Abstract
This device is an improvement of a shoe ornamentation system. The improvement provides a means of attaching removable ornamentation that is resistant to accidental dislodgment, and the ornamentation may be attached to virtually any part of the shoe, including the heel and toe regions of the shoe upper. The device is composed of a detachable locking clip that has the shoe ornament affixed to it, and a bar, the center of which the locking clip attaches. The ends of the bar are fastened to the shoe at the time the shoe is manufactured.
