Abstract

A reusable, customizable shoe-insole having an encased viscoelastic material disposed on base of an insole and configured to assume an arch support structure in accordance with sole geometries of each additional user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A custom, reusable shoe insole comprising:
 a viscoelastic material disposed on a polymeric insole such that weight of each of a plurality of users shapes the viscoelastic material into a customized arch support structure bound in part by a heel bone and at least one metatarsal head of each of the users.   
     
     
         2 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 1 , wherein the viscoelastic material is disclosed inside an airtight polymeric encasement. 
     
     
         3 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 2 , wherein the viscoelastic material has a mass of about 30 to 40 grams. 
     
     
         4 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 2 , wherein the viscoelastic material includes malleable clay. 
     
     
         5 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 4 , wherein the viscoelastic material includes polydimethylsiloxane. 
     
     
         6 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 2 , wherein the polymeric encasement is constructed from a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polyethylene. 
     
     
         7 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 2 , wherein the polymeric encasement has an arcuate boundary. 
     
     
         8 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 2 , further comprising a padding layer covering the encasement. 
     
     
         9 . A method of constructing a custom, reusable shoe insole, the method comprising:
 providing a polymeric insole base; and   placing a viscoelastic material on the insole base so as to enable the viscoelastic material to assume a first customized arch support structure of a first user stepping on the viscoelastic material and assume a second customized arch support structure of a second user stepping on the first customized arch support structure.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein each of the first customized arch support structure and the second customized arch support structure is bound in part by a heel bone and at least one metatarsal head. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the viscoelastic material is disclosed inside an airtight polymeric encasement. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the viscoelastic material has a mass of about 30 to 40 grams. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the viscoelastic material includes malleable putty. 
     
     
         14 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 13 , wherein the viscoelastic material includes polydimethylsiloxane. 
     
     
         15 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 11 , wherein the polymeric encasement is constructed from a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polyethylene. 
     
     
         16 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 11 , wherein the polymeric encasement has an arcuate boundary. 
     
     
         17 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 11 , further comprising a padding layer covering the encasement. 
     
     
         18 . The custom reusable shoe insole of  claim 17 , wherein the padding layer includes slow rebound foam.
