Abstract
A shoe insert, with a raised heel area, that creates a rigid inner sole that extends to a point just prior to the ball of the foot.
Description
- This application is a nonprovisional application claiming priority of provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 61/716,793 filed Oct. 20, 2012
- A shoe insert, with a raised heel area, that creates a rigid inner sole that extends to a point just prior to the ball of the foot.
- A popular trend in fitness is the inclusion of Olympic style weightlifting movements with other exercises.—ex. Cross Fit Training. These varying types of exercises each have a type of footwear specific to the type of exercise being performed—ex. running shoes, cross-trainers, weight lifting shoes. This invention allows users to add features typically associated with weight lifting shoes to various other types of footwear.
-
FIG. 1 is an illustrative side view of the rigid shoe insert with a raised heel, as in one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an illustrative top view of the rigid shoe insert with a raised heel, as in one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is an illustrative top view of the rigid shoe insert with a raised heel, as in another embodiment of the present invention. - The construction of the heel lift and rigid shank elements of the invention can be manufactured as a single component or assembled from multiple components as shown below. The preferred embodiment uses a raised heel portion made of a material that limits compression (1), a shank made of a rigid material (2), and an insole top cover (3). The existing shoe insole may also be used to replace (3).
- The scope of the invention contemplates:
-
- The invention being a fixed height or including a means of adjusting the height -such as but not limited to interchangeable raised heel sections (1) or removable layers of the raised heel (1).
- The heel (1) or shank (2) may be shaped to provide medial/lateral foot correction.
- The shoe insert may be shaped in the heel area to provide medial/lateral control by, but not limited to, contouring the shank (2) or by having the shank set in to a contoured raised heel (1).
- The shank (2) may be shaped to provide additional arch support or other corrections.
- The insole top cover (3) may be made of a material that conforms or molds to the foot.
Claims (8)
1. A shoe insert comprising:
a raised heel;
an insole extending from the heel, through the arch to the beginning of the forefoot and not extending under the forefoot to a front end, the insole being narrower at the arch than at the front end;
a rigid shank between the insole and raised heel; and
wherein the shoe insert is secure in an article of footwear, and the shoe insert is made of a rigid material.
2. The shoe insert of claim 1 , wherein the insert is made in one piece.
3. The shoe insert of claim 1 , wherein the percent rise from the front end to the raised heel is approximately 10 percent.
4. The shoe insert of claim 1 , wherein the rigid shank provides support to the mid section of the insert.
5. A shoe insert comprising:
a raised heel;
an insole extending from the heel, through the arch to the end of the forefoot to a front end, the insole being narrower at the arch than at the front end;
a rigid shank between the insole and raised heel; and
wherein the shoe insert is secure in an article of footwear, and the shoe insert is made of a rigid material.
6. The shoe insert of claim 5 , wherein the insert is made in one piece.
7. The shoe insert of claim 5 , wherein the percent rise from the front end to the raised heel is approximately 10 percent.
8. The shoe insert of claim 5 , wherein the rigid shank provides support to the mid section of the insert.
