Benefits of technology

This patent is about a new system for securing a shoe heel. It includes multiple regions that help the system fit tightly around the heel and the inner geometry of the shoe. The system is made from an elastomeric material that is comfortable for the user. This design makes it easy to bend and fit the heel engagement system into the shoe. The technical effect of this patent is to improve the stability and comfort of shoe heel supports while also making them easier to customize.

Problems solved by technology

Such inner tapes are uniformly thin and when curved may tend to buckle and cause chafing and later shoe irritation.

Abstract

Provided is a shoe heel engagement system and method of using the same to secure a user-heel-shoe interface and prevent unintended slipping and discomfort. The heel engagement system includes an elastomeric molded system having a plurality of projecting bumpers and stress concentration geometry features. The geometry stress concentration features may be linear or curved and may have multiple profiles. The geometry stress concentration features are arranged at least transverse to a heel arrangement, and may optionally be aligned with a heel arrangement and in arcuate form relative to heel or a foot-heel curvature improved security and shoe comfort that allow for easy bending-without buckling to fit the inner shape of a shoe. The geometry stress concentration features allow for easy air flow, moisture flow, and easy installation and adaption to the foot-shoe geometry.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority from U.S. Prov. App. Ser. No. 62 / 146,683 filed Apr. 13, 2105 and U.S. Prov. App. Ser.
