The present invention relates to a molded shoe featuring a 3 dimensional figure (e.g., an animal or character). The shoe has a sole having a bottom surface that comprises a series of projections and recesses that form a print for an animal or character, to thereby obtain an imprinting surface; and an upper, attached to the sole, having an outer surface that comprises a series of projections and recesses that form a three dimensional figure (e.g., an animal figure or a character figure). The sole and upper are substantially formed from molded plastic; the projections and recesses of the animal imprinting surface allow one wearing the shoe to make imprints on a soft surface, and the three dimensional figure on the outer surface of the upper relates to the print of the imprinting surface. The methods of the present invention further include making imprints with the bottom surface of the shoe. In an aspect, the shoe of the present invention includes a sole that includes a bottom surface and an outsole extending therefrom; and a toe cap, wherein the toe cap and the outsole comprise an outer surface that comprises a series of projections and recesses that form a three-dimensional figure. The toe cap, the sole, the outsole, and the three-dimensional animal or character figure are a single piece formed by a molded material. This embodiment of the invention further includes a modified upper, adapted to attach to the toe cap and the outsole.
