  Moisturizing slipper with removable insoleUSPTO Application #: 20070261265Title: Moisturizing slipper with removable insole Abstract: Disclosed is a slipper which enables a cotton-covered removable insole (FIG. 5) with a moisturizing agent (FIG. 5, 17) to be placed into the slipper. The design of the slipper allows the entire inside lower portion (FIG. 4, 16) to be exposed, when the slipper is open, making it easy to place the removable insole and one's foot inside the slipper. Once the wearer places their foot on top of the insole and into the moisturizing slipper, the wearer can then fasten the hook and loop fasteners (FIG. 3, 15) of the upper portion (FIG. 3, 12) of said slipper over the top of the wearer's foot, thus closing the slipper. The wearer's foot will begin absorbing the moisturizing agent. The wearer is then able to move freely throughout their place of residence while at the same time moisturizing their feet. Soon thereafter the wearer's feet will be moisturized and soft. (end of abstract) Agent: Nicole Taylor-buckner - Berea, OH, US Inventor: Nicole C.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] None. FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] None. SEQUENCE LISTING [0003] None. BACKGROUND [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The invention relates to a slipper having a removable insole that contains a moisturizing agent, said insole has a breathable/liquid impervious back sheet, a cotton overlay, and a core that is flexible, but yet slightly firm, possibly made of foam or a foam-like material. [0006] 2. Background of the Invention [0007] Most slippers attempt to provide a soft and cushioned feel for the foot. None focus on moisturizing the foot. There have not been many attempts made to moisturize the foot; however there is the moisturizing sock of Abrams, et al., U.S. Pat. No. D419,286, the footwear for feet beautification of Hollis-Lorent, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,874,253, and the footwear product for therapeutically treating the skin of Ruffini, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,792,701. [0008] [0009] The moisturizing slipper also utilizes a removable insole, however not for the purpose of providing comfort or for eliminating odor and absorbing perspiration as do the removable insoles of David, U.S. Pat. No. 4,580,356. The purpose of the removable insoles for this invention is for fitting into the moisturizing shoe and moisturizing the wearer's foot when placed between the lower portion of the moisturizing shoe and the wearer's foot. The wearer's foot is able to be moisturized by absorbing the moisturizing agent that is on the removable cotton-covered insole. SUMMARY [0010] The present invention provides a novel and unobvious slipper, which allows the wearer to moisturize their foot by inserting the removable insole with the moisturizing agent inside the slipper. Once the wearer places their foot on top of the moisturizing agent, which is on the insole that is inside of the slipper, and then fastens the slipper, the moisturizing ingredient begins to be absorbed by the wearer's foot. Shortly thereafter the wearer's foot is moisturized. [0011] The main objective of the slipper with the removable insole is to moisturize the foot. Some features of the slipper include being lightweight, made of breathable non-irritating, protective material such as lamb's wool, plastizote materials, and/or non-irritating synthetics, and having firm protective sides. [0012] Accordingly, one advantage of the invention is to provide a way to moisturize the feet without being stuck in one place, such as if one were using paraffin wax or was getting a pedicure. A person can move freely about their place of residence and not lose time by having to sit in one place while their feet become moisturized when using the moisturizing slippers. [0013] Another advantage is that there is no mess to clean up. With paraffin wax one must apply the wax to their feet and possibly get all gooey, and when one is done, they have to wipe off the excess wax. With the moisturizing slipper, once the moisturizing ingredient has been fully absorbed into the foot, (usually after about one hour) one can simply pull out the removable insole and throw it away. [0014] Another advantage is that it is more economical than going to a spa and having the paraffin wax done, or even buying the equipment to do it yourself. It is definitely less expensive than getting pedicures repeatedly. Only one pair of slippers is needed. The only thing that would need to be bought again thereafter would be the cotton-covered insoles with the moisturizing agent. DRAWINGS [0015] FIG. 1 is a perspective view taken from the wearer's left side of the moisturizing slipper when it is in a fastened position. [0016] FIG. 2 is a perspective view taken from the rear of the slipper where the outer bottom sole 14 can be seen and the upper portion's inner lining 11 can be seen as well. [0017] FIG. 3 is a perspective view taken from the top of the moisturizing slipper when it is in an open position. [0018] FIG. 4 is a perspective view taken from the top of the moisturizing slipper when it is in a fastened position. Continue reading...
