Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a shoe comprising the steps of: arranging a material for constituting a sole covering layer within a first die that has a first receptacle with a shape that is complementary to a shape of a sole plantar insert, while retaining a perimetric edge of said material so as to protrude from the first receptacle; performing hot compression with a first plug, which is shaped complementarily to the shape of the first receptacle of said first die, on said covering layer material so as to obtain a preformed covering layer; removing from the first die and thereafter arranging the preformed covering layer in a second die with a second receptacle; inserting a compound in a liquid, prior-to-expansion state within said second receptacle over said preformed covering layer, said compound for constituting the plantar insert; arranging at least one covering flap of a sole above the plantar insert, so that a lateral border of said sole protrudes from a contour of the plantar insert; performing cold compression, with a second plug, and causing a mutual adhesion of the perimetric edge of the covering layer and of the border of the at least one covering flap, whereby to form an assembly; extracting from the second die the assembly constituted by the covering layer, the plantar insert, and the at least one flap; mutually coupling a lower portion of an upper to a perimetric outline of said assembly, said outline being constituted by a coupling of said perimetric edge and of said border; and rigidly coupling below said assembly a bottom made of wear-resistant material.
