Abstract
The invention relates to a boot having a sole, an upper placed above the sole, an outer bootie placed between the sole and the upper, a first interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie, and a second interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie. The first interchangeable inner bootie may be different than the second interchangeable inner bootie so that a user can, depending upon the weather conditions, select which inner bootie to insert into the outer bootie. The invention also relates to a method for making the boot.
Description
- The invention relates to a boot with interchangeable inner booties.
- A variety of different shoe constructions are typically used by the footwear industry. For the most part, each shoe construction has characteristics that make it particularly well-suited for specific applications. For example, some shoe constructions are selected for their durability, others for their flexibility and comfort, while still others are selected for their aesthetic appeal.
- In the category of shoe construction that withstands the elements of nature or other weather related conditions, warmth and waterproof ability are often essential and, in some cases, are imperative for survival if the wearer is outdoors for long periods of time. Generally, boots are used because they seem to provide better protection, particularly if the terrain on which the wearer walks is wet or mountainous.
- A boot for these conditions often has a watertight lining plus an insulation layer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,226,898 to Trimble seems to show a boot with an insulating liner that is removable so that it may be dried in a quicker fashion than if the liner was not removable.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,499,959 to Tomaro appears to relate to a shoe with two interchangeable booties, where one bootie is waterproof and for cold weather and the other is waterproof and for warm weather.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,964,147 to Covatch appears to relate to a shoe with an inner bootie permanently placed in an outer bootie. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 6,048,810 to Baychar and U.S. Pat. No. 5,802,740 to Merk also appear to show one liner or bootie placed within the boot.
- In all of the above described boots, if the wearer experiences a dramatic change in temperature, whether colder or warmer, the wearer may have little recourse in adjusting the boot to conform to the changing conditions since a single bootie is often used and the wearer has no other choice but to use the single bootie or, if multiple booties are described, the adjustment may be limited to one bootie. Moreover, if the single bootie is damaged or lost, the entire boot may be rendered useless.
- What is desired, therefore, is a shoe that may be adjusted to a change temperature. Another desire is a shoe that may be adjusted to accommodate significant changes in temperature. A further desire is a shoe that may be adjusted to accommodate changes in other environmental elements, such as wetness or wind.
- It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an adjustable shoe.
- Another object is a shoe that may be altered according to the weather.
- These and other objects of the invention are achieved by a boot having a sole, an upper placed above the sole, an outer bootie placed between the sole and the upper, a first interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie, and a second interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie. The first interchangeable inner bootie may be different than the second interchangeable inner bootie so that a user can, depending upon the weather conditions, select which inner bootie to insert into the outer bootie.
- In some embodiments, a socklining is placed above a top surface of the outer bootie. In other embodiments, a footbed is removably placed within the outer bootie or within one of the interchangeable inner booties.
- In some embodiments, the sole is a midsole. In other embodiments, the sole is an outsole, an insole, or a tuckboard.
- In further embodiments, a plurality of interchangeable inner booties are provided, each being removably attachable within the outer bootie. In some of these embodiments, each interchangeable inner bootie of the plurality of interchangeable inner booties is different than a next interchangeable inner bootie.
- In another aspect of the invention, the pair of interchangeable inner booties that are each removably attachable within the outer bootie are also removably attachable within each other.
- In another aspect of the invention, a method of providing a boot includes the steps of providing a sole, placing an upper above the sole, placing an outer bootie between the sole and the upper, providing a first interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie, and providing a second interchangeable inner bootie removably attachable within the outer bootie.
- In some embodiments, the method includes the step of removably placing the first interchangeable inner bootie within the outer bootie and removably placing the second interchangeable inner bootie within the first interchangeable inner bootie.
- In further embodiments, the method includes the step of providing a plurality of interchangeable inner booties where each inner bootie is removably attachable within the outer bootie. In some of these embodiments, the method varies each interchangeable inner bootie from a next interchangeable inner bootie.

FIG. 1 depictsshoe 10 in accordance with the invention.Shoe 10 includes upper 12, sole 14,outer bootie 20 permanently placed between upper 12 andoutsole 14, first interchangeableinner bootie 30, and second interchangeableinner bootie 40. -
Outer bootie 20 is any bootie that is attached withinshoe 10, or between upper 12 and sole 14, which is shown to be an outsole.Outer bootie 20 includes an insulation layer for keeping a user's foot warm. In some embodiments,outer bootie 30 also has a water resistant layer to keep the foot dry. Moreover, in further embodiments,outer bootie 20 has a breathable material layer to enhance air circulation. Also,outer bootie 20 may also have a wicking material layer to help move moisture away from the foot.Outer bootie 20 can be stitched, cemented, and/or fastened with fasteners to sole 14. - As shown, first interchangeable
inner bootie 30 is insulated and may have a wool layer or other material for cold weather. In a further embodiment, first interchangeableinner bootie 30 has a water resistant layer. In some embodiments, first interchangeableinner bootie 30 includes a layer of breathable material. In other embodiments, first interchangeableinner bootie 30 employs a layer of wicking material for wicking moisture away from a user's foot to help keep the foot dry. Still further, first interchangeableinner bootie 30 has a cushion layer for enhancing comfort to a wearer. First interchangeableinner bootie 30 further includes any combination of the above physical characteristics and may also have the same limitations asouter bootie 20. - First interchangeable
inner bootie 30 is removably placed withinouter bootie 20 so that the benefits of first interchangeableinner bootie 30 are optional in the eventouter bootie 20 provide sufficient warmth or water resistance. - First interchangeable
inner bootie 30 has different physical characteristics than second interchangeableinner bootie 40. Second interchangeableinner bootie 40 is more heavily insulated than first interchangeableinner bootie 30 and is for colder temperatures than first interchangeableinner bootie 30. Second interchangeableinner bootie 30 also includes at least all of the materials, benefits, and limitations of first interchangeableinner bootie 30 andouter bootie 20 plus second interchangeableinner bootie 40 may have several layers of each, such as multiple insulation layers, multiple water resistant layers, multiple wicking layers, and multiple layers of breathable material. - A wearer may wear
shoe 10 without either first or second interchangeableinner bootie inner bootie 30. If the temperature gets colder, the wearer then has the option of removably inserting second interchangeableinner bootie 40 within first interchangeableinner bootie 30 or simply replace first interchangeableinner bootie 30 with the heavier, warmer second interchangeableinner bootie 40. By placing second interchangeableinner bootie 40 within first interchangeableinner bootie 30, the insulating effects are essentially doubled, or compounded, since insulation is the combination of both firstinner bootie 30 and secondinner bootie 40 as opposed to firstinner bootie 30 or secondinner bootie 40. In addition to doubling the insulation, where water resistant layers, cushion layers, wicking layers, or breathable layers are common to both inner booties, these characteristics would also be doubled. - In some embodiments, and more particularly shown in
FIG. 2 , second interchangeableinner bootie 40 is placed within first interchangeableinner bootie 30 to vary the fit ofshoe 10 around a user's foot. By placing second interchangeableinner bootie 40 within first interchangeableinner bootie 30, the resulting fit is tighter around the foot. By wearing either first interchangeableinner bootie 30 or second interchangeableinner bootie 40, the fit is looser. By wearingshoe 10 without any inner bootie and only withouter bootie 20,shoe 10 is even looser. - In further embodiments, a plurality of interchangeable inner booties are provided, where each interchangeable inner bootie has a different physical characteristic than a next interchangeable inner bootie. The differences include varying levels of water resistance, warmth, weight, breathability, and combinations of these. A plurality is defined to be two or more.
- In this fashion, the wearer can vary or compound the fit, warmth, and water resistance of
shoe 10, which obviates the need to bring multiple shoes on a trip, where each shoe is worn for different temperatures or for different purposes. - The invention envisions another embodiment where third interchangeable inner bootie 42 is removably placed within second interchangeable
inner bootie 30, which is removably placed within first interchangeableinner bootie 30. In this fashion, there are multiple ways for varying or compounding fit, warmth, water resistance, and the like. Similar to second interchangeableinner bootie 40, third interchangeable inner bootie 42 includes at least all of the limitations of first interchangeableinner bootie 30 and may further include additional layers not found in first interchangeableinner bootie 30. - Securing
mechanism 38 is used for securing first interchangeableinner bootie 30 withinouter bootie 20 and includes adhesive, tape, fasteners, rivets, hook and loop, buttons, and the like. The location of securingmechanism 38 is, as shown, around a shin area or upper part of each bootie. In addition or instead of this location, securingmechanism 38 is located beneath each inner bootie so that each inner bootie is attaching to a bottom part ofouter bootie 20. - The securing mechanism for securing second interchangeable
inner bootie 40 has the same limitations as securingmechanism 38 for securing first interchangeableinner bootie 30 and third interchangeable inner bootie 42. - As shown,
socklining 48 is placed on a top of sole 14, which is an outsole.Socklining 48 provides a surface adapted to receive the user's foot and is usually smooth, such as leather. Moreover,socklining 48 may be used with a cushioned footbed. The footbed is to enhance comfort to the foot and is usually placed beneath the leather socklining. In some embodiments, socklining 48 is removed and replaced with the footbed, which will utilize thesecuring mechanism 38. - In some embodiments, securing
mechanism 38 is placed betweensocklining 48 and sole 14 so thatsocklining 48 is removable. In other embodiments, socklining 48 is removably placed withinouter bootie 20. In further embodiments, socklining 48 is removably placed within any of the first, second, or third interchangeable inner bootie. - It is understood that although sole 14 is described and shown to be an outsole, sole 14 is any anchoring point to which upper 12 is attached to define a volume into which the foot is placed. Therefore, sole 14 may be a midsole, insole, and/or tuckboard.
