Abstract
The footpad of the present invention has multiple holes through which air flows to ventilate a wearer's feet while the wearer walks, runs, or jumps. The present invention provides sufficient support to the wearer and traction control to be used as the sole in a shoe or sandal. The present invention has a belt that slides to open or restrict the multiple holes through which air flows to ventilate the feet. Thus, for example, the wearer can open the holes for ventilation during warm weather and close the holes to restrict ventilation during cold weather.
