Patent ID: 10231512

Abstract:
A three-layered shoe construction having a slotted outsole with two different types of oval shaped projections, one set of oval projections with channels and one set of oval projections with a non-skid texture, the oval projections with channels creating flow channels to guide liquid off the outer surface of the outsole and the oval projections with a non-skid texture providing traction; a dual density midsole having a first density in the forefoot area and a second density in the hind foot area, the second density being greater than the first density; and an insole having a plurality of apertures that extend from a terminal end of the toe area and cover the rest of the top face except for the arch portion, the toe and arch areas of the insole being substantially smooth. The specific construction associated with the outsole, midsole and insole enhance traction, flexibility, cushioning, comfort, and breathability.
