Abstract

A child's footwear is disclosed and includes comprises-a boot member having a foot enclosing member and a lower leg encircling member attached to the foot enclosing member, a fastening mechanism having a strap and hook-and-loop fastener components for fastening the lower leg encircling member about the child's lower leg, and a signalling mechanism constructed of reflective material. The signalling mechanism has an elongate configuration in the form of an exclamation point and extends substantially from an upper extremity of the lower leg encircling member to a juncture between the lower leg encircling member and the foot enclosing member, a non-vertical orientation, and at least two rows of stitches, one of which is spaced along each side of the signalling mechanism such that the signalling mechanism is caused to bulge convexly outwardly between the two rows of stitches.
