PROVISIONAL DI DUIFICATIO
Improvements in Boots and Shoes.
1, JOHN THOMAS HUDSON Glenbeg Dungarvan Ireland Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the construction of a boot or shoe which while
giving sufficient support to the foot & leg will not exert undue pressure upon the
ankle and navicular joints; the foot being more easily removed therefrom than is
the case with an ordinary boot.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the
accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1, is a side elevation of my improved boot, showing same partly open.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of same closed.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of a shoe constructed according to my invention.
a, is the leg support which may be constructed of any suitable material and is
The
secured to the boot or shoe by any convenient means such as sewing at b.
front of the boot is cut away as shown at c, a band d being employed to retain
same in position, and in the case of a shoe the band carries the ordinary shoc
lace as shown at e in Figure 3. By this arrangement the foot of the wearer is left
more free to move and greater comfort afforded than is the case with an ordinary
boot or shoe.
Dated this 13th day of April 1891.
