Definitions
- the invention relates to an article of footwear having a ventilated sole.
- the sole of the shoe generally comprises several layers of synthetic materials completely sealed, especially because of the need to maintain tabs used for damping shocks caused by strides on the ground.
- damping spacers are for example air cushions, gels held in envelopes or particular polymers.
- the invention therefore aims to solve these major difficulties by providing an article of footwear comprising, in addition to conventional ventilation by the top of the liner, ventilation by its lower part usually hermetic.
- the present invention relates to an article of footwear comprising a low structure located between the foot and the ground formed by several superimposed soles and a top, each of the soles being perforated, able to let water and air and made of a synthetic material. washable, said superimposed insoles being respectively:
- a removable and shock absorbing molded insole preferably formed of two layers
- the midsole is preferably composed of at least one, and advantageously by assembly, the following parts:
- article footwear must be understood any type of shoe, for example sport, leisure, outdoor type sandal, or a classic shoe that can be worn with a suit.
- the ventilation at the bottom of the shoe avoids excessive plantar warming and maintains a low level of moisture in the sole
- the structure of the base of the shoe in different soles, with different materials and variable porosities keeps the debris and dust out of the shoe while allowing air and moisture to pass through, the multilayer structure being particularly effective for this,
- the shoe is adapted to contain from its manufacture a sole and a set of materials providing significant cushioning of shocks, it is not necessary for the walker to add, as is the case most of the time today, an additional soleplate to ensure a satisfactory damping of the shock wave that echoes during the stride of the heel to the spine.
- Figure 1 is a sectional view of the footwear according to the invention.
- the footwear as described below comprises a low structure, that is to say located between the foot and the ground when the shoe is worn, formed by several superimposed soles, preferably at least three.
- a shoe structure manufactured by assembling several sewn or glued layers is known per se.
- the upper part of the boot, the upper, which constitutes the footwear is formed in the traditional way by textile pieces sewn and glued together and having an opening on the front face so as to allow lacing, in a conventional manner.
- FIG. 1 Such a shoe is shown in Figure 1 with the different soles constituting the invention.
- the article of footwear is characterized in that each of the soles is perforated and able to pass water and air, and that each sole is made of a washable synthetic material.
- Air and water can flow, as indicated by the arrow in Figure 1, between the outside and inside of the shoe, and in the opposite direction, through the soles.
- a midsole 2 a molded insole 3 removable and shock absorbing preferably formed in two layers.
- the outsole 1 comprises at least two openings or slots, and preferably a set of openings and slots of reduced dimensions, typically the length of the openings and slots can be from 2 to 300 millimeters and the width must be limited to 8 millimeters maximum to avoid the passage of pebbles.
- This reduced size allows air and water to pass through but prevents debris and gravel from clogging the openings.
- the openings or slots are made in the recessed portions 4 of the outer sole 1,
- the outsole is advantageously made of a rigid and abrasion-resistant material such as EVA neoprene or polyurethane, or a combination of these materials.
- the outsole is reinforced in the wear zones by rubber parts optionally reinforced with carbon. This composition thus provides better shock absorption while providing durability through rubber parts.
- the geometry of the openings and slots included in the soleplate is preferably defined so that air and water can pass optimally while preventing objects or pebbles from penetrating through the outsole.
- the choice of the geometry of the slots takes into account the needs of natural movements of the foot, facilitating the necessary bending movements on such a shoe.
- the geometry also takes into account the overall strength of the sole to prevent too many slots positioned in the wrong places weaken the outsole.
- the size and shape of the slits are designed to prevent the beginning of a tear of the soleplate that can worsen as and when use.
- the intermediate sole 2 is preferably composed of at least one, and advantageously by assembly, the following parts:
- Said mesh membrane 6 is glued and sewn to the outsole 1 in the case of its use alone.
- the mesh membrane 5 allows air and water an optimal passage while protecting the foot pebbles and other external objects.
- the bonding of one or the other membrane on the outsole is made in such a way that the glue is not coated on the part of the membrane that matches the openings and slots of the outsole so as not to clog the perforations of the membrane.
- the mesh membrane 6 makes it possible, for aesthetic and protective reasons, to cover the mesh membrane 5 while providing comfort to the wearer.
- This midsole also makes it possible, if necessary, to insert between the two membranes latex parts, or a gel, or any other material allowing better absorption of shocks and / or a distribution of shock waves, and more generally of integrate inserts to optimize the comfort of the shoe.
- the insole 3 in contact with the foot comprises the following two layers:
- the upper layer 8 of textile is treated to reduce the formation of bacteria and odors.
- the treatment can be performed after the manufacture of the textile or the textile fiber itself before weaving.
- This textile part can evacuate perspiration.
- This insole 3 is designed to improve comfort and shock absorption, it is advantageously molded and composed of EVA with according to the needs of the bonded parts in latex, gel, etc. to improve the shock absorption characteristics. and / or comfort. It is obviously totally perforated.
- the upper part of the shoe, its top 9, is made with perforated fabrics made of washable synthetic material so as to let moisture and heat escape from the top, in the usual way.
- the article of footwear may include different materials even if the synthetic materials mentioned are preferred, the thicknesses of the different soles and constituent layers may be variable without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the number and size of the perforations in each sole can be chosen in a wide range and adjusted according to the materials used, the positioning, the geometry and the size of the perforations can be performed in several configurations without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the shoe can obviously include different lacing modes on its top, different coatings and reinforcements without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the different soles and layers can be adjusted together according to various techniques known in the field, without exclusivity, for example by gluing or sewing.
