- Figure la illustrates a general concept of modified footwear 10 using the outer element/compartment 16, according to an embodiment.
- the modified footwear 10 comprises an original footwear (e.g., rain boot) having a foot portion 12 and an upper portion 14, and an outer compartment (pocket) 16 having a provision for drainage (as further described herein) and attached at least to the upper portion 14.
- a wet item such as an umbrella 18 can be inserted in the outer compartment 16a of the modified footwear as further demonstrated in Figure 2 for modified footwear 10a.
- the outer compartment 16 having an elongated shape is attached to the regular footwear such that its vertical axis coincides with a vertical axis 11 of the upper portion of the regular footwear.
- the vertical axis of the outer compartment 16 may be different than the axis 11.
- the compartment (pocket) 16 may be rotated by a predefined angle or within a predefined angle range 15 relative to the axis 1 1 (i.e., adjustably or permanently attached to the original footwear) such that the compartment/pocket 16 may have a new axis 1 la as shown in Figure lb.
- the angle 15 generally may be a relatively small angle (e.g., in a range of 5-30 degrees) which can be chosen by the user for providing comfort but still providing an adequate drainage of the moisture from the item such as umbrella using gravitation forces. Also the angle 15 may be adjustable for removable outer compartments using a corresponding provision (e.g., using larger size VECRO strips). In other words, the orientation of the pocket 16 may be advantageously adjusted for purposes of functionality, style and convenience.
- the footwear may be a boot (rain boot), or a leg wear such as a gaiter, having an outer compartment attached and adapted to allow for storing and carrying wet items, such as folding umbrellas and the like, in a manner avoiding the introduction of moisture into an inner compartment of the footwear or of the leg wear.
- Various embodiments outlined herein further describe procedures for drainage of wet items placed in the outer compartment of the footwear or leg wear.
- the outer (storage) compartment may be located on any side of the footwear/leg wear for example on the left, right or rear side of the upper portion of the footwear/leg wear.
- the outer (storage) compartment may be manufactured using any one of a variety of materials including vinyl, rubber, leather, SPANDEX/SPANDEX-like or any other appropriate synthetic or natural material.
- the materials utilized to form the outer compartment can be waterproof or water resistant and have an ability to expel water via some drainage mechanism.
- the drainage means may comprise holes (e.g., holes on the bottom of the outer compartment or elsewhere within the outer compartment) or some other drainage mechanisms especially added to or formed therein with the outer compartment.
- the bottom of the pocket can be completely open.
- the umbrella or another wet object may be prevented from falling through the open bottom by having a suitable taper in the pocket such that the cross- sectional dimension of the wet object on the bottom of the pocket being larger than the bottom opening of the pocket.
- Other means such as obstructing protrusions can also be provided to prevent the umbrella from falling out of the bottom of the pocket.
- the inner element/compartment can be implemented as a pocket made of a waterproof material and secured inside of the regular footwear (boot) using a watertight seal.
- An outer skin of the regular footwear may comprise a corresponding opening for inserting the one or more wet items into the pocket (inner element/compartment).
- the outer skin of the regular footwear may comprise one or more drain holes in order to drain water from a bottom of the pocket.
- Figures 10a and 10b presented below demonstrate a non-limiting example of such arrangement.
- the inner pocket material can be produced from a variety of waterproof materials such SU BRELLA produced by Glen Raven, Inc. 1831 North Park Avenue, Glen Raven, NC 27217. Other similar readily available materials can be also used.
- the pocket fabricated from this type of material can be attached at its edges to the inside of the boot using a waterproof adhesive such as 3M 5200 or 4200 waterproof adhesive sealant.
- Figure 3 shows an example of a modified footwear 10b where the bottom 17 of the outer compartment (pocket) 16b has holes 20 providing the drainage mechanism.
- a solid or un-punched bottom portion shown in Figure 3 of the pocket may be molded along with the walls of the pocket (with or without integration with the boot) 16b.
- holes 20 may be punched into the bottom portion later to provide appropriate drainage.
- the holes 20 may be punched or formed in the material at the time of manufacture.
- the drainage mechanism may be inherent to the material used for the outer compartment, such as a SPANDEX, SPANDEX-like or other mesh (serial) materials allowing water/moisture to pass therethrough.
- the outer (storage) compartment may comprise a preformed storage compartment accessory (e.g., to accommodate the umbrella) manufactured of a formable material that would allow for the preformed storage compartment to be attached to the footwear (boot).
- the preformed storage compartment can be made from a material drainable directly through the walls of the compartment or through the bottom (i.e., having porous or permeable materials).
- the outer compartment may be provided in a variety of sizes from low to high boot size depending on a user's need, intended functionality of the outer compartment and/or its style intent.
- the outer (storage) compartments may also be provided in adult sizes, children's sizes and the like, and in a variety of colors, patterns and textures to suit the aesthetic and/or functional requirements of the footwear/leg wear.
- one embodiment anticipates a removable outer/storage compartment, such as the outer/storage compartment removable from the regular footwear or a storage compartment removable from an accessory (kit) intended to be attached to the footwear/leg wear.
- the storage compartment would operate in the same way as the permanently attached storage compartment.
- the outer (storage) compartment can have a rigid or semi-rigid back side facing the upper portion of the regular footwear.
- the outer material (for the outer compartment) may be manufactured from a semi-rigid flexible material so that the water can drain through that material.
- the fixed or removable outer compartment may be manufactured from a rigid material. The rigid material may be then adapted to enable liquid draining through the bottom of the storage compartment (e.g., using bottom hole/holes).
- a re-enforcing flexible pad between the outer compartment 16 and at least the upper portion of the regular footwear 14 may be secured (e.g., using adhesive to glue the re-enforcing flexible pad to the corresponding area of the upper portion of the regular footwear, stitching can be also used instead of or in addition to gluing) before attaching the outer compartment 16 to the upper portion 14 of the regular footwear using the re-enforcing flexible pad for that attaching.
- the reinforcing flexible pad can be located (not being visible) under the attached outer compartment 16.
- the above modification using the re-enforcing flexible pad can provide a mechanism where a contact between the boot and leg may be reduced to promote comfort (e.g., reduce any indentations on calf or other portions of the leg) and/or aesthetics (i.e., provide "tactical" or other design flourish).
- the re-enforcing flexible pad may be constructed of rubber, vinyl or other suitable material, and may be located under the draining material or in other locations.
- the re-enforcing flexible pad may have a thickness chosen based on a desired level of comfort, function and aesthetics.
