  • Patent number: 5575016
    Abstract: A weight for kilties on boots and shoes is a thin strip of pliable metal with a serrated edge for attaching to the forward edge of the kiltie on the underside, where it weighs the kiltie to prevent curling and may be bent to conform to the shape of the shoe upper. Attachment to the kiltie is by a coating of adhesive covered by a peelable backing. A liner of leather or fabric or a coating of other material on the lower surface of the weight prevents discoloration of the shoe vamp by contact with the metal.
