This blockage is exacerbated by the relatively low level of heel support, as the heel can either not come up at all, or at most too slowly due to the strong lowering of the heel pad. Due to a lack of internal rolling ability of the foot on the sole top but also the ankle and knee joints are largely blocked, which counteracts a natural gear. Due to the high rise of the Fußlängsgewölbe supporting bridge results in the known sole also a high load of a naturally relatively weak area, which can manifest itself in a rapid fatigue and damaged Fußlängsgewölbe in an increased incidence of pain.

Field of application of the invention:

The application of the invention is in the field of footwear, especially as an orthopedic shoe or health shoe.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions:

A contoured sole of wood is known from US-PS 3,305,947. In this case, the heel support is lowered in relation to the ridge of the bridge leading to the bale well. The bale well is formed by, a relatively narrow valley, from which the toe-up

Explanation of the essence of the invention

On this basis, it is therefore an object of the present invention, while avoiding the disadvantages of the known arrangements to provide a sole of the kind mentioned, which allows an inner rolling movement of the foot on the sole top and yet a recording of the main load on the heel and a relatively strong relief of Fußlängsgewölbes guaranteed.

Although the currently widely used with leather or rubber soles shoes also takes place over the ball of foot rolling movement. For this purpose, however, the sole must be bent against its inner bias with the help of Fußlängsgewölbes, which leads experience to a not inconsiderable fatigue and especially in damaged Fußlängsgewölbe very quickly to the onset of pain.

According to the invention, the above-mentioned object is now achieved by a sole made of rigid material, in particular wood, having a substantially footform-shaped upper side, the toe area rising from a trough in the ball area, substantially in each plane parallel to the central longitudinal plane of the sole the tangent, which lies parallel to a run-side flattening in the ball area lying in the plane of the run-out heel and touches the highest point of the sole contour in the area of the longitudinal arch that forms the tendon over the heel pad, a line connecting this highest point to the deepest

Point of the trough in the ball area with the tangent includes an angle α of 8-12 °, and the front end portion of the toe area is higher than the heel pad.

This sole allows a natural, barefoot walking gear with a natural movement of the ankle and knee joints, which not only has a positive effect on the fatigue, but may also affect the circulation due to the resulting pumping effect. The sole with running-side flattening practically results in a front tread surface which blocks as long as possible an external rolling motion over the rolling curvature and thus provokes an internal rolling movement of the foot on the upper side of the sole. Nevertheless, in the last phase of progressive movement, the inner rolling movement can be transformed into an outer rolling movement that runs over the rolling curvature. In this phase, however, the affected foot is already relieved, since the body weight is already shifted to the next step to the forward set foot, which can meanwhile already roll on the upper side of the sole. The weak inclination of the bridge and the level of heel pad adjoining it not only prevent upward pushing of the arch of the foot, but at the same time ensure that the brunt of body weight normally rests on the heel. However, an internal rolling motion is not blocked by this, but rather supported, since the heel from the upper level of the flat rising bridge

30

can come up easily. In addition, the inclination according to the invention in the region of the bridge results in a relatively wide bale trough, which permits an internal rolling movement on the ball of the foot. Through the subsequent increase in toe pad, the burden of

Heel is practically reinforced and on the other hand results in the toe area but also so much support that the foot does not slip and the heel well high

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are therefore particularly easy in the achievement of a natural gait when recording the main load on the heel and the natural conditions adapted, comparatively weak load on the Fußlängsgewölbes and thus in a high continuous load capacity even in otherwise easily Due to the raised heel pad, the ball of the foot over which the inner rolling movement takes place is secured in position, which can facilitate the inner rolling movement and have a positive effect on the load on the heel. At the same time this ensures advantageously that the sole when walking, can be kept largely in contact with the foot.

The rolling movement is further advantageously influenced in the above sense, if a Abrollbereich is provided in the ball and toe area on the running side. This rolling area merges into the running-side flattening. In particular, the flattening extends with its front edge into the region below the bale trough, wherein the front edge of the flattening may extend approximately parallel to the lying in the region of the bale trough, lying transversely to the central longitudinal plane trench line. The flattening preferably runs tangentially into the rolling roll.

This ensures that an external rolling motion is reliably blocked until the inner rolling motion of the foot on the sole top is safely in motion. In the last phase of this inner rolling movement, however, a jerk-free and steady transition is ensured in an outer rolling motion, before the already relieved foot is prefixed to the next step. If the depth of the concave heel pad is smaller than the natural heel lift, it will positively affect the desired load on the inherently high heel heel and, at the same time, will cause a desirable release of the heel

When changing from a shoe with conventional soles training on a provided with the sole according to the invention shoe or sandal with instep band and / or heel cap can cause initial difficulties, since the ** forced movement of the ankle and knee joints previously trained many unclaimed muscles. In order to gradually train the foot on the sole shape according to the invention, successively attachment pieces of different thickness can be releasably secured to the sole side stump. Is the intermediate or spacer designed as a shock absorber, so you get an excellent shock absorption and thus a resilient and gentle on bones and joints gear.

By a flared rear heel cap when wearing a sole provided with the shoe or sandal on the one hand, a fall of the shoe from the foot or hatching even with rising underground prevented and on the other hand, a high stability and security guaranteed. The fact that the heel counter is issued slightly over its entire height to the rear, while ensuring that the inner rolling motion is not hindered. Rather, in this case, the heel when rolling the sole of the sole of the sole is given enough leeway.

To the inner rolling movement of the sole of the foot on the sole -. Not to block top and reliably avoid pressure points, while still ensuring high stability and a reliable hold, according to the invention can be provided at least one arranged between the heel cup and the toe cap, an entry opening limiting sheet tab, which consists of at least one elastically stretchable material section having.

As a result of its extensibility, the sheet tab according to the invention can follow the foot rolling on the upper side of the sole, without the rolling movement being blocked or disturbed. After completion of the rolling movement, the sheet flap shrinks to its original size, the sole is automatically brought up to the foot and safe in this position is held securely, which is not only positive for the stability and the maintenance of the footwear at the foot of the wearer Ί " At the same time, this ensures that the toe cap is cut out so far in the entry area or so strong

'** can be expanded, that sufficient latitude for the inner rolling motion is available and pressure points with certainty omitted, which has an advantageous effect on increasing the fatigue intervals. The advantages that can be achieved thereby are therefore

especially in an increase in safety and comfort.

An advantageous embodiment may consist in that the sheet tab on the sole outside ends located on

has. This measure ensures that the sheet tab does not fold into the interior of the structure and thus can block the manhole. Rather, this ensures that the sheet tab always limits a clean manhole and thus facilitates the application of an article of footwear inventive type.

A further advantageous embodiment may consist in that the sheet tab provided in the region of their ends with elastics and preferably hereby attached to the sole. This ensures that

J 1 Ο U U 0 59 539 23

a relatively large length of the elastic ends and thus a relatively high elasticity and a high elasticity are available. At the same time? allows the rigid sole underlying here a simple yet reliable attachment. The use of elastics for forming stretchable portions of the sheet tab advantageously results in a particularly simple and therefore cost-effective design.

In an expedient development of the invention, the sheet tab may have at least two interconnected by a belt buckle sections, thereby ensuring that the sheet tab can be adapted to each foot, so that there is a reliable hold and excellent stability in each case.

Conveniently, the front cap on the entry side have an expansion joint, so that on the one hand a clean closure and on the other hand sufficient margin are ensured.

The sole according to the invention can also be used in boots with a boot leg which can be closed by closure members, such as buckles or cords, wherein a slide or roller pad can be attached to the sole. Examples of such boots are ski boots or skate boots.

^ow In the known boots, especially ski boots of this type, the upper sole side is substantially flat. The boot leg surrounding the ankle is positioned forward of the flat bottom of the sole. Experience shows that this is one

relatively heavy load on the front foot, which is relatively weak compared to the heel.

AP A 43 B / 231 800/6 _ ₉ _ 59 539 23

while the heel, which is inherently designed for high loads, has relatively little load. The inclination of the shaft causes a permanent kinking in the area of the ankle joint and thus practically leads to a blockage of the foot. The consequence of this is practically a continuous load of a created only for light loads foot area, which can be felt in a rapid fatigue or cramping and cooling. It therefore often comes to considerable pain or any case to a very strong soreness, which is perceived as disadvantageous. In addition, in the known arrangements, a movement without rolling or sliding pad is very poorly possible even when the shaft is open due to lack of rolling ability and requires a considerable effort. ".

This is avoided in the boot with the sole according to the invention, in which not only the heel loaded and the Fußlängsgewölbe and the ball of the foot are largely relieved, but in which a comparatively easy walking is possible even when the shaft is open. In this boot, the boot leg adjoining the sole forms a heel in the area of the heel pad.

Taking up the main load on the heel, the anterior foot area is virtually free and can therefore rest, which ensures a long endurance and freedom from cramping and thus excellent blood circulation. Once the shaft is opened, i. the buckles are relaxed, the inventive contour of the upper sole side allows, together with the given by the heel counter movement in the heel an inner rolling movement of the sole of the foot on the sole top, which facilitates locomotion while walking. The continuously increasing toe pad ensures that the toes can easily press on their base, which holds the ball of the foot over which the inner rolling takes place in the right place of the bale and facilitates a heel lift »on which the weak Advantageously, tilt of the bridge and the level of heel pad adapted thereto. At the same time, however, not only a pushing of the Fußlängsgewölbe is prevented upwards, son-20

At the same time, the absorption of the main burden of body weight on the heel is achieved. With the shank closed, the heel load-bearing heel can comfortably fit the space created by the heel counter, providing a comfortable, tension-free and cramp-free fit.

4 is deducted from a formed by a flat 5, front tread, which also gets in contact with this when it comes to a flat surface. The flattening 5 is located in a paragraph 3, which here is slightly curved, tangent plane, which is illustrated in Figure 2 by the line 6. In simple cases, the heel area 3 may lie overall in a plane with the front flattening 5. At the front tread is followed by a convex curved Abrollbereich 7. In the transition region, the front flattening 5 runs practically tangentially into the rolling region 7, resulting in a continuous transition. The boundary line 8 between front flattening 5 and rolling region 7 extends approximately perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis and parallel to the front edge of the paragraph. The rear boundary line 9 can be against it slightly inclined or curved so that there is a slightly larger width in the area of the sole outside. The function of the front flattening 5 will be explained in more detail below. In the example underlying the drawings, the bottom of the sole is not fogged. In practice, however, in the heel area 3 and in the area of the front flattening 5 and the thereto; adjoining Abrollbereich a rubber coating provided, the lower contour is practically parallel to the illustrated contour of the bottom sole.

In the area of the sole top side is provided in a manner known per ^ou manner one on top of paragraph 2, exploiting Dende heel support 10 from which a the Fußlängsgewölbe associated longitudinal arch 11 or bridge leads to an associated ball of the foot ball body 12, which terminates in a toe area 13, as at best of fi

gur 2 is recognizable. The upper sole side is approximately adapted to the contour of the human foot, i. the

Sole 1 is provided with a rising towards the edge increase. This occurs in particular in the area of the heel pad 10 and the bridge in appearance; As a result, according to FIGS. 3 and 4, a pan 14 is obtained in the region of the heel support 10. In the region of the bale trough, the foot and thus also the sole 1 reach the greatest width. In this area, the edge increase is therefore relatively low. The same applies to the toe area 13. The heel support 10 is contoured approximately symmetrically to the central longitudinal plane. In the area of the bridge, the inner sole edge is increased more according to the natural foot contour than the outer sole edge, as best seen in FIG.

The longitudinal vault 11 drops slightly curved from the at its upper level in about applying heel pad 10 to the lower lying bale region 12, in such a way that under this area underlaid Fußlängsgewölbe supported on the one hand, on the other hand, however, is not pushed up, but practically rests tensionless. Accordingly, the main portion of the body weight coming onto the sole 1 is transferred, via the inherently high heel heel, to the heel pad 10, which, apart from the contouring adapted to the human foot sole, is approximately horizontal, e.g. is aligned parallel to the plane 6 and whose level is approximately at the height of the upper bridge area, as based on the in Fig. 2 to the longitudinal arch 1 1 applied, running side parallel tangent 15

™ is recognizable. In the toe-parallel longitudinal section approximately according to FIG. 2, the lowest point in the ball region 12 and the highest point of the longitudinal arch 11 (bridge) in the region of the transition to the heel support 10 are obtained. The desired relief of the longitudinal arch of the foot and strain on the heel

occurs when the connecting line 16 between the lowest point 27 of the trough in the ball area 12 and associated

231800 6

AP A 43 B / 231 800/6 - 14 -

highest point 28 of the longitudinal arch 11 relative to the tangent 15 is inclined by an angle α of 10 °. However, as tests have shown, the desired result is still achieved in the range between 8 and 12 ° with a satisfactory effect. This is true for all toe-parallel longitudinal sections. In some cases, at most in the sole region associated with the inner foot region, there may be a slight upward deviation. In the example underlying the figures, the heel support 10 is also slightly concave in the longitudinal direction starting from the upper region of the longitudinal arch 11, as can be seen from FIG. The case compared to the level of the tangent 15 resulting depression (depth t) should, however, be smaller than existing in this area natural collection of the human heel, which may also have a positive effect on the desired load bearing in the heel area. In a simple embodiment, the recess can be completely omitted, so that the heel support 10 is practically fully at the level of the upper region of the bridge or longitudinal arch 11. The toe area 13 rises from the trough of the ball portion 12 so. at the top, that results in the area of the ball portion 12 a gentle concavity. On the other hand, however, should the employment of the toes support the heel stressful posture and ensure that the foot maintains its position relative to the sole top, so is not displaced forward, which prevents tensions in the instep area and

"J- gives a correct position of the ball of the foot when unrolling. The toe area 13 is led beyond the tangent 15 with its front edge. Suitably, the toe portion 13 is pulled up so far that the connecting line 16a between the front end portion of the toe portion 13 and the lowest point 27 of the ball portion opposite the tangent f5 an angle ß in the range of 15 - 20 °, preferably 17.5 °.

The above-described measures cause the one hand, the desired load on the heel and relief of Fußlängsgewölbes and on the other hand, but also allow a rolling movement of the sole of the sole on the upper side. This inner rolling movement is provoked by the front tread surface located in the area below the ball area 12, which blocks as much as possible an outer rolling movement of the sole 1 via the rolling area 7. The inner rolling movement takes place over the ball of the foot, which are received in the ball area 12, which offers sufficient Abrollspielraum due to its gentle convexity. The toe area 13 results in a sufficient hold, on the one hand to hold the bale on the associated ball area and on the other hand to come up with the heel, which in turn is facilitated by the fact that the bridge 11 rises gently and the heel pad 10 with respect to the upper portion of the bridge not or not significantly lowered; On the other hand, this has a positive effect on the relief of the Fußlängsgewölbes and the desired load on the heel, as already stated above. At the same time, the support in the area of the toes ensures that the sole can not tilt down when stepping with the heel. The measures according to the invention thus make it possible in practice to simulate barefoot walking. The front flattening 5 provided for blocking an external rolling movement may be dimensioned such that the front boundary lies approximately below the lowest point 2; 7 of the ball region 12. But even with a narrower version of the front flattening 5, as in the illustrated embodiment, excellent results can be achieved. As experiments have shown, the front flattening 5 should not

be narrower than about 2 cm

The sole 1 can, as already indicated above, from a blank of the in Figure 2 outlined at 17 ange-

hinted to be kind of worked out. The blank height corresponds approximately to the largest sole height, so that the front flattening 5 and the heel region 3 virtually affect the blank bottom side and the front tip of the toe area extends to the blank top, apart from a required in practice, not considered in Figure 2 processing allowance. Due to the shallow rise of the longitudinal arch 11 and the relatively small heel height results in a relatively low material consumption. On the other hand, since the level of the heel pad 10 does not deviate significantly from the blank top, also results in a relatively simple processing.

The sandal on which the figure 5 is based consists of a sole also described here with a sole of the type described above, on which an instep strap 18 and a heel cap 10 enclosing the heel pad 10 are fastened to the outside. For this purpose, the sole 1 can, as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, be provided in the upper region with a circumferential groove 20 in which the fastening edge of the instep band 18 and the heel cap 19 engage; In the illustrated embodiment, the instep band 18 and the heel counter 19 are simply fixed by pins 21 on the sole 1. It would also be conceivable, the sole 1 in one piece with the heel cup and / or the instep band form. Such an embodiment could be produced for example as a plastic molding. The rear height of the heel counter 19

corresponds approximately to the normal heel height, which on the one hand gives excellent stability and on the other hand prevents a fall of the sandal from the foot of the wearer or a slip out. The heel counter 19 is light in its rear area on the whole height

tilted backwards, which gives the heel the necessary freedom in the desired inner rolling movement.

As a result of the relief of Fußlängsgewölbe comes to the entry area of the instep band 18 only a comparatively low load. It is therefore possible, to achieve a full absence of tension in the access opening 22 of the instep band 18 to make this from relatively soft material. In the illustrated embodiment, two lateral slots 23 are attached to ensure a particularly high elasticity of the instep strap 18 in the region of the Eiristiegöffnung 22, which can be bridged by an elastic band not shown here.

The paragraph 2 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a paragraph portion 3 containing attachment piece 24 which is releasably attachable to the shoulder stump 25. If, over time, the heel portion 3 wears, the top piece 24 is simply removed and replaced with a new top piece. For detachable fixing of the attachment piece 24 can simply be provided a detent and / or screw connection. In the simplest case, such a connection can be accomplished easily with screwed from the paragraph 3 ago wood screws whose heads can be sunk in the attachment piece 24. Between top piece 24 and stump 25 can advantageously be inserted in such an embodiment, an intermediate piece 26 having the shock absorber properties, which advantageously a cushioning acting on the heel bumps

When changing from a shoe with conventional sole training, in which the heel tread substantially lower than in the embodiment shown in Figure 2

could lie on a shoe with the sole according to the invention, initial difficulties can arise. Around

AP A 43 B / 231 800/6 3 18 0 0 6 59 539 23

To avoid or mitigate these difficulties, sole 1 may simply be associated with a plurality of attachment pieces 24 of different thickness, which are used successively. The detachable fixing of the attachment allows a quick change, so that you can get along with a sole in an advantageous manner. In order to ensure the same level of stability here at each heel height, it may be expedient to provide 5 corresponding top pieces in the area of the front flattening.

In the example shown, the rolling region 7 runs approximately parallel to the surface of the ball region 12 and of the toe region 13. This results in an equal sole thickness in this region. However, it would be readily possible to round off the rolling area 7 more strongly, if this is desired in individual cases, in order to positively influence the external rolling movement taking place in the last step phase.

Despite essentially parallel to the surface parallelepiped heel pad results in the sole according to the invention between the front end portion of the toe area and the heel counter altogether a rearward inclination. 25

In the sandal shown in FIG. 6, the rigid sole 1 is provided on the running side with an elastic attachment piece 24, 24 ·. The trough of the ball area is spanned by an in the area of the toe pad forward closed ^ow front cap 29. The rear edge of the front cap 29 limits here a loophole 30, the size of which is expediently chosen such that an excess is present in relation to the foot resting on the upper side of the sole, which is at least that which occurs when unrolling in this area.

As a result, the roll-off movement taking place on the upper side of the sole is not blocked and pressure points on the foot are prevented with certainty. In the illustrated embodiment, the toe cap 29 is completely detached from the heel counter 19. But it would also be conceivable to connect these two caps by laterally continuous strips together or perform one piece.

To ensure a clean hold of the sandal on the foot despite the large clearance in the area of the toe cap 29 and thus to ensure adequate stability is arranged in the area between heel counter 19 and toe cap 29, designated as a whole with 32 sheet tab provided partially elastic stretchable material. This sheet tab 32 can thus be suitably applied to the resting on the sole foot, without this is blocked when walking a heel of the heel and thus a rolling motion of the sole of the sole on the upper side. In the illustrated embodiment, the sheet tab 32 is provided in the region of their ends, each with an elastic band 33, which ensure a high elasticity. The middle part 34 may be made of leather.

This ensures that the sheet tab 32 is easily accessible when creating such an article of footwear. This has an especially advantageous effect where the sole is not exposed in the area between the heel cap and the toe but is provided with lateral strips or tabs.

The elastic bands 33 can be sewn or glued to the middle part 34 or firmly connected in some other way. In the illustrated embodiment, fitting parts in the form of an eyelet 36 and a belt buckle 37 are provided for this purpose, on which the elastics 33 are fixed in a loop-like manner.

The sole top has the above in connection, esp.

described with Figure 2, the human foot sole adapted contour.

The boot leg 39 is formed in the illustrated embodiment in the area of the heel support 10 as to the heel height slightly flared rear heel cap 42. This measure provides sufficient clearance for the heel with the shaft open, i. with opened buckles. It is therefore possible that the foot unrolls with the shaft open on the upper side of the sole, which facilitates locomotion without skis or ski touring. This inner rolling movement runs over the ball of foot resting in the trough of the ball area 12. The gentle concavity of the ball area 12, the slight rise of the longitudinal arch 11 along the inclined section.

connecting line 16 and the horizontal orientation of the heel pad 10 in the upper bridge level facilitate this inner rolling movement. The toes in the toe area 13 toes provide sufficient

On the other hand, there may be provided as a result of the intended toe area 13 there a sufficient height of the interior, which exceeds the normal toe strength, so that the toes constantly sufficient

Backward tilt of the heel counter 42, however, not only provides sufficient leeway to effect an internal rolling motion, but also prevents blockage and kinking in the area of the ankle joint. As soon as the buckles are closed, the heel practically adjusts automatically to the given space comfortably, so that a clean seat is guaranteed. The existing between heel and instep light shaft width is this purpose appropriate to be measured, ace in the closed state, a play-free enclosure of the foot results.

A ski boot of the type described above advantageously ensures that the main load of the body weight rests on the heel and that the longitudinal arch of the foot and the ball of the foot are largely relieved, so that the foot portions, which are weak in themselves, are subjected to little stress and thus a long endurance even in the case of foot or·. Leg or joint complaints can be expected. At the same time an internal rolling movement and thus a slight locomotion without skis is possible. Although the invention is explained in more detail above with reference to a ski boot. In the same way but also skate boots or Roilschuhstiefel or the like can be improved.

In boots according to the invention it is advantageous for facilitating the kinking movement, the upper leather at the back and above the heel, i. between the heel cap and the boot leg, made of relatively soft material or provide a corresponding soft insert with excess.
