US Patent 7310894 Footwear for use in shower

A shower shoe diminishes the risk of slipping in wet and slippery areas. The shower shoe or slipper can be easily worn by an individual when taking a shower, bath or simply walking through a slippery area. The shower shoe includes a mesh top through which water can pass, a rubber sole with water drainage slits through which water can pass, and grooves on the bottom of the rubber sole that prevent hydroplaning when walking in water. A Velcro® closure enables simple fastening of the shoe. A loop on the back of the shoe enables one to easily grip the shoe when putting the shoe on or taking the shoe off. The same loop can be used to hang the shower shoe while drying it. Siping is included in the bottom side of the sole.
