Abstract: The embodiments are directed toward a containment device for attachment to an item of clothing, preferably a shoe. The device comprises a sheet of material folded to form a front portion, a back portion, and a cover piece. The cover piece is connected to one end of the front portion, while the back portion is connected to the other end of the front portion. The cover piece can fold over the distal end of the back portion such that a sleeve is formed wherein an item can be stored. The back portion contains a front surface and a rear surface. The front surface contacts the stored item. The rear surface contains at least one means for attaching the containment device to an item of clothing. The device can also be stitched directly onto an item of clothing.

Abstract: The current invention is directed toward an item of footwear with upper and lower soles, which are removably attached to each other by a zipper, where the sole contains one or more compartments created by mating cavities formed into the mating faces of the upper and lower soles. Access to the compartment(s) is achieved through zippers and a flexible sole. A zipper is located along the fringe of the sole, separating the sole into an upper sole and a lower sole. A zipper encompassing the entire fringe of the sole allows for complete removal of the lower sole. A zipper encompassing part of the fringe combined with the flexible sole allows easy access to a compartment. The existence of a compartment is, optionally, hidden by making the zipper the same color as the sole, or by hiding the zipper under a protective sleeve.
