Description
This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/915,216, entitled Climate Configurable Sole and Shoe, filed on Jul. 25, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,817,112, which application incorporates by reference, and claims priority to and the benefit of, German patent application serial number 10036100.5, which was filed on Jul. 25, 2000.
The technical development of shoes, in particular sport shoes, has advanced in recent years. Presently, shoe constructions can be adapted to accommodate the mechanical stresses arising on a wearer's foot during different kinds of sporting activities and provide a high degree of functionality and wearing comfort. In spite of these developments, it was not possible to manufacture shoes that, in addition to providing damping and support for the foot, also provide a comfortable climate for the foot. For example, the use of foamed plastic materials, which is common in modem sports shoes, prevents heat and humidity from being sufficiently transported away from the foot to efficiently avoid a hot feeling, an unpleasant odor, or a risk of diseases of the foot. These disadvantages present a severe problem in the case of sports shoes. Because of the increased physical activity during sporting activities, more heat and humidity arise in the foot area within the shoe. For this reason, there are different approaches to provide ventilation and removal of sweat from the foot area within the shoe.
A sole 100 in accordance with the invention is shown in FIG. 1A. The sole 100 includes a support layer 10 arranged below an insole layer 1 and an outsole layer 30 arranged below the support layer 10. The insole layer 1 includes a plurality of openings 2, 3 and can act as a cushioning layer for the sole 100. The support layer 10 may be reinforced from below by a support element 20. Alternatively, the support layer 10 may include a plurality of support elements 20 located at various locations along the sole 100. The outsole layer 30 shown includes a forefoot part 31 and a rearfoot part 32. Alternatively, the outsole layer 30 may include additional sole elements. A tread layer 40 may be provided directly below the outsole layer 30 to improve traction. The tread layer 40 includes a front part 41, which corresponds to the forefoot part 31 of the outsole layer 30 and a rear part 42 that corresponds to the rearfoot part 32 of the outsole layer 30. The outsole layer 30 may also include a cushioning layer 70. FIGS. 3 and 4 depict the sole 100 assembled, as indicated by the dashed arrows in FIG. 1A. In addition, an upper 102 of a shoe 101 can be attached to the sole 100, as best seen in FIG. 11.
Referring to FIGS. 1A, 3, and 4, the support layer 10, together with the additional support element 20, forms a frame or chassis around which the shoe 101 is built. The support layer 10, in part, determines the mechanical properties of the shoe in which it is used, such as the response of the shoe to loads arising during a particular sport. The support layer 10 includes a forefoot part 21 having a generally planar shape and a rearfoot part 22 that three-dimensionally encompasses the heel of a wearer's foot, thereby providing support. In one particular embodiment, the support layer 10 extends into the heel region 6 and the ball region 7 of the sole 100 to withstand particularly high mechanical loading on shoes in these areas during repeated ground contact and push-off motions. In addition, a plurality of openings 11 can be arranged in the toe region 9 and/or the arch region 8 of the sole 100 so as not to degrade the support provided by the support layer 10. Additional longitudinal supports 13 can be used to reinforce the stability of the support layer 10 in the toe region 9, and struts 14 can be used to reinforce the support layer 10 in the arch region 8. In addition, lateral flanges 24 can be provided on the support layer 10 with openings 12 to contribute to ventilation of the interior of the shoe 101.
The support element 20 can be manufactured in any of the manners and materials as described hereinabove for the support layer 10. Although in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the support layer 10 and the support element 20 are shown as separate components of the sole 100, an integrated alternative is possible. For example, the support layer 10 and any support elements 20 can be produced as an integral component by dual injection molding.
Referring again to FIGS. 1A, 3, and 4, the outsole layer 30 is positioned below the support layer 10 and any additional support elements 20. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the outsole layer 30 includes a forefoot part 31 and a rearfoot part 32. The weight of the shoe 101 is reduced by the absence of any outsole material in the arch region 8 of the sole 100. In addition, large recesses or openings 33, 34, 35 are disposed in the outsole layer 30 to facilitate the dispersion of the hot and humid air from the interior of the shoe 101 via the openings 11, 12 in the support layer 10 to the outside air. Essentially, the openings 33, 34, 35 do not affect the damping properties of the outsole layer 30. The openings 33, 34, 35 are positioned such that they generally correspond with the openings 11, 12 of the supporting layer 10; however, the openings 33, 34, 35 can be positioned to accommodate a particular application.
FIG. 11 depicts a shoe 101 and sock 103 assembly according to one aspect of the invention. The shoe 101 includes an upper 102 and a sole 100 in accordance with the invention. The upper 102 can be a reinforced mesh material that includes bands or members 108 that are anchored to the sole 100. The members 108 can provide the structural support for the lacing system 65. The upper 102 can be attached to an edge of the sole's support layer 10 by gluing, stitching, or other suitable techniques. Alternatively, the upper 102 can be any known type or configuration of an upper. The upper 102 shown includes a lacing system 65, which can be any conventional lacing system, such as laces or a hook and loop type fastener, such as the Velcro® brand sold by Velcro Industries B.V. The special sock 103 functions to improve the climate properties of the shoe 101 when used in combination with the sole 100. The sock 10,3, together with the sole 100, forms an overall system that determines the thermophysiological conditions a foot is subjected to. These conditions are defined by the heat and steam transmission resistances, the steam or water absorption/emission, and the friction forces of the surfaces of the sock and the shoe.
