When wearing 10 object of footwear, when contact of the wearer due to the weight of wearer and with floor surface and on shoes When applying pressure, the shape of outer bottom 20 is changeable.Permissible first and second ground contacting surfaces 42 of shape change of outer bottom 20, Both 54 become and ground face contact.More specifically, the second tyre surface 50 is configured in unsupported position (as illustrated in figs.3-5) and bears It carries and is moved between position (as shown in Figure 8).In unsupported position, the first tyre surface 40 is arranged on the first ground first distance D1( The distance between face contact surface 42 and base portion 22) at, and the second tyre surface 50 is arranged in the second ground second distance D2(face contact The distance between surface 54 and base portion 22) at.It unsupported position and tyre surface 40,50 and outer bottom 20 unsupported and/or does not wear Position is associated.
The weight of the wearer of 10 object of footwear causes both first and second tyre surfaces 40,50 to compress and is moved upwards up to negative Carry position.In load situation, the first and second ground contacting surfaces 42,54 are mobile towards base portion 22, so that first distance D1 It is reduced to third distance D3, and second distance D2 is reduced to the 4th distance D4, as shown in Figure 8.It should be understood that the first tire The compression in face 40 can be the density at least partially due to the weight of wearer and the first material.Correspondingly, unsupported first Difference between distance D1 and the third distance D3 of load may not be significant or violent.
Second tyre surface 50 be configured to when 54 ground-engaging surface of the second ground contacting surface towards base portion 22 individually to Upper movement.Second tyre surface 50 is at least partly moved upwards up to load situation in indsole 18, as shown in Figure 8.In load byte In setting, the second tyre surface 50 includes at least flange 56 in each second tyre surface 50() above region at least partially compress indsole 18, the second tyre surface 50 is moved upwards up to the 4th distance D4 from second distance D2.Additionally, around each second tyre surface 50 Channel 60 is that outer bottom 20 provides the flexibility of localization, so that each second tyre surface 50 can be more easily towards base portion 22 to moving up It is dynamic.Thus, the second ground contacting surface 54 is moved up from base portion 22 towards third distance D3, therefore in the first tyre surface 40 and Ground force is distributed in two tyre surfaces, 50 the two.For example, the second tyre surface 50 is upwardly movable to about 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm in indsole 18 Distance, to distribute ground force in 50 the two of the first tyre surface 40 and the second tyre surface.Optionally, the second tyre surface 50 can move up The distance of about 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm in indsole.In addition, between the 4th distance D4 of unsupported second distance D2 and load Difference can be greater than difference between unsupported first distance D1 and the third distance D3 of load.
In load situation, as shown in Figure 8, the second ground contacting surface 54 and the first ground contacting surface 42 are substantially It is equal, or about 0 mm below the first ground contacting surface 42, and the third distance of corresponding first and second tyre surface 40,50 D3 and the 4th distance D4 can be essentially equal.When the second tyre surface 50 is arranged in load situation, the second material of the second tyre surface 50 If expecting to be less than the second material when the second tyre surface 50 is retained at second distance D2 when applying ground force by the abrasion of floor surface Abrasion.This can improve tractive force on a variety of surfaces, and at the same time can also improve before participating in the suitable activity of footwear and Wear resistance of second material on hard surface (such as road surface) later.
It should be understood that, it is contemplated that the specified weight of the wearer of 10 object of footwear, the first tyre surface 40 and the second tyre surface 50 The compressible indsole of the two, and both tyre surfaces 40 and 50 can move up a distance towards base portion 22.Because first and second Both tyre surfaces 40 and 50 is mainly made of the first material, thus the first and second tyre surfaces 40 and 50 by movement it is substantially the same away from From, and the first and second ground contacting surfaces 42 and 54 will retain with it is mutually substantially equal or flush.
As described above, the upper part of tyre surface 40,50 can be made of the first material, however the second tyre surface 50 is under the first material The first layer 52 of side can be made of the second material for being different from the first material.The selection of these materials can based on provide rigidity, The performance characteristics of the material of the aspect of wear resistance and tractive force.First material of the first tyre surface 40 and the second tyre surface 50 has the One hardness.The first layer 52 of second tyre surface 50 is made of the second material and has the second hardness, and indsole 18 is by with third The third material of hardness is constituted.First hardness is equal to or more than third hardness.The selection of material hardness provides, and indsole 18 compares The major part of tyre surface 40,50 is softer, so that indsole 18 is compressed first and compresses more than tyre surface 40,50.This helps the In the upwardly recessed indsole 18 of two tyre surface 50, so that the second ground contacting surface 54 is equal with the first ground contacting surface 42.
The friction between ground or surface that tyre surface 40,50 causes sole assembly 14 to be in contact with it, in various activities and Support and stability are provided during movement for the wearer of article of footwear.Correspondingly, it is also necessary to consider the tractive force of certain material. More high density, harder material generally provide bigger wear resistance, but more sliding and do not provide equally good tractive force. On the contrary, less dense, softer material generally provide better tractive force, but itself is softer and provide smaller resistance to Lossy.
