Shoe with a transparent toe cap

Abstract

A shoe has a sole, a vamp and a transparent toe cap. The toe cap is secured to the vamp at the position corresponding to the toe of the wearer. With such an arrangement, any person can see through the toe cap and directly determine whether the shoe fits or not. To buy a shoe that does not fit is avoided. In addition, a shoe will have a different appearance when a vamp with a different toe cap is used. The appearance of the shoe is variable, and the cost for manufacturing shoes with different appearances is reduced.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A shoe comprising: 
 a sole;    a vamp secured to the sole for enclosing a foot of a wearer who wears the shoe; and    a transparent toe cap secured to the vamp at a position corresponding to the toe of the wearer.    
     
     
         2 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a recess is defined in the vamp to securely connect the toe cap.  
     
     
         3 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the toe cap has an inverse L-shaped section.  
     
     
         4 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein a flange extends from a top end of the toe cap to connect to the vamp.  
     
     
         5 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein multiple vents are defined in the toe cap.
