Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for securing an item of footwear may stand alone or be integral with an item of luggage. The apparatus has a continuous large flap and two flap ends with a center portion located between the two flaps. The center portion is secured to the luggage, and two flap ends are arranged to partially encircle the body section of the footwear when the footwear is placed upon the center portion. One flap end partially overlaps the other. The flaps are attached to one another such that the flap ends secure the footwear to the luggage substantially at the body section of the footwear. A rear strap is secured to either of the base portion, the center portion or a flap end and encircles the heel, section of the footwear when the footwear is placed upon the base portion. The rear strap secures the footwear to the luggage and prevents the footwear from sliding in a direction toward the heel section of the footwear. Also, a third strap encircles the body section of the footwear and prevents the footwear from sliding in a direction toward the toe section of the footwear. The large flap is shaped to conform to the item of footwear being secured in order to provide a snug fit.
