Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/176,186, filed Feb. 12, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to a garment for children, and more particularly a shoe fastener strap having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is designed for attachment to a child's pant leg, and the second end is designed for attachment to a child's shoe.
- Babies and toddlers often wear lightweight and flexible shoes that allow their feet to naturally move and flex. Shoes being lightweight helps toddlers to develop strength in their feet so that walking may be accomplished more safely and effectively as the child reaches walking age.
- As a result of baby and/or toddler shoes being soft and flexible, the shoes often fall off of a baby or toddler's feet. This occurs particularly frequently because of the high activity levels of babies and toddlers as they crawl around a floor using their feet to push off and crawl along the floor. The high activity levels of a baby or toddler can cause the repeated and constant issue of shoes falling off of a baby or toddler's foot. Shoes falling off of a baby or toddler's foot can result in a number of problems, including a foot being exposed to something potentially harmful that is left on the ground such as a snag in a hardwood floor, a dangerous obstacle like a raised threshold, or other debris. Moreover, baby and/or toddler shoes may be permanently lost which could result in the repeated requirement of buying additional shoes as shoes are lost. The repeated need of buying additional shoes can become an expensive and time consuming process.
- The present invention relates to a shoe fastener strap for selectively attaching a baby or toddler's shoe to his or her pant leg to reduce the likelihood of the shoe being lost or otherwise unattached. The shoe fastener strap preferably includes a first end that has a first fastener, wherein the first fastener is selectively attachable to a baby or toddler's pant leg. The shoe fastener strap also preferably includes a second end that has a second fastener, wherein the second fastener is selectively attachable to a baby or toddler's shoe. A strap is provided between the first end and the second end of the shoe fastener strap wherein the strap is attached to the first fastener at the first end and to the second fastener at the second end.
- In one embodiment, the first fastener has both of a first jaw and a second jaw that are used to selectively attach the first fastener to a pant leg. In that embodiment, the first fastener also includes a closing tab that enables the second jaw to be closed toward the first jaw. The closing tab may also include a tab backing member that is attached to the closing tab. The tab backing member preferably has a surface area greater than the closing tab to allow a user to more easily close and open the jaws of the first fastener and therefore attach the shoe fastener strap to a pant leg as well as to detach the shoe fastener strap from a pant leg. In at least one embodiment the strap between the first and second end is elastic such that any movements in either of the wearer's shoe or pant leg provide some flex to the shoe fastener strap such that neither is stressed and damaged.
- In another separate embodiment, a system for selectively attaching a baby or toddler's shoe to a pant leg is provided. The system includes a shoe, a pant leg, and a shoe fastener strap. The shoe fastener strap preferably includes a first end and a second end. The first end includes a first fastener that is selectively attachable to a pant leg. The second end includes a second fastener that is selectively attachable to a shoe. A strap may be provided between the first end and the second end, wherein the strap is attached to the first fastener at the first end and to the second fastener at the second end.
- The first fastener may include a first jaw and a second jaw for selectively attaching the first fastener to a baby or toddler's pant leg. The first fastener may also include a closing tab that may help to operate the second jaw such that it closes toward the first jaw when enabled and thus secures the shoe fastener strap to the pant leg of a wearer. The closing tab may also include a tab backing member which helps to facilitate the closing and opening of the closing tab. The tab backing member may be decorated and/or adorned so as to encourage a baby or toddler to wear the shoe fastener strap. In at least one embodiment, the strap between the first end and the second end may be elastic such that the shoe fastener strap provides some give when either of a shoe or a pant leg is pulled or stretched.
