Definitions
- Mid-high and high heels for women are known. They generally comprise a wear outsole (walking), a heel, one or more insoles, a soleplate (covering), a vamp and sometimes a rod, all connected together.
- the sole so the set that is below the sole of the foot, has a double curvature, often reinforced by a cambrillon.
- Above the heel there is a slightly sloped rear region, then towards the middle, ie below the arc, a strongly inclined region and, towards the front, an almost flat and horizontal region.
- Middle or high heel shoes according to the state of the art have a major disadvantage. During prolonged wear one feels discomfort first and then undergoes pain and foot lesions. All this is caused by the strong push of the foot forward which is caused by the sliding of the foot on the slope of the sole below the bow and in the heel regipn.
- the subject of the invention is a mid-high or high heel shoe with a new build construction which retains the forward thrust of the foot and which dampens the shocks so as to increase comfort and protect the foot from injury. painful.
- the invention relates to all types of shoes, inserts and adhesive media.
- a second disadvantage is that the convex lump lasts for good circulation of blood in the forefoot.
- a third drawback is that the local pressure of the metatarsals in the bowl is very high. The local pressure is not reduced by the midsole so that callosities tend to develop.
- a fourth disadvantage is that there is no shock absorption in this bowl. Much of the weight of the body rests on the heads of the metatarsals. A compression shock is spreading at each step through the bones of the foot and leg to the spine. After a while the user may feel pain in the back.
- This invention of H. Jones aims to achieve insole inserts that provide better support to the front of the foot. This support must locally reduce the concentration of pressure below the head of the first and fifth metatarsals. The result is obtained using two openings in the sole filled with elastic inserts that are below the heads of the first and fifth metatarsals. A third elastic insert is further back, in the region of the arc, or below the second, third and fourth metatarsal bone. Thus, with low heel shoes, a better comfort is obtained.
- the first disadvantages of this invention are when applied to mid-high or high heels. Pushing and forward motion of the foot are not stopped. We do not avoid discomfort, pain, lesions, etc. caused to the forefoot when it gets stuck in the upper.
- the effect of the slightly concave slope is to reduce the thrust in front of the foot.
- the support fulfills its function with plsjts and mid-high heels. It is also useful when the size of the shoe is somewhat too big.
- a first disadvantage of this support appears with shoes with high heels. The slope weaker rising is not enough then to retain the push forward of the foot. Discomfort and pains in the forefoot are no longer avoided.
- a second disadvantage also occurs with high heel shoes when walking for a prolonged period of time. The cushioning below the heads of the metatarsals is no longer sufficient to ensure optimal comfort.
- a third disadvantage is that the toes are lodged lower than the metatarsals. This position of the toes hinders the blood circulation, especially if the material of the steep slope of the support is not very soft.
- a fourth disadvantage is aesthetic in nature when the support is used with open shoes such as sandals. When we look at the side, we see the support whose color is usually not the same as that of the shoe.
- Patent Application WO 89/06502 published July 27, 1989.
- This invention by H. Dananberg relates to a mid-high or high heel shoe whose shape prevents the foot from sliding forward and jamming in the upper.
- the shoe has, for the front, middle and rear of the insole, longitudinal inclination angles that are different from those used so far. When a user is standing, without much walking, these shoes have improved comfort.
- a first disadvantage of these shoes is that, in walking, they suppress partially Ie 1 S movements of coming and going of the foot and thus overheating by friction of the sole of the foot under the heads of the metatarsals.
- a second disadvantage is that they do not attenuate the shocks that propagate from the metatarsal heads through the bones of the feet and legs to the joints of the knees, hips and spine.
- a third drawback is that the invention adapts badly to heels more than 8 cm in height.
- a fourth drawback arises from the fact that the front part is inclined upwards which gives the shoes according to the invention an unsightly appearance.
- Patent Application JP2002262902 published September 17, 2002.
- This invention of T. Okimoto relates to an insole for high heel shoes that improves lateral stability.
- the sole in its front part, is padded on those sides with a thick wall part that stabilizes the foot against rolling movements. When a user walks on a cross slope or on uneven ground these insoles give him improved support.
- a first disadvantage of these soles is that, in high heel shoes, they do not stop the push of the foot forward. The discomfort and pains of the forefoot are not reduced.
- a second disadvantage is that walking these soles do not reduce the movements of up and down the foot and thus overheating by friction of the sole of the foot under the heads of the metatarsals.
- a third disadvantage relates to the difficulty of putting on and taking off shoes equipped with soles according to the invention and a fourth drawback that in use the feet are cramped.
- This patent application by K. Brannon relates to inserts for shoes, especially for open sandals and high heels shoes.
- the inserts are very thin, between 0.5 and 1, 6 mm. According to the inventor, they prevent the foot from sliding forward, while being thin enough to avoid damage to the foot by friction in the upper. They include a bottom surface that is attached by adhesive to the sockliner. Their upper surface is made of a non-slip material, for example rubber, Neoprene TM, a plastic material, cork or leather, so as to cling to the foot.
- the inserts are placed through the inside of the shoe so that the metatarsals rest on it.
- a third disadvantage is that it is not possible to make shoes open on the heel.
- a fourth disadvantage is that the insole has too many geometric elements to suit the slightly different shape of each foot. It is therefore necessary to provide for each size a whole assortment of insoles. This leads to an increase in the selling price of shoes.
- Patent Application WO2004 / 093584 published November 4, 2004.
- This invention by HJ Dananberg describes an insole that operates similarly to that of the shoe in the US5782015 patent application of the same author, published July 21, 1998.
- the sole may be mounted in shoes of conventional shape either in the factory or in store.
- the sole has two very low hills, the first just in front of the calceneum bone and the second more forward, below the stems of the metatarsal bones.
- Under the heads of the metatarsals and towards the front of the shoe the sole according to the invention has no hill or valley, it is flat, homogeneous and thin.
- the sole reduces the strength, characteristic of high-heeled shoes, which pushes the shoe forward.
- the disadvantages of the soles according to this invention are essentially the same as those of the shoes described in the US5782015 patent application of the same author. In addition these insoles are insubstantial on open shoes.
- the present invention relates to shoes with medium or high heels which make it possible to avoid all the disadvantages of the shoes described in the patents and patent applications mentioned above.
- the shoes according to the present invention aim at the following advantages:
- This assembly according to the invention is provided with a transverse hill.
- the transverse hill is preferably oriented slightly obliquely so as to be just behind the toes and in front of the heads of the five metatarsals.
- the transverse hill is either permanently present or protrudes only during the elastic deformation of the sole under the weight of the foot. In both cases, we obtain a sloping slope towards the back of the shoe on which the metatarsal heads, which are located behind, meet. The slope holds them down and thus prevents the foot from sliding forward. It is necessary that the transverse hill has a height and inclination of its appropriate slopes.
- the transverse hill is made of an elastic or viscoelastic material which, advantageously, is not very compressible. Its elastic resistance must be sufficiently weak to deform under the forward thrust of the metatarsal heads. It cushioned the sudden shocks of the foot when walking on hard ground while returning each time to its original form.
- the elastic resistance of the transverse hill must remain high enough to transmit the said thrust forwards to the sole and to return each time to its original form.
- the incompressibility of the material means that the volume of the transverse hill remains constant when it is deformed by a forward thrust of the metatarsal heads. At the moment when a local indentation is formed the material produces a bead around it which increases the total contact area and thus reduces the local pressure.
- a cellular material such as rubber foam is highly compressible; it is therefore less useful for making a transverse hill.
- Soft but soft elastomers having a Shore 00 scale hardness of between about 20 and 60 are preferably used. Optimum materials are Technogel TM 125 to 145 from Technogel Konigsee GmbH.
- the boot according to the invention advantageously comprises a median cushion, it is of approximately rectangular shape, where
- the median cushion is also made of a resilient material or viscoelastic little compressible, but it is softer than that of the transverse hill.
- the middle cushion supports most of the weight of the person. It is deformed locally under the vertical pressure exerted by the metatarsal heads. The incompressibility of the material means that its volume remains constant when it is deformed by this weight. The contact areas of the metatarsal heads are thus increased and the local pressure reduced.
- the median cushion also supports shear forces.
- the median cushion is extended to also cover the rear part of the sole, the false flat heel included.
- An improved embodiment of the high-heeled shoe according to the invention also has a front cushion of approximately semi-lunar shape. It is placed and fixed at the front of the transverse hill, so below the toes of the foot.
- the front cushion increases the contact areas between the toes and the sole. It decreases the local pressure and helps immobilize the foot. It also avoids a poor circulation of blood and makes the shoe according to the invention even more comfortable.
- the middle and front cushions can be made in different ways.
- the cushions have a preformed, flexible, watertight and mechanically tensile envelope which encloses a viscoelastic gel, a viscous liquid, a suspension or a granule.
- Such cushions are deformable but not very compressible. When a local force is exerted by the foot, they yield progressively while keeping the same volume. They take over the original shape as soon as the local force is removed.
- a viscoelastic gel or granule can only move a short distance.
- Such cushions are preferred because they provide lateral and longitudinal stability to a foot that rests on their surface. A user may lift the other foot without losing balance and walking on uneven ground.
- such cushions resist the shear forces that come from the forward pushing of the foot and transmit them to the sole. Finally when such cushions are torn accidentally or 1 per wear, there is no liquid flowing.
- the cushions also have a flexible, tight and tensile-resistant casing but they are filled with a liquid or suspension of high viscosity.
- This embodiment allows the contents to move transversely and longitudinally from one edge of the cushion to the other.
- the disadvantage of this embodiment is a less good stability of the foot.
- Two median cushions could be provided, one to support the metatarsal head of the big toe and a second to support the heads of the other metatarsals.
- Another embodiment of the cushions uses a preformed, porous, flexible and mechanically tensile envelope, which is filled with a granule. Such cushions allow sweat to escape through the entire surface of the soles of the feet. Shoes with such cushions are advantageous especially in warm climates.
- the median cushion with its mechanical tensile envelope is provided with a reinforcement, for example a plate below or a ring or a frame around.
- a reinforcement for example a plate below or a ring or a frame around.
- the transverse hill made of a viscoelastic material, is protruding permanently relative to the front of the sole. Without cushions, such an embodiment makes it possible to retain the forward thrust of the foot as long as the heel is mid-high.
- This embodiment is particularly useful for producing adhesive media according to the invention.
- a transverse hill provided with a reinforcement is then provided to be able to attach this adhesive support in a reversible manner to the sole assembly. Used together with a medial cushion and front, a protruding transverse hill, permanently attached to the sole, allows to retain the foot pressure even when the heel is high.
- a transverse hill In a useful embodiment especially for shoes with closed upper is used a transverse hill, a median cushion and a front cushion which all have the same thickness. When the shoe is empty, the entire front surface of the sole is then practically flat. This gives the advantage of being able to more easily put on and take off such closed shoes. It is enough to unload the foot of the body weight when it is slipped into the shoe and likewise when it is released.
- the transverse hill only protrudes when the median cushion is loaded with the body pofds. It then yields elastically under the pressure of the metatarsal heads.
- the transverse hill more rigid and less stressed in pressure than the median cushion, hardly deforms. It fills the space at the root of the toes and forms a stop that prevents the foot from sliding forward.
- the transverse hill, together with the medial cushion solicited by the weight of the forefoot, thus forms a structure that retains a major part of the forward thrust of the metatarsal heads.
- the front part of the sole of a high-heeled shoe is practically flat and close to the horizontal.
- the sizing of the elements according to the invention must, for each size, correspond to the anatomical shape of a corresponding average foot.
- the optimum dimensions for the transverse hill and the cushions must be chosen each time.
- the dimensions for a medium shoe size 38 with a high heel between 5 and 10 cm are as follows:
- the front cushion measures approximately 4 cm and the transverse hill approximately 2.3 cm in length of the shoe.
- the median cushion has a constant thickness over a length of about 4.2 cm and a thickness gradually decreased over an additional length of about 2.0 cm. If remains an upper sole not covered with the median cushion which measures still about 11, 2 cm in length until Behind the heel.
- the rear slope of the transverse hill forms a stop which retains a significant part of the thrust of the foot forward.
- the remaining part of the forward foot thrust must be held by the shear force between the sole of the foot and the sockliner.
- the sockliner must have, on its upper surface, a coefficient of average friction. It is advantageous that the coefficient of friction has a mean value. With a low coefficient of friction the push of the foot forward would not be fully restrained and the foot could slide over the transverse hill.
- An advantageous embodiment provides a hydrophilic insole that is surface-structured and / or porous in volume. Made of woven or non-woven fabric or leather, it spreads moisture sideways to remove sweat from the soles of the feet. Such an airy outsole is useful in hot, humid weather and also when the body weight of the carrier is high.
- the shoe equipped with a median cushion, dampens more vertical shocks and t forward when walking on hard ground. It protects the joints of the knees, hips and spine.
- the insole, the median cushion, the transverse ribs and the front cushion are deformed reversibly under the weight of the body.
- the sole must therefore be constructed so that its internal rigidity remains adequate and that the anchors of the upper, the upper and the heel remain solid.
- the rear of the sole, the upper, the rod, the outsole and the heel do not undergo any additional stress.
- Their durability is therefore equivalent to that of the usual shoes.
- customers want to keep the possibility of replacing the outsole or heel with a shoemaker; this remains possible.
- the insole and the perimeter of the sole should look like the usual shoes and withstand wear. Stylists who design shoes according to the invention can give free rein to their creativity. They can adapt from year to year to changes in fashion so that they always remain elegant and varied.
- Mid-high or high heel shoes according to the invention may be closed or open on their periphery.
- Boots, boots, pumps, etc. are closed shoes.
- Mules, sandals, etc. are open shoes on at least a part of the periphery.
- the shoes according to the invention are closed their visual appearance is not modified compared to the usual shoes, except that the sole is thicker than a few millimeters.
- the transverse hill and the two cushions are easily lodged.
- the visual aspect of the sole according to the invention must be taken into account. Indeed, with such shoes the transverse hill and the two cushions become visible on the edges which is not satisfactory from the aesthetic point of view.
- a first embodiment provides an insole flowing over its periphery qyi is folded and fixed on the edges of the sole so as to hide the transverse hill and cushions placed just below.
- the shoe is assembled separately, that is to say the bottom of the sole and the elements of the upper, for example straps.
- the advantage of this first embodiment is that it allows to make the footbed according to the invention both solid, waterproof and aesthetically valid. They are mounted at the factory or delivered separately to the retail stores in the form of insert inserts to be glued on site.
- a second embodiment provides shoes with mid-high heels or high with a sole provided with a rim on its front and side-front to form one or more bowls.
- a sole equipped with a rim it is possible to integrate the transverse hill and / or the cushions directly into the sole.
- the bowl or bowls must be watertight downwards. They can then be used as receptacles for liquids, suspensions, preferably viscoelastic gels or a fluid soft granule. For example, two viscoelastic gels are used for an assembly with three cuvettes.
- the second bowl, the transverse hill is filled to the brim with a medium viscoelastic hardness gel and the other two with a softer gel.
- a soft cork tongue is used to obtain the transverse hill function.
- a polymer sole is formed with two wells and a wide lateral transverse edge between the two which is used directly as a transverse hill.
- the front and middle cuvettes are filled with viscoelastic gel or soft granule to obtain both cushions.
- the three or both cuvettes are covered with a flexible, traction-resistant, flexible insole preferably having an upper surface with an average coefficient of friction.
- the insole must be frost-proof and cover each bowl around its circumference.
- mid-high or high heel shoes that have a thick midsole throughout the length. Wedge soles easily combine with a transverse hill and cushions. It is possible to manufacture compensated shoes according to the invention in all the embodiments described above.
- the main advantage of the compensated shoes according to the invention is a maximum height gain in combination with standing comfort and high running. These shoes allow small women, when addressing other people, to look at them without having to look up.
- Mid-high or high heeled wedge shoes are also durable and comfortable to wear, even when the floor is soaked in water or cold.
- a mark and / or a logo can be placed a distinctive drawing. It is affixed advantageously on the visible part of the insole or in a protected area of the outsole.
- Known techniques of bulk dyeing, surface printing, stamping, etc. are used. on a polymer, leather, fabrics, etc.
- the advantage of a distinctive design is the rapid recognition of shoes, inserts, middle pads, adhesive mounts and straight transverse hills according to the invention. This facilitates the marketing and the work of the staff in the stores. At the same time, customers are allowed to recognize and identify themselves as well as possible with the shoes according to the invention.
- the shoes are fully assembled in the factory and the customers buy the finished product.
- clients buy pairs of shoes from the store and each time one or more pairs of insoles.
- clients buy pairs of shoes and in addition one or more pairs of median cushions.
- customers buy pairs of adhesive mounts to stick on conventional shoes.
- the first way goes through assembly, so gluing, welding, etc. definitive of the transverse hill, cushion (s) and sockliner during the manufacture of the shoe.
- This assembly route remains close to the usual methods.
- a shape having an additional height of a few millimeters is chosen to take into account the thickness of the footbed according to the invention. Sew, glue and / or mold the outsole and / or wear and the mid-high heel or high. At the end we slide and glue the footbed according to the invention inside pre-assembled shoe.
- the benefits of the first track are lower manufacturing, distribution and sales costs.
- the shoes are especially suitable for people who, in relation to the size of their feet, have an average body weight. From the point of view of design this first way is also advantageous because it allows to make shoes that leave all the freedom to the stylists.
- the second way involves the manufacture of shoes in the factory and insole soles separately.
- the shoe assembly along the second lane resembles that of the first lane.
- a shape with an additional height of, for example, 5 to 10 millimeters is always used.
- the difference is that the sole according to the invention is set up later, at the store sale.
- the shoes include a sole, a high heel and a vamp.
- According to the embodiment of the insert insoles hold their shape or using an adhesive sheet.
- the arch of the upper is formed higher so that the insole can be attached to the stores without the foot being cramped.
- Insertion soles which are plantar bases, are assembled at the factory. They include a front cushion, a transverse hill and a medial cushion that are attached end to end.
- a first advantage of this second route concerns the manufacturing process. It is virtually identical to that for mid-high or high heel shoes. It is sufficient that the vault of the upper is a few millimeters higher.
- a second benefit is that we can best serve clients who have an average body weight. This requires having in stock, for each size, for example three types of insoles different insertion.
- a third advantage appears in hot, humid countries. It is then possible for clients to purchase multiple pairs of insoles for a single pair of shoes and replace them as soon as it becomes necessary.
- the third way is through the manufacture of high-heeled or mid-high shoes with a front cushion and an incorporated transverse hill. In place of the median cushion they have an empty bowl in the sole. It is provided with an element which ensures the attachment of the median cushion by its shape, adhesion, Velcro TM or otherwise.
- the assembly of these shoes is facilitated by the insertion of a temporary median cushion. The shape is then placed and the stem and the upper are mounted. At the end of the assembly, remove the shape and the temporary median cushion. This creates a bowl in the shoe whose dimensions are controlled.
- the final median cushion according to the invention is set up later at the store of sale.
- the factory also manufactures detached median cushions for the required number of sizes and, for example, each in three different viscoelastic hardnesses: soft cushions for light people, medium cushions for middleweights and cushions hard for high body weights.
- the median cushions detached are advantageously provided with a reinforcement that allows their attachment to the counterpart in the tubjte of the shoe.
- the attachment is preferably reversible, the user can insert and detach at will at the store or at home.
- the benefits of the third lane appear in use by clients who have above average body weight and have to stand for long hours. They choose for their high-heeled shoes median cushions that ensure the best possible comfort. Median cushions are usually the most requested part. As soon as necessary the users can detach the worn cushions and replace them with new ones.
- the fourth way involves the manufacture of separate adhesive media with transverse hills. These adhesive mounts are sold in-store to be fixed by the users on their usual mid-high heeled shoes.
- a first advantage of the fourth way is that users can improve the comfort of their usual shoes without spending too much extra.
- a second advantage is that they can join the transverse hills exactly to the place that corresponds to the shape of their feet.
- the pushing force is doubled.
- the foot is pressed against the conical part with a force of about 280 N.
- the force with which the front of the foot is pressed in a usual shoe up against the vamp thus reaches at each step about 50f6 of the weight of the person.
- the remaining 50% of the weight of the person is supported by the rear part of the sole. This is the case for the usual shoes with high heel and also for the shoes according to the invention.
- the second shock enters through the front part of the shoe, from where it is transmitted to the heads of the metatarsals. During normal operation, the force transmitted by this second shock is approximately equal to the weight of the carrier. In conventional high-heeled shoes this second shock is practically not cushioned. It spreads in a straight line through the bones of the foot and leg to the spine. This results in knee and back pain. Our biomechanical analysis shows that we can easily explain all the lesions caused by usual high-heeled shoes.
- a height of the transverse hill of about 5 mm is sufficient to prevent the foot from gliding forward.
- the average slope of the front and rear slopes of the hill was chosen around 45 °.
- the transverse hill is advantageously made of a viscoelastic material, such as I Technogel TM 145 which deforms weakly under the weight of the foot.
- a viscoelastic material such as I Technogel TM 145 which deforms weakly under the weight of the foot.
- a thickness of the 5mm medial and forward cushions is enough to decisively improve the comfort of high heel shoes.
- the hardness of the median cushion should be chosen so that it reversibly compresses under the weight of the metatarsal heads by approximately 50% to 80% of its thickness.
- This scale ranges from + 2 (a dream) to +1 (better than the reference) to 0 (reference shoe at the beginning of the experiment), to -1 (discomfort), to -2 (intermittent pain), to - 3 (persistent pain) and - 4 (strong persistent pain).
- Left foot and right foot assessments were done first every 10 minutes and then every 20 minutes, for a total of 10 assessments for each foot over a total of 120 minutes (two hours). The person performing the tests has been standing all the time without ever sitting down. She stayed some time on the spot and another she walked on horizontal and sloping ground.
- Technogel TM 145 of a thickness 5 or 10 mm.
- Technogel TM plates from 125 (soft), 130, 135 and 145 (hard). These plates contain a viscoelastic gel sealed in a thin flexible and waterproof envelope so as to form flat cushions.
- We cut the plates each time in the shape of the transverse hills and the desired front and middle cushions.
- the 11th test was made with a pair of high-heeled shoes of 10 cm, equipped with a pair of socks according to the invention.
- Technogel TM type 125 With a thickness of 5 mm also.
- For the usual shoes the wearing period when they are fully comfortable standing is only about 20 minutes. With the shoes according to the experiment 11 one arrives at a discomfort (-1) after 240 minutes, thus after 4 hours. With usual shoes we feel the same discomfort after 40 to 60 minutes already.
- the advantageous thicknesses for the front cushion, the transverse hill and the median cushion are between 3 to 7 mm when the shoes are used normally, so for 2 or 4 hours. standing without interruption. Thicknesses between 8 mm and 20 mm are useful for people with very sensitive feet and toes.
- Our tests have shown that for a woman of average height and weight, the transverse hill is advantageously used with Technogel TM 145 or another material with similar viscoelastic properties.
- Technogel TM 130 or similar material is preferably used for the front and middle cushions. This gives the following major advantage:
- the shoes according to the invention with high heels of 10 cm can be comfortably worn while standing without sitting for 3.5 hours.
- the fully comfortable wearing time is 2.7 times longer than that with shoes without transverse hill according to the invention but covered with identical cushions.
- Fully comfortable wearing time with shoes according to the invention is 11 times longer than that with usual shoes otherwise identical, so without transverse hill and without cushions.
- the comfortable wearing time with mid-high heels according to the invention should also be several times longer than with otherwise identical conventional shoes.
- the high-heels) or mid-high shoes according to the invention allow for the first time to women of small and medium size to perform all professional and private activities enjoying full and without pain of the appreciation and financial benefits offered to their larger counterparts.
- the different embodiments of the shoes according to the invention allow the realization of a Jarge range of advantageous designs. They require few changes compared to conventional shoes. It is sufficient that in the front the sole is thick enough to accommodate the hill and the cushions. By choosing for the transverse hill and the cushions a thickness of 3 to 7 mm it is possible to use a sole which is only slightly thicker than usual.

- the transverse hill (2) is oriented slightly obliquely, so as to stand between the heads of the metatarsals (3) and the toes (4).
- the transverse hill (2) is about 1.5 cm in the direction of the length of the shoe and its height is about 5 mm.
- the transverse hill (2) is made of an elastic or viscoelastic material, thus a weakly crosslinked polymer.
- the first mounting (1) is made by injection of a resilient plastic material, it is possible to integrate the transverse hill (2) directly.
- the insole (7) is flexible and resistant to traction.
- Elje is glued along the entire length of the sole and forms a ripple so as to also cover the transverse hill (2). It has a coefficient of friction at least medium.
- the insole (7) advantageously has a distinctive pattern (8), printed or stamped in the mass so as to indicate the mark and logo for the shoe according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents the soleing of a high-heeled shoe.
- the upper and the upper are not drawn because they are made in the same way as for a usual shoe.
- the transverse hill (2) makes the heads of the metatarsals (3) abut and thus prevents the foot from sliding forward. It measures in the direction of the length of the shoe about 1.5 cm and its thickness is about 8 mm.
- the transverse hill (2) comprises a preformed, flexible and watertight envelope (11) which resists mechanical tension.
- the casing (11) contains a low compressible and elastic viscous gel (12) so as to dampen forward shocks when walking.
- the transverse hill (2) is advantageously filled with a Technogel TM gel 135 or 145.
- the first mounting (1) carries, behind the transverse hill (2), therefore under the heads of the metatarsals (3).
- a median cushion (13) glued on its lower surface. It is approximately rectangular in shape. Its thickness at the front is for example 5 mm, towards the back the thickness gradually decreases towards 0.
- the median cushion (13) is deformed locally under the static force of the body weight exerted by the heads of the metatarsals (3) .
- the cushion (13) When the carrier is running, the cushion (13) also dampens the dynamic shocks of the heads of the metatarsals (3) in compression and shear forward.
- the first of assembly (1) carries in addition, in front of transverse hill, therefore under the fingers of the foot (4), a front cushion (14) glued on its lower surface. It is of approximately semi-lunar shape and its thickness is constant, for example 5 mm.
- the front cushion (14) measures approximately 4.0 cm in length of the shoe
- the transverse hill (2) measures approximately 2.3 cm
- the median cushion (13) measures approximately 4.2 cm in constant thickness and approximately 2.0 cm on an additional length where the thickness gradually decreases towards 0.
- the rear part of the first mounting (1) up to the back of the false flat heel, not covered with a cushion, which measures approximately 11.2 cm in length.
- the front cushion (14), the transverse hill (2), the medial cushion (13) and the rear part of the first mounting (1) are covered by a sockliner (7) which forms a corrugation at the location from the transverse hill (2).
- the insole (I) advantageously has a medium coefficient of friction and carries a logo (8).
- the middle (13) and front (14) cushions each include a preformed, flexible, watertight envelope that resists mechanical tension. These envelopes each enclose a viscous gel that is not very compressible. When the cushions are deformed by the weight of the body they keep about the same volume and return to their original shape as soon as the weight is removed. The viscosity of the gel and chosen so that the cushions approximately double the contap areas under the weight of the body relative to a solid sole. For a person of average weight is advantageously used Technogel TM 130 gel. The cushions then reduce the pressure, so the force per unit area exerted on the soles of the feet to about half compared to a hard surface.
- FIG. 3 represents the soleing of a high-heeled shoe.
- the empeigee and the stem are not drawn. To facilitate understanding the different parts are shown separate and transparent.
- This example is similar to Example 2 but with a sole whose upper surface is flat when not stressed. It also shows a variant where the median cushion (13) is of long shape so extended to the back of the heel.
- the middle cushions (13) e ⁇ . fronts (14) have a thickness of 5 mm which is equal to that of the transverse hill (2).
- the entire medial and forward surface of the unsolicited sole is flat.
- the median (13) and front (14) cushions crash in part.
- the transverse hill (2) less stressed in pressure and same time harder than the two cushions (13) and (14) becomes prominent.
- the rear median cushion (13) has a length of 17.4 cm.
- the front and middle cushions are preferably made of Technogel TM 130 and the Technogel TM 145 transverse hill or other materials with similar viscoelastic properties.
- the front cushion (14), the transverse hill (2), the medial cushion (13) and the rear part of the first mounting (1) are covered by a sockliner (J) which bears a logo (8).
- the insole (7) advantageously has a coefficient of average friction.
- Embodiment 4 shows the sole of a high-heeled shoe with a separate medial cushion.
- the upper and the upper are not drawn because they are made in the same way as for a usual shoe. To facilitate understanding the different parts are shown separate and transparent.
- Example 4 is similar to Example 2 but with a medial cushion that can be attached and detached.
- On the first mounting (1) is fixed a transverse hill (2) which kinks the heads of the metatarsals (3) and prevents the foot from sliding forward.
- the first mounting (1) also carries a front cushion (14).
- This cushion (14) and the transverse hill (2) are advantageously covered with the front part of a sockliner (7a). Behind the transverse hill (2) semeiage presents a median bowl (21).
- the shoe further includes a separate medial cushion (22) which, for example, is secured with an adhesive layer in the bowl (21).
- the median cushion (22) is advantageously covered with the middle part of a sockliner (7b).
- different median cushions (22) of the same size but with different viscoelastic properties are produced and offered at the sales store.
- Technogel TM 130 or similar material For medium weight users or use eg Technogel TM 130 or similar material.
- Technogel TM 125 or similar material is used.
- Technogel TM 135 or a similar material is used.
- the client chooses the median cushion (22) whose viscoelastic properties correspond to the weight of the client.
- the cushion (22) selected is then attached with its adhesive layer in the bowl (21). Once in place the cushion (22) transmits the shear forces exerted by the foot to the bowl (21) so that it does not slide forward.
- FIG. 5 again shows the soleing of a heel shoe.
- the upper and the upper are not drawn. To facilitate understanding the different parts are shown separate and transparent.
- the upper portion of the sole includes a thick mounting first (1) which houses a bowl (31) with a peripheral edge (32).
- the bowl (31) houses the front cushion (14), the transverse hill (2) and the median cushion (13). Their upper surfaces are preferably at the same level when they are not solicited by the weight of the foot.
- the edge (32) laterally hides the three elements (14), (2) and (13) and retains them longitudinally and laterally. They can be assembled in one piece which is then glued in the bowl (31).
- the soleing further comprises a flexible sockliner (7) which covers the three elements (14), (2) and (13).
- the sole (J) is made of a porous and hydrophilic material, for example a woven or non-woven fabric, leather, etc. so as to diffuse and evacuate moisture from the soles of the feet.
- the compensated shoe makes it possible to use cushions (14) and (13) and a transverse hill (2) of a thickness from 8 mm to 15 mm.
- the height of the edge (32) of the bowl (31) is advantageously chosen to be a few millimeters smaller than the thickness of the cushions (14) and (13) and the transverse hill (2). This dimensioning ensures that the foot is not obstructed by the edge (32) when it is solicited by the weight of the person.
- the thickness of the first mounting (1) is between 10 and 20 mm. This great thickness fits seamlessly into a wedge heel shoe.
- An alternative is to integrate the transverse hill (2) of a viscoelastic material in the first mounting (1) and realize the cushions (13) and (14) filling the bowls with a soft granule.
- the porous textile sockliner (7) is then glued and sealed to the edge (32) to enclose the granule.
- the lower part of the sole comprises a wedge block, which is preferably hollow (33) and an outsole (6). This embodiment allows users to gain maximum height and at the same time comfort.
- FIG. 6 shows a separate insole according to the invention.
- the closed shoe with its sole, its upper and upper is not drawn because it is made almost like a normal shoe. The only difference is that the free height of the upper is increased to compensate for the thickness of the insole.
- the insole is inserted into the shoe either in the factory, the sales store or the end user. It is advantageously retained in place by its shape which corresponds to that of the inside of the shoe. It can be replaced when worn before the shoe.
- the insole may be made of different elastic hardnesses. It can then be chosen so that its elastic properties are adapted to the weight of the user.
- the insole includes a long base sheet, thus extended to the back of the heel (41), a front cushion (14), a transverse hill (2), a medial cushion (13) and a insole (J).
- An advantageous way of manufacturing the insole is as follows: The base sheet (41) is molded together with the transverse hill (2) in a single material of suitable elasticity to obtain a support (42). Then glue the front cushion (14) and the median cushion (13) on this support (42). Finally, we glue the insole (7) to obtain the insole.
- the thicknesses of the front cushion (14), the transverse hill (2) and the medial cushion (13) are preferably chosen so that the insert sole has no hump.
- the carrier (42) is made of a material of higher elastic hardness than that of the front (14) and medial (13) cushions.
- Embodiment 7, Figure 7 shows an adhesive support according to the invention which is produced separately from the shoe. It shows, below, the sole of a usual shoe with high heel. The upper and the upper are not drawn.
- the adhesive support, above, is attached to the front part of the sole, which is done either by the shop assistant or by the user.
- the adhesive support comprises a transverse hill (2), a sockliner (7) fixed above and a self-adhesive sheet (51) fixed below.
- the width of the adhesive backing at the hill transverse (2) is chosen almost equal to the width of the foot so as to ensure a good lateral distribution of the weight. At the same time, it is avoided that the support is visible from the side when the shoe is worn.
- the adhesive support advantageously begins just in front of the transverse hill (2) and preferably terminates at the rear of the flat portion of the sole. At the rear of the transverse hill (2), the adhesive support is thin so as not to put the foot in the cramped shoe.
- the transverse hill (2) is made of an elastic or viscoelastic material, for example Technogel 135.
- the rounded profile and the width of the transverse hill, as well as its obliqueness, are chosen from sqrte to correspond to the empty space that is found under the foot just in front of the metatarsal heads and behind the fat of the toes.
- the insole (7) is resistant to traction and somewhat elastic. It forms the upper part of the adhesive support, covers the transverse hill (2) and extends below the metatarsals. It advantageously has a non-slip upper surface with a medium coefficient of friction. It helps to hold the foot when it is pushed forward.
- the insole (7) advantageously carries a distinctive pattern (8), printed or stamped in the mass, so as to indicate the mark and the logo of the adhesive support.
- the self-adhesive foil (51) forms the lower portion of the adhesive backing. It is glued under the transverse hill (2) and under the insole (7).
- the adhesive layer (51) makes it possible to fix the adhesive support on the sole of a shoe.
- the adhesive support according to the invention is easy to fix in all types of shoes with mid-high heel or high, open or closed. It prevents the foot from sliding forward while removing nothing from the elegant exterior visual appearance of the shoe.
- the embodiment 8 relates to the sole of a high-heeled shoe with a transverse collar, a front cushion and a median cushion essentially as in Example 2.
- the upper and possibly also the upper of this shoe are partly open on the sides. They are made for example in one or more strips so as to form a sandalette or a mule.
- the front cushion and the median cushion is used an overflowing outsole that is folded and fixed, for example glued under the edges of the sole.
- Such open shoes are often used in hot climates. Alternatively they are used in the evening in rooms with high air temperature.
- a sockliner made of a porous, hydrophilic material is preferably used which diffuses and removes moisture from the soles of the feet laterally.
