Abstract

An overshoe for footwear particularly for fishing, comprising:
- coating means of at least the sole of the boot : said means realizing an external shoe to wear the footwear/boot;
- antislipping means applied like a moquette, inferiorly to said coating means with soft fabric stratum in wool or other similar material.

Description

The present invention regards an overshoe for footwear particularly for fishing.
The innovation finds particular even if not exclusive application in the sport of the fishing as an overshoe for boots and similar footwear.
In prior art footwear for fishing are well known in different types. Fishing boots in different size and type with upper generally made in PVC associated to a semirigid molded sole in conveniently semirigid rubber material are well known.
The principal drawback for such shoes or boots and more in particular of the respective sole, is given by the poor adherence in the water beds covered with slipping slime causing instability of the fisherman and his falling down in water. Naturally the adherence of the sole furthermore decrease in the deep and impetuous river crossover. A first solution provides to apply externally to the sole respective crampons, nails and similar gripping means, which tight is acceptable on the gravelly ground but not in river beds where slime and a lot of slipping stones in different sizes are present.
More recently one solution concerns a use of e PVC leotard in combination with a special boot having the respective sole covered with felt stratum.
Such solution allows a relative improvement of the adherence, but the user is obliged to use such a boot also in walking in different grounds, realizing a strong and rapid consumption.
The glued felt stratum is further easy detachable from the sole being sticked on smooth surface.
Scope of the present invention is that to obviate to the mentioned drawbacks.
This and other scopes are reached with the present invention as claimed solving the exposed problems by means of an overshoe for footwear particularly for fishing comprising:
- coating means of at least the sole of the boot: said means realizing an external shoe to wear the overshoe/boot;
- antislipping means applied like a moquette, inferiorly to said coating means with soft fabric stratum in wool or other similar material.
In such a way we achieve different advantages:
Firstly the antislipping effect is more effective if compared to the well known felt solution.
Secondly the invention being an overshoe, it is easily unwearable and can be used only in the specific activity to walk in bed rivers.
An overshoe being further easily adaptable to different boots the PVC last ones included.
With this solution is possible to reduce drastically the wear and the relative costs.
These and other advantages will appear from the following description of the invention in a preferred but not imitative solution with the accompanying drawings which particulars of execution are not to be considered imitative but exemplificative solely.

Figure 1 represents a lateral schematic view of an overshoe with evidenced the sole in its preferred form of realization.
Figure 2 represents a lateral schematic view of wearing of the overshoe of Figure 1.

The Figures disclose an overshoe (A) for footwear (5) particularly for fishing, essentially composed as a shoe (1) of the type like sandalwood or Romanian "caliga" comprising essentially: a rear part (a) that wrap the heel and the tibia, and a frontal part (b) that wrap the foot with relative prod. The lateral part is completed with a plurality of strips (6) having the respective ends holed (7) to lace up the overshoe (4) on the boot (5). Be noted that the end of the strips (6) extends over the tongue (8) comprising the prod which protracts until the upper opening of the overshoe (A) at the neck level of the foot. The lower part of the overshoe (A) being the undersole (B), provided with a first plastic rigid or semirigid stratum material and/or semens (2) and a second soft stratum of wool fabric or similar material applied under the sole in moquette shape (like a brush 3).

Claims

1. An overshoe for footwear/boot particularly for fishing, characterized by the fact of comprising:
- a sole covered inferiorly with a stratum of
- antislipping means in the form of soft fabric understratum in wool or other similar material.

2. An overshoe according to the claim 1., characterized in that the antislipping means applied under the sole of the overshoe is moquette.

3. An overshoe according to claims 1. and 2., characterized in that the stratum of antislipping means is realized and applied at its turn in a form of an interchangeable oversole.

4. An overshoe according to the previous claims, characterized in that it includes a rear part (a) that wrap the heel and the tibia, and a front part (b) that wrap the foot realizing even relative prod and in which the lateral part includes a plurality of strips (6) the respective end (7) being clasped by lacing means (4) said strips (6) extending on a tongue (8) that realize the prod and protracts into the opening of the overshoe (A) at the neck level of the foot.

5. An overshoe according to previous claims characterized in that the lower part of the overshoe (A) includes a sole (B) obtained with a first rigid or semirigid plastic material stratum (2) and a second and soft stratum of wool fabric or similar material in a brush moquette shape (3).
