Abstract: A sandal with a base plate, sandal strap and four toe separators where each separator member terminates at its top surface in a female ball joint member. Male ball joint members are fixedly attached to the front edge of the sandal strap and spaced apart to allow space for each toe when the female and male ball joints are snapped together. A preferred embodiment includes the male and female ball joints are constructed of injection molded resilient plastic allowing male portion of each the male ball joint member to snap into each female ball joint member and where the male and female ball joint members can be unsnapped when so desired to allow a user to lift his or her toes from the sandal in an unencumbered a way to not disturb newly applied nail polish that may have been applied to the user's toe nails.

Abstract: Child safety tether with a care giver vest, a child vest, a care giver tether attachment member, a child tether attachment member, a care giver tether attachment member track, a child tether attachment member track, a tether, a tether spring reel, a plurality of track to vest attachment members and a track attachment buckle. Each tether track is fixed to each vest. The tether spring reel is attached to the care giver tether attachment member. The care giver tether attachment member is slidably fixed within the care giver tether attachment track. The tether is attached at one end to the spring reel and at the other end to the child slidable tether attachment member so that when either the child or the care giver turns or rotates in place, the tether attachment members will slide within the tether attachment member tracks thereby reducing the possibility of tether entanglement.
