JOHN WEAVER of 45 Cheapside in the County of Lorlon Boot Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
A button boot with a cloth leg gaiter, the said gaiter being joined to the golosh
of the boot. With the object of avoiding a hard seam at the edge of the golosh,
the leather lining of the shoe portion of the boot is continued inside the said cloth
gaiter from one third to one half the full length of the gaiter. The bottom of the
button piece of the gaiter is cut with a novel peak as shewn in the drawing "A.
in order that the said button piece shall be prevented from slipping inside the
golosh. The waist of the boot is made with a novel india rubber inset piece in
order to obtain pliability and prevent undue pressure of the waist upon the foot
when cycling or walking. Such inset piece being of similar shape to that shewn in
drawing "B" and having on the lower side that is the part which comes between
the outer and under sole a flange of rubber; this flange may be either cemented,
sewn or nailed to the outer and under sole. In order to insert the rubber piece
the centre of the outer leather sole is cut out to suit the shape of the rubber
waist.
Having thus described my invention I claim 1st the gaiter lined and shaped
substantially as described 2nd the waist of sole with flanged rubber inset
substantially as described.

I, JOHN WEAVER late of 45* Cheapside now of 123 and 125 Queen Victoria Street
in the City of London, Boot Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The whole
A ladies walking shoe with a specially designed and novel description of sole,
and also with a gaiter attached in a novel and ingenious manner.
forming an improved cycling boot.
The object of this improved boot is to provide the boot with an extremely supple
waist, thus rendering them of great advantage to cyclists, and also to obtain a
perfect fitting gaiter free from the wrinkles which are inevitable with the ordinary
gaiter when worn placed over a boot.
The sole has the whole centre of the waist cut away, as shown in the
accompanying drawing marked "A" or as in the drawing supplied with Provisional
Specification.
The portion cut away being replaced with a flanged waist centre made of india
rubber, as shown in drawing marked "B."
The gaiter is cut with a specially formed peak as shewn in drawing "C"
& marked "f" on the button side to allow for the position of the vertical button
hole in peak, at bottom of button piece, as shown in drawing "C" and marked "g.”

page_text: In joining the gaiter which may be made either of a textile fabric or of leather
by machine sewing, or hand sewing to the shoe, the leather lining of the shoe which
is cut much larger than the lining of an ordinary shoe, is extended beyond the top
of the shoe itself, and carried up inside the gaiter as shewn in drawing "D"
& marked "h."
This extended leather lining is then stitched to the inside of the gaiter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination of a gaiter and shoe, the latter of which is furnished with
an inserted flanged india rubber waist in the manner as substantially described
above.
