Abstract:
1. Moisture repellant slip resistance shoes using wearer's own weight comprising: a top section for enclosing at least a part of the instep of a foot; a sole section attached to the top section for supporting the sole of the foot, the sole section having an outsole with traction surfaces facing a floor; and one or more flexible suction pads affixed to bottom surfaces of the sole section, the suction pads having a plurality of small absorbent elements partially planted in the suction pad to contact moisture on the floor and perforations formed through the suction pad for channeling the moisture absorbed by the absorbent elements laterally in response to downward pressures as a wearer walks to have the suction pads maintain a positive grip on the floor as they eliminate a slippery moisture layer between the floor and the shoes.
