Abstract:
A system for protecting the toes comprises a pair of shoes with certain adaptations so that a removable portable element with a casing can be fitted thereto and removed therefrom easily and quickly, by means of three lower tabs—two side tabs and one front tab—which fit to the sole of the shoe, and two straps—an inner strap and an outer strap—which fasten to the shoe. The characteristics the shoe and removable element mean that when the removable element is fitted, it does not extend beyond the limits of the footprint, and therefore comfort and aesthetics are not compromised when the shoes are worn. The system also has the flexibility of being able to have a wide range of standardized designs per model and size, which can then be interchanged with each other in order to increase the design options for the user.

Claim (Index 1):
A shoe convertible from a conventional shoe into a safety shoe with a casing and vice versa, further comprising the two components system, the first one is a removable element and the other one is the shoe with the necessary adjustments to host the said first element; this removable element has three tabs on its lower part, two of them on both sides, that is, one on the lateral lower inner part, the other on the lateral lower outer part and a third one on the front lower part: the lateral tabs that are folded to the inner lower part of the shoe and can fitted in a lower grove of the sole that goes along the periphery of the sole and has the purpose of hosting these flanges; the front tab is also folded to the lower inner part of the shoe that can fitted in the sole grove as planned for this purpose; besides these tabs, the removable element has a lower outer edge, which after being installed in the shoe fits completely or partially to the upper sole edge of the shoe, so the removable portable element can fit in the shoe, meaning that it does not extend beyond the limits of the footprint; this combination of the lower edge of the removable element over the upper edge of the shoe sole along with the lateral and front tabs, are the settings that avoid the removable element from moving backwards, upwards or downwards after being installed as a safety shoe and under regular use circumstances; the removable part has also two slots, one on the inner side part and the other one on the outer side part, every slot is used to set a strap that has already been assembled to the removable element thought this slot, each of these straps contains a male snap, a female snap is installed to another strap assembled to the shoe, which will guarantee that the removable part remains in place once fasten both male & female snaps; this one is the last step to follow to install the removable element with toe cap to the shoe which converts the conventional shoe into a safety shoe, avoiding any type of movement in any direction under regular use circumstances and thus after uninstalling this removable element, returns to be a regular shoe.
