3 Claims.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in shoes, and the invention has for its primary object to provide a perforated Ventilating lining for the sides and back of the Y shoe and also to provide a perforated Ventilating arch member connected to the lining and in which the lower edge of the arch is lasted under the inner sole of the shoe.

A further object is to provide a shoe lining having its upper edges terminating coextensively with the upper edges of the side walls of the shoe whereby to eliminate the use of facing stays r bands on the inner surface of the lining along the upper edges and front edges of the shoe upper.

Another object is to provide a shoe lining construction which promotes economy in the manufacture of the shoe without sacrificing any of the comforts thereof and which at the same time improves the appearance of the shoe.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional View taken substantially on a line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail showing the perforated Ventilating arch support secured to the front and rear lining sections.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the blank forming the perforated Ventilating lining, and

Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken substantially on a line 5-5 of Figure 1.

Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein for the purpose of illustration We have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates the shoe sole while the numeral 6 designates the shoe upper and the numeral 'l designates the toe portion of the shoe, the shoe upper and toe portion being secured at their lower edges to the shoe sole by the stitching 8 in the usual manner. The tongue 9 of the shoe has one end secured between the outer toe portion l and the lining I0 provided for the toe portion of the shoe, the front lining I0 being constructed of suitable cloth.

Secured to the inner surface of the shoe upper 6 is a soft leather lining Il having its upper edges and front edge coextensive with the upper edges and front edge of the shoe upper and secured thereto by the stitching l2.

The lower edges of the lining li are turned inwardly as shown at I3 and are secured under the insole i4. The side and rear walls of the lining Il are free from the outer Walls of the shoe and are provided with perforations l5 which extend substantially throughout the entire areav of the lining Il. Adjacent the front edge of the lining Il and the shoe upper are positioned the eyelets I6 to receive the lacingof the shoe.

A semi-circular arch-supporting member l1 is arranged in the shoe for engagement by the inside portion of the foot of the wearer, the archsupporting member being likewise constructed of soft leather and is perforated as shown at I8. The curved edge of the arch-supporting member extends upwardly along the inside of the'linngs l0 and Il and is secured in position thereto by the stitching i9. The lower straight edge of the arch-supporting member is lasted under the insole I4 and is secured thereto as shown in Figure 5 of the drawings.

As more clearly illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings, the arch-supporting member I1 has its front portion secured to the front inner lining I0 while the rear portion of the arch-supporting member is secured in overlapping relation to the perforated lining member Il.

Preferably the lining H and arch support I1 should be made of soft leather, but it will be4 understood any suitable material may be employed.

It is believed the details of construction and manner of use of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing withoutfurther detailed explanation.

Having thus described the invention what we claim is:

1. A shoe comprising an upper, an outer sole and an insole, and a perforated leather lining for the rear portion of the shoe, said perforated lining extending continuously across the backk and along each side of the upper, the upper edge and front edges of the upper and perforated lining being coextensive and stitched together close to the marginal edges thereof, said upper and perforated lining also being secured to the sole, the central portion of the perforated lining being free, and a flat perforated segment of flexible material secured to the lining in the region of the arch of the shoe to provide an arch support, said perforated lining and said segment having their lower edges lasted under the insole of the shoe.

2. A shoe comprising an upper and a sole, a

cloth lining for the toe portion of the shoe, and a. perforated leather lining for the rear portion of the shoe and connected to the cloth lining, said perforated lining extending continuously across the back and along each side of the upper, the upper edge and front edges of the upper and perforated lining being coextensive and stitched together close to the marginal edges thereof, said perforated lining being lasted under the insole of the shoe, the central portion of the perforated lining being free, and a flat perforated leather segment overlapping the connected edges of the cloth and perforated linings and secured thereto at the side of the shoe engaged by the inside of the foot to form an arch support.

3. A shoe comprising an upper and a sole, a cloth lining for the toe portion of the shoe,

and a perforated leather lining for the rear portion of the shoe and connected to the cloth lining, said perforated lining extending continuously across the back and along each side of the upper, the upper e'dge and front edges oi the upper and perforated lining being coextensive and stitched together close to the marginal edges thereof, the central portion of the perforated lining being free,

' and a flat perforated leather segment overlapping the connected edges of the cloth and perforated linings and secured thereto at the side of the shoe engaged by the inside of the foot to form an arch support, said perforated lining and said disk segment having their lower edges lasted under the insole of the shoe.
