Reversible Footwear

Abstract

Reversible footwear includes a flexible sole, flexible vamp and flexible quarter combined with stretchable inserts in the upper located at approximately the arch position of the footwear. A removable insole may be added to the footwear. The insole is removed prior to reversing the footwear and then reinserted after the reversal is completed.
