Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/660,411, entitled “REDUCED SKIN ABRASION SHOE”, filed on Sep. 10, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,331,127, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to shoes and, more particularly, to a sport shoe with reduced foot abrasion.
- 2. Description of the Relevant Art
- Shoes have been specialized and improved for years. Currently, shoe manufacturers and designers provide specialized shoes for many activities, such as, for example, running shoes, tennis shoes, cycling shoes, walking shoes, cross-trainers, and the like. These shoes can be designed to respond to particular pressures and hot spots for the assumed usage.
- The design of the shoe, however, has only come so far. Many shoes also include inserts, liners, padding, environmental protection, and the like. Many of these designs reduce moisture and heat generated by the foot within the shoe. Reducing the moisture and heat provides some reduction in foot or skin abrasion against the shoe, which in turn reduces blistering and the like. For example, liners are typically made out of a breathable material. Inserts may include moisture absorbing or wicking properties.
- Despite the above and other improvements to shoe designs, many users experience blistering or other irritation on their feet when performing more strenuous activities than, for example, walking. In particular, internal seams where a shoe tongue and external patches are connected to the shoe provide irritants. Thus, it would be desirous to develop an improved shoe to reduce skin abrasion.
- To attain the advantages and in accordance with the present invention, a reduced abrasion shoe is provided. The shoe comprises a sole and an upper forming an interior foot portion and an exterior portion. The upper of the shoe includes a toe box, a throat, and a heel. A tongue is coupled to the upper such that the seam resides on the exterior surface of the toe box. The tongue also includes the transition being where the tongue transitions from the exterior surface to the interior cavity.
- Another embodiment of the present invention provides a reduced abrasion shoe having a sole and an upper coupled to the sole. The upper and the sole form an exterior surface and an interior cavity. The upper includes a toe box, a throat, and a heel along with a tongue traversing the throat area. A liner between the upper and the interior cavity is coupled to the upper about the mid-point of the shoe.
- Still another embodiment of the present invention provides a reduced abrasion shoe having a sole and an upper coupled to the sole. The upper and the sole form an exterior surface and an interior cavity. The upper includes along with a tongue that that traverses the throat. At least one patch is coupled to the exterior surface using a weld.
- The foregoing and other features, utilities and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- Other aspects, features and details of the present invention can be more completely understood by reference to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the drawings and from the appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a top side elevation of a shoe constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-section view of a shoe constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 3 is rear elevation view of a shoe constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. - The present invention will be described with reference to
FIGS. 1-3 . While the present invention is shown and described with regard to a running shoe, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize on reading the disclosure that alternative shoes styles could use the invention described herein, and the use of a running shoe is exemplary and non-limiting. Other styles of shoes that would benefit from the present invention include, without limitation, cycling shoes, sport cleats, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, and walking shoes -
FIG. 1 shows a top elevation view of a runningshoe 100. Runningshoe 100 includes a sole 102 and an upper 104. Sole 102 and upper 104 form aninternal cavity 106 to accept a user's foot and anexternal portion 108. Upper 104 has athroat 110. Atongue 112 traversesthroat 110 and is attached to upper 104 by aseam 114 at atoe box portion 116 ofshoe 100. Seam 114 could be any conventional seam or connection, such as, for example, a stitch, a heat fusion seam, or the like. - Upper 104, typically, has two
symmetrical boarders 118 outliningthroat 110.Loops 120 are conventionally connected toboarders 118. One ormore laces 122 traversethroat 110 by threading throughloops 120 in a zigzag pattern.Loops 110 andlaces 122 could be replaced by other conventional tightening devices, such as strips of hook and loop material, such as, VELCRO®. - As can be seen in
FIG. 1 ,seam 114 resides onexternal portion 108 ofshoe 100. Thus, upper 104 is betweenseam 114 and the foot of a user. Becauseseam 114 is separated from the foot, skin abrasion or friction is reduced. The reduction in abrasion and/or friction reduces irritation.Seam 114 ends at atransition portion 124. As seen,tongue 112 is attached onexternal portion 108 abouttoe box 116, buttongue 112 resides in theinternal cavity 106 belowsymmetrical boarders 118, which allowslaces 122 to reside inexternal portion 108. Thus,transition portion 124guides tongue 112 from being inexternal portion 108 tointernal portion 106. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , anothershoe 200 consistent with the present invention is shown.Shoe 200 comprises a sole 202 and an upper 204.Upper 204 has aninterior side 206 and an exterior side 208 (not specifically labeled in the figure).Sole 202 andinterior side 206 define acavity 210 to accept a user's foot. Aliner 212 resides betweeninterior side 206 and the user's foot.Liner 212 is attached tointerior side 206 about the instep, midsole, or mid-point of the shoe by aseam 214. In this case,seam 214 is a conventional stitch, but could be a heat welded seam or the like. As can be seen,liner 212 lines theentire cavity 210. Lining the entire cavity with the protective layer reduces skin abrasion. Also, providingseam 214 about the foot arch or instep of the shoe additionally reduces friction, in part because of the lower pressures those portions of the foot are subject to and, in part, because less of the foot is exposed to the seam.Liner 212 could be any number of low friction materials, such as, for example, a mesh liner. Further,liner 212 could be loaded with moisture wicking or absorbingmaterials 216 to further reduce skin abrasion. -
FIG. 3 shows a rear elevation view of ashoe 300.Shoe 300 includes a sole 302 and an upper 304.Upper 304 includes atoe box 306, athroat 308, and aheel 310. Apatch 312 is coupled toshoe 300 aboutheel 310.Patch 312 provides upper 304 protection from the environment, such as, for example, scuffing the shoe.Patch 312 could be located in one or more places on the shoe. For example, many shoes have patches onheel 310 andtoe box 306.Patch 312 could comprise leather, synthetic leather, rubber, or other composites as desired. - As mentioned in the background of the invention, conventional methods to
couple patch 312 to upper 304 use a stitch. The stitch, however, causes a corresponding seam on in aninterior portion 314 ofshoe 300. In order to remove the seam oninterior portion 314 ofshoe 300,patch 312 is welded to upper 304 alongweld line 316. By weldingpatch 312 to upper 304, an irritant, namely the interior seam, is removed. Removing the irritant reduces skin abrasion and friction. - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to an embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various other changes in the form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
