Fig. l, illustrates, in side elevatitm, a conventional welt shoe ot the onl'ord type, wherein the upper il has joined to it a welt 2. A fiber or rubbeil sole member i5, to whirh is secured a midsole l ot thin crepe rubber. is then attached to a leather sole member 5 of an areato extend over the shank and heel seat oi the shoe. The rubber or liber solo Zi and midsole fl ot crepe rubber are joined in any suitable manner, by solvents. nements or the-like, and each secured to the leather sole portion 5 in a scart' ti, provided therefor. in any suitable manner. preferably by stitehine` 7, and reinforced by cement. As .illustrated in Figs; l and 2. the fiber sole member f ie joined to the leatherportion by two rows ot stitching, while but one row of stitching ein gages the thin crepe midsole, iVith this composite. sole secured to the shoe, au outsole S, preferably of crepe rubber, is their joined to the midsole Ll in the usual manner, preferably by coating the contartiniin surfaces oit the soles Li andS with a suitable solvent. such as bcnzol, and assembling the two soles together, preferably under pressure, until the outsole S has uniiied with the midsole 4 in a tirm, homogeneous .manner` forming a iieatitti'imtive, tirm, strong and etlieient shoe structure, and one of `great wear-resisting capacity. it conventional heel 9 is illustrated in Fig. l` which may be oi rubber, leather or the like. As shown in Fig. l the jointure of the leather and rubber sole members con'ies substantially at the arch of the shoe, away vfrom the flexing' or bending ot' the solo in walking, and being; thus relieved of any liability ol breaking; away caused by such strains.
Fie'. 3 illustrates. in c1osasection, the method o't attaelnnent of my novel sole to a shoe ot' the welt type, wherein the upper 1, welt 2. and insole it) are united by inseam stitehiire,r ll. To the welt 2 is then attached the composite fibel' sole and midsole 4l; by welt stitchingr l2. The outsole 8 is also illustrated iu position to he attached to the midsole Llin any suitable nimmer, prefer ably by being unified therewith by routine' the two contact-ing surl'aces ,i3 aud il with a suitable solvent, and assemlfiling.;` the same, preferably under pressure.
Fiend illustrates the method oli attachment to a McKay shoe, `wherein the upper 15, insole 'lti and composite sole 8 and et, are all united by through and through stitching; 1T, the outsole S beingr shown in position tor attachment similar to the meth od described in Fig. 3. The advantages ot thus having the stitching holding the coni bined sole 3 and midsole Ll, concealed under the outsole 8, and therefore not subjected to wear, will bc readily appreciated.
inmensa Fig. 5 is a cross-seethmal detail illustrate ine; the method of joiningot the composite sole, wherein the leather sole member :i is scarl'ed as illustrated at the fiber sole member Zi and midsole ft `inserted inthis scart and secured thereto by stitchingy T. 'l`hc sole members and scarl? laccs may also he cemented together. in addition to the stitching, it desired. lhc outsole Si is then applied, a'lter thecomposite solo above dcscribed has been aflixed to the shoe, and ad hcred thereto, the. shank end oli this outer sole t.; abutting against a shoulder 18 on the leather sole membr 5, to l'orm an even, close fit. and j'nesentiu'gy a tlush surface throughout the entire lemijth of: the sole.
l believe that a, shoe thus formed by my novel method is new, and l claim the same herein broadly. i j j l, also believe that my novel composite sole is new, and I claim this `herein aswell.
The importance aud advantages of the shoe construction, and novel composite sole as above described, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The advanta` genus features of composite soles, with the strength and rigidity of a leather port-ion in the heel and shank portions, and the resiliency and flexibility of the crepe rubber on the tread surface, are of great importance in this art,\and I believeare novel and will appeal, not only to theitrade, but to the purchasingr public as well, who Will realize the benefits and advantages of such shoe con struetions. j t
My invention is further described and delined in the form otcla-iins as follows.
l; A composite sole, comprising a leather shank and heel portion, ajforepart composed ot a layer ot rubber or rubber composition to which is adhered a midsole of crepe rubber, there being an inter-engaging tralisverse joint between the leather sole portion and both said rubber layers in a nontlexinpr part oli the arch or sha nir, and a crepe rubber outsole unilied with said crepe rubber lriidsole.

e o. The improved process of making boots and shoes, which consists in first assembling an insole and upper materials on a last,` lastinr the shoe, then applying a composite Sole to said shoe, said composite sole comprising llt.)
a leather shank and heel portion, a orepart ing a crepe rubber outsole to said crepe rub- 10 composed ot' a layer of rubber or rubber ber midsole toform a homogeneous unified composition to which is adhered a midsole of outsolel and concealing the stitching in the Crepe rubber, there being an interengaging midsole, attaching a heel, removing the last transverse joint between the leather sole porand completing the shoe.
