, Yet a further object of .this invention is ,to vide a strong, rugged and durable sole of the character described. which shall be relatively inexpensive to manufacture, which mayv be used with a wide variety of shoes or slippers, and which shall be practical and efficient to a high de ree in use. I

Other objects of this invention-will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

The invention accordingly consists in the featuresof construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.

The same is wound around the outer edge of the layer H andthen continuously inwardly until the heel portion or rear of said layer 1 is completely covered, leaving a central opening 2'8 at the ball of the sole which is uncovered by cord n. 'The cord H is attached to the layer H by means of stitchin 2% which runs lengthwise of the :cord, 'the'stitching extending through the cordand through the platform; The

The combined thickness of the filler or covering member 21 is preferably substantially equal to the thickness of the cord [1.

the outer convolution of the cord l1 overhes a portion of the binding I2.

It will thus be seenthat there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved, and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.
