ABSTRACT:
An article of footwear including a platform, an upper vamp, a bottom sole and an insole. The platform includes first and second uniformly thick layers of foam rubber having a given density extending throughout the toe and heel portions of the platform, and a third layer of foam rubber having a greater density positioned between the first and second layers in the heel portion of the platform and terminating in a wedge pointing away from the heel portion for providing a platform in which the bottom surface of the platform is relatively flat and the top surface of the platform is raised in the heel portion. The upper vamp includes a thong attached to the toe portion of the platform, and side straps attached to the thong and to opposite sides of the heel portion of the platform. The side straps flare out in width from the thong to a width of at least 11/2 inches where the side straps are attached to the heel portion. The bottom sole consists of crepe rubber and extends over the bottom surface of the platform. The bottom sole has a bottom surface including a tread for providing a gripping action between the article of footwear and a smooth floor. The bottom sole includes a toe segment extending upward and outward toward the top surface of the platform at the end of the toe portion and a heel segment extending upward and outward toward the top surface of the platform at the end of the heel portion. The bottom surface of the bottom sole between the toe and heel segments has a tread, and the toe and heel segments have a uniformly rough surface. The insole consists of suede leather.
