Wearable shoe insole

Abstract

There is a footwear combination system that has a wearable insole and an article of footwear. The wearable insole has an upper portion and a sole or inner sole, and the article of footwear has an outer sole and an upper covering. The article of footwear also lacks an inner sole, which is provided by the wearable insole. The wearable insole is sized to fit within the article of footwear to be worn in conjunction with the article of footwear. However, the wearable insole can also be worn on its own. When worn together, the sole of the wearable insole acts as the sole for the article of footwear, and functions as an inner sole/outer sole when worn without the article of footwear. The article of footwear may be any type of footwear including boots, athletic shoes, dress shoes, and high heels.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A footwear combination system comprising:
 a wearable insole having an upper portion and a sole, the upper portion being attached to the sole; and   an article of footwear having an outer sole and an upper covering,
 wherein the article of footwear is adapted to be worn on a foot; 
   wherein the wearable insole fits at least partially within the article of footwear; and wherein the upper portion of the wearable insole serves as an insole of the article of footwear when the wearable insole is positioned within the article of footwear.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the wearable insole and article of footwear are sized such the wearable insole is in a limited to the article of footwear thereby substantially holding the wearable insole within the article of footwear. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the upper portion of the wearable insole is concealed by the article of footwear. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the article of footwear and the wearable insole are each capable of being worn individually or in conjunction with one another. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the article of footwear is an athletic shoe, boot, high heel, rain boot, dress shoe, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a coupling mechanism on an outer surface of the upper portion of the wearable insole. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein there is a complementary coupling mechanism on an inner surface of the upper covering of the article of footwear. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the wearable insole is waterproof. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the sole of the wearable insole has treading on a surface thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the wearable insole is a slipper. 
     
     
         11 . A footwear combination system comprising:
 a wearable insole having an upper portion and a sole defining a cavity therebetween, the upper portion being attached to the sole along a perimeter of the sole; and   an article of footwear consisting of an outer sole, an upper covering, and a fastening mechanism;   wherein the wearable insole fits at least partially within the article of footwear; and   wherein the sole of the wearable insole acts as an inner sole of the article of footwear when worn within the article of footwear.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 12  wherein a bottom surface of the sole of the wearable insole bears a complimentary shape to an upper surface of the outer sole of the article of footwear. 
     
     
         13 . A footwear combination system comprising:
 a wearable insole having an upper portion and a sole defining a cavity therebetween,   the upper portion being attached to the sole along a perimeter of the sole,
 wherein there is treading on a bottom surface of the sole, and 
 wherein there is at least one coupling mechanism disposed on an outer surface of the upper portion; and 
   an article of footwear consisting of an outer sole, an upper covering and a fastening mechanism,
 wherein the article of footwear has at least one complementary coupling mechanism disposed on an inner surface of the upper covering and configured to be aligned with the coupling mechanism disposed on the outer surface of the upper portion of the wearable insole; 
   wherein the wearable insole fits at least partially within the article of footwear; and   wherein the sole of the wearable insole serves as an inner sole of the article of footwear when worn within the article of footwear.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13  wherein the coupling mechanism and the complementary coupling mechanism comprises at least one a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13  wherein an outer surface of the sole is shaped to be complementary to a top surface of the outer sole.
