For the most part, shoes comprise of a base for supporting the foot and uppers for securing the foot to the base. Many styles of footwear, constructed of various components, have long existed. The uppers play a large role as to the appearance and function of the shoe. The uppers may be of a variety of colors and materials, such as fabric, leather or a synthetic material. [0002] Certain shoes have been manufactured with removable uppers for varying the appearance of the shoe. U.S. Pat. No. 5,992,058 (Jneid) and U.S. Pat.

The disadvantages of both Jneid and Colli range from aesthetics, the snap fasteners are visible, and function, the protruding snaps can catch on external objects causing the shoe to come apart and risk possible injury to the foot. [0003] Both problems may be solved with a shoe who fastener is both aesthetically pleasing and well as flush and strong to protect the foot in the base of the shoe. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] It is the object of the invention to provide a shoe having a base with clips for attaching straps/uppers. It is another object of the invention to provide a shoe having removable straps/uppers that have an integrated loop to attach said clips. Still another object of the invention is to provide a selection of changeable straps/uppers manufactured from a variety of materials such as including but not limited to fabric, leather and synthetics. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a variety of clips that come in several shapes based on utility and aesthetics. [0005] These objects of the invention are achieved by provision of an interchangeable shoe with a three part clip and loop design, with the ability to interchange the straps, also known as the uppers, from the main base of the shoe. This is achieved by outfitting the base with a integrated loop, where the specially designed "clip" would then attach. All straps are made with integrated loops at the ends. The loops are then attached to the "clip" by sliding each end through the integral opening in the "clip," creating a finished product.
