Multipiece footwear insole

This is a shoe insole made from several different sections that attach to a bottom layer. These sections can vary in material, hardness, thickness, or surface to offer different support or feel. The claims narrow this to sections that are removably attached using hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing users to customize their insole with parts like heel, toe, and arch sections.

Why it matters: Since 2005, advancements in material science and additive manufacturing make producing varied insole sections with precise characteristics more feasible. This also enhances the viability of user-assembled customization kits.

Status: In forceA lapse was cured by a late fee and protection was reinstated.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom insole sections, varied materials, hook-and-loop.
