The fastening incorporates an inflatable foot, or shoe pad, that may be integrated in a foot or shoe top part. The inflater can consist of a connecting tube, rubber pump and inlet and outlet valve. The underside (13) of the basic body may be made of non-slip material such as cross-profiled rubber (15). The top (12) of the basic body can be coated with non-slip elastic material (14) such as cork or rubber.
