TODAY’S PATENT – HEEL PROTECTOR FOR LADIES’ SHOES

The HEEL PROTECTOR FOR LADIES’ SHOES was invented by Kays Lillian and Irene G Alpern on the 25th of September 1956, bearing patent number US2763938A.

This present invention generally relates to a heel protector for ladies’ shoes to protect the heels thereof from scuffing and wearing as occasioned by driving an automobile, etc. A further object of the invention is the provision of a heel protector for ladies’ shoes which may be quickly and easily positioned on the heels and secured by convenient ties and conveniently and quickly removed therefrom.  A still further object of the invention is the provision of a heel protector for lady’s shoes incorporating a rib section along their points of greatest wear.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a heel protector for a ladys shoe formed of yieldable material so as to closely fit the heel of the shoe when installed and present an attractive appearance. A still further object of the invention is the provision of an improved efficient heel protector for ladies’ shoes, so constructed that the upper portion of the heel protector overlies only a relatively small lower portion of the shoe upper adjoining the upper edge of the heel and does not detract from the appearance of the shoe.

The heel protector for ladies’ shoes disclosed herein comprises an improvement in the art in that a heel protector of tailored form and shape is disclosed which in position on the heel of a shoe presents an attractive appearance and eliminates the bulky appearance heretofore associated with similar devices.
