Description

Article of footwear with improved structure

Technical field

The present invention relates to such as footwear or the article of footwear of any equivalent product.Article of footwear can be used for some fields such as walking, level land or Mountain region race, roller sliding plate, ball game, low land skiing, Halfpipe, snowshoe, cycling or other in.

Background technology

Article of footwear should have various, sometimes conflicting functions, such as guarantee enough fastenings and/or the guarantor of foot Hold, while providing gratifying comfortableness for foot.Article of footwear should also have certain pliability, and this performance is to coincide Foot some deformation superperformance.In other words, article of footwear should fit, and be that foot retains walking or is engaged in relevant physical culture fortune Dynamic necessary freedom of action.

To such end it is known that making article of footwear such as footwear by coupling upper of a shoe and sole.Upper of a shoe generally comprises many components, such as outer Lateral areas block, inner side block, vamp, tongue piece, heel, backsight, front protection packet header, particular with the tight of multiple zone circles and a shoestring It is fixedly mounted with and puts, liner and or even also has other components.Additionally, some of them component may include some.Subject matter in footwear It is to make cutting and keep flat the component of assembling to fit together and three-dimensionally shaped.It is known that upper of a shoe is connected in assembling sole, with Limit a footwear element.According to first method, upper of a shoe is bonded on assembling sole by glue-line.The also referred to as middle bottom of assembling sole (premiere de montage), rigidity are higher, to tolerate linkage editor.Will shoe tree insert upper of a shoe in, drawing upper of a shoe so that Upper of a shoe is close on middle bottom to carry out gluing.This is referred to as assembling method on traditional shoe tree.The technique allows to apply during glue is heated Fill up enough pressure to obtain the footwear element.Second method is also known, is by upper of a shoe is solid using suture It is connected to middle bottom to make the footwear element.This is referred to as Strobel assembling methods.Here, middle bottom is flexible bottom, can be sutured, Referred to as Strobel (middle base fabric) sole.For the every kind of method in the first and second method, middle bottom constitutes sole A part.Sole also includes external member, such as one or more cushions and the wearing layer for contacting ground, these layers It is general to be fixed on the middle bottom and upper of a shoe being assembled together on shoe tree by splicing.Sole also includes one or more internal layers, interior Layer is arranged in footwear element, to play the defencive function in health care, buffering, arch of foot holding or other side.Finally, footwear unit Part is connected and forms footwear with other constituting partss of sole.

Can be observed, regardless of the method for making footwear, all there are some defects according to the footwear of prior art.It is first First, footwear need many components of quantity, and the number of components is typically between 40 to six ten.Because the number of components for constituting footwear is more, So manufacturing process quantity is more, the time made required for these components is also long.Footwear are made, 40 minutes are generally required To 30 minutes one hour.It can be said that, complicated according to the footwear that traditional handicraft makes, because its constituting parts quantity is more, together When manufacturing process quantity it is also many.

Another defect comes from the discontinuity of footwear structure, especially at upper of a shoe.For example, undersized component is stacked and placed on another Larger component, changes the bending property of the upper of a shoe at position residing for primary structural component sometimes to a great extent.Sometimes, this can make and making User is uncomfortable, makes upper of a shoe be more difficult to molding, that is, is more difficult to three-dimensionally shaped.

Another defect comes from.This shows that foot does not contact upper of a shoe at some positions Or sole.It is especially true at some parts of the joint between upper of a shoe and middle bottom.Therefore foot and footwear are observed sometimes Between there is out of season displacement, this displacement be probably cause the source of uncomfortable or wound by.Sometimes, in shoe mouth, Between foot, ankle or shank bottom and upper of a shoe, also there is space.Therefore, foreign body may be accidentally entered in footwear.

Finally, it may be said that, it is not enough fastenings and/or the guarantor that can guarantee foot according to the footwear of prior art Hold, or foot can not be always supplied to gratifying comfortableness.All changes of foot additionally, this footwear can not be fitted all the time Shape.

By comparison, the applicant proposed another kind of method for making article of footwear.

For example, according to document FR 2 999 881, article of footwear includes one or two cladding, and each cladding is in length On extend to front end from rear end, on width between outer side edges and inner side edge extend, extend to upper end from bottom in height, Each cladding includes silk thread mechanically connected to each other.

It is that three-dimensional composition shapes that cladding is three-dimensional：Cladding is arranged on shoe tree, so as to cladding has be very similar to The geometry of foot geometry, thus cladding fairly evenly coincide foot.Foot contact cladding is this means, or Person is at least very close to cladding.Therefore, foot is uniformly kept, and few generation accident position between foot and cladding Move, even without any displacement.Thus the advantage brought is the footwear with respect to traditional prior art, and article of footwear relaxes Adaptive is improved.

Have also been observed that each cladding has structural continuity from according to the arrangement of document FR 2 999 881, because Inner surface and/or its outer surface for cladding is at least substantially neat, or even completely neat.Hence it is advantageous to, user compares It is comfortable, or even a little uncomfortable sensation does not have yet.

Comprehensive foregoing teachings show that cladding keeps foot and brings gratifying comfortableness for foot.Additionally, each The identical foot deformities of cladding physical ability.This is made according to the article of footwear of document FR 2 999 881 under any circumstance, either static Or it is under dynamic, all very comfortable.

Additionally, by the arrangement according to document FR 2 999 881 it is further observed that, make article of footwear the number of components It is few.

The content of the invention

By comparison, the present invention generally makes every effort to further improve article of footwear.More precisely, the present invention for example wants to improve Transmission, the release on ground or apparatus counteracting force or the perception of sensory information of manipulation impulse force.The present invention is made every effort to using effect Rate optimization, makes every effort to reduce the feeling of fatigue of user.The present invention also makes every effort to respond the specific demand of user, while keeping its base This performance such as comfortableness and foot keep.In the case where seeking to support or transmit fierce information, for example, performing physical exercises When, this is real challenge.In fact, the optimization and comfortableness in active force transmission is theoretically conflicting general Read.

In order to solve foregoing problems, the present invention proposes a kind of article of footwear, and article of footwear includes the first cladding, the first cladding Front end is extended to from rear end in length, is extended between outer side edges and inner side edge on width, extended from bottom in height To upper end, the first cladding includes the silk thread of mutual mechanical connection, and the first cladding defines foot and receives space, article of footwear also to wrap The second cladding is included, the second cladding extends to front end from rear end in length, on width between outer side edges and inner side edge Extending, upper end being extended to from bottom in height, the second cladding includes the silk thread of mutual mechanical connection, and the second cladding is defined Foot receives space, the first cladding and the second cladding arrangement facing with each other.

Article of footwear of the invention is characterised by that, at an at least branch, article of footwear includes reversible elastic variable The folder of shape inserts component, and folder is inserted component and is arranged between the first cladding and the second cladding.

This can give article of footwear and have one or more property at given position.For example, at the upper end of cladding, As will be discussed in more detail below, it can be tongue piece to press from both sides slotting component.Or at the bottom, also as will be discussed in more detail below, folder inserts component can be with It is a sole portion.In each case, pressing from both sides slotting component allows its cladding body portion for being faced to carry out relative movement.Because folder Slotting component can be flexibly extruded with reversible manner, thus folder is inserted component and the relevant part of cladding can be made closer to each other, for example When by special stress, then to recover its natural distance of separation.The distance inserts the thickness of component corresponding to folder.By squeezing Pressure, folder insert component along a part of compression stress of direction dissipation in addition to the direction of component is inserted perpendicular to the folder, so as to extenuate this A little active forces.In other words, press from both sides component increase is inserted from article of footwear using relevant active force, different impacts or sensory information Transmission area.This has the advantages that to improve article of footwear comfortableness.Surprisingly, the transmission of active force, impact or information Will not be changed.Therefore, the present invention successfully causes article of footwear both comfortable simultaneously and accurate in use.This can improve user Sports achievement, reduces its feeling of fatigue.

First embodiment is illustrated by Fig. 1 to 10 below.

As illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, article of footwear 1 is provided for receiving the foot of user.Hereinafter it is adapted to consider that article of footwear 1 is A kind of footwear, even if its structure is entirely unusual, behind will be described in detail.Therefore, the L along the longitudinal direction in length of footwear 1 Between rear end or heel 4 and front end or toe-cap 5 extend, on width in transverse direction W between outer side edges 6 and inner side edge 7 Extend.

As illustrated, footwear 1 are included for the low portion 10 around foot, without any upper part.But, it is optional Ground, it is also possible to which consideration includes a kind of footwear of low portion and upper part simultaneously, upper part is used for around ankle, alternatively goes back Around shank bottom.

According to described first embodiment, footwear 1 extend to upper end 13 from bottom 12 in height, that is, extend to bottom portion Divide 10 free end or the free end of footwear 1.Bottom is foot supporting footwear branch thereon.

Footwear 1 are configured to allow for foot and are well unfolded during walking, transmit sensory information and impulse force, for propping up Hold or receive.This is also why footwear 1 or to be located the reason for relatively soft article of footwear.

As described in detail below, footwear 1 include the first cladding 21, the first cladding in length along the longitudinal direction L from Rear end 24 extends to front end 25, and on width, W extends between outer side edges 26 and inner side edge 27 in transverse direction, in height from Bottom 28 extends to upper end 29.This allows the first cladding to surround and keep the foot of user.For its composition, the first bag Covering body includes silk thread mechanically connected to each other, as described later.Therefore, for the first cladding, at least a portion silk thread include to A few thermo-fuse, also as described later.

According to first embodiment, in a non limiting manner, including the silk of the first cladding of an at least thermo-fuse Line is distributed on whole first cladding 21, and silk thread is melted in sizable scope, according to its quantity, closeness, is contributed to The intensity of the first cladding and/or cementing property and/or corrosion resistance.In fact, silk thread melting has the first cladding 21 leading to Cross and itself keep the first performance for coating shape.It may be said that, on the one hand, the first cladding 21 is single piece, on the other hand, First cladding can form self-supporting component, in sizable scope, according to the quantity/closeness of silk thread, its shape be assigned Give footwear.Therefore, the first cladding 21 gives or contributes to giving its shape to footwear 1.In other words, the rear end of the first cladding 24th, front end 25, outer side edges 26, inner side edge 27, bottom 28 and upper end 29 limit the rear end 4 of article of footwear or footwear 1, front end 5, outer respectively Side 6, inner side edge 7, bottom 12 and upper end 13.As will be seen that below, for the bottom line structure adopted by cladding 21 Guarantee simplification, portability and many other advantages.

Without limitation, according further to the first embodiment of the present invention, footwear 1 also include the second cladding 31, the second bag L extends to front end 35 from rear end 34 along the longitudinal direction in length to cover body, on width in transverse direction W outer side edges 36 with it is interior Extend between side 37, upper end 39 is extended to from bottom 38 in height.Second cladding 31 is such also like the first cladding 21 Cover foot.Second cladding 31 is arranged in the outside of the first cladding 21, therefore covers indirectly foot.Finally, the shape of footwear 1 Shape is given by the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31 simultaneously.First cladding 21 and the second cladding 31 enter facing with each otherly Row arrangement.

Still in the design of the present invention, the second cladding 31 includes silk thread mechanically connected to each other.Here still, for Two claddings, at least a portion silk thread include at least one thermo-fuse, as described later.Including the silk thread point of an at least thermo-fuse On whole second cladding 31, silk thread is melted in sizable scope cloth, according to its quantity, its closeness, contributes to The intensity of two claddings and/or cementing property and/or corrosion resistance.Here still, melting gives the second cladding 31 with by which Second performance for coating shape is kept itself.It may be said that, on the one hand, the second cladding 31 is single piece, on the other hand, second Cladding can form self-supporting component, in sizable scope, according to the quantity/closeness of silk thread, give footwear by its shape. Therefore, the second cladding 31 also gives or contributes to giving its shape to making footwear 1.In other words, the rear end of the second cladding 31 34th, front end 35, outer side edges 36, inner side edge 37, bottom 38 and upper end 39 also limit respectively the rear end 4 of article of footwear or footwear 1, front end 5, Outer side edges 6, inner side edge 7, bottom 12 and upper end 13.As will be seen that below, for the bottom line structure that cladding 31 is adopted Guarantee simplification, lighting and many other advantages.

In order to preferably illustrate the characteristic of the present invention, it is useful to describe cladding 21,31 in detail and how to make.This is rear Face is explained to 7 particular by Fig. 3.

Such as example appreciable in figure 3 first, schematically, the acquisition of each cladding 21,31 is by system Making cylinder 41 is carried out, i.e., in fact make the flexible pipe formed by silk thread mechanically connected to each other.Cylinder 41 is for making The blank of article of footwear 1.Without limitation, with first embodiment relatively, cylinder 41 allows to make the first cladding 21 simultaneously With the second cladding 31.Cylinder 41 extends to the second end 43 from first end 42 in length.First end 42 uses people in the art Any technology known to member is closed, the bag that for example suture, increase are formed by silk thread mechanically connected to each other after folding Head or any equivalent way.Second end 43 is then simply open.

Cylinder 41 can be observed and can make all-in-one-piece cladding 21,31.Here, the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31 mutually extend.Making is this simplifies, while the number of components is reduced, the time needed for making also shortens.

Illustrate by Fig. 5 and 6 make cylinder 41, thus make cladding 21,31 used by silk thread engagement.Typically examine Consider silk thread mechanically connected to each other, such as with any appropriate textile technology is such as knitting, weaving, weave or other are carrying out silk thread phase It is inter-engaging.In the case of knitting, single needle bed or crosspointer bed circular weaving machine, cylinder faceplate type loom or flat pattern pin can be used Loom.Two knitting areas can be coupled to each other with Intarsia (embossing) techniques or with anglicanum.Different decorative patterns Can when knitting with Intarsia (embossing) method, embroidering method, Jacquard (jacquard weave) techniques or other directly obtaining.Figure 5 represent traditional weaving, and wherein the first silk thread 44 is oriented in the first direction, and the second silk thread 45 is oriented in a second direction, first Line 44 and the second silk thread 45 interweave with forming flexible knitmesh.Fig. 6 then illustrates knitting technology, here, three silk threads 46,47,48 with The coil arrangement that mutually string covers.But, of course, it is possible to there is many other arrangements.

Cylinder 41 is for example made with flatbed knitting machine, and flatbed knitting machine allows to change section, i.e., actually change cylinder Diameter, it is allowed to change the shape for heel, it is allowed to be provided for the opening that shoestring passes through, it is allowed to change the density of barrel wall, Or especially change the tautness of little bracelet.In fact, flatbed knitting machine provides wide range of adjustment possibility, which is fitted No matter for the cylinder for making all sizes diametrically or in length.For this purpose, flatbed knitting machine is more practical than circular weaving machine.It is real On border, circular weaving machine is processed in the smaller range in terms of barrel diameter.Therefore, it is necessary to be made using multiple different circular weaving machines Into sleeve body 41, i.e., wherein with all sizes into overshoes, and it is sufficient that to this single flatbed knitting machine.Finally, flat pattern Knitting machine allows to make one or more three-dimensional cladding with all required features and required size.

It is whatever useful to refer to that the silk thread under meaning of the present invention is.

First, silk thread can be monofilament, such as by such as polyamide, polyurethane, polyethylene or any equivalent or similar material The hot melt synthetic material extrusion molding of material is obtained.In the way of knitting the spider's thread similar to Aranea, the production of silk is carried out continuously.In passing , it is noted that in the sense that the cross section of silk is uniform, silk can be single group sub-wire or single material silk.But, silk can also It is multigroup sub-wire, such as bi-component silk.In this case, the cross section of silk shows the core body being made up of the first material and surrounds The surrounding cladding layers of core body, covering are made up of the second material.Every kind of material is heat-fusible, or only a kind of material is heat-fusible.If two Plant material all heat-fusible, then, its melt temperature is also different.

Then, silk thread can be multifibres.In this case, which is engaged and formed by multiple.This engagement is by illustrating Fig. 7 is illustrated.Here, all have per root silk under the meaning of identical fusing point, all silks 49 have identical property.But, can examine Consider combination silk of different nature, some of them silk is fusible and some other, and silk is not fusible, or these fusing point is different.With Any already known processes are engaged with each other these silks.

Silk thread is realized in the form of a fibrous web can also.Here, fiber is the silk of limited length.With any known technology, especially Which is to make fibre compact contact with twisting and be bonded together to form fleece.Fiber is mutual to be kept conventionally by friction Carry out, especially carry out with the friction of natural fiber such as cotton.But, for the present invention, the holding each other of fiber or Carried out by friction, or by friction with melting adhesive composition carrying out, or carried out by adhering to completely because this Bright use hot melt material.

The structure of cylinder 41 has been illustrated in general mode, can further illustrate using cylinder to make below Footwear 1.But, in advance, in order to keep the design of first embodiment, it might be useful to which article of footwear to be illustrated 1 or footwear include strengthening Part 51.To be more clearly visible that the reinforcement is engaged in cladding 21,31 by nesting, to give footwear when footwear 1 are made below With property.

As shown in Fig. 1,2 and 8, reinforcement 51 is such component：Which extends to front end 55 from rear end 54 in length, Extend between outer side edges 56 and inner side edge 57 on width, upper end 59 is extended to from bottom 58 in height.Reinforcement 51 has Length and width similar to cladding 21,31 length and width.More precisely, reinforcement 51 and 21 phase of the first cladding Guan Di, extends to front end 25 from rear end 24 in length, extends, Yi Ji on width between outer side edges 26 and inner side edge 27 Extend from bottom 28 to upper end 29 on height.According to its definition, this allows to reinforce the first cladding 21, thus reinforces article of footwear 1, Especially reinforced at bottom 12 with bottom periphery.

Non-mandatorily, reinforcement 51 carries clamp device 61.Clamp device for example includes multiple at upper end 59 Zone circle 62, and a shoestring 63 and locking device 64, they are all well known by persons skilled in the art.Therefore, can fasten or Person unclamps reinforcement 51, so as to fasten or unclamp footwear 1, as will be become apparent from showing below.So-called zone circle 62, refers to for footwear Any device that band is passed through, slided.Locking device is optional, can replace it with simple knot on the shoe lace.

In particular, for first embodiment, reinforcement 51 include bottom 58, at least one lateral branches 65, At least one inner branch 67, and at least one shoestring 63, lateral branches 65 along the direction away from bottom from bottom to from Extended by end 66, free end 66 has zone circle 62, inner branch 67 prolongs to free end 68 along the direction away from bottom from bottom Stretch, free end 68 has zone circle 62, shoestring 63 is walked via zone circle.Without limitation, reinforcement 51 includes four lateral branches 65 and four inner branch 67.But, these quantity can be respectively different.Each branch 65,67 is also appeared with a zone circle, Zone circle is split into any technique known to existing technical staff.Finally, the reinforcement for being combined with clamp device allows equably tight Gu cladding 21,31, thus equably fasten foot.

Especially for the comfortableness optimization for making article of footwear 1, especially as understood by Fig. 1 and 2,65 He of lateral branches Inner branch 67 is at least partially disposed between the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31, and zone circle 62 is arranged in the first cladding The outside of body 21, also is disposed on the outside of the second cladding 31.

According to the present invention, as understood that article of footwear can including reversible elasticity at an at least branch by Fig. 1 to 10 The folder of deformation inserts component 71, and folder is inserted component 71 and is arranged between the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31.As being commonly seen, This is related to allow the Liang Ge branches facing with each other of cladding 21,31 relatively close, even if folder is inserted component and separates their local. Folder inserts component proportionally to be compressed using relevant active force with article of footwear, extensive to press from both sides slotting component when active force disappears Multiple its original depth.So, press from both sides and insert component and absorb the part of compression energy applied to which, and also along perpendicular Dissipate the part of the compression energy in direction beyond direction.This reduces specified pressure at cladding, with better Comfortableness.

It is related to the first embodiment of the present invention, the slotting component 71 of folder is elongated, for downward in fastening/fastening system Stretch, to protect the instep of user, therefore press from both sides one tongue piece of slotting component restriction.Tongue piece 71 is positioned at the first cladding 21 and the second bag Cover at the upper end 29,39 of body 31, tongue piece 71 extends to front end 75 from rear end 74 in length, on width outer side edges 76 with it is interior Extend between side 77, extend between bottom 78 and top 79 on thickness.Here, which is related to improve article of footwear in cladding Comfortableness at upper end.For the user, the top of exactly foot is that instep and/or carpus are more preferably protected.

In this example, the rear end 74 of tongue piece is wider, so as to give tongue piece with substantially t-shaped shape.Tongue piece can also have There is uniform rectangular-shaped, important is that tongue piece extends under fastening system, according to circumstances in terms of feature, portability and aesthetic property Obtain and coordinate.

Tongue piece also for example can only have aesthetic function with other functions in addition to the function.It is also possible to consider tongue piece Only extend in the case where part (except zone circle) is fastened, so as to instep can be protected all the time.

As understood particular by Fig. 3 and 4, in this example, the rear end 74 of tongue piece 71 be fixed on the first cladding 21 and/ Or second cladding 31, most of tongue piece remainder then separated with the first cladding 21 and/or the second cladding 31. Hence in so that the rear end 74 of tongue piece is fixed relative at least one cladding, remainder is that middle body and front end 75 can Enter line slip relative to cladding.This facilitates article of footwear buckling, so that foot is preferably unfolded.Additionally, should be clear and definite Be, rear end it is connected in any suitable manner as be glued or any equivalent or auxiliary process carry out.Be connected it is available it is any its He is carried out mode.

In one embodiment, the rear end 74 of tongue piece is fixed on two claddings 21,31, so as to also reach in terms of aesthetic property To perfection.

With reference to Fig. 1 and 2, it can be seen that at least one zone circle 62 is arranged in the top of tongue piece 71.In fact, according to but it is unrestricted The first embodiment of property, all zone circles are arranged in the top of tongue piece.This is related to make comfortableness optimization.In fact, for this When the device 61 of configuration applies tightening action, it is that all zone circles 62 are born against on foot by tongue piece.Certainly, fastening system also may be used With implementing in the way of different, such as to implement by aperture.

In order to work under the conditions of preferably, tongue piece 71 includes elastically deformable layer of composite material.The layer can be second Alkene-acetate ethylene copolymer (EVA) foam plasticss, polyurethane foam plastics, polyethylene foamss or identical work(can be played Any other material of energy.The tongue piece can include some, such as multilamellar being arranged with respect to one another with appropriate mode, Tongue piece can also include natural material such as cork or any equivalent material.

Still without limitation, according to a kind of embodiment, at least one of the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31 At the outer side edges 76 of tongue piece 71 and/or inner side edge 77, with pleated portions 81,82,83,84.Here, more precisely, first Cladding 21 has outside pleated portions 81 and inner folds portion 82, and the second cladding 31 also has outside pleated portions 83 and inner side pleat Wrinkle portion 84.These pleated portions allow to change the wear shoes space of article of footwear, because they cause the geometry of cladding 21,31 can Change.In other words, pleated portions facilitate and wear shoes and take off one's shoes, and disappear once these pleated portions during foot is enclosed within footwear.

It is used for making footwear 1 now according to placket body 41 for Fig. 9 and 10.In fact, the constituting parts hand assembled of footwear 1 is one Rise, without the need for complicated and expensive machinery in the prior art.

Using Fig. 9 and 10 it will be appreciated that cylinder 41 is sleeved on the component 86 of referred to as shoe tree, shoe tree exactly likes user foot Portion.Cylinder is abutted on shoe tree 86, just as socks are enclosed within foot.Cylinder 41 is configured to by shoe tree 86 by means of its elasticity Shape, the elasticity constitute generation by its weaving.Then, reinforcement 51 be nested in cylinder 41 will become the first cladding 21 point In portion.Then, cylinder 41 is folded to the branch for becoming the second cladding 31 on reinforcement 51, thus cover reinforcement and Belong to the branch of the first cladding.This be enough to constitute the sub-component around foot of footwear 1, and the sub-component is final including the first bag Cover body 21, reinforcement 51, the second cladding 31 and tongue piece 71.To be drawn attention in passing, the second cladding 31 has to be used for The eyelet 87 of the free end 66,68 of the lateral branches 65 and inner branch 67 of reinforcement 51.Then only need to be with any appropriate work Skill makes sub-component heat up, and is melted with the thermo-fuse for just making cladding at desired area, so as to give footwear 1 with its geometry. After heating, shoe tree 86 can be extracted out from sub-component.Footwear 1 then almost complete.According to first embodiment, need to be only should Footwear increase outsole 88.

As appreciable in Fig. 1 and 2, article of footwear 1 or footwear include outsole 88.Outsole is used for supporting on the ground, Therefore, it is configured to rub resistance abrasion and is additionally operable to slow down vibrations.Thus, for example, outsole includes wearing layer 89 and cushion 90.Fig. 2 be footwear for receive arch of foot region in drawing in side sectional elevation, on Fig. 2 it can be seen that, bottom 12 has nonplanar Geometry, the geometry are roughly the same with the geometry of above-mentioned arch of foot.As saying, 1 thing of footwear of the invention Can be fitted on real type.Therefore, it is that footwear 1 increase and copy the insole of arch of foot or vola other parts profile not to be essential , even if this is useful.Accordingly, with respect to according to footwear of the prior art, footwear of the invention 1 are this simplifies.This Make footwear 1 light, thus reduce machinery inertial.Thus the advantage brought is to improve sports performance.According to the present invention Footwear be for example very suitable for long-distance runner.

Fig. 2 also shows that reinforcement 51 is almost completely positioned between the first cladding 21 and the second cladding 31.
