Definitions

  • This invention comprises a shoe construction providing improved means for adjusting the effective girth of a shoe to properly fit the foot therein, including alonq both their upper and lower side portions, as well as providing means to keep the foot transversely centered in the shoe at its lesser girth adjustments.
  • the present invention provides such girth adjustment means, including the adjustment of the particular ball to instep girth relationship of the shoe to that of the foot of the wearer, while keeping the foot transversely centered in the shoe at all lesser girth adjustments thereof.
  • This invention is directed to a girth adjustable shoe construction having improved means for adjusting the effective girth of a shoe for optimum fit to a foot therein, including in both upper and lower side portions while also keeping the foot transversely centered in the shoe at all lesser girth adjustments thereof.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational cross-section of a shoe 20 taken along its longitudinal centerline and embodying principles of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show plan views of elements of the shoe 20 of FIG. 1 taken along the lines 2-2 and 3-3 thereof, with FIG. 2 showing these elements as they would appear with the shoe 20 adjusted to greater girth, while FIG. 3 shows their adjustment to lesser girth.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show transverse elevational cross-sections of the shoe 20 of FIG. 1 , taken along the lines 4-4 and 5-5 thereof, with FIG. 4 showing the section with the shoe 20 adjusted to greater girth while FIG. 5 shows its adjustment to a lesser girth.
  • Heel-slip The vertical movement of the backpart of a shoe relative to the adjacent heel of a wearer's foot, as may occur during the stride.
  • “Lining" - Element of a shoe typically a sheet material, located within the outer upper and bottom elements of a shoe.
  • “Loose” Having less than continuous attachment to adjacent elements of a shoe.
  • “Lower side portion” The lower 1 to 3 cm. side potions of a foot or shoe.
  • Shank The rearpart bottom portion of a foot or shoe, located between the instep and heel portions thereof.
  • Topline The topmost edge areas of upper elements of a shoe.
  • Vulcanized shoe construction A conventional shoe-making process wherein latex based adhesives and bottom and upper elements of a shoe are cured to a final rubber constituency by the application of heat.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a typical shoe design in a construction embodying principles of the present invention, applicable to other shoe designs, including those with conventional laces or straps.
  • FIG. 1 shows a popular handsewn loafer styled casual shoe 20, comprising an upper assembly 22 which includes a vamp 24 attached to a plug 26 as by a handsewn seam 28, and a cuff 30 attached to the vamp 24 by a cuff-stitching 32 and also by topline stitching 34 thereunder (as best seen in later figures), as well as a counter 36 attached to the backpart of the vamp 24 by counter-stitching 38.
  • FIG. 1 also shows girth adjusting midportional flexible tapes 40.
  • the flexible tapes 40 which are preferably woven and inelastic fabrics, are stitched to the toplines of the vamp 24 together with an elastic, preferably spandex fabric, loose lining 42 thereunder.
  • the loose lining 42 latter extends across the top surface of a loose insole 44 and there are multiple insoles thereunder. As shown there are three additional insoles 46, 48 and 50 under loose insole 44 and above a unitsole 52.
  • the loose lining exerts a tension on the side portions of the shoe 20. The tension generally will vary from about 8 to about 12 ounces per longitudinal inch of the shoe 20, between its toe and heel portions, depending on the girth and tension preferred by the wearer.
  • FIG. 1 shows loose insole 44 (the narrowest insole which defines the least girth for which the shoe is designed) and loose insole 46 (which has the full maximum width for which the shoe is designed) as well as fixed insoles 48 and 50 (which can be combined into a single element if desired).
  • the girth adjustment means comprises a preferably stainless steel circular cam 56, located above or imbedded within fixed insole 46 in combination with a preferably stainless steel manually controlled adjustment screw 54.
  • the adjustment screw 54 shown inset into the bottom shank surface of the unitsole 52, is fixedly attached to the circular cam 56 which includes a variable radiused cam-slot 58 containing an eyelet 60 which extends downwards through a longitudinal slot 62 in fixed insole 48.
  • the longitudinal slot 62 allows adjustment of the eyelet 60 and holds the shank of the adjusting screw 54.
  • the eyelet 60 is held by a washer 64 over the clinched end of the eyelet 60.
  • the barrel of the eyelet holds and adjusts a girth adjusting line 66 extending therefrom to and around the barrel of centerline waist eyelet 68 connecting insoles 46 and 48, to its attachment to the lower ends of the tapes 40, as best seen in FIGS. 2-3.
  • the cam system with a single line allow adjustment of shoe girth of about three (3) standard widths/girths.
  • a doubled line may be used.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show plan views of elements of the shoe 20, taken from the top surface of the insole 46 and showing the stainless steel circular cam 56, including the variably radiused cam-slot 58 and eyelet 60 therein, together with the girth adjustable line 66 extending therefrom to and around the barrel of the centerline waist eyelet 68 connecting insoles 46 and 48, to the attachment of the ends of line 66 to the lower waist portions of said tapes 40 as by knots 70 or equivalent means.
  • the uppermost insole 44 (which contacts a foot inserted in the shoe) has (a) toe and heel portions substantially the same size and shape as an insole that would be used in a single girth shoe which fits a maximum girth foot for which the adjustable girth shoe is designed, and (b) side portions, especially at the ball, waist, and instep areas, which fit a minimum girth foot for which the adjustable girth shoe is designed.
  • the narrowed side portions of insole 44 provide ful l support of the horizontal weight- bearing bottom surface at all girth adjustments of the shoe 20.
  • all insoles of the shoe 20 have matching longitudinal centerlines, which serve to keep the foot securely centered transversely in the shoe 20, at all girth adjust-ments, an important improvement in shoe construction heretofore unavailable in conventional shoes with typically relatively inelastic upper elements, and particularly needed for athletics and other active wearing use.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show cross-sections of the shoe 20 of FIG. 1 , taken along lines 4-4 and 5-5 thereof, with both sections showing elements of the shoe 20 of FIG. 1 , including upper assembly 22, with vamp 24 attached to plug 26 by handsewn seam 28, together with the girth adjusting tapes 40 and loose lining 42 attached to the toplines of the vamp 24 by stitching 34.
  • the loose lining 42 is preferably cemented to the top surface of loose insole 44, with insoles 44 , 46 and 48 thereunder, the latter attached to vamp 24 by butt-stitching means 54, over unitsole 52 which is attached to the upper assembly 22 as by conventional direct sole-molding means.
  • the improved girth adjusting means of the shoe construction of this invention provides manually operable girth adjustment means which adjust both the girth and the tension of a shoe to comfortably fit a foot therein over a range of successive girths, providing such fit in both upper and lower side portions of the foot, while automatically adjusting the ball, waist and instep girths to the particular girth relationship of the wearer's foot while keeping the foot securely centered at all girth adjustments thereof.
