Abstract

A rapid-entry shoe comprising a forward strap and a rearward strap configured to resiliently pivot relative to the other and/or configured to rotate relative to the rapid-entry shoe. The forward strap and the rearward strap are generally further apart from one another when the rapid-entry shoe is in an open configuration to facilitate reception of a foot of an individual donning the rapid-entry shoe.

Claims (29)

1. A rapid-entry shoe having a forward strap, a rearward strap and a sole portion;

wherein the forward strap is continuous with the rearward strap on a medial side of the rapid-entry shoe at a medial intersection;

wherein the forward strap is continuous with the rearward strap on a lateral side of the rapid-entry shoe at a lateral intersection;

wherein the forward strap extends forward between the medial intersection and the lateral intersection;

wherein the rearward strap extends rearward between the medial intersection and the lateral intersection;

wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are configured to resiliently pivot relative to the other from the medial intersection or the lateral intersection;

wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are a unitary structure formed of a single continuous piece and comprised of a resilient material; and

wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are configured to rotate relative to the rapid-entry shoe about an axis of rotation.

2. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are a unitary structure comprising a living hinge.

3. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein an upper of the rapid-entry shoe is coupled to the forward strap or the rearward strap.

4. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the medial intersection and the lateral intersection are below an upper surface of the sole portion.

5. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the medial intersection and the lateral intersection are above an upper surface of the sole portion.

6. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the axis of rotation is below an upper surface of the sole portion.

7. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 1 , wherein the axis of rotation is above an upper surface of the sole portion.

8. A rapid-entry shoe having a forward strap, a rearward strap and a sole portion;

wherein the forward strap is continuous with the rearward strap on a medial side of the rapid-entry shoe at a medial intersection;

wherein the forward strap is continuous with the rearward strap on a lateral side of the rapid-entry shoe at a lateral intersection;

wherein the forward strap extends forward between the medial intersection and the lateral intersection;

wherein the rearward strap extends rearward between the medial intersection and the lateral intersection;

wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are a unitary structure formed of a single continuous piece and comprised of a resilient material; and

wherein the rapid-entry shoe is biased from an open configuration toward a closed configuration, the forward strap and the rearward strap being generally further apart from one another when the rapid-entry shoe is in the open configuration to facilitate reception of a foot of an individual donning the rapid-entry shoe.

9. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are a unitary structure comprising a living hinge.

10. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein an upper of the rapid-entry shoe is coupled to the forward strap or the rearward strap.

11. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein the medial intersection and the lateral intersection are below an upper surface of the sole portion.

12. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein the medial intersection and the lateral intersection are above an upper surface of the sole portion.

13. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are configured to resiliently pivot relative to the other from the medial intersection or the lateral intersection.

14. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 8 , wherein the forward strap and the rearward strap are configured to rotate relative to the rapid-entry shoe about an axis of rotation.

15. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 14 , wherein the axis of rotation is below an upper surface of the sole portion.

16. The rapid-entry shoe of claim 14 , wherein the axis of rotation is above an upper surface of the sole portion.
