The disclosure and prior art relates to shoe devices and more particularly pertains to a new shoe device for strengthening a leg.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shoe that is selectively worn. A weight is provided and he weight is selectively and removably coupled to the shoe. In this way the weight strengthens a leg when the shoe is worn.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A weight 24 is provided and the weight 24 is selectively and removably coupled to the shoe 12. The weight 24 may be comprised of a flexible material and the weight 24 may have a weight 24 ranging between approximately 30.0 grams and 550.0 grams. Thus, the weight 24 may strengthen a leg when the shoe 12 is worn. In this way a user that is recovering from an injury or the like can rehabilitate the injury without going to a gym or conscientiously exercising.
The weight 24 has a first end 26, a second end 28 and an outer surface 30 extending therebetween. The weight 24 is elongated between the first 26 and second 28 ends. Moreover, the weight 24 is inserted into the well 20. The first end 26 abuts the terminal surface 22 of the well 20 and the second end 28 is aligned with the back side 16 of the sole 14 when the weight 24 is inserted into the well 20. The second end 28 is concavely arcuate with respect to the first end 26. In this way the second end 28 conforms to a curvature of the back side 16 of the sole 14 when the weight 24 is positioned in the well 20.
In an alternative embodiment 32 as shown in
In use, the weight 24 is inserted into the well 20 in the sole 14 and the shoe 12 is worn. Thus, the weight 24 facilitates the leg to be exercised while the shoe 12 is being worn. In this way a leg injury or the like is rehabilitated while walking with the shoe 12 on. Additionally, the shoe 12 and the weight 24 facilitate the leg to be exercised without going to a gym or the like. The weight 24 is removable from the well 20 at any selected time and the shoe 12 may be worn with and without the weight 24 in the well 20.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
