Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a midsole for an article of footwear includes placing first and second preforms in a first mold, closing and heating the first mold to produce a midsole preform with a peripheral preform flange, removing the midsole preform from the first mold and allowing it to further expand and cool, placing the midsole preform in a second mold, with a volume of a midsole recess of the second mold being less than a volume of the midsole preform, and a volume of a peripheral recess of the second mold being less than a volume of the peripheral preform flange, closing the second mold thereby compressing the midsole preform and the peripheral preform flange, and heating the second mold to form a midsole with a peripheral flange, allowing the second mold to cool, opening the second mold, and cutting away a peripheral flange of the midsole.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein a depth and width of the peripheral overflow chamber are uniform around the peripheral edge of the mold recess, and the depth of the peripheral overflow chamber is uniform across its entire width extending out from the peripheral edge of the mold recess.
