FIG.A The bottom of the shoe has flexible female tracks, which are embedded into the base of the shoe. The shoe and the sole both have dual tracks. The accepting female tracks on the shoe are of equal Lengths to the male tracks on the sole. The length of the tracks stops 1/1 of an inch short of the back of the sole and the shoe. FIG.B At the rear of the shoe just between the tracks is a striker chamber. The striker chamber is 1 1/4 of an inch in length X I of an inch in width X 1/4 of an inch in depth that allows the compressed locking bolt to decompress and erect into the striker chamber locking the sole to the shoe securely to prevent the sole from sliding forward. FIG.C The track is a T-Bar track that is T=1/4 of an inch in width X 1/8 of an inch in depth on a standard Bar 1/8 of an inch thick X 3/8 of an inch high with 2 inch centers using an optiliptical form to remove excess materials to allow more flexibility to the T. FIG.D Illustrates a retainer "bar" that is molded into the sole making the sole and the track one unit. The track could be made of a polymer graphite mixture, or various rubbers which allows flexibility and durability and as well makes the track weather and wear resistant. FIG.E The sole could be made of various materials (rubbers, vinyls or plastics) and the font of the sole covers the tip of the shoe to prevent the sole from sliding back. FIG.F The inside of the sole's parameter and the outer parameter of the shoe each have a J channel made of vinyl and plastic which helps secure the sole to the shoe. This also helps ensure that the shoe is more water-resistant and as well keeps the tracks free of debris. FIG.G Located at the heel between the tracks of the sole is a locking bolt which is made of molded plastic secured to a pivot pin made of stainless steel which is 3/16 of an inch in diameter and 1 1/5 of an inch in length molded into the sole. FIG.H There is a spring-loaded compression cylinder that is 1/4 of an inch in diameter. The cylinder is 3/8 of an inch when uncompressed and 1/4 of an inch when compressed and is built into the shoe at the opposite end of the pivot pin. The locking bolt has a 1/8 of an inch channel running through its center from the pivot pin to the compression cylinder to allow the unlocking pin to compress the locking bolt. FIG.I The unlocking pin enters through the back of the sole into (FIG.J) the locking bolt channel and inserts itself into a counter-sunk hole which is 1/8 inch in depth built into the sole. The locking bolt stays compressed down until the sole is slid into place and the hiking bolt finds the striker chamber that allows the locking bolt to erect itself. The locking bolt is 1/4 of an inch in depth X 3/4 of an inch in length and 1 inch in width. To disengage the locking bolt, an unlocking pin that is 1/8 of an inch in diameter, made durable of plastic or stainless steel is inserted through the back of the sole. The unlocking pin could be of various lengths.
