Abstract
A shoe assembly for relieving podiatric pain includes a shoe that may be worn on a foot of a user. A therapeutic unit is positioned within the shoe. The therapeutic unit is comprised of copper such that the therapeutic unit may relieve podiatric pain when the user wears the shoe.
Description
- The disclosure relates to shoe devices and more particularly pertains to a new shoe device for relieving podiatric pain.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shoe that may be worn on a foot of a user. A therapeutic unit is positioned within the shoe. The therapeutic unit is comprised of copper such that the therapeutic unit may relieve podiatric pain when the user wears the shoe.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
- There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a shoe assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a back view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a left side view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 5 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new shoe device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 6 , theshoe assembly 10 generally comprises a shoe 12 that may be worn on afoot 14 of auser 16. The shoe 12 has a sole 18 and an upper 20 and the sole 18 has abottom side 22 and atop side 24. The upper 20 has anouter surface 26 and aninner surface 28 and the upper 20 is structured to define anopening 30 into the upper 20. The upper 20 is coupled to thetop side 24 of the sole 18 and the upper 20 has aback side 32, a firstlateral side 34, a secondlateral side 36 and afront side 38. The upper 20 has atongue portion 40 and thetongue portion 40 has a topmost surface 42 and abottommost surface 44. Thetongue portion 40 extends between thefront side 38 and the opening 30 in the upper 20. The shoe 12 may be a tennis shoe or the like. - A
therapeutic unit 46 is positioned within the shoe 12. Thetherapeutic unit 46 is comprised of copper to relieve podiatric pain when theuser 16 wears the shoe 12. Thetherapeutic unit 46 comprises a plurality ofupper plates 48 positioned between theouter surface 26 and theinner surface 28 of the upper 20. Theupper plates 48 are distributed along theback side 32, the firstlateral side 34, the secondlateral side 36 and thefront side 38 of the upper 20. Theupper plates 48 surround the user'sfoot 14 when theuser 16 wears the shoe 12. - The
upper plates 48 may include a frontupper plate 50, a pair of lateralupper plates 52 and a backupper plate 54. The frontupper plate 50, the lateralupper plates 52 and the backupper plate 54 may each have a unique shape with respect to each other. The frontupper plate 50 is positioned proximate atoe 56 of the shoe 12. Each of the lateralupper plates 52 is positioned on opposite sides of the upper 20 and each of the lateralupper plates 52 may extend between thetoe 56 of the shoe 12 and aquarter 58 of the shoe 12. The backupper plate 54 may be positioned on aheel 60 of the shoe 12. - A
tongue plate 62 is positioned between the topmost surface 42 and thebottommost surface 44 of thetongue portion 40. Thetongue plate 62 is substantially coextensive with thetongue portion 40, allowing thetongue plate 62 to cover atop 68 of the user'sfoot 14 when theuser 16 wears the shoe 12. Asole plate 70 is positioned between thetop side 24 and thebottom side 22 of the sole 18 and thesole plate 70 is substantially coextensive with the sole 18. - The shoe 12 includes a
shoe lace 72. Theshoe lace 72 is threaded through the upper 20 to extend across thetongue portion 40. Thetherapeutic unit 46 may include alace plate 74 positioned within theshoe lace 72 and thelace plate 74 may be substantially coextensive with theshoe lace 72. The copper material of theupper plates 48, thetongue plate 62, thesole plate 72 and thelace plate 74 may be structured such that theupper plates 48, thetongue plate 62, thesole plate 70 and thelace plate 74 are flexible. - In use, the shoe 12 is worn on the user's
foot 14 when theuser 16 seeks relief from podiatric pain. The user'sfoot 14 is inserted into the opening 30 in the upper 20. - The
shoe lace 72 is tied to retain the shoe 12 on the user'sfoot 14. Thetherapeutic unit 46 relieves podiatric pain while the shoe 12 is worn. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
