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 (23). The distal edge of the upper has a polymeric binding (18) covering the distal edge and the inside and outside surfaces of the upper adjacent to the distal edge. The polymeric binding (18) seals to a waterproof insole (34) thereby effectively waterproofing the upper of the footwear. An outer sole (52) 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.
Chaussure imperméable et méthode de fabrication. Cet article comporte une tige constituée d'une couche imperméable à l'eau (23). Le bord distal de la tige possède un liant polymérique (18) couvrant le bord distal ainsi que les surfaces intérieure et extérieure de la tige adjacentes au bord distal. Le liant polymérique (18) se fixe hermétiquement sur une semelle imperméable (34), ce qui permet d'imperméabiliser efficacement la tige de la chaussure. Une semelle extérieure (52) est fixée à la tige afin de former une chaussure imperméable. La méthode de fabrication permet la production d'une tige imperméable ainsi que la fixation d'une semelle extérieure à la tige pour former cette chaussure imperméable.
