A footwear combination that includes a base shoe that may be combined with plural different fitted socks to accommodate plural outfits, depending upon the fitted sock that is combined with the shoe. The fitted socks are detachable from the shoe (e.g., for washing and change of outfitting). Points of attachment between the sock and shoe extend down to the region of the metatarso-phalangeal joints. This allows the dorsal portion of the foot to remain bare and will allow fashionable women's footwear to be at once comfortable and trendy.
