DEFINITION

Classification: 36/116

(under subclass 115) Foot covering intended to be worn while moving over a surface that is not stable, that is, the particles or molecules that form the surface can move relative to each other.

(1) Note. Patents in this subclass disclose shoes intended to be worn while "walking" on water or sand.

(1) Note. Patents in this subclass usually disclose a boot that is especially padded to retain the boot on the foot, or having a filling of foam to insulate the wearer's foot as well as retain the boot on the foot. Such patents are found here rather than in subclass 93 above because the function of the filling is for retention of the ski boot on the wearer rather than for support of the foot.
