Abstract
Abstract An insulated insole construction comprising a layer of plastic mesh material shaped such that when inserted in a shoe, it will have a portion extending over the inner sole of the shoe. A portion of the insole may be bent to form a toe cap to encircle the inner toe area of the shoe and the insole may have an additional portion engaging the inner sides of the shoe in the heel and arch area. The plastic mesh material comprises two spaced mesh-like plastic fabrics separated by a plastic separating material, all of which are encased within plastic films to form a non-collapsible chamber between the plastic films.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
An insulated insole construction having a toe, arch and heel area adapted to be included in a shoe comprising, a layer of plastic mesh material shaped to include an insole portion conforming to the inner sole of a shoe where the plastic mesh material comprises a mesh-like plastic first fabric, a mesh-like plastic second fabric spaced from said first fabric, a corrugated plastic separating material extending between and joining said first and second fabrics, a first plastic film overlying said first fabric and a second plastic film overlying said second fabric with said first and second plastic films being sealed together around their edges to hermetically encase said first and second fabrics and separating material to form a noncollapsible insulating chamber therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
An insulated insole construction having a toe, arch and heel area adapted to be included in a shoe comprising, a layer of plastic mesh material shaped to include an insole portion conforming to the inner sole of a shoe where the plastic mesh material comprises a mesh-like plastic first fabric, a mesh-like plastic second fabric spaced from said first fabric, a corrugated plastic separating material extending between and joining said first and second fabrics, a first plastic film overlying said first fabric and a second plastic film overlying said second fabric with said first and second plastic films being sealed together around their edges to hermetically encase said first and second fabrics and separating material to form a noncollapsible insulating chamber therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
93 words
An insulated insole construction having a toe, arch and heel area adapted to be included in a shoe comprising, a layer of plastic mesh material shaped to include an insole portion conforming to the inner sole of a shoe where the plastic mesh material has in addition a toe rim portion extending beyond the insole portion in the toe area whereby when said insole construction is included in a shoe, said toe rim portion is turned up and over to form a toe cap which encircles the inner toe area of a shoe.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
93 words
An insulated insole construction having a toe, arch and heel area adapted to be included in a shoe comprising, a layer of plastic mesh material shaped to include an insole portion conforming to the inner sole of a shoe where the plastic mesh material has in addition a toe rim portion extending beyond the insole portion in the toe area whereby when said insole construction is included in a shoe, said toe rim portion is turned up and over to form a toe cap which encircles the inner toe area of a shoe.
