ABSTRACT:
An article of waterproof footwear and its method of manufacture are disclosed. The article of waterproof footwear has an upper containing a water-impermeable layer. The distal edge of the upper has a polymeric binding covering the distal edge and the inside and outside surfaces of the upper adjacent to the distal edge. The polymeric binding seals to a waterproof insole thereby effectively waterproofing the upper of the footwear. An outer sole is attached to the upper thereby forming the waterproof footwear.
The method of manufacture allows production of a waterproof upper and the attachment to the upper of an outer sole, thereby forming the waterproof footwear of the invention.
