Abstract
A fluid filled amusement or attention attracting article for attachment to footwear is comprised of at least one fluid filled chamber secured to the exterior of the footwear. The fluid filled chamber is constructed of a flexible transparent material and contains a fluid that is visible from the exterior of the chamber. The liquid is brightly colored and serves as an attention attracting device for attracting the attention of motorists to a pedestrian wearing the shoe employing the article. The fluid filled chamber also serves as an amusement device where the fluid contained in the chamber is caused to flow through the chamber by manipulation of the flexible chamber sidewalls and the flow of fluid is both visible and sensed by touch.
