ABSTRACT:
A foot insertion device to enable an athlete to very quickly don biking or running shoes while participating in a multievent sport such as swimming, biking and running triathons. The device comprises a plurality of shoe heel retaining sockets with compressible foam pad supports under the shoes. A "foot funnel" of flexible material guides the athlete's foot into a shoe. Each shoe is held open by the foot funnel and by hook and loop straps that hold the tongue in an open retracted position. The back of the shoe heel is held in position in the device by hook and loop fasteners which detach in a controlled manner. The foam pad compresses in a controlled manner also, the combination operating together to assure that the athlete's foot is completely in the shoe before the athlete moves the shoe out of the device.
