Abstract

An item of footwear including: a sole having a foot resting part, a tread, and at least one through hole which forms an expanded seat at the tread; an upper; and engagement elements connected to the upper. The engagement elements each have an upper end which is connected to the upper and a lower free end arranged distally from the upper which is shaped so as to pass through and elastically deform a respective through hole to eventually grip in a respective expanded seat for connecting the engagement element to the sole without use of any other coupling device. The upper end of each engagement element is substantially flat and has one side which is substantially non-removably attached to a lateral side portion of the upper by any of stitching, gluing and welding techniques.
