    • DESCRIPTION
  • This invention relates generally to footwear.
  • It is generally well known that many persons who are obliged to stand or walk for long hours on hard pavements or floors complain of tired feet. This situation is of course objectionable and therefore in want of improvement.
  • It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a shoe cushioning sole that comprises a novel device for footwear that eliminates the above described objection for people with tired feet due to standing or walking on hard surfaces.
  • The object of the present invention is to provide a shoe cushioning sole which is moderately thick foam/gel/cellulose/plastic/rubber or like-material outer sole so to thoroughly cushion the person's shoes from the hard surface standing upon.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoe cushioning sole wherein the foam/gel/cellulose/plastic/rubber or like-material outer sole can be readily and easily replaced after becoming worn out.
  • Other objects of the present invention are to provide a shoe cushioning sole which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efficient in operation.
  • These and other objects will be readily evident upon a study of the following specification and the accompanying drawing wherein:
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a left-side and right-side shoe-shaped Sole Cushion,
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of a Sole Cushion shown illustrating an adhesive incorporated on the top side thereof,
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of a Sole Cushion in an assembled position placed on the bottom of a person's shoe,
  • FIG. 4 is top plan view of a Sole Cushion which can be cut transversely along lines 4-4 and 5-5 as it is marketed, and
  • FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are side elevation views of a Sole Cushion forefoot and heel in an assembled position.
    •
  • Referring now to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral 10 represents a Sole Cushion according to the present invention wherein there is an adhesive 11 that is detachably attached upon the bottom of a person's shoe 12.
  • The Sole Cushion 10 is of a generally shoe-shaped outer sole configuration. The Sole Cushion 10 comprises a moderately thick one piece member made of foam/gel/cellulose/plastic/rubber or like-material or the equivalent.
  • Upon the upper side 13 of the Sole Cushion 10 there is placed an adhesive 11 so as to adhesively secure the Sole Cushion 10 to the bottom of a person's shoe 12.
  • If it is desired to place the Sole Cushion 10 only on the forefoot 14 or heel 15 section of a person's shoe, a person herself may readily cut along the lines 4-4 and 5-5 and simply place the Sole Cushion to the forefoot or heel section of the bottom of the shoe.
  • The Sole Cushion due to its thick foam/gel/cellulose/plastic/rubber or like-material provides comfort for persons who stand or walk all day long on hard surfaces or wear uncomfortable shoes.
