FIELD: footwear.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to an apparatus and methods for putting on and removing a footwear product. The apparatus for putting on and removing a footwear product includes a sole element, a top element, a pedal element, a fixing element, an elasticity element, an interconnection element. In the design of the footwear product, the sole element is connected with the top element and the pedal element, the top element and the pedal element are connected with the interconnection element, the elasticity element is connected with the top element and/or the pedal element, the fixing element is configured to engage with the matching part and fix the pedal element in the pressed position. If the sole element is curved, it is configured to fix the foot in the footwear product in the "closed" state of the footwear product, the interconnection element is connected with the top element, the pedal element, and the sole element, and the elasticity element is connected with the top element and/or the pedal element and/or the sole element. The sole element serves as a foot support, the top element is configured to cover and fix the foot in the footwear product in the "closed" state of the footwear product, the pedal element is configured to receive energy from the pressure of the foot and bring the footwear product to the "closed" state, the fixing element is configured to fix the footwear product in the "closed" state, the elasticity element exhibiting potential energy is configured to bring the footwear product to the "opened" state, the interconnection element is configured to transfer motion from one element to another.

EFFECT: technical result is a reduction in the time and effort consumed for putting on and removing the footwear product.
