insole and folded back on themselves. The opposing portions of the straps are secured in a desired position by hook-loop fasteners installed on such opposing portions.
