ABSTRACT:
Separation of the upper from the midsole, and separation of the midsole from the main sole, of shoes resulting from the kind of forces that are applied during the practice in bowling and other sports is minimized or prevented by the use of a wrap-around member in the toe region of the shoe. The lower margin of that wrap-around member is sandwiched between the midsole and the sole of the shoe, and it is wrapped around and over the midsole and up the side of the upper where it is fastened in a way that combines with a lock stitch that binds together the wrap-around member, the midsole, and the sole so that forces that would otherwise tend to separate midsole from the upper tend, if anything, to relieve pressure on that juncture.
A cap over the toe area, the lower portion of which forms the outer margin of the main sole, has an upper portion which is included in the materials that are held together with the lock stitch whereby to protect the juncture between the wrap-around member and the sole, or the midsole and the sole, from forces that might tend to separate them.
