PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improved Boots and Shoes with Pierced Uppers.
I MARIE KIRCHNER of Vienna in the Empire of Austria, 8, Salesianer Gasse,
Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to improved boots and shoes of all kinds with pierced
uppers which can according to the requirements or taste be composed of leather or
fabric such as cloth, linen, velvet, plush and the like or the same can be knitted,
crotcheted, netted made of bobbinet work or woven or thread, wool silk or other
gimp or galloon, metallic threads can be employed or the upper can be decorated
with or consist of lace work, braid, horsehair, straw or fibrous material. If the
upper is composed of leather or other material the outlines of the desired design
being drawn or printed on or otherwise applied to the said upper which is then,
pierced, perforated or cut out with a knife or pair of scissors or by means of
appropriate stamps and dies.
To this pierced material which has the appearance of fret work I apply braid,
trimmings, lace or ornaments corresponding to the design.
The decoration with braid, gimp or trimmings can be effected prior to the cutting
or stamping out. If the upper is to be made of threads, lace, trimming, horsehair,
straw or fibrous matter the same must be laid on the design or in the outlines and
are then connected by knitting, bobbinet work, net work, sewing, binding or
weaving in such manner that their mutual position is immovable and will corre-
spond with the drawing.
An upper made in the aforedescribed "manner will allow the foot clad with a
stocking of appropriate colour to be seen through the pierced or open parts of the
design so that the colour of the stocking acts as decorative background for the
ornamental covering for the foot and so that the perspiration is in no way
hindered.

ducing a colored effect said uppers being made by cutting or stamping out of any
desired material, by knitting, netting, bobbinet work, sewing, binding or weaving
or from gimp or the like, substantially as described.
2.) My improved boots and shoes with pierced uppers, substantially as described.
