Patent Summary

A waterproof, breathable shoe insert that conforms to the shape of a shoe, comprising a seamless, extensible film and a textile positioned on one side of the film. The film is stretched over a symmetrical last to form a bootie, which is then placed on an asymmetrical last and heated to conform to the shoe shape.

The insert can also be used as a standalone product, with a polymeric overlay for added cushioning and support.
