BooTs-AND sHoEs.

UNITED STATES PATENT CJEEIGE(y JEFFREY VOSMUS, OF BROGKTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN BOOTS AND SHOES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,029, dated January 9, 1877 g application tiled November 13, 1876.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JEFFREY VOSMUS, of Brockton, of the county of Plymouth, ot' the State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shoes; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figures l and 2 are opposite side elevations of a shoe made in accordance with my invention.
rIhe shoe, usually termed a congress boot, has an elastic gore, a, in each side of the leg part A, the instep being closed.
In carrying out my invention, I combine with such a shoe two straps, b c, to extend upward from the two quarters,7 d d, directly over the upper portion ot' the closed instep. To one ot' these straps I tix a buckle, e, to receive the other strap, all being substantially as represented.
Furthermore, I extend from the upper across the middle of the instep, and up to the front, one of the two pulling-loops e f, a leather stay, E, which I firmly sew or fasten to the instep and leg part A of the shoe. This stay, by beingl crossed by the straps b c and their buckle will be so supported by them as to be prevented from being torn away from the instep, while the shoe may be in the act of being drawn on or oli' the foot of a person.
In pulling a common congress boot on the foot of a person, there is, particularly in case of it tting tightly at the instep, a great liability of tearing or ripping the shoe at or near the instep, and especially at the front seams ot' the elastic gores. By having the straps b c, and buckle and the stay E, arranged as described, the shoe may be very loose-fitting at the instep, so as to be easily drawn on the foot, the necessary tightness over the instep, in order to prevent rising of the foot at the heel, while the shoe may be in use, from taking place, being subsequently e'ected by means of such straps and buckle.
The straps and buckle, while the shoe is being drawn on the foot, also serve to support it across the instep, and thereby relieve such part from being torn from the quarters, or separated from the gores at their front seams. Furthermore, the straps and buckle give to the shoe, while its leg part is covered by the leg of the trowsers, the appearance ot' a lowcut shoe.
I therefore claim- As a new or improved manufacture, a shoe, Substantially as described, having the closed instep, the leg part A, the stay E, and its elastic gores a, and also having the straps b c extending from the quarters d d over the instep, and provided with a buckle, e, all being essentially as specified.
JEFFREY VOSMUS.
