2 Claims- (CL 36-14) This invention particularly relates to sporting shoes made of canvas, leather or any analogous whereby a flexible, light, durable and economic shoe is obtained.

The invention is described with reference to the figures of the annexed drawing, of which:

Fig. 1 is an outer side elevation of a shoe provided with the improvement forming the subject-matter of this invention, but without the protecting strap for the raw-rubber binding fastening the outer sole to the vamp.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical cross-section of same on line 2-2 of F18. 1.

Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. l, but showing the shoe provided with the protecting strap for the binding fastening the outer sole to the vamp.

Fig. 4 is afragmentary side elevation of the shoe having certain portions unglued and displayed to show the protecting strap for the binding fastening the outer sole to the vamp.

And Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical cross-section of the shoe on line 5--5 of Fig. 4.

The improved construction constituting the subject matter of this invention consists in providing the shoe, for instance a shoe the vamp 1 of which is made of canvas, leather or a like material and having its lower portion bent inwards,

with a sole 2 of raw rubber, a heel of the same material 3 in the form of a wedge or a superposed piece, although the heel can be omitted, and a binding 4 of raw rubber bent about the bent portion of the vamp and secured to the vamp 1 on one side and to the outer sole 2 and to the heel 3 on its other side, by means of a rubber solvent, such as gasoline or benzene, or by means of a glue made with either of said rubber solvents. The shoe is provided with an insole 5 ofrubber, leather or another material, which is glued to the sole and to the edging of the vamp 1.

By such construction a shoe is obtained which is impermeable at its base, very light, and also economic on account of the nature of the materials of which it is formed and of the low cost of manufacturing the same. r

Under certain conditions, in the use of the shoe, the binding 4 might become unglued fromthe vampll at its upper edge, either because of the grasping with the nails in an attempt to unfasten it, or else on account of friction with any other body and thereby the ruin of the shoe wouldcommence. This is avoided by protecting means shown in Figures 3 to 5, which consist in a protecting strap 6, preferably made of leather and turned over the upper edge of the binding 4 and held with its inner edge between the binding 4-and the vamp 1 to which it is secured by a seam '7 or otherwise and its outer edge abutting the upper edge of a raw rubber cover 8 which lays upwards from beneath the sole 2 and the heel 3. The binding 4 and the cover 8 are stuck one to the other and each to the sole 2 by means of cold benzene or a glue containing that solvent or any 7 other rubber solvent.

What I claim is: v

1. A shoe having a sole of raw rubber, a binding of the same material secured to the sole at one edge and to the vamp at the other edge, a protecting strap between the binding and the vamp and turned over the upper edge of the binding, and a cover of raw rubber laid from the outer edge of the protecting strap to beneath the sole.

2. A shoe having a sole of raw rubber, a binding of the same material secured to the sole at its inner-edge and-to the vamp at its outer edge, a leather protecting strap stitched. to the vamp between the binding and the vamp and turned over the upper edge of the binding to which it is secured by;a rubber solvent, and a raw-rubber ,covering abutting the outer edge of the protect-.
