Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a shoe with recesses defined in the heel and/or outsole and decorative pieces are received in the recesses.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional shoe generally includes an outsole with a vamp on a top of the outsole and a heel extends from an underside of the outsole. The vamp can be made by different kinds of material and colors so as to show the fashion ideas that designers want to present. However, the vamp is easily to be scratched by objects and the scratch on the vamp is difficult to be removed. Besides, the high heels have a fixed and unchangeable appearance and make people feel monotonous no matter how fashion they were when first published. A vigorous design is a goal for the designers.

The present invention intends to provide a shoe that includes decorative pieces received in recesses in the outsole and/or the heel so as to have a brand new feel and fashion style.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a shoe which comprises an outsole with a vamp or a strap connected to a top thereof and a heel is connected to an underside of the outsole. A chamber is defined in the heel and a decorative piece is received in the chamber.
