Abstract
The invention provides a removable instep piece for a shoe. The removable instep piece is disposed in the instep region of the upper such that it is selectively removable from the shoe separately from the tongue of the shoe. The removable instep piece includes a unitary central portion and straps extending outwardly therefrom. The straps extend one each through strap openings in the upper of the shoe. Shoe laces may be passed through eyelets in the distal end of the straps of the instep piece.
