Shoe with knitted shoe tongue

This invention describes a shoe featuring a unique tongue made from a single piece of knitted fabric. The tongue has an inverted V-shape running down the middle and is attached low on the sides of the shoe's interior. A key feature is that specific sections of this knitted tongue are designed to be more stretchy than other areas, likely to improve comfort or fit.

Why it matters: Advances in computerized knitting technology since 2021 have made it easier to precisely control fabric stretch and shape within a single knitted piece, making the production of such a specialized shoe tongue more feasible and cost-effective.
