Abstract: A footwear with refractive internal illumination has a footwear, a translucent body and an illumination system. A translucent body refracts light at a first index, cavities refract light at a second index, the first index of light and the second index of light then reflect between the translucent body and at least one cylindrical elongated opaque strap, the at least one cylindrical elongated opaque strap then refracts the first index and second index of light to create twice refracted light, whereby the first index of twice refracted light internally illuminates the at least one cylindrical elongated opaque strap, and whereby the second index of twice refracted light appears as brighter points of light on the at least one cylindrical elongated opaque strap.

Abstract: Twice-refracted light, produced by emitting light for refraction from a translucent body, reflection between said translucent body and an opaque section of an upper, and refraction again by the upper, is applied to footwear to create an enhanced internal illumination effect. To create this, at least one light source is connected to a power source and installed into a footwear. The light source is connected to the translucent body, where light is first refracted. The upper can be implemented as a cylindrical elongated strap or as an enclosed part of a footwear. Aesthetic designs can be incorporated into the upper by adding light-refracting sections to the upper, as well as through light-impermeable stencils. To enhance the refraction of light and ultimate brightness and intensity as observed by a person, refractive boundary sections can be incorporated to the translucent body. Further enhancements and alterations regarding the twice-refracted light remain possible.
