declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a thin insole with a covering for the
purpose of increasing the strength and substance of the "lip" and "feather"
as well as of the insole itself.
The insole, of leather, which may be thinner, than ordinarily used, is split
for the required distance inwards all round the edge of the waist and forepart.
The flesh side of the leather is then covered with a material, preferably woven,
which is made to adhere thereto by means of some kind of glue or cement,
which may be of a waterproof nature.

The "lip" is then turned up and a strip of similar material is made to adhere
into the angle made by the outer side of the upturned "lip" and the feather."
The edge of this strip meets, all round the ridge of the "lip," with the edge of
the material first applied.
I, WILLIAM HENRY DORMAN, of the Green Hall, Stafford, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
