Abstract: An item of footwear including an outsole secured to an upper is provided. A bootie is attached to the infill panel. The bootie and infill panel combine to form a cavity receiving the wearer's foot. The bootie is provided by a single air permeable, moisture vapor permeable, and waterproof sheet formed from a plurality of layers of material laminated together. The sheet forms at least one edge portion extending, at least one time, a distance between a toe end and a heel end of the bootie. A protection strip is attached to the outer surface of the sheet adjacent the at least one edge portion. A stitching seam is formed by a thread-type material securing the at least one edge portion of the bootie adjacent an outer peripheral edge portion of the infill panel. The thread-type material extends through the protection strip and the infill panel to form the seam.

Abstract: The present invention is an assembleable game board assembly including a structurally supporting frame including a planar shaped and dart tip absorbing backing for receiving at least one insert sheet representative of a game play variant. A pair of upper and lower edge extending members are positioned in retaining fashion over corresponding upper and lower edges of the insert sheet and which receiving threaded compression screws with turn knobs through apertures defined in the ends of the elongate members and which align with threaded apertures associated with upper and lower edge locations of the frame.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a bootie for use in a footwear item is provided. The method includes laminating a plurality of layers of material together into a single air permeable, moisture vapor permeable, and waterproof sheet, and forming a bootie out of the sheet. The sheet includes a first membrane layer having a first side and a second side; the first layer being air permeable, moisture vapor permeable, and waterproof. The sheet also includes a second protection layer having a first side and a second side. The second layer is positioned between the first layer and an outside environment when the footwear item is completed, and configured to facilitate protecting the first layer from an outside surrounding environment. In addition, the sheet can include a third bonding layer having a first side and a second side. The third layer is positioned between the first layer and the second layer to facilitate bonding of the first layer to the second layer.
