2 Claims.
The present invention is designed to improve shoes so that they may more readily and efficiently afford relief with relation to arch troubles of the wearers. In carrying out the inven tion a convenient manner of building up the bottom of the shoe to afford support and relief to the arches is contemplated. In addition to this the ordinary lacing slit of the shoe upper is so designed that a greater support is afforded to the arch than with shoes heretofore made. Features and details of the invention will appear from the specification and claims.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing as follows:
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the shoe.
Fig. 2 a plan view of the shoe with the lacing closed.
Fig. 3 a similar view with the shoe uppers open to better show construction.
Fig. 4 a section on the line 4-4 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 a section on the line 5--5 in Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 a section similar to Fig. 4 with the arch supporting pad in place. i
Fig. 7 a plan View of a sole showing a modification.
The shoe is provided with the ordinary sole 1. It has an upper provided with a cut-01f vamp 2, that is, a vamp that extends only partly to the rear of the shoe. It also has quarters 3. One of the quarters extends over the instep and the quarters at their meeting edges form a lacing slit 3a united by a lacing 4. The front edges of the quarters overlap and are free from the vamp so that a more definite closure may be effected and the quarters may be more readily opened. The shank is provided with a reenforcement 5 and an insole 6. The insole is preferably secured as by cementing, or otherwise, with the sole proper, but a portion of the insole is not attached at I and, therefore, forms a pocket open-' ing along the edge 8 between the insole and the sole proper. The opening of the pocket is ordinarily on the inside of the shoe and toward the quarter which has the extension over the instep so that the filling for the inner longitudinal arch is on the same side as the quarter having the extension over the instep and this extension better supports the parts.
A pad 9 given the proper thickness and consistency to relieve the arch is inserted into the pocket, the manner of insertion being indicated in Figs. 3 and 5 and the position of the completed inserted pad being indicated in Fig. 6.
With this construction, the lift of the pad'may be readily controlled, new pads added as the corrective condition progresses, the ease with 5 which the pads may be inserted and replaced making it possible to readily provide the right. pads to accommodate the condition of the foot. In. the pocket shown in Fig. 3 the pad is of a size to correct the inner longitudinal arch. The 10 pocket may be continued toward the front of the shoe, as indicated at H] in dotted lines in Fig. 7. Under these conditions, the pad may be adjusted to relieve the metatarsal arch. I
The lacing slit 8 extends from a point adjacent to the sole and runs out the top of the upper, preferably adjacent to the front center. The usual tongue 2a is provided to close the slit and also to give freedom to the flap of the upper.
With this construction the lacing operates to 6 draw up the inner part of the foot and thus resists more definitely the yielding of the foot in an effort to relieve the condition toward the inside. With this position of the slit and the flap extending from the instep it is possible to strengthen the shoe to counteract against this action.
What I claim as new is:-
1. A shoe comprising a sole and an upper in-[ cluding a cut-off vamp and quarters, the quarters overlapping the vamp and having their front edges free from the vamp to a point adjacent the sole, one of the quarters extending over the instep and forming with the other quarter a slit extending from adjacent to the sole diagonally to a 5 point over the instep adjacent the center of the, shoe.
2. A shoe comprising a sole, an upper including a vamp and quarters, the quarters overlap- I ping the vamp and having their front edges de- 0 tached from the vamp to a point adjacent the sole, one of the quarters extending over the instep and forming with the other quarter a slit extending from adjacent to the sole diagonally to a point over the instep adjacent the center of the shoe, an insole, said insole being secured to the sole and forming a pocket under a longitudinal arch of the foot, said pocket opening at the edge of the insole on the side of the shoe from which the quarter extends over the instep, and an arch support filling in the pocket.
