Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A cushion type innersole for use with a shoe comprising: a first relatively upwardly positioned innersole element conforming generally to the shape of a foot of a wearer, a second innersole element moveably interconnected to and at least partially disposed beneath said first innersole element, said second innersole element being of generally U-shaped configuration and extending rearwardly from that point of said first innersole element normally underlying the metatarsal area of said foot, a U-shaped sealed envelope underlying and secured to said second innersole element, said envelope having a pair of symmetrically disposed legs and a transversely extending portion interconnecting said legs; a pair of frangible containers disposed one in each of said legs of said envelope, each containing one phase of a two-phase synthetic resinous foam system, whereby the manual rupturing within said sealed envelope and subsequent mixing in the transverse portion thereof of said containers will cause an expanded filling of said envelope, the system having a sufficiently slow curing period to permit the insertion of said innersole into a shoe, and the placing of the foot of a wearer thereupon to form the final shape of expanded foam within the envelope.

A cushion type innersole for use with a shoe comprising: a first relatively upwardly positioned innersole element conforming generally to the shape of a foot of a wearer, a second innersole element moveably interconnected to and at least partially disposed beneath said first innersole element, said second innersole element being of generally U-shaped configuration and extending rearwardly from that point of said first innersole element normally underlying the metatarsal area of said foot, a U-shaped sealed envelope underlying and secured to said second innersole element, said envelope having a pair of symmetrically disposed legs and a transversely extending portion interconnecting said legs; a pair of frangible containers disposed one in each of said legs of said envelope, each containing one phase of a two-phase synthetic resinous foam system, whereby the manual rupturing within said sealed envelope and subsequent mixing in the transverse portion thereof of said containers will cause an expanded filling of said envelope, the system having a sufficiently slow curing period to permit the insertion of said innersole into a shoe, and the placing of the foot of a wearer thereupon to form the final shape of expanded foam within the envelope.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
Structure in accordance with claim 1 in which the outer periphery of the second innersole element extends outwardly of the periphery of the first innersole element, whereby said U-shaped sealed envelope may conform at least partially to the shape of the shoe in which it is placed, in the absence of wrinkling of said first innersole element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
Structure in accordance with claim 1, said first innersole element extending to the toe area of a shoe in which it is placed, a second sealed envelope underlying and attached to said first innersole element, and a soft wax contained within said second envelope adapted to at least partially conform to the shape of the underside of the toes of a wearer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
Structure in accordance with claim 1, in which said first innersole element is of a length corresponding to that part of a foot of a wearer lying rearwardly of the metatarsal area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
Structure in accordance with claim 4, including a disconnected toe suPporting element adjustably positionable within a shoe with respect to said first innersole element, said toe supporting element including a sealed envelope, and a soft wax disposed within said envelope.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
Structure in accordance with claim 5, said toe supporting element including an adhesively coated surface, and selectively removable means for protecting said adhesive surface and positioning said toe supporting element relative to the interior of the shoe.
