  • Patent number: 5673502
    Abstract: A light apparatus adapter for attachment to a sports shoe. The apparatus includes a toe shoe form (10) adapted for substantial circumlocution of the upper portion of a toe of a shoe intended for sport use, e.g. skating, hiking, walking etc. The toe shoe form (10) is comprised of a relatively hard, but somewhat flexible plastic shell dimensioned for spaced apart, overlapping and superimposed relation with respect to the upper toe portion of a shoe. At least along the interior marginal and laterally extending edges (14) of the toe shoe form is attached resilient and compressible polyeurathane foam, the interior width ("w") of the opening intermediate or between the interior lateral edges with the resilient and compressible polyeurathane foam in place being less than the width of the toe of the shoe for which the toe shoe form (10) is intended to thereby compress the foam against the toe of the shoe, when in place, inhibiting displacement of the toe shoe form.
