Abstract
A device that can reduce, mute or eliminate the noise associated with walking in sandals while retaining the comfort and stylish appearance of the sandal is disclosed. The device cushions the slap of the seat of a sandal against the heel of the wearer and also decreases the distance between the seat of the sandal and the heel of the wearer, reducing the "slapping" noise. The device comprises an insert affixed to the seat of the insole of a sandal or disposed between the sole and the insole of a sandal in the seat portion. The device may be made of different materials and may be affixed permanently or removably. The strap of the sandal may be removably attached to the sandal and interchanged.
