A shoe insole assembly for enhancing the odor of a shoe includes an insole that is insertable into a shoe. The insole is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort for a user wearing the shoe. Additionally, the insole is infused with a chemical odor eliminator to reduce odors associated with shoes. The insole is infused with a volatile chemical scent that is released from the insole to enhance the scent of the shoe. A cushion is coupled to the insole and the cushion is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort for the user.

The invention provides a shoe liner that is easily placed within and affixed to the inside of a shoe. More particularly, the shoe liner herein possesses a removable paper layer that is removable after the shoe liner is appropriately positioned within a shoe.

The present invention provides a shoe material part mainly composed of a coffee ground material, a porous material and a rubber-plastic material, and is made of a recycled waste porous material and recycled waste coffee grounds, which can improve the value of waste recycling and reuse, and reduce environmental pollution, in addition to reducing waste, there will be no residue pollution of natural ecology and other issues in the subsequent environmental recycling, quite in line with environmental requirements. In addition, the present invention has the function of natural deodorization, because the coffee grounds can naturally diffuse the aroma of coffee, and the characteristics of better deodorization and air permeability of the coffee grounds can be used to reduce the foul smell of a user's foot.

The present invention is an odorless absorbent adhesive pad for the inside of a shoe or sandal able to receive and maintain an aqueous or oil-based fluid, the pad contains an absorbent layer for receiving the aqueous or oil-based (e.g., an essential oil) and an upper surface and a lower surface; an aqueous and oil impermeable layer affixed to the lower surface of the absorbent layer; an adhesive layer affixed on the aqueous and oil impermeable layer for affixing the pad in the shoe or sandal; a removable protective cover affixed to the adhesive layer to prevent damage prior to use; and a protective layer affixed over the upper surface of the absorbent layer to reduce or prevent the absorbent layer from contacting a user.

The present disclosure relates to a device for retaining the shape of a shoe. The shoe insert provided herein for retaining the shape of a shoe includes a toe fabric bag and a vamp fabric bag. Each fabric bag may be made of a malleable form-fitting fabric. Each fabric bag may be of different sizes and shapes to fit shoes of different sizes and shapes. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing a shoe insert and methods of using a device for retaining the shape of a shoe.

Shoe outsoles having anti-infective properties are provided herein, as are methods and materials for making shoes and shoe outsoles having anti-infective properties.

The invention relates to an insole (100) for shoes, in particular as a disposable product, having a top layer (200) that comprises a two-ply basic material and faces the foot, and a base layer (202) that is connected to said top layer (200) and faces the shoe, and having a foot surface (104) that faces the foot and an opposite Sole surface (102) that laces the shoe, wherein the top layer (200) and the base layer (202) consist of a staple-fibre nonwoven and bicomponent fibres and absorbent cellulose-based fibres and/or hydrophilic synthetic fibres are contained in the top layer and in the base layer, and wherein the insole has a combination comprising at least two different active-substance groups, the active-substance groups being selected from the group of antimicrobial active substance, odour absorbent and odour-masking substance, and both the base layer (202) and the top layer (200) being assigned at least one active-substance group.

An article of footwear is provided that includes an insole member. The insole member includes a base layer, an intermediate layer having a plurality of cavities, and a microbial layer having a plurality of microbial mediums with one or more microorganisms therein. Further, the cavities receive the microbial mediums of the microbial layer.

The present disclosure relates to an insole including a lower layer, an upper layer and an intermediate layer arranged between the lower layer and the upper layer. The lower layer or base of the insole is a supporting layer designed to be placed, in use conditions of the insole, above a sole of an item of footwear. The upper layer is designed to be placed, in use conditions of the insole, in contact with a foot, with or without a sock, of a user. The intermediate layer includes natural feathers distributed uniformly and treated so as not to allow displacement thereof along the intermediate layer. The disclosure further relates to an upper of an item of footwear.

The present disclosure relates to a device for retaining the shape of a shoe. The shoe insert provided herein for retaining the shape of a shoe includes a toe fabric bag and a vamp fabric bag. Each fabric bag may be made of a malleable form-fitting fabric. Each fabric bag may be of different sizes and shapes to fit shoes of different sizes and shapes.
