4 Claims. (Cl. 36-115) This invention relates in general to certain new and useful improvements in shoes.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide the achievement of an accurately fitting shoe of highly attractive thongsandal type in which the thong will not rub, abrade, or irritate the toes of the wearer.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a shoe of novel design and appearance, which is long-wearing and exceptionally comfortable on the foot of the wearer.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a shoe of the type stated which possesses a snug-fitting shank construction and therefore accurately fits the foot of the wearer in the region of the arch and instep.
It is also a further object of the present invention to provide a novel thong-sandal which has the style, appearance, foot-fitting and wearing qualities of a hand-lasted shoe.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of parts presently described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a plan view of the outer sole member forming a part of the, sandal of the present invention; 7

Referring now in more detail, and by reference characters to the drawings, 1 designates a die-cut outer sole formed of sole leather of suitable thickness, and 2 designates a die-cut insole cover formed of relatively thin, but strong, leather. The insole cover 2 is slit, as at 3, 3, in the region of the shank and is guide marked upon its under face, as shown by the dotted line 4 in Figure 3. The guide-mark 4 substantially conforms in size and shape to the outline or contour of the sole in the finished sandal. Thus, it will be evident that the insole cover 2 includes a substantially wide, peripheral pull-over flap or margin 5 which is pinked to facilitate pullingover, as shown in Figure 4. The quarter b is formed of two companion-shaped sections 6, l, the section 5 having two straps 8, 8', and the section '1 having two complemental projections or ears 9, 9', for receiving buckles H], 10', as will presently be more fully pointed out. Thesections 6, l, are also formed with heel-strap portions II, 12, endwise stitched together, as shown in Figure 7, the seam being covered by a short pad-like section of lining l3.
The margins l4, 15, of the quarter b are inserted through the slits 3, 3' of the insole cover 2, and stitched by out-seaming, as shown in Figure 9. The assembled quarter 1) and insole cover 2 as a unit is then placed over an insole [5, the latter being provided with a heel-wedge IT, as shown in Figure 10. The margin 5 of the insole cover 2 is then pulled over the insole l6 and cemented down, as shown in Figure 11, form.- ing a thin covered platform p, thereupon the toe portion of the platform 1) is perforated to pro- .vide an aperture 18, as shown in Figures 12 and 15. A thong I9 is cut out, as shown in the pattern view Figure 13, having two long straplike ends 20, 22', and short tab-ends 2 I, 2|. The thong I i! is folded over and stitched, as at 22, to provide a rounded inner edge 23... The thong I9 is inserted through the aperture I5, the
insure complete security, the tab-ends 2|, 2|,
are further secured by a circular ring of stitching 24, as shown in Figure 16.
Provided for co-operation with the thong is an instep strap 25 having, at one end, an aperture 26 through which the strap-like ends 29, 20', are threaded and tied, as shown in Figure 18, the knot 2! being so located to suit the thickness of the foot, by the wearer, at the. time of purchase or during use. ,The rear portion of the instep strap 25 is provided with slits 28, 28', for receiving the quarter strap 3 and the mid-portion of the instep strap 25 is adapted to lie under the quarter strap 8'. The sandal is, in this stage of construction, slipped over a wood last B having an inwardly extending split or slot 29 in the toe portion thereof for receiving the thong l 9. Thereupon, a felt filler sole 30 is cemented in place, as shown in Figure 19, and the sole suitably leveled forreceiving an outer sole 3! which is, in turn, cemented upon the filled platform p. Finally, a heel lift 3| is conventionally tack-ed in place, as shown in Figure 21. It will be noted that the finished sandal S, upon removal from the last B, will have quarters which rise'smooth- 1y out of the insole cover 2, as at :r, 31 (Figure 23), and the seams holding, the quarters thereto will be totally concealed. Furthermore, such unique construction will hold the lower shank-portions of the quarters in snug-fitting conformity with the shank-curve of the insole Hi. It should also be noted, by reference to Figure 2 3, that the material forming the seam along the margins of the slits 3, 3, and the narrower margins of the quarter will rest upon the top of the insole i9 and will impart a small amount of transverse concavity across the region of the shank which causes the shank of the sandal S to fit upwardly under the arch of the foot of the wearer, providing greater comfort and support for the foot.
It should be understood that changes and modifications in the form, construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts of. the shoe and in the method of making the same may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from a the nature and principle of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A sandal including an insole having an aperture in the region of the toe portion thereof,
an insole cover having an aperture registering with the insole aperture, a quarter securedto the insole cover and having an instep encircling quarter strap, an instep strap secured at one end to the quarter strap and at its other end being provided with an aperture disposed in substantial alignment with the insole aperture, and a thong having split ends, one of said split ends being disposed through said registering apertures and secured to the insole and the other of said split ends being threaded through the aperture of the instep strap and being retentively knotted.
