Device for high-heeled shoes and method of constructing a high-heeled shoe

85:

• A method of constructing a high-heeled shoe comprising:
• a. assembling an upper, insole board and sole;
• b. mounting above the insole board in the area of the insole board that is positioned under the wearer's calcaneus and forward of the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus a first flexible device having an upper surface which gradually rises from the rear of the device to a crescent shaped apex, said apex lying under the area of the calcaneus forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus;
• and
• a. mounting above the insole board a second flexible device in the area of the insole board that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of the wearer's metatarsals, said second device having an upper surface which gradually rises from a position behind the heads of wearer's metatarsals to an apex positioned to underlie the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals, wherein the first and second devices in concert cause the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.

• In a method of constructing a high-heeled shoe comprising assembling an upper, insole board and sole, the improvement comprising:
• a. mounting above the insole board in the area of the insole board that is positioned under the wearer's calcaneus in at least the area forward of the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus a first flexible device having an upper surface which gradually rises from the rear of the device to a crescent shaped apex, said apex lying under the area forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus;
• and
• b. mounting above the insole board in the area of the insole board that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of the wearer's metatarsals a second flexible device having an upper surface which gradually rises from a position behind the heads of the wearer's metatarsals to an apex positioned to underlie the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals, wherein the first and second devices in concert cause the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.

89:

• A method of constructing a high-heeled shoe comprising:
• a. assembling an upper, a sole and an insole board having an upper surface having a raised area that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of a wearer's metatarsals, said upper surface gradually rising from a position behind the heads of the wearer's metatarsals to an apex under the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals;
• and
• b. mounting above the insole board in at least the area of the insole board that is under the calcaneus forward o f the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus a flexible device having an upper surface which gradually rises from the rear of the device to a crescent shaped apex, said apex lying under the area forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, wherein the raised area and the device in concert cause the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.

93:

• A method of constructing a high-heeled shoe comprising:
• a. assembling an upper, a sole and an insole board having an upper surface having a raised area under a wearer's calcaneus forward of the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, said upper surface gradually rising from the rear to a crescent-shaped apex, said apex lying under the area forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus;
• and
• b. mounting above the insole board in the area of the insole board that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of the wearer's metatarsals a flexible device, the upper surface of which gradually rises from a position behind the heads of the wearer's metatarsals to an apex positioned to underlie the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals, wherein the device causes the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.

95:

• In a high-heeled shoe having a sole, an upper and an insole board, the improvement comprising a flexible device which is mounted on the insole board, said device having:
• a. a rear region having an upper surface and positioned on the portion of the insole board that underlies at least the area of a wearer's calcaneus forward of the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, said upper surface of said rear region having a portion which gradually rises from the rear of the device to a crescent shaped apex, said apex lying under the area forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus;
• b. a forward region having an upper surface and positioned on the portion of the insole board that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of the wearer's metatarsals, said upper surface of said forward region having a portion which gradually rises to an apex positioned to underlie the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals;
• and
• c. a middle region thinner than the rear and forward regions, which connects said rear and forward regions, said middle regions having an upper surface which is smoothly contoured, wherein the device causes the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.

96:

• In a high-heeled shoe having a sole, an upper and an insole board, the improvement comprising a device which is mounted on the insole board, said device having:
• a. a rear region having an upper surface and positioned on the portion of the insole board that underlies at least the area of a wearer's calcaneus forward of the forward edge of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, said upper surface of said rear region having a portion which gradually rises from the rear of the device to a crescent shaped apex, said apex lying under the area forward of the tuberosity of the calcaneus;
• b. a forward region having an upper surface and positioned on the portion of the insole board that underlies at least a portion of the shafts of the wearer's metatarsals, said upper surface of said forward region having a portion which gradually rises to an apex positioned to underlie the shafts of the wearer's second and third metatarsals;
• and
• c. a middle region thinner than the apices of the rear and forward regions, which connects said rear and forward regions, said middle regions having an upper surface which is smoothly contoured, wherein the device causes the weight borne by a wearer's foot to be shifted towards the heel and off the ball of the foot.
