Abstract: A motion-assist shoe having a force translator with a dynamic portion comprised of a resiliently deformable material and configured to bias a rearward portion of a sole portion of the shoe upward relative to a forward portion of the sole portion.

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe with a sole portion and a footbed that slide, pivot or translate relative to each other to provide both an open configuration (for ease of donning or doffing by a foot) and a closed configuration (for securement of a foot).

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe having a sole portion and a rebounding portion being comprised of the same material and being a unified structure. The rapid-entry shoe has a collapsed configuration in which a perimeter of the topline is expanded and an uncollapsed configuration in which the perimeter of the topline is unexpanded, and the rapid-entry shoe is biased by the rebounding portion toward the uncollapsed configuration.

Abstract: A footbed system having a footbed and a removeable foot support with a bumper to adjust the size, fit and/or comfort of a shoe.

Abstract: A footbed having a plurality of pods that can be added, removed and/or replaced to adjust the fit and/or comfort of a shoe.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a footbed for an article of footwear, the footbed having an arch portion defined by a curve, wherein a height of the curve is adjustable to increase or decrease the height of the arch portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a shoe having a compressible lattice structure in a heel portion to facilitate rapid, easy donning and doffing of shoes. In example embodiments, the lattice structure includes a plurality of interconnected, overlapping, intersecting and/or woven ribs defining a plurality of apertures. The lattice structure has an open position in which the shoe opening is expanded to facilitate reception of a foot of an individual wearing the rapid-entry shoe, and a closed position in which the shoe opening is smaller to retain the foot within the rapid-entry shoe.

Abstract: An upper of an article of footwear including a dynamic material configured for topographic transformation to alter at least one of a fit, an insulation, or a ventilation, of the article of footwear.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure comprise adjustable footwear having apertures in sole structure. The one or more apertures extend all or partially between opposing bottom and top surfaces of the sole structure. The one or more apertures are generally configured to facilitate and accommodate adjustability of the sole structure (e.g., in length and/or width).

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe having a sole portion, an upper coupled to the sole portion, and a heel bow. The heel bow extends around the rear portion of the shoe and has a heel bow dynamic portion located above an opening topline of the shoe. In an open configuration, the heel bow dynamic portion is pivoted downward to facilitate entry of the foot into the shoe, while in a closed configuration, the heel bow dynamic portion is returned upward to facilitate retention of the foot inside the shoe.

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe having an elastic element to enlarge a foot opening of the rapid-entry shoe and also having a stabilizer to prevent a rear portion of the rapid-entry shoe from collapsing downward.

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe with a rotating tongue having an open configuration for ease of donning or doffing by a foot and also having a closed configuration for retention of the foot.

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe having an elastic element to enlarge a foot opening of the rapid-entry shoe and also having a stabilizer to prevent a rear portion of the rapid-entry shoe from collapsing downward.
