             Reexamination 90/007,172                                                                               

















                    12. Cole’s Fig. 1 is said to depict a perspective view of a sandal (i.e., a                     
                           footwear) having an insole and an outsole.                                               
                    13.  The Patent Owner does not dispute the examiner’s factual finding that                      
                           Cole describes an “insole 12 having a flexible inner compressible                        
                           structure...having a top surface, a bottom surface and a side surface                    
                           extending around the outer perimeter of the inner structure between                      
                           the top and bottom surfaces....”  (Examiner’s Answer at page 3.)                         
                    14. Cole states that the exposed surfaces of the insole 12 may be “partially                    
                           or completely” covered with a non-leather material, which may be the                     



                                                        10
