Definitions

• the invention relates to a shoe with a shaft and an insole, in particular for a person suffering from diabetes.

• DE 198 16 282 AI discloses an insole for a shoe with acupressor effective agents that can be detachably inserted in openings in the insole and that point in the direction of the sole of the foot.
• the openings for receiving the acupressor active agents are arranged as a negative to a scheme of the reflex zones in a hole pattern.
• the means are detachably arranged in the openings and the insole for a left foot has different reflex zones than the insole for a right foot.
• the insertion sole consists at least of a layer formed from an elastomer or a wood material.
• an insole with at least two layers is known from DE 198 29 072 AI, the upper layer being open to diffusion, the lower layer consisting of fiber material with absorbent fibers and the two layers being needled together. This insole also serves to wick away sweat.
• DE 198 29 071 A1 discloses an insole for a shoe with at least two layers, an upper layer which is permeable to diffusion and a lower layer spaced therefrom being present and an intermediate layer with absorbent fibers which is introduced with at least one active substance between these two layers is acted upon.
• the feet of a diabetic are particularly at risk.
• the vessels and nerves in the body have to travel a long way and the further the way, the sooner damage can occur.
• Diabetes can limit the function of the nerves, so that pain cannot be reported to the brain, for example.
• a small stone in the shoe can cause a small injury to the foot that becomes increasingly large and ignites, so that the "diabetic foot" is caused by neuropathy.
• Blood flow to the feet may also be restricted. If it is limited in the context of arteriosclerosis, wound healing disorders are the consequence. As long as the blood circulation is not restored, all efforts to heal wounds are usually discontinued. you.
• the object is achieved in that the shaft and / or the insole comprises an elastic covering which is divided horizontally into at least two chambers, a first chamber with a gaseous medium and a second chamber with a liquid and / or elastically deformable, solid medium is filled.
• the combination of the chambers filled with the different media ensures a relatively high pressure relief of the foot.
• Smaller objects in the shoe such as small stones, are printed in the insole or the shaft without causing damage to the foot.
• the media When walking, i.e. when the foot rolls off, the media are shifted within the two chambers of the covering, the media shifting from the maximally loaded areas to the minimally loaded areas within the chambers. This relieves the foot in the sense of a shock absorber function. This significantly reduces the risk of developing a diabetic foot.
• the beneficial effects are not limited to the diabetic foot, rather they also develop in people with non-diabetic feet with problem feet.
• the wrapping inside is expediently for formation of the chambers connected in one piece on the circumference with a separating film.
• the mutual sealing of the two chambers is thus ensured with relatively simple technical means.
• the connection between the casing and the separating film can be realized, for example, by welding.
• the separating film preferably divides the covering into the chambers of approximately the same size.
• the separating film advantageously has wavy elevations or knobs on at least one side.
• the wave-shaped elevations or the knobs represent areas with an increased resistance to deformation compared to the regions of the separating film which are not provided with elevations or knobs.
• a relieving effect on the foot itself and the sole of the foot when the foot rolls off is also ensured by the fact that the covering is provided with wavy elevations or knobs on the upper side facing the separating film.
• the apexes of the undulating elevations or the knobs of the separating film preferably correspond to those of the covering.
