Definitions

  • shoe 10 includes an upper 11 that is attached to a sole structure 12.
  • Embodiments include shoes having sole structures of numerous widely varying types.
  • a sole structure in some embodiments may be, e.g., a single piece molded from synthetic rubber or other material.
  • a sole structure may include multiple components that have been sequentially molded or otherwise bonded together.
  • a sole structure may include a midsole formed from a first material (e.g., foamed ethylene vinyl acetate) bonded to an outsole formed from different materials (e.g., synthetic rubber).
  • composite panel 15 covers the lateral sides of the midfoot and forefoot.
  • composite panel 15 extends from below the top edge 20 of sole structure 12 on the lateral side, over the mid- and forefoot side regions, and under the lateral side of an eyelet reinforcing strip 21.
  • the rear lateral side of composite panel 15 extends under the forward lateral edge 22 of foxing panel 16.
  • composite panel 15 also covers the medial sides of the wearer forefoot and midfoot. Similar to the lateral side, the medial side of composite panel 15 extends from below the top edge 20 of sole structure 12, over the mid- and forefoot side regions, and under reinforcing strip 21.
  • FIG. 2 offers several advantages. It is often desirable to include raised ridges or other types of surface contours in a footwear upper. Such contours may have aesthetic and/or functional purposes. For example, zones of increased thickness may provide additional support and/or additional cushioning in certain regions. Adding surface contours presents certain challenges when using meshes and other types of lightweight materials, however. Stitching a contouring element to a mesh material can be difficult, particularly with meshes having more open weave patterns. Moreover, stitching operations can be time consuming and expensive, and thus it is often desirable to minimize the amount of stitching needed.
  • Bonding or stitching a contour element to the outside of a mesh or other lightweight upper material can also present problems.
  • a contour element that is attached in such a fashion may be prone to separation. If an interface between a contour element and an exterior face of an upper is exposed, that interface might be snagged as a wearer foot brushes against external objects. As a result, the contour element might begin to separate from the upper. With the construction shown in FIG. 2 , however, the interface between the contouring element and backing 29 (e.g., edges e2) is protected by outer panel 29.
  • a contour element to the outer surface of a mesh panel might also have other disadvantages. Such an attachment might be aesthetically unpleasing and result in an upper with an unfinished and/or ragged look.
  • Conforming a mesh or other lightweight panel to a contouring element permits creation of an upper with a more finished overall appearance. For example, a mesh pattern that extends across much of an upper can be overlaid onto the contour element. This helps blend the contour elements with other portions of the upper.
  • the tension of the mesh material on the surface of a contour element can help soften the edges of the contour element and give it a more rounded appearance.
  • backing 29 is a polyester knit material having a layer of unactivated hot melt bonding agent pre-applied to surface 66.
  • a backing material may not include a pre-applied hot melt agent layer. Instead, a separate layer of hot melt bonding agent material having the same shape as backing 29 could be placed over surface 66 after backing 29 has been placed on jig 60.
  • a backing may have a thickness (TB from FIG. 2 ) of approximately 0.5 millimeters.
