Open-toed sandal with an integrated bladder filled pouch having a non-evaporative liquid composition

Abstract

Disclosed is an open-toed sandal with an integrated bladder filled pouch having a non-evaporative liquid composition, according to one embodiment. An open-toed sandal includes a sole member and a bladder filled pouch filled with a non-evaporative liquid affixed on a top surface of the sole member on which a wearer of the open-toed sandal rests a foot. A shape of the bladder filled pouch contorts as the wearer of the open-toed sandal walks. The contortion of the bladder filled pouch is triggered by a movement of the non-evaporative liquid within the bladder filled pouch. A securing support member is connected to the sole member. The securing support member wraps around the sole member to secure the foot in the open-toed sandal. The bladder filled pouch may retain a memory of a motion of the foot based on the pressure placed on the bladder filled pouch filled with the non-evaporative liquid.

         8 . A flip-flop, comprising:
 a sole member;   a pouch filled with a non-evaporative liquid affixed on a top surface of the sole member,
 wherein a shape of the pouch to contort as the wearer of the flip-flop walks, 
 wherein the contortion of the pouch is responsive to a movement of the non-evaporative liquid within the pouch based on a pressure placed on the bladder when the wearer walks; and 
   a securing support member connected to the sole member which wraps around the sole member to secure the foot in the flip-flop formed by the sole member connected to the securing support member.   
     
     
         9 . The flip-flop of  claim 8 :
 wherein the pouch to retain a memory of a motion of the foot when a material forming the pouch progressively changes permanent shape based on the pressure placed on the pouch filled with the non-evaporative liquid when the wearer walks in any direction based on a bending of a material forming the pouch responsive to a motion of the wearer, and   wherein the material forming the pouch is latex.   
     
     
         10 . The flip-flop of  claim 9 :
 wherein a thickness of the pouch is approximately 1 inch thick.   
     
     
         11 . The flip-flop of  claim 10  wherein the non-evaporative liquid is a blend comprising approximately 96% glycerin, 3% vegetable oil, and 1% water. 
     
     
         12 . The flip-flop of  claim 11 :
 wherein the blend comprising approximately 96% glycerin, 3% vegetable oil, and 1% water eliminates a sound of the non-evaporative liquid swishing around in the pouch when the wearer walks in any direction, thereby eliminating an undesirable sound of flatulence when the wearer walks that would otherwise be caused by the movement of the non-evaporative liquid within the pouch in response to the pressure placed on the pouch when the wearer walks.
