Definitions

  • Shoes are manufactured in a wide variety of lengths and sizes to accommodate various shapes of feet.
  • the shape and size of a child's foot changes dramatically from birth through puberty. This results in children tending to rapidly outgrow their shoes before their shoes actually wear out.
  • parents are forced to spend a significant amount of time and money buying new shoes for their children as their children continue to grow.
  • the old but useable shoes are either saved for a younger child or, more likely, discarded.
  • a child's shoe which can be adjusted to accommodate the growth of a child's foot.
  • the shoe has an outer sole which has an upper foot supporting surface area.
  • a standard upper portion of the shoe is permanently attached to the outer sole.
  • a removable pad which is about the same size as the outer sole is placed inside the shoe and positioned over but is not attached to the outer sole.
  • An inner sole which has an upper foot engaging surface area and is substantially the same size as the removable pad, is placed inside the shoe and positioned over the removable pad.
  • the shoe can include a means, such as an adhesive, which attaches the removable pad to the inner sole so that the inner sole can be removed from the removable pad after the child's shoe needs adjustment due to the growth of the child's foot.
  • a means such as an adhesive
  • Also disclosed herein is a method for adjusting the size of a child's shoe to accommodate the growth of a child's foot.
  • the method involves taking a shoe and placing a removable pad, which is substantially the same size as the shoe's outer sole, over but unattached to the shoe's outer sole and then placing an inner sole, which is substantially the same size as the removable pad, over the removable pad upon initial fitting of the child's shoe to the child's foot.
  • the inner sole is lifted from the shoe, the removable pad is withdrawn from the shoe, and the inner sole is positioned back into the shoe.
  • the shoe can now accommodate the child's foot which has grown.
  • Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in cross-section, of a shoe incorporating the removable pad and inner sole.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of an inner sole.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a removable pad.
  • a child's shoe 10 comprising an upper portion 15, an outer sole 20, an inner sole 30, and a removable pad 40.
  • Upper portion 15, which can be made of a natural material such as leather or a synthetic material, has an exterior surface 44 and an interior surface 48 which contacts a foot when the foot is in shoe 10.
  • Upper portion 15 is permanently attached by stitching or an adhesive to outer sole 20.
  • Outer sole 20, which can be made of rubber, leather or various other types of natural or synthetic materials, has an upper foot supporting surface area 52 and a lower exterior contacting surface area 56.
  • Outer sole 20 has a heel supporting portion 58 and a toe supporting portion 60.
  • Figure 2 depicts inner sole 30 which is made of a flexible, solid material and has a rear heel portion 62 and a front toe portion 64.
  • Outer sole 30 has an upper, foot engaging surface area 67 and a lower surface area 69.
  • Inner sole 30 is generally flat but does have a ridge surface 71 which rises up from upper foot engaging surface area 67 and lines rear heel portion 62. Ridge surface 71 permits inner sole 30 to remain permanently positioned when inner sole 30 is in shoe 10. Ridge surface 71 also provides an arch support area 73 and aligns a foot so that it will be properly positioned over inner sole 30.
  • Figure 3 depicts removable pad 40 which can be composed of any flexible natural or synthetic solid material such as, but not limited to, rubber or sponge.
  • Removable pad 40 has a superior inner sole engaging surface area 76 and an inferior outer sole engaging area 78.
  • Removable pad 40 has a posterior heel portion 81 and an anterior toe portion 83.
  • An attaching means 85 can be used on superior surface area 76 to cause removable pad 40 to be affixed to inner sole 30 in shoe 10.
  • Attaching means 85 can be comprised of, but is not limited to, a glue, an adhesive tape or a velcro strip which permits removal of inner sole 30 from removable pad 40.
  • a first attaching means 85A can be placed on superior surface area 76 of posterior heel portion 81 of removable pad 40 so that the removable pad 40 can be attached to rear heel portion 62 of lower surface area 69 of inner sole 30.
  • a second attaching means 85B can be placed on superior surface area 76 of anterior toe portion 83 of removable pad 40 so that removable pad 40 can be attached to front toe portion 64 of lower surface area 69 of inner sole 30.
  • first attaching means 85A is comprised of a circular piece of double sided adhesive tape 85C and second attaching means 85B is comprised of two rectangular pieces of double sided adhesive tape 85D and 85E.
  • Upper foot supporting area 52 of outer sole 20 is substantially equal in size to inferior outer sole engaging surface area 78 of removable pad 40.
  • Superior inner sole engaging surface area 76 of removable pad 40 is substantially equal in size to lower surface area 69 of inner sole 30.
