Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/272,127, filed Aug. 20, 2009.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to shoes, moccasins, and similar footwear, and particularly to an article of footwear with decorative tongue having gemstones covering an exposed surface of the tongue.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Many people believe that crystals and gemstones hold certain beneficial properties. Crystal healing is an alternative medicine technique that employs gemstones and crystals as healing tools. In use, the practitioner typically places crystals on different parts of the body, often corresponding to the “chakras”, or places crystals around the body in an attempt to construct an energy grid, which is believed to surround the client with healing energy. The healing is supposed to remove blockages in the aura or the body's electromagnetic field.
- When the stones are placed in the area of the chakras, the color of the stones may correspond to the color which is associated with the corresponding chakra. Going from the tail bone to the top of the head, the colors are typically defined as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Different stones are believed to have different healing vibrations, so a treatment based on the type of stone may be used instead. Stones may also be used at the feet in an attempt at grounding the individual, or may held in the hands.
- Believers in crystal healing may carry crystals around with them, believing that they impart healing powers to them wherever they go, or that they have positive vibrations that attract positive events and interactions with others. Although there is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence that crystal healing has any actual physiological effect, believers in crystal healing may still receive a placebo effect, which is a measurable psychological effect.
- Reflexology, or “zone therapy” is another alternative medicine method involving the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health. There is no general consensus among reflexologists on how reflexology is supposed to work, though a unifying theme is the idea that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health through one's “qi”. As with crystal healing, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of Life energy (qi), “crystalline structures” within the body, or “pathways” for “energy flow” in the body, but believers may experience a placebo effect, which is a measurable psychological effect, with practical and measurable results, such as pain relief and mood alteration.
- Reflexology and crystal, or gemstone, healing are separate fields in alternative medicine and one typically needs to visit multiple practitioners in order to gain benefits from both. Further, both reflexology treatment and crystal healing are time consuming and require specialized treatments by trained practitioners. It would be desirable to combine the effects of both crystal healing with the effects of reflexology in a manner that is easy to apply for the typical user. Thus, footwear with a decorative tongue solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The present invention relates to shoes, moccasins, and similar footwear, and particularly to an article of footwear with decorative tongue having gemstones covering an exposed surface of the tongue. It should be understood that the article of footwear may be any type of footwear, such as a shoe or the like having a sole and an upper attached thereto. Examples of such footwear include in-line skates, roller skates, ice skates, ski boots, boots, shoes, sneakers, etc. The upper of such articles of footwear includes a tongue having a decorative surface. A plurality of gemstones, crystals, artificial gemstones or an artificial appliqué is secured to an exposed surface of the tongue. It should be understood that any desired types of gemstones or other ornamentation may be used, including variations in size, shape, color and chemical composition. Further, the term “gemstones” is used herein to indicate either natural or artificial stones.
- Alternatively, a conventional tongue and a separate decorative attachment may be provided. The decorative attachment has opposed first and second faces. A plurality of gemstones are attached to the first face of the decorative attachment. The second face is releasably attached to an exterior face of the tongue by a suitable releasable fastener, such as mating hook and loop fasteners.
- These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of footwear with decorative tongue according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the footwear ofFIG. 1 . -

Examples of such footwear include in-line skates, roller skates, ice skates, ski boots, boots, shoes, sneakers, etc. Similarly, theparticular tongue 14 shown in the drawings is exemplary only, and a shoe tongue having any desired dimensions, configuration, or composition may be used in lieu thereof, provided that at least a portion of thetongue 14 is exposed to view when the footwear is worn. - The article of
footwear 10 is a shoe, moccasin, or the like having a sole 12 and an upper 16 attached thereto (the front part of the “upper” of a shoe, including the tongue, is also sometimes referred to as a “vamp”). In theshoe 10 shown in the drawings, the upper 16 includes atongue 14 having a plurality ofgemstones 20 attached to an exposed surface thereof. As best shown inFIG. 1 , at least a portion oftongue 14 may be visible throughshoelaces 18, and the visible portion oftongue 14, located beneathshoelaces 18, is preferably also covered withgemstones 20. It should be understood that a single type of gemstone may be displayed, or a plurality of types of gemstones may be used. - The
gemstones 20 may be arranged in bands or in any desired pattern. Each type of gemstone may have a distinct color. The differently coloredgemstones 20 may be banded to produce a distinctive visual effect, if desired. Alternatively, thegemstones 20 may be evenly distributed over the upper surface of base layer 22 (as best shown inFIG. 3 ), or may be arrayed in any desired pattern, depending upon the design effect desired, including either or both the visual effect and the desired crystal healing benefits. Although gemstones are utilized in the preferred embodiment, it should be understood that any suitable type of decorative articles may be applied to the tongue. Such decorative articles may include natural gemstones, crystals, artificial gemstones or an artificial appliqué, for example. InFIG. 5 , a plurality ofgemstones 20 are used, with theplurality 20 including two differing types ofgemstones Gemstones 21 are visually distinct fromgemstones 23, thus allowing for an additional visual effect. It should be understood that the “arrow” shown inFIG. 5 is shown for exemplary purposes only, and that any desired visual effect may be created. - Any desired type of gemstone(s) may be used, including variations in size, shape, color, and chemical composition. Further, the term “gemstone(s)” is used herein to indicate either natural or artificial stones. For example, practitioners of crystal healing believe that green aventurine gemstones induce feelings of vitality and confidence in the user. Amethyst, a type of purple quartz, is believed to induce a feeling of calm, and to raise hope and lift the general spirits of the user. Citrine is believed provide mental clarity and foster creativity, whereas amethyst is believed to provide protection and purification. Chalcedony is believed to provide the wearer with calm and balance, and copper is believed to improve circulation and overall energy. Tiger's eye, as another example, is believed to provide balance between extremes, and Swarovski crystal is believed to provide healing properties.
- As noted above, a single type of gemstone may be used to impart one quality (or to produce one visual effect), or a plurality of types may be used to impart multiple qualities (or produce varied visual effects). In the alternative embodiment of
FIG. 4 , aconventional tongue 30 and adecorative attachment 36 are provided for an article of footwear. Thedecorative attachment 36 is a sheet of material having opposed first and second faces.
