present invention comprises elastic bodies 4 ofsoftl rubber or 'equivalent material having upwardly extended tongues. These bodies 4 are secured between the counter 2 and the 'lining so that their conveXed inner surfaces causethe lining to form similarly conveXed extendedpportions 6 arranged in such relationship' that they extend into the cavities at the, sides of the tendons below andrearwardly' thealikle joint and above the sole of the 'heel'.ofjthe footfofther wearer. These bodies are preferably adhesively secured to the lin- 'ing 3, properlocationbeing assured by providing defined pointsupon the lining to guide l'and direct the operator in applying the bodies 'li'thereto'v In the c'sonstruction and arrangement yshown I have'provided notches 7 in the lupper edges of the'lining 3, which notches 7 lconstitute defined ."parts' or points across lvvhichthe' tongues' are located withthe the upper edgepf the'lining. `FVhen the with theupper edges of the lining the bodies Lfare essentially'and'unvaryingly located in As stated, these bodies 4 and their tongues lmayybe and preferably are secured tothe lining 3 by some adhesive substance so that they will not become displaced during further work in the construction of the shoe. After the bodies 4 have beenthus located the upper edge of the lining 1 is secured to the upper edge of the outer portion of the shoe upper by a row of stitches 8 y'running near and parallel with the upperedges of said parts and crossing the tongues 5.

The distance transversely between the surfaces 6 is considerably less than the distance,

ing below and about said surfaces 6 so that the broad portion of ther heel of the foot of the wearer comes below the surfaces 6 which fit within the cavities above the broad heel f l portions of the foot. Since the bodies 4 are of soft rubber or equivalent material they will not cause discomfort but will hold the lshoe more perfectly fitted on the foot and prevent .the rShoe from slipping from the foot of the by the present invention I am enabled to wearer or the foot of the wearer from slipping from the shoe. 1

I have found by practical experience that locate the parts more rapidly and accurately and lto make the `shoes withgreater rapidity and at lowerV cost. Thus, I obtain inany desirable advantages. K l

The construction and arrangement may be varied within equivalent limits withoutk de# parture from the-nature and principlev of thev invention.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let# 1 f ters Patent is 1. A shoe comprising" a slioe'lininigV having a A( leiined point therein, anjelastio body attacked t0- ,the vOum-r side ofA the lining' in a lining having its upper edgel secured to the shoe upper vand having( deinedY lpoints' Von its y outer side, elastic bodies having convex; infiinedjpoiints, tongues on said bodies e'xtend- I definite relationship to said dnd point, a Ys'hjo'e upper having its upper edge secured to thelinin'g', and a 4counter secured between the upper and the lining at the heel portion 4of the shoe and at the outer side of said body.

"2., AA shoe l'comprising a shoe upper, a

nersurfaces attached to the outer side of said lining in a definite relationship to said deing" across said d'ened points, and a counter secured betweenthe shoe upperand the lining against the outer sides` of'slvaid bodies.

3,. vA shoe comprising rarfesholje upper,- a

:counter secured within 4the upper at the. heel v portion of the shoe, ay lining secured tothe I.

inside of theshoe, a pairy of `spaced elastic bodies secured to said 1ining, tongues on said lbodies,.and stitches securing the lining and* V the shoeupper together and ,attaching said "tongues to said lining and said upper. i'
