A shoe, sandal, beach shoe, or other form of footwear, integrates a slot within
its sole structure, as this footwear is assembled, and within the slot is a continuous
band, that may form part of the shoe vamp, strapping, or related structure, and
which vamp or band may be turned, for displaying different coloration or designs,
texture, or means for providing support, massaging, or stimulation, of the foot,
as through interiorly protruding tips, or to form and dispose apertures that furnish
ventilation and aeration to the foot thereunder, all in order to change the aesthetics
of the footwear at the desire of the user. In addition, to add to the structural
integrity of the constructed shoes, a part of the vamp or its strapping, may extend
upwardly, and have a loop formed therein, or even loop back on itself, and which
may embrace the upper part of the changeable vamp, to facilitate its retention,
and structural configuration, when the vamp is turned, to vary its appearance.
