ABSTRACT:
A slipper or article of footwear for use subsequent to surgical procedures on the foot in which immobilization is not required. The slipper includes a sole constructed of a semi-rigid material but with sufficient flexibility that a person can still walk in a normal manner. The slipper includes forward flaps which extend upwardly and over the mid-tarsal area with the toes exposed with a rear counter attached to the sole with the area covering the heel and the flaps covering the forefoot being of one-piece construction and provided with a downwardly curved juncture area with straps with hook and loop connections being crossed and connected to the flaps and opposite portions of the counter.
