Patent US5315767 - Shoe sole saver. (n.d.). Retrieved November 4, 2015.
Patent Number:
US 5315767 A
Patent Summary:
This product is designed to attach to the bottom of your athletic shoes, which will save the
consumer money. Made of rubber, it covers the sole of the athletic shoe completely and also
covers a partial amount of the toe creating a separate toecap.
Patent Critique:
This product is a good design, but provides very little secure attachment to the shoe. It also
modifies the sole to where the consumer may not enjoy the shoe, making both the shoe and
the sole useless to that particular consumer.
