This invention relates to a non-slip overshoe, the general object of the invention being to provide an overshoe which may be quickly and easily placed on an ordinary 5 shoe or boot when playing golf, hunting, walking on slippery surfaces, etc., so that it is not necessary to change shoes. The invention also enables one to quickly remove the overshoes after playing golf, for instance, so that one can enter a clubhouse without changing shoes.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, referones will behad to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote likeor corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view showing an overshoe on an ordinary shoe.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the overshoe shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of F igure 2.

Figure 4 is a side view of a modified form of overshoe Figure 5 is a plan view of the shoe shown in Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a side view of a further modification.

5 Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the numeral 1 indicates a metal half sole which is adapted to extend to the heel of an ordinary shoe A, this half sole having a flange 2 around its to-e portion to which is fastened a toe receiving part 3 of canvas, leather or the like. The toe part of 1118 half sole is of solid construction, but the rear part is composed of two strips 4 and a cross piece 5 which is connected with the rear ends of the pieces 4. The ends of the cross piece are turned up, as at 6. Buckles 7 and 8 are fastened to one bent-up end and straps 9 and 10 are connected with the other bent-up end. The strap 9 is adapted to extend across the instep of a shoe or boot and be fastened to the buckle 8, as

shown in Figure 1, while the strap 10 is adapted to extend around the heel part of the shoe and be fastened to the buckle 7. This strap 10 is shaped to conform to the rear part of the shoe, as shown in Figure 1. Spikes 11 are carried by the half sole 1 and the pieces 4, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the overshoe is firmly held to the regular shoe or and 5, the sole 1 of the overshoe is of full length and has a heel pad 12 at its rear end and a heel receiving part 13 extends upwardly from the rear end to receiv the heel of the shoe or boot. A strap 14 is connected with this heel part 13 and a strap 15 is connected with the instep part of the sole 1. Of course, this form is also provided with the toe part 3'.

In the modification shown in Figure 6, the sole 1 is a half sole and has attached to its rear end the instep strap 15 and the strap 13' which passes around the heel of the shoe or bopt and is connect d with parts of the strap 15 It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. An overshoe for golf players comprising a sole section, a toe formed on the forward end of the sole section, a cross piece spaced inwardly from th rear portion of the sole section and rigid therewith for abutment with a heel of a shoe, upturned ends formed on said cross piece, an adjustable heel strap conmect'ed 'with said upturned ends, and an I adjustable securing strap connected with said ends and adapted to bridge the arch of the shoe.

2. An overshoe for golf players comprising a sole section, a toe formed on the forward end of the sole section, a cross piece spaced inwardly from the rear portion of the sole section and rigid therewith for abutment with a heel of a shoe, upturned ends formed on said cross piece, an adjustable heel strap connected with said upturned ends, an, ad'- justable securing strap connected with said ends and adapted to bridge the arch of the shoe, and calks projecting from the sole section and also the connections of the cross piece therewith.

In testimony whereof I afiix my si ature..

EMMETT R. EVER TT.
