  • the footwear according to the invention is characterized in particular in that the watertight connection of the second section of the lower folded-over end region of the lining to the first insole has been carried out by means of a sealing compound applied from the outsole side.
  • the sealant is an adhesive.
  • the adhesives commonly used for the manufacture of shoes are particularly suitable for this purpose. These are characterized by good strength properties, so that covering the transition from the second section of the lower folded end region of the lining to the first insole with the adhesive is practically sufficient to achieve a watertight connection of sufficient strength between the waterproof, water vapor-permeable functional layer and the first insole.
  • the strength of the adhesive layer can be improved by adding threads, in particular textile fabrics such as nonwovens, woven fabrics or knitted fabrics, the threads or textile fabrics preferably consisting of monofilaments.

  • the sealing compound penetrates into the gap between the lining and the first insole, so that it is also ensured here that the cut edge of the folded end region of the lining and the outer edge of the insole are securely embedded in the sealing compound, so that a good seal is achieved.
  • first insole is sewn to the second partial section of the lower end region of the lining, preferably with a strobe seam.
  • the use of monofilaments is also recommended for this seam.
  • the first insole rests on the folded end region of the lining and covers the first and the second partial section. In this way, the tightness between the insole and the lining can be ensured particularly easily via the sealing compound.
  • first insole and the outsole is arranged a ball-out layer filling the space between the first insole and the outsole, which has an outer edge which runs inside the inner edge of the second insole and the transition between the second partial section of the lower folded end region of the lining covering the first insole.
  • This ball layer can be produced in a simple manner from the same material as the first or the second insole.
  • the Ausball ⁇ layer is preferably made of a waterproof plastic material.
  • the ball-out layer is connected in a watertight manner to the second section of the lower folded end region of the lining and / or to the first insole.
  • the Ball-out layer not only improves the comfort of the wearer but also increases the tightness, since it supports the tight connection between the second partial area of the lower folded-over end area of the lining and the first insole and, in the case where the ball-out layer is connected to the second section and the first insole, also contributes to the strength of the connection point.
  • the adjacent sections of the strip of the second insole are connected to one another via a holder.
  • this can be done using threads, in particular monofilaments.
  • the holder can also be a woven fabric, a knitted fabric or a fleece.
  • the use of monofilaments has proven its worth.
  • the holder should preferably be designed such that, if the outsole is bonded to the first insole, otherwise via the ball-out layer, the adhesive connecting the outsole can penetrate the holder well. Open fabrics or knitted fabrics have proven to be very effective.
  • the footwear according to the invention can be used both for glued shoes and for shoes in which the second insole is sewn onto the outer layer.
  • the footwear according to the invention has proven particularly useful for flexible-type shoes in which the lower end region of the outer layer is turned outwards, and the turned part of the outer layer at least approximately arranged parallel to the direction of extension of the outsole and sewn to the second insole.
  • These shoes are extremely comfortable to wear because they are particularly flexible when it comes to unrolling.
  • shoes that were considered to be comfortable had a reputation for not being particularly tight.
  • this disadvantage is effectively reduced by the footwear according to the invention, in most cases even completely avoided.

  • the shaft is formed from an outer layer 1 and a lining 2 lining the outer layer from the inside.
  • the lining 2 consists of the actual lining material and a water-vapor-permeable, waterproof functional layer (not shown).
  • the functional layer can also have a further textile layer on the side facing away from the lining layer.
  • the textile layers are glued onto the functional layer at least in places, which is why the entire lining 2 can be referred to as laminate.
  • the lower end region 1 'of the outer layer 1 is turned outward, extends in the direction of the sole material and lies in a parallel arrangement on the second insole 4 and is sewn to the latter with the seam 5.
