The Detailed Description is not to be regarded as limiting the scope of the preceding Summary of the Invention in any way. The Detailed Description will make reference to a number of drawings as follows:
  • FIG. 1 a is a plan view of a footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention,
  • FIG. 1 b is a side view of the footwear cushion of FIG. 1 a;
  • FIG. 2 a is a plan view showing a footwear cushion, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, aligned with a foot within footwear;
  • FIG. 2 b is a side view showing the footwear cushion of FIG. 2 a aligned with a foot;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of a dimensioned footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a footwear cushion 2 as shown in FIG. 1. The cushion 2 includes a base 4 for locating over an insole of footwear and a protrusion 6 protruding from the base 4. The protrusion 6 supports a transverse metatarsal arch of a foot 12 as shown in FIG. 2. The footwear cushion 2 is described in detail below.
  • Returning to FIG. 1 a, the protrusion 6 is in the form of a tear-drop shaped dome, and rearwardly tapers to an apex 8. As can best be seen in FIG. 2 a, the protrusion 6 is located in register with a fixed end of a central ray 10 c of the foot 12. Furthermore, the protrusion 6 is located in register with ray 10 d of the foot 12 and raises the fore-foot in the footwear.
  • Returning to FIG. 1 a, the cushion 2 further includes a sulcus pad 14 protruding from the base 4 and from which the protrusion 6 protrudes. As can best be seen in FIG. 2, the pad 14 supports the three central rays 10 b, 10 c, 10 d of the foot 12, and is located between the outer rays 10 a, 10 e of the foot 12 which are instead able to move more freely. The pad 14 is located behind the metatarsal heads 16 with a front portion of the base 4 located in register with the metatarsal heads 16.
  • As can best be seen in FIG. 1 a, the base 4 defines a convex portion 18 proximal its rear apex to suit cushion insertion into flat soled footwear. In contrast, FIG. 3 shows a base 4 which tapers rearwardly to facilitate insertion into high heel footwear and which defines a concave portion 20 proximal its rear apex. The cushion 2 of FIG. 3 does not include a sulcus pad 14.
  • The base 4 includes adhesive for adhering the base 4 to the insole of the footwear. As can best be seen in FIGS. 1 b and 4, the cushion 2 further includes rows of pebbles 22 extending from a front portion of the base 4 to facilitate gripping with the foot 12. The cushion 2 is molded and integrally formed from homogeneous resilient material such as plastics or rubber material.
  • The foregoing preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a footwear cushion 2 that supports the foot 12 in problem areas to alleviate pain.
  • A person skilled in the art will appreciate that many embodiments and variations can be made without departing from the ambit of the present invention.
  • In one embodiment, the protrusion 6 is located in register with the three central rays 10 b, 10 c, 10 d of the foot 12.
  • The dimensions shown in FIG. 4 are in millimeters, and are by way of example only.
  • In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific to structural or methodical features. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to specific features shown or described since the means herein described comprises preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted by those skilled in the art.
