Supplies

Fusion 360

Step 1: Base

Select Sketch on the top plane, make a 2-point rectangle and using fillet, curve its edges.

Step 2: Fillet

After filleting and sharpening the edges, this is what it will look like

Step 3: Defining the Shape

Make a circle and an ellipse

Step 4: Extrude

Then extrude the edges

Step 5: Extrude the Bottom

To not make it clear from the base, extrude the base by a small margin

Step 6: Making the Straps

Create an offset plane from the bottom of the shoe that is 1.2cm above the base. Create a rectangle and make diagonal lines

Step 7: Extrude

Extrude it and you're done!
