Abstract
A biodegradable and disposable shoe liner is made of a first layer impregnated with a deodorant and an absorbent, a second layer made of a moisture-resistant material, and an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the second layer for temporary attachment to the foot bed of a shoe. A peel-off layer of paper covers the adhesive layer to prevent the shoe liners from sticking to each other or other objects before use.

A disposable shoe liner for a shoe to be worn by a person,
- the shoe liner having a toe end, a heel end, and a middle section, the shoe liner having an outline bilaterally symmetrical about a midline running between the toe end and the heel end, and capable of being inserted into either a left or right version of the shoe and above an insole of the shoe, the shoe liner comprising:
- a first layer forming a top layer of the shoe liner wherein the first layer is adapted to come in contact with a foot of the person, the first layer being made of a sheet of absorbent material impregnated with a substance that absorbs moisture,
- a second layer comprising a sheet of a moisture-resistant material adhered to the first layer,
- a third layer comprising tacky adhesive in the form of a strip attached to the second layer on a bottom side of the second layer, and
- a protective sheet disposed over a side of the third layer opposed to the side of the third layer that attached to the bottom side of the second layer, wherein the protective sheet covers substantially all of the third layer in order to prevent the third layer from adhering to other objects and the protective sheet may be removed from the third layer in order to permit the third layer to contact the insole of the shoe and removably secure the shoe liner in the shoe, and wherein the first layer, the second layer, the third layer, and the fourth layer are made of materials that are biodegradable.
