Claims12
A shoe, comprising:
- an upper secured to an outsole, wherein said shoe is a left shoe or a right shoe;
- a one-piece pliable layer comprising a generally uniform sheet of material having a generally uniform sheet material thickness between a first surface opposite a second surface extending to a pliable layer periphery being smaller than an outsole periphery of a ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed on said first surface or said second surface of said one-piece pliable layer or on said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe,
- said one-piece pliable layer conformably peelably adhered to said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said left shoe or said right shoe with a corresponding one of said first surface or said second surface of said one-piece pliable layer, and wherein said one-piece pliable layer periphery disposed generally inward of said outsole periphery of said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe.
2 more elements
A shoe, comprising:
- an upper secured to an outsole;
- a pliable layer having a first surface opposite a second surface extending to a pliable layer periphery, a plurality of patterned surface elements disposed in said first surface or said second surface of said pliable layer, said plurality of patterned surface elements entirely covers said first surface or said second surface of said one piece pliable layer, wherein said pliable layer including said plurality of patterned surface elements, sufficiently thin or transparent to allow visualization of said ground engageable surface of said outsole through said pliable layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed on said pliable layer or on said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe, said pliable layer conformably peelably adhered to said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe.
1 more element
A shoe, comprising:
- an upper secured to an outsole;
- a one piece pliable layer having a first surface opposite a second surface extending to a pliable layer periphery, a plurality of patterned surface elements disposed in said first surface or said second surface of said pliable layer, said plurality of patterned surface elements entirely covers said first surface or said second surface of said one piece pliable layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed on said pliable layer or on said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe, said pliable layer conformably peelably adhered to said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe with said plurality of pattered surface elements disposed in said first surface or said second surface of said pliable layer facing away from ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe.
1 more element
An outsole of a shoe, comprising:
- a one-piece pliable layer comprising a generally uniform sheet of material having a generally uniform sheet material thickness between a first surface opposite a second surface extending to a pliable layer periphery being smaller than an outsole periphery of a ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe;
- an adhesive layer disposed on said first surface or said second surface of said one-piece pliable layer or on said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said shoe,
- said one-piece pliable layer conformably peelably adhered to said ground engageable surface of said outsole of said left shoe or said right shoe with a corresponding one of said first surface or said second surface of said one-piece pliable layer.
