Abstract:
A suction-preventing footwear includes a boot, a first-vent, a second-vent, a third-vent, a manifold, and a one-way valve. The boot may include a sole having a heel and toe, as well as an upper extending above the sole for covering a user's foot having a vamp, a boot shaft, and a cuff. The first-vent may be affixed to the boot shaft near or on the cuff. The second-vent may be affixed to the top of the vamp, and the third-vent may be affixed to the rear of the boot shaft above the heel of the sole. The manifold may join the first-vent, the second-vent, and the third-vent together, such that each is in fluid communication with the others.

Claim (Index 17):
A suction-preventing footwear, the footwear comprising:\n a boot configured to accept a foot of a wearer of the footwear including\n a sole having a heel and a toe, and \n an upper extending over the sole configured to cover the foot having a vamp, a boot shaft, and a cuff; \n a first-vent affixed to the boot shaft of the upper of the boot disposed adjacent to the cuff of the upper of the boot; a second-vent affixed to the vamp of the upper of the boot; a third-vent affixed to a rear of the boot shaft of the upper of the boot adjacent to the heel of the sole of the boot; a manifold joining the first-vent, the second-vent, and the third-vent in fluid communication with each other; and a one-way valve disposed within the manifold configured to allow air to pass from the first-vent to the second-vent and the third-vent; wherein the manifold includes a conduit having a first-conduit coupled to the first-vent, a second-conduit coupled to the second-vent, a third-conduit coupled to the third-vent, and a junction joining the first-conduit, the second-conduit, and the third-conduit, the first-conduit, the second-conduit, and the third-conduit being in fluid communication with each other; wherein the first-conduit, the second-conduit, and the third-conduit are tubular, the first-conduit, the second-conduit, and the third-conduit having a circular cross-section; wherein the manifold is affixed to an exterior of the upper of the boot; wherein the second-vent and the third-vent each comprise an ovate member having a screen configured to allow the passage of air into the ovate member and an interior volume configured to convey air from the screen to the manifold; wherein the screen is constructed of nylon;\n wherein the first-conduit extends vertically along the rear of the boot shaft of the upper of the boot; \n wherein the one-way valve further includes a rubber seal; wherein the boot shaft is a knee-high shaft, the boot shaft being configured to cover a leg of the user below a knee of the user; wherein the boot is constructed of an elastomer, the boot being configured to flex; and wherein the manifold is constructed of an elastomer, the manifold being configured to flex as the boot flexes.
