  • Insoles for shoes which have been used so far have, for instance, the surface made of nonwoven cloth, and focus only on the functionality including heat retention, deodorizing and cushioning, and therefore the color of the surface thereof is not colorful and rather plain with the same color as that inside the shoes (in many cases, solid color such as black and beige).
  • the insoles which have been used so far are just for improving the functionality of shoes, and are not something fashionable.
  • it is not impossible to design the surface of the insole body with printing there has been the problem that, as the surface of the insole body is made of nonwoven cloth, fine printing cannot be made on the surface of such nonwoven cloth.
  • An object of the present invention is, in the light of the problems as described above, to provide insoles for shoes with which a user can find his or her own pair of shoes at a glance and give the feeling of pleasure when the user wears the same.
  • the insoles for shoes according to the present invention are characterized in that the insoles have an insole body with the surface thereof made of paper or nonwoven cloth respectively, and also in that a transparent or semitransparent synthetic resin sheet carrying designs such as pictures and characters on a rear surface thereof is adhered to a top surface of the insole body. Further, in order to achieve the object described above, the insoles according to the present invention are characterized in that the insoles have an insole body with the surface thereof made of paper or nonwoven cloth respectively, and also in that the surface of this insole body carries designs such as pictures and characters thereon and a transparent or semitransparent synthetic resin sheet is adhered over the designs.
  • the insoles according to the present invention are characterized in that a transparent or semitransparent synthetic resin sheet carrying designs such as pictures and characters thereon is adhered onto a surface of the insole body, and also in that an adhesive surface is provided on a rear surface of the insole body and a separable sheet is adhered over the adhesive sheet.

  • the colorful design is provided by multiple color printing.
  • a number of through-holes 11 are perforated on the transparent film 8 to ensure proper air flow, so that damp of sweat from the sole of foot or the like pass through from the surface of the film via the through-holes 11 to the rear surface of the film, and is easily absorbed into the nonwoven cloth 7 .
  • the through-holes 11 are, as shown in the figure, perforated on the entire film with a regular arrangement, but the through-holes 11 may not necessarily be provided on the entire film, and the configuration is allowable in which the through-holes 11 are provided in any proper places thereon where damping easily occurs.

  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show another embodiment. This embodiment is especially suited for the use in sandals.
  • the insole 21 for a high-heeled sandal 20 has, as apparently shown in FIG. 6, a shape smaller than that of a surface portion for putting a foot thereon when seen two-dimensionally. Namely, a heel section and a tiptoe section are slightly wide, while the intermediate section between the heel section and the tiptoe section is narrow.
  • the reference numeral 22 indicates an insole body, and the insole body 22 comprises, as shown in FIG. 5 showing a cross section thereof, from bottom to top, a separable sheet 23 , an adhesive sheet 24 , and a transparent resin sheet 26 as a synthetic resin sheet, each being laminated and adhered one above the other.
  • the insole body 22 comprising these laminated bodies has the total thickness of about 1.2 mm.
  • the transparent resin sheet 26 is made of the same material as that for the transparent film 8 described above, and on the rear surface of the transparent resin sheet 26 is color-printed designs such as pictures and characters.
  • the reference numeral 29 indicates a printed surface thereof. Designs on the printed surface 29 are colored ones, as shown in FIG. 4, with its entire surface having colorful circles and other curved lines printed with a plurality of colors, but the designs are not necessarily required to have a plurality of colors, and that with one color is allowable.

  • the adhesive sheet 24 of the insole body 22 after being detached from the separable sheet 23 is adhered onto the surface portion for putting a foot thereon of a sandal 20 as shown in the figure.
  • the printed surface 29 with colorful designs having various colors can be made on the rear surface of the transparent resin sheet 26 adhered to the insole body 22 , which makes the insole further fashionable.
  • the insoles according to this embodiment are adhered onto the surface of the sandals with the adhesive sheet 24 , so that the insoles 1 themselves will not be slippery and the user can walk comfortably wearing the pair of sandals, and moreover, after a pair of sandals 20 are put for a considerably long period of time with its brand-name tag on the heel section of the inner sole fading, or with the inner sole having stains, the insoles according to this embodiment can be adhered over the corresponding portion to cover the same to show his or her good taste in fashion with a new fashionable design thereon.
  • the embodiment described above illustrates only a preferred example, and it is needless to say that the configuration is allowable in which the insole according to the present invention has, for instance, a shape corresponding to the heel portion or the tiptoe portion of a sandal, and consists of only the heel portion or only the tiptoe portion.
