Self-Ventilating Footwear

Abstract

Disclosed is a self-ventilating shoe that is comprised of at least one tube running along an outer surface of a wall of the shoe. The tube contains an inlet opening outside the show and an outlet opening pointing into the cavity of the shoe. The up and down motions of a foot will cause a circulation of air as air is extruded into the cavity from the tubes during the downward motions and sucked back into the tubes through upward motions. Debris is excluded from the system through utilization of filters on one or all openings of the tubes.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A self-ventilating footwear comprising, at least one tube, said tube disposed along an outer wall of a shoe, wherein said tube is directed to a sole of said shoe where said at least one tube forms at least one channel; a plurality of outlet openings, said outlet openings being terminating points for said at least one channel; and wherein up and down motion of a foot inserted into a cavity of said shoe cause air within said at least one tube and said at least one channel to be extruded into said cavity or sucked into said plurality of said tubes and channels.
