Nowadays, shoes became an integral part of our style. Slippers have also become a way of expressing one's style in the recent years. Shoes take the person one step further in style. It can be completed with nearly any combination with its heeled models, flat soles, sporty or classic designs. Shoe models include types that can be used by people of all ages.

Slippers, being indispensable for daily life and representing comfort, revealed diversification over the years as per the needs and fashion. Sandals and slippers, which are used to reduce the effect of high temperatures, especially in summer months breathe easily and never cause sweating by means of the open toe and side parts of the feet. Moisture, that is the most threatening factor for foot health, is eliminated by the use of sandals and slippers. Slippers have a wide usage area not only in summer but also in every season of the year. Slipper models, which are suitable for daily use, are used on different floors, indoor or outdoor areas. The same meticulousness shown when making the purchasing decision for shoes is also shown in the selection of slippers.

Besides the functional aspects of shoes, their aesthetic features also affect the selection being made. Today, shoes/sandals/slippers are used with metallic reflections. As ornated with sparkling stones, tassels and beads, shoes/sandals/slippers add light to women's style both at home and outdoors. In the current situation, the ornamental details of the shoes with stones and tassels are pasted on the shoes. After the tassel edges are adhered to the shoe support area, the gaps are siliconed with a silicone gun and wrapped by inward curling. But the attached accessories break off, fall off and hence disappear over time. In this way, the person can not use the slippers/shoes again as they lose their aesthetics visually.

With the snap fastener on the upper part of the shoes/sandals/slippers that are the subject of the invention, the desired accessory can be attached and used continuously without being lost. When the accessory on the shoes/sandals/slippers is lost or falls off, the person can use the slipper again by means of the invention instead of throwing it away.

Structural and characteristic features of the invention and all its advantages will be understood more clearly with the figures given below and the detailed explanation being made and hence, this evaluation must be made by taking these figures and detailed explanation into consideration.
