insole

Abstract

This invention is an insole for placement within a shoe. The insole comprises a top layer, a bottom layer, a cushioning layer, and an antibacterial layer. The top layer contacts the foot, and the bottom layer is positioned below the top layer and adheres to the shoe body. The cushioning layer is located between the top and bottom layers. The antibacterial layer, also located between the top and bottom layers, prevents bacteria from the bottom layer from moving to the top layer. By blocking bacteria from contacting the user's feet, the antibacterial layer reduces shoe odor.
