Abstract: An article of footwear is disclosed that includes at least one of an upper and a segmented sole structure. The sole structure may include an insole portion and a plurality of discrete sole elements disposed within an outsole unit. The insole is positioned adjacent the upper and may extend along a longitudinal length of the upper. The sole elements extend from the connecting portion, and the sole elements are separated by a plurality of flexible regions.

Abstract: A shoe includes a reversible upper portion. Each shoe in the pair includes a sole and a reversible upper. An attachment system enables the uppers to be removably attachable to the soles in different exposure orientations. The coupling system may include a mating elements on the upper and the sole. The mating elements may be keyed such that one or more mating elements on the upper may only mate with selected respective elements on the sole. This system enables the reversal of the uppers to expose different aesthetic appearances if the uppers have different aesthetics on the top and bottom. As the uppers are preferably designed to be asymmetrical, reversing the uppers is accomplished by detaching and moving the upper from one sole to the other sole, inverting it to expose the other side, and attaching it to the other sole. This is particularly useful for a pair of sandals.
