ABSTRACT:
A new and improved connector is provided for footwear and associated specific footwear step-on devices and surfaces. The invention utilizes complementing members of a type of separable, coacting, flexible gripping means, such as hook and loop "Velcro" type or knob-knob type or other similar flexible type fastening members. These members are arranged to form an integral firmly attached part of the invention specific sole of footwear worn by individuals and associated interfacing invention tailored step-on device surfaces and permit proper positioning mating and omnidirectional on-demand break-away disengagement between footwear sole and interfacing step-on device surfaces. The connector is enhanced and applicable to devices other than designated pedals of the prior application including to stirrups, skis and devices such as skateboards, snowboards, and surfboards among other step-on devices and surfaces for the purpose of yielding proper positive foot positioning, slip and pull-resistance, anatomical motion compliance and on-demand omnidirectional release. In summary, the invention provides improved device engagement, combined contact and disengagement enhancement for expanded functional effectivity and performance, including more safety and comfort, and effective off-surface mobility.
