Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein wasserdichtes Schuhwerk mit einem Außenschaft, einem eine wasserdichte, wasserdampfdurchlässige Funktionsschicht und ein zur Innenseite des Schuhwerkes gerichtetes Futter aufweisenden Innenschaft, einer Brandsohle und einer Laufsohle, wobei der Innenschaft einen unteren Endbereich aufweist, der das untere Ende des Außenschaftes zumindest überwiegend überragt, und einerseits mit dem Außenschaft und andererseits mit der Brandsohle verbunden ist.The invention relates to a waterproof footwear with an outer shaft, a waterproof, water vapor permeable functional layer and a lining directed towards the inside of the footwear inner shaft, an insole and an outsole, wherein the inner shaft has a lower end portion that projects beyond the lower end of the outer shaft at least predominantly , and on the one hand with the outer shaft and on the other hand with the insole is connected.

Ein derartiges Schuhwerk ist aus EP 0 544 270 A1 bekannt geworden. Der Innenschaft ist dort einerseits mit dem Außenschaft mittels Kleber und andererseits mit der Brandsohle verbunden, wodurch der Außenschaft über den unteren Endbereich des Innenschaftes mit der Brandsohle verbunden ist. Außerdem ist der
Außenschaft mit der Brandsohle über das angespritzte Sohlenmaterial mit der Brandsohle verbunden, wobei das Sohlenmaterial zwischen dem Außenschaft und der Brandsohle an dem Innenschaft anhaftet. Beim Gebrauch des bekannten Schuhwerks hat es sich aber gezeigt, dass insbesondere im Gelenkbereich der untere Endbereich des Innenschaftes starker Beanspruchung häufig nicht standhält, die Funktionsschicht dann Risse aufweist und die Funktionsschicht deshalb nicht mehr wasserdicht ist. Die Folge ist, dass vom Außenschaft aufgenommenes Wasser oder zwischen Außenschaft und Laufsohle eindringendes Wasser bis zu einem solchen Riss gelangen kann und vom Futter des Innenschaftes aufgesogen wird.Such a footwear has become known from EP 0 544 270 A1. The inner shaft is there on the one hand connected to the outer shaft by means of adhesive and on the other hand with the insole, whereby the outer shaft is connected via the lower end portion of the inner shaft with the insole. In addition, the
Outer shaft connected to the insole over the molded sole material with the insole, wherein the sole material between the outer shaft and the insole adheres to the inner shaft. When using the known footwear, however, it has been found that, in particular in the joint area, the lower end region of the inner shaft often does not withstand high stress, the functional layer then has cracks and the functional layer is therefore no longer waterproof. The result is that water absorbed by the outer shaft or penetrating between outer shaft and outsole Water can reach such a crack and is absorbed by the lining of the inner shaft.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Schuhwerk der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei welchem die oben genannten Probleme zumindest verringert sind.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a footwear of the type mentioned, in which the above problems are at least reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem eingangs genannten Schuhwerk dadurch gelöst, dass der untere, den Außenschaft überragende Endbereich des Innenschaftes derart nach außen gefaltet ist, dass die Funktionsschicht im gesamten Endbereich gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist und der innenschaft eine durch das Falten entstandene Unterkante aufweist, dass das freie Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes mit dem Außenschaft verbunden ist, und dass die Unterkante des Innenschaftes mit der Brandsohle verbunden ist.This object is achieved with a footwear mentioned above in that the lower, the outer shaft projecting end portion of the inner shaft is folded outwardly such that the functional layer is disposed opposite in the entire end region and the interior has a resulting from the folding lower edge that the free End of the outwardly folded inner shaft is connected to the outer shaft, and that the lower edge of the inner shaft is connected to the insole.

Durch das Falten des Endbereichs des Innenschaftes, in der Schuhfachsprache auch Buggen genannt, ist in diesem Bereich zumindest die Funktionsschicht doppellagig vorhanden. Auf diese Weise wird die Stabilität im kritischen Bereich des Schuhwerkes deutlich gesteigert.By folding the end portion of the inner shaft, also called Buggen in the shoe language, at least the functional layer is double-layered in this area. In this way, the stability in the critical area of footwear is significantly increased.

Die Stabilität des Endbereichs des innenschaftes wird weiterhin gesteigert, wenn die im Endbereich gegenüberliegend angeordneten Bereiche der Funktionsschicht miteinander wasserdicht verklebt sind. Die Verklebung wird im einfachsten Falle durch übliche Kleber, beispielsweise Polyurethan kleber, durchgeführt. Hierzu können auch Kleber eingesetzt werden, die durch Hitze aktivierbar sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei der Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen innenschaft und
Außenschaft, der nach innen weisende Teil des Endbereichs des Innenschaftes auf Abstand gehalten werden kann und die Verklebung der im Endbereich gegenüberliegend angeordneten Bereiche zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt über Hitzebeaufschlagung vollzogen werden kann. Hierbei hat es sich als besonders günstig erwiesen, an sich bekannte Bänder, die mit einem durch Hitze aktivierbaren Kleber beschichtet sind, zwischen die im Endbereich gegenüberliegend angeordneten Bereiche einzulegen und den Kleber nach dem Aufziehen auf den Leisten zu aktivieren.The stability of the end region of the inner shaft is further increased if the regions of the functional layer arranged opposite one another in the end region are glued together in a watertight manner. The bonding is carried out in the simplest case by conventional adhesive, such as polyurethane adhesive. For this purpose, it is also possible to use adhesives which can be activated by heat. This has the advantage that in the manufacture of the connection between the interior and
Outer shaft, the inwardly facing part of the end portion of the inner shaft can be kept at a distance and the bonding of the end region opposite arranged areas at a later date by heat can be performed. It has proven to be particularly favorable to insert tapes which are known per se, which are coated with a heat-activatable adhesive, between the opposite regions arranged in the end region and to activate the adhesive after being mounted on the strips.

Bevorzugt ist in dem nach außen gefalteten Endbereich des Innenschaftes das Futter entfernt. Dies kann beispielsweise durch Ausschärfen bewerkstelligt werden, das heißt das Futter wird in diesem Bereich durch Abschaben mit einem scharfen Messer entfernt. Bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Schuhwerkes kann im Falle einer angespritzten Sohle beim Anspritzen das Sohlenmaterial ungehindert bis zur Funktionsschicht vordringen und somit mit dieser vollflächig verkleben, so dass kein Wasser mehr bis zur Innenseite des Schuhwerkes vordringen kann. Auch in dem Fall, dass Laufsohlen verwendet werden, die angeklebt werden, kann sich der Kleber, mit dem die Laufsohle angeklebt wird, ebenfalls flächig mit der Funktionsschicht verbinden, so dass auch hierbei eine wasserdichte Verbindung entsteht. Als Kleber haben sich hierbei Polyurethan - Kleber bestens bewährt.Preferably, the lining is removed in the outwardly folded end region of the inner shaft. This can be done, for example, by skiving, that is, the food is removed in this area by scraping with a sharp knife. In this preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the invention, in the case of a molded sole during injection, the sole material can freely penetrate to the functional layer and thus bond with this entire surface, so that no more water can penetrate to the inside of the footwear. Also, in the case that outsoles are used, which are glued, the adhesive with which the outsole is glued, also connect flat with the functional layer, so that here, too, creates a waterproof connection. As adhesives, polyurethane adhesives have proven their worth.

Das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass das Schuhwerk weiterhin ein poröses Band mit zwei Längsseiten aufweist, welches entlang der Unterkante des Innenschafles angeordnet ist und mit einer Längsseite mit der Unterkante des Innenschaftes und mit der anderen Längsseite mit der Brandsohle verbunden ist. Hierbei sollte die Porosität des Bandes derart eingestellt sein, dass der noch flüssige Laufsohlenkunststoff beim Anspritzen beziehungsweise der Kleber beim Ankleben von Laufsohlen das Band, ohne großen Widerstand zu erfahren, durchdringen kann. Insbesondere beim Anspritzen von Laufsohlen ergibt sich hierbei zusätzlich der Vorteil, dass das Laufsohlenmaterial bis ins Innere des Schuhwerkes vordringen kann, so dass, sofern das Sohlenmaterial elektrisch leitend ausgebildet ist, eventuelle statische Aufladungen des Trägers des erfindungsgemäßen Schuhwerkes über die Laufsohle abgeführt werden können. Dass das Sohlenmaterial leitend ausgebildet ist, ist bei den meisten Sohlenmaterialien gewährleistet, weil diese zur Erreichung einer gleichmäßigen Färbung in der Regel mit Rußpartikeln gemischt sind.The footwear according to the invention is particularly characterized in that the footwear further comprises a porous band with two longitudinal sides, which is arranged along the lower edge of the inner sheep and is connected with one longitudinal side with the lower edge of the inner shaft and with the other longitudinal side with the insole. In this case, the porosity of the band should be set so that the still liquid outsole plastic during injection molding or the adhesive when sticking outsoles, the band, without experiencing much resistance, can penetrate. In particular, during the molding of outsoles, this results in addition to the advantage that the outsole material can penetrate into the interior of the footwear, so that, if the sole material is electrically conductive, any static Charges of the wearer of the footwear according to the invention can be removed via the outsole. That the sole material is made conductive, is guaranteed in most sole materials, because they are mixed to achieve a uniform coloration usually with soot particles.

Es hat sich besonders bewährt, wenn hierbei das poröse Band mit der Unterkante des Innenschaftes und oder mit der Brandsohle mittels einer Naht verbunden ist. Dadurch, dass das poröse Band vom Laufsohlenkunststoff bzw. Kleber durchdrungen ist, wird die Naht vollständig in den Laufsohlenkunststoff beziehungsweise Kleber eingebettet und somit abgedichtet. Als Nahtmaterial hat sich hierbei monofiles Material bestens bewährt. Hierfür besonders geeignet ist ein poröses Band, welches als Netz ausgebildet ist.It has proven particularly useful if in this case the porous band is connected to the lower edge of the inner shaft and or with the insole by means of a seam. The fact that the porous strip is penetrated by the outsole plastic or adhesive, the seam is completely embedded in the outsole plastic or adhesive and thus sealed. As a suture this monofilament material has proven very good. Particularly suitable for this purpose is a porous band, which is designed as a network.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Schuhwerks zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Unterkante des Innenschaftes mittels einer Naht mit der Brandsohle verbunden ist. Hierbei wird insbesondere dem Kostengesichtspunkt Rechnung getragen. Um hierbei eine gute Einhüllung der Naht in das Sohlenmaterial bzw. den Kleber zu gewährleisten, ist es zu empfehlen, die Naht locker auszubilden, das heißt, dass die Naht so gefertigt wird, dass die die Naht bildenden Fäden einen zwischen der Unterkante des Innenschaftes und der Brandsohle eingehaltenen Abstand überbrücken. Dies führt nicht nur zu einer guten Abdichtung der Nähte sondern lässt auch das Sohlenmaterial wiederum bis zur Innenseite eindringen, so dass auch statische Aufladung wirksam abgeführt werden kann. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es empfehlenswert, als Nahtmaterial ein Monofil auszuwählen.A further embodiment of the footwear according to the invention is characterized in that the lower edge of the inner shaft is connected by means of a seam with the insole. In particular, the cost aspect is taken into account. In order to ensure a good wrapping of the seam in the sole material or the adhesive, it is recommended that loosely form the seam, that is, that the seam is made so that the threads forming the seam one between the lower edge of the inner shaft and bridge the insole. This not only leads to a good sealing of the seams but also allows the sole material in turn to penetrate to the inside, so that even static charge can be dissipated effectively. Also in this embodiment, it is recommended to select a monofilament as the suture.

Anstatt der lockeren Ausführung der Naht kann das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk dadurch ausgezeichnet sein, dass die Brandsohle zumindest im Randbereich Öffnungen aufweist, so dass das Sohlenmaterial beim Anspritzen beziehungsweise der Kleber beim Ankleben der Sohle über die Öffnungen der Brandsohle bis zur Naht vordringen und diese umschließen kann. Dies gelingt vorzüglich, wenn die Brandsohle zumindest im Randbereich porös ausgebildet ist, und insbesondere dann. wenn die Brandsohle zumindest im Randbereich eine Netzstruktur aufweist.Instead of the loose design of the seam, the footwear according to the invention can be characterized in that the insole has at least in the edge region openings, so that the sole material during injection or the adhesive can penetrate through the openings of the insole up to the seam when sticking to the sole and can enclose it. This succeeds excellently when the insole is formed porous at least in the edge region, and in particular then. if the insole has at least in the edge region of a network structure.

Auch hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn das freie Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes mit dem Außenschaft vernäht ist. Auch bei dieser Naht empfiehlt es sich, diese locker auszubilden oder zwischen dem freien Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes und dem Außenschaft ein poröses Band anzuordnen, über welches die Verbindung zwischen dem freien Ende und dem Außenschaft hergestellt ist. Insofern zeichnet sich das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk insbesondere dadurch aus, dass es weiterhin ein poröses Band mit zwei Längsseiten aufweist, welches entlang des freien Endes des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes angeordnet, mit diesem über eine Längsseite verbunden und über die andere Längsseite mit dem Außenschaft verbunden ist. Dabei hat es sich als besonderen Vorteil herausgestellt, wenn das poröse Band mit dem freien Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes und/oder mit dem Außenschaft vernäht ist. Günstig ist es auch, wenn das poröse Band ein Netz ist.Also, it has been found to be particularly advantageous if the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft is sewn to the outer shaft. Also in this seam, it is advisable to form them loosely or between the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft and the outer shaft to arrange a porous band, over which the connection between the free end and the outer shaft is made. In this respect, the footwear according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that it further comprises a porous band with two longitudinal sides, which is arranged along the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft, connected thereto via a longitudinal side and connected via the other longitudinal side with the outer shaft. It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the porous tape is sewn to the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft and / or to the outer shaft. It is also favorable if the porous band is a net.

Das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk eignet sich praktisch für jede Art von Laufsohle. Bei angeklebten Laufsohlen muss lediglich darauf geachtet werden, dass der Kleber für die Laufsohle eine gute Verbindung mit dem nach außen umgeschlagenen Endbereich des Innenschaftes verklebt ist und auch die vorhandenen Nähte umschließt. Es ist aber auch möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk mit aus Kunststoffmaterial vorgefertigten Laufsohlen zu versehen, bei welchem diese Laufsohlen aufgeklebt werden. Diese Art der Sohlen können auch mit einem umlaufenden Rand versehen sein, an welchen das Obermaterial angenäht werden kann, wodurch das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk das Aussehen eines zwiegenähten Schuhwerkes erhält. Das erfindungsgemäße Schuhwerk zeichnet sich insbesondere jedoch dadurch aus, dass die Laufsohle angespritzt ist.The footwear according to the invention is suitable for virtually any kind of outsole. For glued-on outsoles, care must be taken that the adhesive for the outsole has a good bond with the outwardly turned-over end portion of the inner shaft and also encloses the existing seams. But it is also possible to provide the footwear according to the invention with prefabricated plastic material outsoles, in which these outsoles are glued. This type of soles can also be provided with a peripheral edge, to which the upper material can be sewn, whereby the shoe according to the invention the Obtains appearance of a double-stitched footwear. However, the footwear according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the outsole is injection-molded.

Durch die Entfernung des Futters kann eine flächige und besonders dichte Verbindung zwischen Funktionsschicht und Laufsohlenmaterial hergestellt werden.According to the embodiments shown in the figures, the footwear according to the invention has an outer shaft 1, an inner shaft, which consists of at least a watertight, water vapor permeable functional layer 2a, 2b and a lining 2, an insole 4 and an outsole 6. The end region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft 1 is folded outwards in such a way that the functional layer is arranged opposite in the entire end region and has a lower edge formed by folding. In the end region of the inner shaft, this no longer has any lining up to the inside, so that in this region the functional layer 2a is opposite the outsole and is therefore connected to it in a planar manner. By removing the lining a flat and particularly dense connection between functional layer and outsole material can be produced.

Der Innenschaft kann weiterhin eine weitere textile Schicht (der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht dargestellt), die auf der dem Außenschaft zugewandten Seite der Funktionsschicht 2a angeordnet, üblicherweise auflaminiert ist, aufweisen, die der Stabilisierung der Funktionsschicht dient. Diese Schicht kann auch in dem den Außenschaft überragenden Endbereich des Innenschaftes vorhanden sein, wobei diese Schicht dann zwischen den gegenüberliegenden angeordneten Bereiche der Funktionsschicht liegen. Weiterhin kann der Innenschaft zwischen der Funktionsschicht 2a und dem Futter 2 eine weitere, in den Figuren nicht dargestellte Schicht aufweisen, die elastisch kompressibel ausgebildet ist, um dem Träger des erfindungsgemäßen Schuhwerkes hohen Komfort zu bieten. Für diese Schicht haben sich wasserdampfdurchlässige Schaumlagen bestens bewährt.The inner shaft can furthermore have a further textile layer (not shown for reasons of clarity) which is arranged, usually laminated, on the side of the functional layer 2 a facing the outer shaft, which serves to stabilize the functional layer. This layer may also be present in the end region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft, this layer then lying between the oppositely arranged regions of the functional layer. Furthermore, the inner shaft between the functional layer 2a and the lining 2 may have a further layer, not shown in the figures, which is designed to be elastically compressible in order to provide the wearer of the footwear according to the invention with high comfort. For this layer, water vapor permeable foam layers have proven very good.

Das freie Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes 2b ist in den Figuren so dargestellt, dass es bündig an das untere Ende des Außenschaftes 1 stößt. Es ist aber auch möglich, dieses freie Ende mit dem Ende des Außenschaftes von außen oder von innen überlappend anzuordnen, was sich insbesondere dann empfiehlt, wenn es mit dem Außenschaft über einen Kleber verbunden werden soll. Es kann aber auch, wie bei der dargestellten bündigen Anordnung mit einer Naht 3 verbunden werden.The free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft 2b is shown in the figures so that it abuts flush with the lower end of the outer shaft 1. But it is also possible, this free end with the end of the outer shaft to arrange overlapping from the outside or from the inside, which is particularly recommended if it is to be connected to the outer shaft via an adhesive. But it can also, as in the illustrated flush arrangement with a seam 3 are connected.

Als Laufsohlen 6 können sowohl durch Anspritzen des noch flüssigen Laufsohlenmaterials erzeugte Laufsohlen als auch vorgefertigte Laufsohlen, die anschließend mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Schuhwerk verklebt werden, eingesetzt werden. Sofern vorgefertigte Laufsohlen verwendet werden, sind diese zumindest in dem Bereich, in dem die Laufsohle der Funktionsschicht gegenüberliegt, mit der Funktionsschicht wasserdicht verklebt. Es empfiehlt sich jedoch, diese vorgefertigte Laufsohle auch mit der Brandsohle 4 zu verkleben.As outsoles 6 both outsoles produced by injection molding of the still liquid outsole material as well as prefabricated outsoles, which are subsequently bonded to the footwear according to the invention, can be used. If prefabricated outsoles are used, they are glued to the functional layer waterproof at least in the area in which the outsole of the functional layer opposite. However, it is advisable to glue this prefabricated outsole also with the insole 4.

Gemäß Figur 1 ist die durch das Falten entstandene Unterkante des Innenschaftes 2, 2b mittels einer Naht 5 mit der Brandsohle 4 verbunden, welche Naht 5 bevorzugt aus einem Monofil gebildet ist. Durch die innige Verbindung des angespritzten Sohlenmaterials mit der Funktionsschicht einerseits und der Brandsohle andererseits, ist auch die Naht 5 wasserdicht von außen eingeschlossen, so dass kein Wasser in das Innere des Schuhwerke eindringen kann. Dies gilt auch für die Naht 3, welche das freie Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes 2b mit dem Außenschaft verbindet, und welche durch die innige Verbindung des Sohlenmaterials mit der Funktionsschicht einerseits und mit dem Außenschaft andererseits abgedichtet ist. Wird bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform eine vorgefertigte Sohle eingesetzt, sollte diese sowohl mit dem unteren Ende des Außenschaftes 1 als auch mit der Funktionsschicht 2b als auch mit der Brandsohle 4 wasserdicht verklebt werden. Sofern das Futter nicht entfernt wurde, werden hierzu besonders niedrig viskose Kleber empfohlen, um ein gute Tränkung des Futters mit dem Kleber zu gewährleisten.According to FIG. 1, the lower edge of the inner shaft 2, 2b formed by folding is connected to the insole 4 by means of a seam 5, which seam 5 is preferably formed from a monofilament. Due to the intimate connection of the molded sole material with the functional layer on the one hand and the insole on the other hand, the seam 5 is included waterproof from the outside, so that no water can penetrate into the interior of the footwear. This also applies to the seam 3, which connects the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft 2b with the outer shaft, and which is sealed by the intimate connection of the sole material with the functional layer on the one hand and with the outer shaft on the other. If a prefabricated sole is used in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, it should be glued in a watertight manner both to the lower end of the outer shaft 1 and to the functional layer 2b and also to the insole 4. If the food has not been removed, it is recommended to use very low-viscosity glue to ensure that the food is well soaked with the glue.

Gemäß Figur 2 ist ein Querschnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Schuhwerk mit niedriger Bauhöhe dargestellt, bei dem der den Außenschaft überragende Bereich des Innenschaftes nach innen zur Brandsohle hin gefaltet und parallel zur Laufsohle ausgerichtet ist. Für diese Ausführungsformen gelten dieselben Empfehlungen, wie sie bei Figur 1 aufgeführt sind. Bei der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform wird eine poröse Brandsohle 4a verwendet, bei welcher aufgrund ihrer Porosität das Laufsohlen- bzw. das Klebermaterial dies gut durchdringen kann und insofern die Naht 5 besonders gut abdichten kann. Als poröse Brandsohle hat sich insbesondere eine solche als besonders geeignet herausgestellt, die netzartig ausgebildet ist, wobei es von besonderem Vorteil ist, wenn die ein solches netzartiges Gebilde bildenden Fäden Monofile sind. Die Brandsohle kann aber auch nur im Randbereich porös ausgebildet sein, wie es in Figur 2a dargestellt ist. Hierbei ist die Brandsohle 4c mit einem Randbereich 4b versehen. Dieser Randbereich 4b kann auch so hergestellt werden, dass für diesen Randbereich ein umlaufendes poröses Band, welches mit der Brandsohle 4c verbunden, vorzugsweise vernäht ist, verwendet wird.2 shows a cross-section through a footwear according to the invention with a low construction height, in which the area of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft is folded inwards towards the insole and oriented parallel to the outsole. For these embodiments, the same recommendations apply, as shown in Figure 1. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, a porous insole 4a is used, in which due to their porosity, the outsole or the adhesive material can penetrate this well and insofar the seam 5 can seal very well. As a porous insole in particular such has proven to be particularly suitable, which is formed net-like, it being particularly advantageous if the such a net-like structure forming threads are monofilaments. However, the insole can also be made porous only in the edge region, as shown in FIG. 2a. In this case, the insole 4c is provided with an edge region 4b. This edge region 4b can also be produced in such a way that a circulating porous band, which is connected to the insole 4c, preferably sewn, is used for this edge region.

Gemäß Figur 3 ist ein Querschnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Schuhwerk mit niedriger Bauhöhe dargestellt, bei dem in Abwandlung der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform der den Außenschaft überragende Bereich des Innenschaftes nach innen zur Brandsohle 4 hin gefaltet und parallel zur Laufsohle 6 ausgerichtet ist. Die Brandsohle 4 ist durch die Schicht 7 nach unten abgedichtet. Die Laufsohle 6 ist eine vorgefertigte Laufsohle und ist zumindest in den Bereichen, in denen die Nähte 5 und 3 angeordnet sind, mit dem Außenschaft 1, dem den Außenschaft 1 überragenden Bereich des Innenschaftes und mit der Brandsohle wasserdicht verbunden.According to FIG. 3, a cross-section through a low-height footwear according to the invention is shown, in which, as a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft is folded inwards towards the insole 4 and aligned parallel to the outsole 6. The insole 4 is sealed by the layer 7 down. The outsole 6 is a prefabricated outsole and, at least in the areas in which the seams 5 and 3 are arranged, is connected in a watertight manner to the outer shaft 1, the region of the inner shaft projecting beyond the outer shaft 1 and to the insole.

Gemäß Figur 4 ist ein Querschnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Schuhwerk mit niedriger Bauhöhe dargestellt, bei dem in Abwandlung der in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform eine vorgefertigte Laufsohle 6a aufgesetzt ist, die auf der Innenseite Rinnen aufweist, wodurch diese Laufsohle stoßdämpfend wirkt. Um eine gute Abdichtung zum Schuhinnenraum zu erreichen, empfiehlt es sich, zunächst eine Dichtschicht 9 auf die Funktionsschicht 2b und die Brandsohle 4 aufzukleben oder anzuspritzen. Für diese Ausführungsformen gelten ansonsten dieselben Empfehlungen, wie sie bei Figur 1 aufgeführt sind.According to Figure 4 is a cross-section through a footwear according to the invention shown with a low height, in which, in a modification of the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a prefabricated outsole 6a is placed on has internal grooves, making this outsole shock absorbing. In order to achieve a good seal to the shoe interior, it is recommended to first glue or inject a sealing layer 9 on the functional layer 2b and the insole 4. Otherwise, the same recommendations as those listed in FIG. 1 apply to these embodiments.

Gemäß Figur 5 erfolgt im Gegensatz zu der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform die Verbindung zwischen dem freien Ende des nach außen gefalteten Innenschaftes über ein poröses Band 8, welches über die Naht 3a mit dem Innenschaft und über die Naht 3 mit dem Außenschaft verbunden ist. Dieses poröse Band 8 ist bevorzugt netzartig ausgebildet und besonders bevorzugt aus Monofilen hergestellt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform können die Nähte 3 und 3a vom Sohlenmaterial bzw. vom Kleber besonders gut wasserdicht eingeschlossen werden, wobei das Sohlenmaterial bzw. der Kleber das poröse Band 8 durchdringt und mit dem dem Band gegenüber liegenden Bereich der Funktionsschicht eine flächige und wasserdichte Verbindung eingehen kann.According to FIG. 5, in contrast to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the connection between the free end of the outwardly folded inner shaft takes place via a porous band 8, which is connected to the inner shaft via the seam 3a and to the outer shaft via the seam 3. This porous band 8 is preferably formed like a net, and more preferably made of monofilaments. In this embodiment, the seams 3 and 3a can be enclosed particularly well watertight by the sole material or by the adhesive, wherein the sole material or the adhesive penetrates the porous band 8 and can form a flat and watertight connection with the area of the functional layer opposite the band ,
