Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

While most footwear supports protects and keeps the foot warm, the Shoe With Snaps Buttons and Open Hole For Articles goes beyond what one would expect of the ordinary shoe. Tennis shoes have been more popular around the world for years.
Several years ago I questioned myself on what I can do to keep my feet warm when I wanted to and when I needed to feel the cool fresh air while I was still wearing my Tennis shoes. One day as I was about to step outside for shopping, it was hot and the heat was unbearable. As I went shopping, my feet were too warm and it was uncomfortable; especially with the socks. I decided to take off my socks outside the store and felt a little better but I noticed my feet started to sweat. When I arrived home, I took my scissor, made a hole on each shoe and felt wonderful having fresh air running thru my feet. I decided to keep the shoes in the house because I did not want anyone else to see the shoes except my partner who asked me why I cut the shoes. I replied, “I know why”.
Months went by I kept questioning myself what would happen if I wear the same tennis shoes in the winter. My answer was, my feet will get cold. I then began to search for the solution to close the holes of the shoes. As a designer, I started by making the top patent on a paper. It took me weeks to figure out the best way to make it work. The geographic shapes were my first drawings. I then cut the top and the bottom patent on a fabric forming two layers to make overlay. Next, I placed them on top of the tennis shoes. This way the shoe closes on both sides. One closes on top leaving a window open. The other closes at the bottom. This is how the invention of the Shoe With Snaps Buttons and Open Hole For Articles came alive.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Shoe With Snaps Buttons and Open Hole For Articles was invented to keep fresh air on the feet, the feet to breath better, and which may also help the nails not change their color after long periods of shoe wearing, and keep the feet warm. It is made of any tennis shoes materials; it is stylish and very pretty. It is a classic and elegant design. It has snaps closure, and unique and chic. The top doses on both sides. One doses on top and the other doses at the bottom.
The advantage of the invention is to help solve the problem of not having ample fresh air on the feet; it also can be wore in summer when it is hot and in the winter when it is cold. The shoe closes on both sides; basically, one shoe with two utilities styles. It has snaps button and a hole to open and close.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The Shoe With Snaps Buttons and Open Hole For Articles is used to help the feet breathe better, keep fresh air on the feet, and helps the toes nails not change color. It is used to have fresh air on the foot; keep the foot warm, wear in summer and winter, and closes on both sides making two utilities styles in one shoe.

- 1. HOW IT IS MADE: The die machines will stamp the shapes of the shoes. These will then be cut out in a cooking cutter way with different markings as a guide for the remaining aspects of the assembly. Once everything has been labeled and bundled, the pieces will then be sent to a different area in the factory where they will be stitched.

Assembly of the Insole and the Upper:
The pieces that will make up shoe's upper part will be cemented or stitched together.
1. A—Overlap: the 2 pieces together making sure that the piece with the round cut covers the piece with the round cut. B—Assemble: Starting by stitching from the edge to the end of the seam. Do the same for the other side. C—Assemble: By stitching parallel to the seam and stop at the corner. Do the same for the other side. D—Fold: The 2 pieces together so that the piece with the cut out is under the piece with the rounding. The rounding must be over. E—Stitch at 0.5 from the edge: From where you left off i.e. at the corner. Follow the rounding to reach the other seam. F—Place: The 2 pieces as you started, that is face to face, flat. G—Stitch at 1 cm: All along seam. Do the same on the other side.

- 2. The holes for the lace will be punched out as well. The said pieces include the tongue, the vamp, the feather line, reinforcements like the arch bandage or saddle, the throat with lacing section and eye stay, the mudguard, the foxing, the collar with the protector for Achilles tendon, and the logo. This is the stage of the process when the upper resembles a round hat instead of a shoe because of the additional material known as the lasting margin. This will then be folded below the shoe once it is cemented to the sole.
- 3. The insole will be stitched to the upper's sides. Stiffening agents will be added to the toe box and the heel region. The insole board will also be inserted.

Attachments of the Bottom and Upper Parts:

- 4. Upon completion of the upper, this will be fitted and heated around a last or the plastic mold forming the shoe's final shape. The automatic lasting machine will pull down the upper over the last. A cement nozzle will be used for the application of cement under the insole board and upper. The machine will bond the two pieces together through pressing them. The upper will now take on the exact and expected shape of the completed shoe.
- 5. The cutout and pre-stamped forms of the wedge or outsole and the middle will be cemented and layered to the upper. The midsole and outsole are bonded and aligned together. The midsole and outsole will be aligned with the upper then placed over the heater for reactivation of the cement. Once the cement has cooled down, the bottom and upper will then be joined.
- 6. The shoe will then be taken out of the last and checked closely. The excess cement will also be scraped off.
