Convertible Shoe

Abstract

A convertible shoe comprising a flexible toe box, capable of being worn in closed toe mode or open toe mode. The flexible toe box covers the wearer's toes in closed toe mode. When worn in open toe mode, the flexible toe box is flattened such that the wearer steps on the top of the flexible toe box, and the wearer's toes are exposed. A toe catch button is utilized to assist in allowing the convertible shoe to be worn conveniently in open toe mode. The toe catch button attaches to at least the insole of the shoe via a toe catch shaft. When worn, the toe catch shaft goes between the wearer's first and second toes. When worn in open toe mode, the toe catch button is directly above the wearer's first and second toes to provide adequate holding of the shoe when walking.
