System for interlocking a pair of shoes

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is a system for interlocking a pair of shoes for storage. The system comprises a right shoe having a sole and a first cavity within the sole of the right shoe; a left shoe having a sole and a second cavity within the sole of the left shoe; a male fastener rotatably mounted within one of either the first cavity or the second cavity; and a female fastener rotatably mounted within the other of either the first cavity or the second cavity; wherein the male fastener and the female fastener may be releasably fastened to each other when rotated in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the soles of the right shoe and the left shoe so as to couple the right shoe and left shoe together.

1 . A system for interlocking a pair of shoes comprising:
 a right shoe having a sole and a first cavity within the sole of the right shoe;   a left shoe having a sole and a second cavity within the sole of the left shoe;   a male fastener rotatably mounted within one of either the first cavity or the second cavity; and   a female fastener rotatably mounted within the other of either the first cavity or the second cavity;   wherein the male fastener and the female fastener may be releasably fastened to each other when rotated in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the soles of the right shoe and the left shoe so as to couple the right shoe and left shoe together.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the male fastener is mounted within the right shoe and the female fastener is mounted within the left shoe. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the male fastener is mounted within the left show and the female fastener is mounted within the right shoe. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a buckle. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a side release buckle. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a center release buckle. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sum of the length of the male fastener and female fastener, when interconnected, is greater than two inches and less than five inches. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a third cavity within the sole of the right shoe; 
 a fourth cavity within the sole of the left shoe; 
 a male fastener rotatably mounted within one of either the third cavity or the fourth cavity; and 
 a female fastener rotatably mounted within the other of either the third cavity or the fourth cavity.
