Disposable shoe insole strips for footwear

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a disposable shoe insole strip which includes top and bottom layers, each layer having outer edge portions and may include a deodorizing and/or antiperspirant agent impregnated within. The shoe insole strip may be clear, transparent, colored transparent or may include designs and patterns to add interest to a shoe's insoles. The top layer is preferably formed into a thin, transparent strip in the shape of at least a portion of a foot sole with a non-slippery, sweat absorbent surface for providing protection from sweat, dust, dirt and/or other stains e.g. spilt liquids, colored juices, etc., which discolor a shoe's insoles. The bottom layer includes a transparent layer of adhesive for removably attaching the shoe insole strip to a shoe's interior and/or the easy removal of the shoe insole strip from the footwear once the shoe insole strip is worn and/or ready to be discarded after use.

1 . A shoe insole strip comprising of:
 (a) a thin, relatively transparent disposable shoe insole strip formed in the shape of at least a portion of a foot sole with a top layer and a bottom layer, where the shoe insole strip is adapted to fit the corresponding portion of a footwear's insole to protect it from an accumulation of stains and wherein the shoe insole strip includes a deodorizer impregnated within;   (b) both the top layer and the bottom layer are substantially planar and include an outer edge portion;   (c) said top layer is in mating engagement with the wearer's foot;   (d) the bottom layer of the shoe insole strip includes a transparent layer of non-aggressive adhesive that is further attached to a non-adhesive layer, such that the shoe insole strip can be removably attached to the corresponding portion of the footwear's insole; and   (e) the outer edge portion which defines the width and length of the shoe insole strip and directly corresponds to the inner perimeter of the footwear for which it is in mating engagement.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip comprises of pockets of fragrance and/or antiperspirant for allowing scent to be released when worn. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is colored. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is transparent. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip has visible designs. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is formed in the shape of any one of the following: a front portion, a foot heel, a middle portion or the entire foot sole. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is treated to make the top layer non-slippery. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is treated to make the top layer sweat absorbent. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe insole strip is substantially planar with raised pockets of fragrance and/or antiperspirant that are displaced throughout the shoe insole strip. 
     
     
         10 . A shoe insole strip comprising of:
 (a) a thin, relatively transparent disposable shoe insole strip formed in the shape of at least a portion of a foot sole with a top layer, intermediate layer and a bottom layer, where the shoe insole strip is adapted to fit the corresponding portion of a footwear's insole to protect it from an accumulation of stains and wherein the shoe insole strip includes a deodorizer impregnated within;   (b) both the top layer and the bottom layer are substantially planar and include an outer edge portion;   (c) said top layer is in mating engagement with the wearer's foot;   (d) said intermediate layer is disposed throughout and interconnected to the top and bottom layers and is further defined by outer edge portions of the shoe insole strip, and wherein the shoe insole strip has raised pockets of fragrance and antiperspirant housed within the intermediate layer where they are substantially randomly displaced throughout the shoe insole strip between the top layer, the bottom layer, and the confines of the outer edge portion;   (e) the bottom layer of the shoe insole strip includes a transparent layer of non-aggressive adhesive that is further attached to a non-adhesive layer, such that the shoe insole strip can be removably attached to the corresponding portion of the footwear's insole; and   (f) the outer edge portion which defines the width and length of the shoe insole strip and directly corresponds to the inner perimeter of the footwear for which it is in mating engagement.   
     
     
         11 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip comprises of pockets of fragrance and/or antiperspirant for allowing scent to be released when worn. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip is colored. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip is transparent. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip has visible designs. 
     
     
         15 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip is formed in the shape of any one of the following: a front portion, a foot heel, a middle portion or the entire foot sole. 
     
     
         16 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip is treated to make the top layer non-slippery. 
     
     
         17 . The shoe insole strip of  claim 10 , wherein the shoe insole strip is treated to make the top layer sweat absorbent.
