Innovation in the outdoors and apparel space is not limited to high tech gear. Sometimes the most innovative new products transform something that has not changed in a hundred years or more. That brings us to Dusty Rocker and Broken T Boots. Leslie Thompson invented a new boot design that has an interchangeable inlay for the purpose of changing colors of design, and recently received a patent for her new design: US 9,661,897. Here's a link to a video that gives more details.
The invention uses interchangeable inlays that show through openings in the boot to create different looks (see the teal blue in the example below).
The website (dustryrockerboots.com) describes the boots as follows:
It is great to see women innovators making transformations in iconic American footwear styles. This should be lesson to inventors and entrepreneurs that innovation knows no bounds.One Boot, Three Styles!
