PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Boots.
I, HENRY GEORGE HARRIS, of 17 and 18, Upper George Street, Bryanstou
Square, in the County of London, Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of boots.
According to my invention I make the upper of a boot to represent a gaiter, the
said upper being stitched to the galoche at the back and part of the side but left
free at the front and the other parts of the sides so as to form flaps which may be
secured by buttons or other suitable fastenings.
The portion of the galoche over the instep has a piece of soft material inserted
to enable it to readily conform to the front of the foot.
By my invention I obtain good ventilation as the air passes between the gaiter
and the foot.
Dated the 28th day of April 1891.

County of London, Confectioner, 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 :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of boots.
According to my invention I make the leg portion of the upper of a boot to.
represent and serve as a gaiter, the said leg portion being stitched to the galoche
at the back and part of the sides but left free at the front and the other parts of
the sides so as to form flaps which may be secured by buttons or other suitable
fastenings.
The portion of the galoche over the instep has a piece of soft material inserted
to enable it to readily conform to the front of the foot.
By my invention I obtain good ventilation as the air passes between the gaiter
and the foot.
My said invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawing in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of a boot manufactured according to my invention, and
Figure 2 is a plan, the flaps being thrown back.

e is the piece of soft material in the galoche and is a strap or tab for facilitating
the pulling on of the boot.
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 :-
(1.) A boot, the leg portion of the upper of which is shaped, and attached to the

page_text: galoche in such a manner as to represent and serve as a gaiter substantially as
described.
