ABSTRACT:
An improved construction of a shoe which permits the wearer to more readily step into the shoe without the use of his hands and which does not result in damage to the shoe. The shoe's counter incorporates a rigid shoe horn member generally conforming to the shape of the wearer's heel. The lateral edges of the foot receiving opening in the upper of the shoe is rolled and padded so that it does not become crushed as the wearer's foot is slipped into the shoe. The tongue member is reinforced with a stiffner which, too, precludes the tongue from wrinkling and/or rolling up as the foot is inserted into the shoe. Finally, an adjustable elasticized securing mechanism is adapted to bridge the metatarsal arch is included to allow the foot to spread the shoe during entry but which restores the shoe to a tight fit once the foot is inside.
