Description
- This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/452,136 filed on Mar. 13, 2011 which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Shoes are routinely worn by many people around the world. The shoe worn at a particular time and in a particular place by a particular wearer can depend on a number of factors. For example, the wearer can factor in comfort, design, social setting and even status when picking the appropriate shoe.
- In many instances shoes that would be appropriate for one setting would be inappropriate for another setting. For example, dance shoes would be appropriate during a dance recital but may not be appropriate for a more formal setting, such as a reception or dinner. This means that if the wearer is going from one social setting to a different social setting without returning home or to where his/her shoes are otherwise located he/she may be required to bring multiple pairs of shoes.
- This can lead to a multitude of problems. For example, the wearer must change his/her shoes which may draw attention to the inappropriate shoes. Further, the wearer must find a place to store the extra shoes. This may not always be a problem, but can be significant if the wearer does not wish to carry his/her belongings to each location. Additionally, storing the shoes means that there is potential for the wearer to forget one or more pairs of shoes.
- In addition, one or more of the pairs of shoes may be uncomfortable for the wearer. For example, high heeled women's shoes tend to lack significant amounts of padding. This can lead to blisters or other sores on the foot of the wearer, especially if worn for long periods of time. I.e., the wearer may have a comfortable pair of shoes close at hand but may not be able to wear them because of social restrictions.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a shoe that can accommodate other shoes within the shoe cavity. In addition, there is a need in the art for the inner shoe to be concealed. Further, there is a need in the art for the inner shoe to provide padding for the outer shoe.
- This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential characteristics of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- One example embodiment includes a shoe-slipper combination. The shoe-slipper combination includes a shoe, wherein the shoe is configured to be worn by a wearer. The shoe-slipper combination also includes a slipper. The slipper is configured to fit on the foot of the wearer and fit at least partially within the shoe.
- Another example embodiment includes a shoe-slipper combination. The shoe-slipper combination includes a shoe. The shoe includes an outsole, an insole and an upper. The shoe-slipper combination also includes a slipper. The slipper includes an outsole, an insole and an upper. The slipper is configured to fit on the foot of the wearer and fit within the shoe. The outsole of the slipper rests on the insole of the shoe and the upper of the slipper is at least partially concealed by the upper of the shoe.
- Another example embodiment includes a shoe-ballet shoe combination. The shoe-ballet shoe combination includes a shoe. The shoe includes an outsole, a heel attached to the outsole, an insole and an upper. The shoe-ballet shoe combination also includes a ballet shoe. The ballet shoe includes an outsole, an insole and an upper. The ballet shoe is configured to fit on the foot of the wearer and fit within the shoe. The outsole of the ballet shoe rests on the insole of the shoe and the upper of the ballet shoe is at least partially concealed by the upper of the shoe.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a shoe-slipper combination 100. In at least one implementation, the combination 100 can allow a user to wear a first shoe inside of a second shoe. I.e., the user can insert his/her foot within the first shoe into a second shoe without removing the first shoe. The inner shoe can provide padding for the outer shoe. Additionally or alternatively, the outer shoe can conceal the inner shoe. -
FIG. 1 shows that the shoe-slipper combination 100 can include ashoe 12. In at least one implementation, theshoe 12 can include footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while doing various activities. Additionally or alternatively, theshoe 12 can be used as an item of decoration. Theshoe 12 can include any desired material. For example, theshoe 12 can include leather, wood or canvas, rubber, plastics, and other materials. The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body. Though it has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in relation to vastly varied terrain and climate conditions, the foot is still vulnerable to environmental hazards such as sharp rocks and hot ground, which shoes can protect against. -
FIG. 1 also shows that theshoe 12 can include anoutsole 2. In at least one implementation, theoutsole 2 can include the layer in direct contact with the ground. Theoutsole 2 can include any desired material. For example, theoutsole 2 can include leather, resin rubber, natural rubber or a synthetic material like Polyurethane. The outsole may comprise a single piece, or may be an assembly of separate pieces of different materials. E.g., the heel of theoutsole 2 can include a rubber plate for durability and traction, while the front is leather for style. Specialized shoes will often have modifications on this design: athletic or so called cleated shoes like soccer, rugby, baseball and golf shoes have spikes embedded in theoutsole 2 to grip the ground. -
FIG. 1 further shows that theshoe 12 can include an upper 5. In at least one implementation, the upper 5 (also called a vamp) can include the upper portion of theshoe 12 that helps hold the shoe onto the foot. In the simplest cases, such as sandals or flip-flops, this may be nothing more than a few straps for holding the sole in place. Closed footwear, such as boots, trainers and most men's shoes, will have a more complex upper. This part is often decorated or is made in a certain style to look attractive. The upper 5 may include laces, hook and loop fasteners, straps or other devices for securing the upper 5 around the foot of the user. -
FIG. 1 additionally shows that theshoe 12 can include aheel 1. In at least one implementation, theheel 1 can include the bottom rear part of theshoe 12. Theheel 1 can support the heel of the foot. Theheel 1 can be virtually flat or can include thicker or larger structures intended to elevate the user or make the user look taller. Theheel 1 can include embellishments for fashion sake, such as in high heel shoes. -
FIG. 1 also shows that theshoe 12 can include aninsole 6. In at least one implementation, theinsole 6 is the interior bottom of a shoe, which sits directly beneath the foot under the footbed (also known as sock liner). I.e., theinsole 6 is located above theoutsole 2. Theinsole 6 can protect the foot of the user from harder material used to produce theoutsole 2. Theinsole 6 can include cellulosic paper board or synthetic non-woven insole board. Extra material can be added to theinsole 6 for comfort, to control the shape, moisture, or smell of the shoe, to help deal with defects in the natural shape of the foot, or position the foot during standing or walking. -
FIG. 1 further shows that the shoe-slipper combination 100 can include aslipper 13. In at least one implementation, theslipper 13 can be configured to fit into theshoe 12. I.e., theslipper 13 can fit above theoutsole 2 and within the upper 5 of theshoe 12. Theslipper 13 can be lightweight compared to theshoe 12. The wearer can remove theshoe 12 while continuing to wear theslipper 13 or insert his/her foot into theshoe 12 without removing theslipper 13. I.e., the wearer can wear both theslipper 13 and theshoe 12 if desired or eitherslipper 13 or theshoe 12 separately. For example, the wearer can wear both theslipper 13 and theshoe 12 to a location then remove theshoe 12 while continuing to wear theslipper 13. - In at least one implementation, the
slipper 13 can include any flexible shoe. In particular, theslipper 13 can include any shoe that is capable of being inserted into theshoe 12. For example, theslipper 13 can include canvas or cloth shoes that can bend and flex while being inserted into or removed from theshoe 12. Theslipper 13 can include a heel, or can be a flat shoe as desired by the user. - In at least one implementation, the
slipper 13 can include a ballet shoe. Ballet shoes, or ballet slippers, are lightweight shoes designed specifically for ballet dancing. They may be made from soft leather, canvas, or satin, and have flexible, thin soles. In general, ballet shoes fit very closely to the wearer's foot, for safety and to retain maximum flexibility. For example, theslipper 13 can include a pointe shoe. A pointe shoe is a ballet shoe with a box within the front end of the shoe that encases and supports the dancer's toes and a shank, which is a piece of rigid material that serves to stiffen the sole so as to provide support for the arch of the en pointe foot. - When the
slipper 13 is removably inserted into theshoe 12, theoutsole 9 of theslipper 13 forms aninsole 6 of theshoe 12. Alternatively, theoutsole 9 may form a sockliner or midsole if theshoe 12 already includes aninsole 6. Thus, theshoe 12 is constructed and arranged to receive theslipper 13, and to accommodate theoutsole 9 of the slipper within theshoe 12. - One of skill in the art will appreciate that the
slipper 13 can be nearly the same size and shape as the inner cavity of theshoe 12. I.e., theslipper 13 can include anoutsole 9,insole 11, and an upper 10 which are mostly or completely hidden by theshoe 12 when both theslipper 13 and theshoe 12 are worn by the user. For example, when inserted into theshoe 12, the periphery of theslipper 13 fits snugly within theshoe 12. Further, the upper 5 is sized and designed to accommodate a user's foot within theshoe 12 while theslipper 13 is disposed within the shoe. -
FIG. 1 additionally shows that theslipper 13 can be sized to be inserted in theshoe 12. In particular, the cavity created by the upper 5 of theshoe 12 is large enough to accommodate theslipper 13. In particular, the cavity created by the upper 5 of theshoe 12 is of approximately the same size and shape as the external shape and size of theslipper 13. I.e., theslipper 13 will be lowered into the cavity created by the upper 5 of theshoe 12 with theoutsole 9 of theslipper 13 touching theinsole 6 of theshoe 12 and theheel 8 of theslipper 13 touching theheel 1 of theshoe 12. - In at least one implementation, the
slipper 12 can be attached to theshoe 13 using a fastener. The fastener can include any device which is configured to keep theslipper 12 within theshoe 12. For example, the fastener can include snaps, buttons, zippers, hook and loop fasteners, or any other fastener. The fastener can be located such that it does not rub the wearer's foot, preventing blistering or other discomfort. The fastener can be located such that it does not show or otherwise protrude from the cavity of theshoe 12. Locating the fastener within the cavity of theshoe 12 can ensure that when theoutsole 9 of theslipper 13 is used as the midsole of theshoe 12 the fastener does not interfere with foot placement inside theshoe 12. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate an example of ashoe 12.FIG. 2A illustrates a side view of theshoe 12; andFIG. 2B illustrates a top view of theshoe 12. In at least one implementation, theshoe 12 can be configured to be worn with aslipper 13. I.e., theshoe 12 can allow the user to wear a slipper within theshoe 12, as described above. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B show that theshoe 12 can include anoutsole 2. In at least one implementation, theoutsole 2 of theshoe 12 is composed of stiff and resilient material, such as polyurethane, dual density SSR rubber, vulcanized rubber or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and may include a plurality of different materials in different locations to provide varying amounts of support to different parts of the foot. I.e., theoutsole 2 can protect and support the foot of the wearer. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B also show that theshoe 13 can include aninsole 6. In at least one implementation, theinsole 6 can include materials that are antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, and/or antifungal substances. In particular, the substances can prevent any bacterial, microbial, viral or fungal growth in theshoe 12. I.e., the substances can kill any bacteria, microbes, viruses or fungi before the bacteria, microbes, viruses or fungi are able to infect the user. For example, the substances can include bamboo charcoal or some other substance. One of skill in the art will appreciate that the substances can serve multiple purposes. For example, bamboo charcoal is a desiccant in addition to its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B further show that theshoe 12 can include aheel 1. In at least one implementation, theheel 1 is configured to support the heel of the wearer. I.e., the heel of the wearer rests on theheel 1 of theshoe 12. Theheel 1 is preferably composed of plastic, synthetic material or any other desired material. Theheel 1 can be of varying lengths. For example, the bottom of theheel 1 can be level with the bottom of theoutsole 2. Additionally or alternatively, theheel 1 can raise the back of theoutsole 2, such as in high heel shoes. - The
heel 1 can include any desired heel design. For example, theheel 1 can include a high heel, or a heel which raises the heel of the wearer above the wearer's toes. In contrast, aheel 1 which places theheel 1 of the wearer on the same level as the wearer's toes comprises a platform shoe. For example, the high heel can include any desired heel, such as a kitten heel, a stiletto heel, a spool heel or a wedge heel. A kitten heel includes a short, slender heel that can include a slight curve setting the heel in from the edge of the shoe. A stiletto heel includes a long, thin, high heel. A spool heel includes a heel that is wide at the top and bottom and narrower in the middle. I.e. a spool heel includes a heel that is thicker at both ends and thinner in the middle. A wedge heel includes a sole in the form of a wedge so that one piece of material, normally rubber, serves as both the sole and the heel. I.e., the sole is thicker at the back than the front. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B additionally show that theshoe 12 can include an upper 5. In at least one implementation, the upper 5 can include any desired design. For example, the upper 5 can include straps or other partial coverings, such as in sandals and flip-flops. Additionally or alternatively, the upper 5 can cover either all or a portion of the top of the wearer's foot. For example, theshoe 12 can include pumps or other shoes which are designed to cover the wearer's toes, but not other portion of the wearer's foot. In contrast theshoe 12 can include an upper 5 which covers the entire top of the wearer's foot, such as boots. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate an example of aslipper 13.FIG. 3A illustrates a side view of theslipper 13; andFIG. 3B illustrates a top view of theslipper 13. In at least one implementation, theslipper 13 can be worn independently. Additionally or alternatively, theslipper 13 can be worn in conjunction with a shoe, as described above. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B show that the sole of theslipper 13, comprising theoutsole 9 and theinsole 11, can be configured to match the profile of the plantar surface of the human foot. Theoutsole 9 can be fabricated from stiff and resilient material, such as polyurethane, dual density SSR rubber, vulcanized rubber or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), and may include a plurality of different materials in different locations to provide varying amounts of support to different parts of the foot. Further, theinsole 11 may be provided with an anti-microbial protectant. - In at least one implementation, the
insole 11 can include materials that are antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, and/or antifungal substances. In particular, the substances can prevent any bacterial, microbial, viral or fungal growth in theslipper 13. I.e., the substances can kill any bacteria, microbes, viruses or fungi before the bacteria, microbes, viruses or fungi are able to infect the user. For example, the substances can include bamboo charcoal or some other substance. One of skill in the art will appreciate that the substances can serve multiple purposes. For example, bamboo charcoal is a desiccant in addition to its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B also show that the upper 10 can include a flexible and elastic material. In at least one implementation, the upper 10 can be flexible to allow easy insertion of theslipper 13 into a shoe. I.e., the upper 10 can conform to both the foot of the wearer and the inner portion of the shoe. - In at least one implementation, the
slipper 13 can include a mechanism for removing the slipper from the shoe. In particular, the mechanism can include something for the user to grab when removing theslipper 13. For example, the mechanism can include a hook; or a tab that the user can pull in order to remove theslipper 13. For example, the hook or tab can be near the rear of the shoe or near the top of the upper 10 where the user can grab the hook or tab if desired. - The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
