Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9937176A1] A shoe comprising a sole, and an upper, the upper having left and right portions which each terminate in an upper edge, the two upper edges being opposite each other and defining a gap therebetween. A web overlies the gap, the web being connected to the sole or the upper by at least one elastic member. The web and the elastic member are arranged to provide a resilient bias tending to urge the two upper edges towards each other. The upper edges can be moved apart against the resilient bias to thereby allow the shoe to be fitted to or removed from a user's foot.
