Abstract: A shoe is provided that includes a sole with an outsole and toe bridge opening, a tread arranged in the form of a tread pattern on the outsole, a strap which, together with the sole, forms a foot opening for holding the foot in the metatarsal and/or toe area, and a toe bridge. The toe bridge extends from the strap through the foot opening and through the toe bridge opening of the sole. A button is configured to secure the toe bridge to the sole by preventing the toe bridge from being pulled out of the toe bridge opening. The button has a shape that completes the tread pattern. In embodiments, the shoe is a bathing sandal.
