Shoe insert

Abstract

An exchangeable and disposable shoe insert contains a commercially available panty liner for inserting into a shoe. The panty liner has a number of layers formed of an at least partially moisture-absorbing material and a side directed toward an inside sole of a shoe. The panty liner has moisture-storing constituents in at least one of the layers and partially or wholly covers over an inside sole of the shoe. A self-adhering coating is disposed on at least a subregion of the side directed toward the inside sole of the shoe. The self-adhering coating is releasable from the shoe without any residues being left behind.

         6 . In combination with a shoe, a moisture-absorbing unit comprising: 
 a commercially available panty liner for inserting into the shoe, said panty liner having a number of layers formed of an at least partially moisture-absorbing material and a side directed toward an inside sole of the shoe, said panty liner having moisture-storing constituents in at least one of said layers and partially or wholly covering over an inside sole of the shoe, said panty liner having a self-adhering coating disposed on at least a subregion of said side directed toward the inside sole of the shoe, said self-adhering coating being releasable from the shoe without any residues being left behind.    
     
     
         7 . The moisture-absorbing unit according to  claim 6 , further comprising a sole insert having a recess formed therein and disposed in said shoe, said panty liner disposed in said recess.  
     
     
         8 . A method of absorbing moisture in a shoe having an inside sole, which comprises the steps of: 
 obtaining a commercially available panty liner for inserting into the shoe, the panty liner having a number of layers formed of an at least partially moisture-absorbing material and a side directed toward the inside sole of the shoe, the panty liner having moisture-storing constituents in at least one of the layers and partially or wholly covering over the inside sole of the shoe, the panty liner having a self-adhering coating disposed on at least a subregion of the side directed toward the inside sole of the shoe, the self-adhering coating being releasable from the shoe without any residues being left behind; and    securing the panty liner in the shoe using the self-adhering coating.    
     
     
         9 . A method of absorbing moisture in a shoe having an inside sole, which comprises the steps of:
