Definitions

  • This invention relates to shoes and boots, hereinafter referred to as shoes, and is designed for the purpose of making the soles of the shoes of a shape which will be comfortable and will support the feet of the wearer in the best manner.
  • the present invention differs from such devices in thatit consists of a foot support of varying cross-sectional thickness Which either forms part of the inner sole of the shoe or of a shoe sock fashioned so as to provide an unbroken upper surface supporting equally the sole of the foot or at least the greater part thereof 2O causing the sock to present a surface corresponding closely to the undulations of the sole of the foot.
  • This support extends substantially the whole width of the shoe from the heel of the shoe to 25 the metatarsus and is constructed with clearances, holes or depressions to receive the heel and the ball of the big toe as well as that of the small toe or any one or two of these three parts.
  • the support is of substantially U shape in plan and made from one piece, but it may be of other shape and may be constructed from more than one piece Of material, said material being preferably non-metallic and of resilient nature such as could be made from sheet pressed paper, granulated cork, or some fibrous substances having a suitable binding agent and the variations in thickness can be obtained by pressing or by skiving the material after the support is cut from the sheet. If it is desired to increase the thickness of the support the sock of the shoe may be raised to give access to the upper face of the support or of the inner sole and additional pieces of the same or of other suitable material may be applied to the said face and secured by adhesive and the sock replaced.
  • the support may be curved in any desired directions and the two limbs of the U shape may be of distinctly'diierent widths, that limb which lies under the outer side of the foot being much narrower than the other limb and the adjoining edges of the limbs may be skived to extreme thinness and may if desired slightly overlap each other.
  • the support may be cast, if of rubber or some l the shoe sole I0 by adhesives or otherwise.
  • suitable plastic material and may be ailxed to,
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a shoe with device in sectional elevation
  • Fig. 2 shows an insole in a plan'view
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation
  • Figs. 4 to 6 are cross-sections taken onlines IV-IV, V-V, VI-VI of Fig. 2,
  • Figs. 7 and 8 are plan view and sectional-elevation of a second embodiment of my invention.
  • Figs. 9 to 11 are cross-sections taken On lines IX--IX, X-X and XI-XI of Fig. 7,
  • Figs. 12and 13 show a third example of the new device, Fig. 12 being a plan View and Fig. 13 a sectional elevation,
  • Figs. 14 to 16 are cross-sections on the lines XIV-MV, XV-XV and XVI- XVI of Fig. 14 respectively.
  • the foot supporting and correcting device shown in Figs. 1 to 6 is shaped to nt the sole of v the shoe in which itY is to be worn. It comprises a shank I such as is employed for strengthening the arched portion of a shoe between the heel and the tread portion.
  • This plate I may be made of springy or elastic material for instance of some k synthetic material of vulcanized bre, of wood or of some suitable metal. permanently incorporated into the shoe structure or it may be fixed between the innersole and the outersole of the shoe or'it may be inserted loosely in a shoe fitting therein to prevent a lengthwise or a transverse displacement.
  • the plate I not only strengthens the shank of the shoe but also forms a support or prop for the foot arch and extends to the heel section..
  • a pad 'I is arranged which is held by a cover 9 suitably fastened to the plate I or to The pad 'I supports heads of the anterior metatarsal arch.
  • the plate I is narrowed at 3 and 4 at this section to allow the rst and the fifth head to rest low in the shoe on the -innersole or even on the outersole while the other bones of this arch are supported by the insert 1.
  • the cut away portions 3, 4 allow the purchaser needing foot treatment the use of shoes of comparatively small size, the foot'nds suicient room even when the device is inserted in factory made shoes of his usual size.
  • the plate I may be wedges or cushions may be arranged.
  • a pad 2 runs along the marginal line of the plate I. 'Ihe inner side of the pad 2 is well skived, the pad 2 tapering to an edge gradually merging into the plate I to form a good bearing for the heel bone.
  • the skved inclined surfaces present an unbroken surface to the foot and eliminate any obstruction and any excessive pressure.
  • the seating of the heel section is lov'iwinlthe shoe.
  • the pad 2 may be of cork, rubber, leather, fibre, synthetic material, impregnated paper and so on.
  • the device shown in Figs. 7 to 11 differs from the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 6 in that several pads II, II', II" are removably arranged and fixed on the plate I by adhesives. Y -Each of the said pads may be removed singly and replaced by another one of different dimensions to suit the requirement. If any special part of the foot is desired to be relieved, one or more of the pads may be shifted laterally or longitudinally to the desired location or any pad may be replaced by another one of other shape and dimension or any other material, of softer or harder material to give the foot the required seating. 'I'he heel of the foot finds in any casea smooth seating at 5.
  • 'Ihe device illustrated in Figs. 12 to 16 differs from that shown in Figs. 7 to 11 in that only two pads I4, I4' are provided.
  • the pads I4, I4 are removably attached to the plate I or to the sole I or to both by adhesive.
  • 'I'he pads may be displaced and exchanged individually and they may be located in any desired position on the plate I.
  • the heel bone finds a snug rest at on the sole I0.
  • The-cover 9 may be of soft leather which is fastened only at some points ⁇ to the sole I0 to allow an easy access to the pads to eiect longitudinal or 'transverse adjustment of any or all of the pads, according to requirements.
  • the plate I may receive any curvature parts thereof may run askew to others and so on to suit the foot sole.
  • a shoe provided with afoot support shaped to fit from the heel to the ball the sole of the shoe in which it is to be worn, said support being of varying cross-sectional thickness, said foot support extending the full width of the shoe from the heel t0 the ball, said support being provided with a recess or clearance to receive the wearers heel, the variation in cross-sectional thickness being constructed to conform to the undulations of the sole of the foot of the wearer, said foot support being substantially U-shaped in plan view, and said support having that limb of the U which lies under the outer side of the foot much narrower than the other limb.
  • a shoe provided with a foot support shaped to fit from the heel to the ball the sole of the shoe in which it is to be worn, said support being of varying cross-sectional thickness and which ertends the full width of the shoe from the heel to the ball, said support being provided with recesses or clearances to receive the wearers heel, ball of the big toe, and ball of the little toe, the variation in cross-sectional thickness being constructed to conform to the undulations of the sole of the foot of the wearer, said foot support being substantially U-shaped in plan view, and said support having that limb of the U which lies under the outer side of the foot much narrower than the other limb.
  • a shoe having a foot support of iiexible nonmetallic material fixed under the sock and comprising two limb or armlike parts one for each side of the shoe and each of which is thinned on its inner edge to provide a lengthwise depression, and-a third part extending from the rear ends thereof to the heel and provided with a cut away portion to accommodate the heel bone.
  • a shoe having a foot support of exible nonmetallic material fixed under the sock and cornprising two limb or armlike parts one for-each side of the shoe and each of which is thinned on its inner edge to provide a lengthwise depression, and a third part extending from the rear ends thereof to the heel and provided with a cut away portion to accommodate the heelbone, said support including inserted bodies further to vary the thickness and produce an undulated upper surface.
