Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe having a stabilizer.
  • heel counters for stabilizing the heel when running or walking are well known in the art.
  • roll-up structures for suppressing lateral shake in the medial or lateral direction of the forefoot when running or walking are well known in the art.
  • a stabilizer restrains the foot while suppressing the lateral shake. Therefore, it may deteriorate the wearability.
  • JP60-135003A discloses a counter having a U-letter shape covering the side surface and the back surface of the rearfoot portion of the midsole.
  • the counter will suppress the lateral shake of the rearfoot.
  • the counter covering the side surface and the back surface of the rearfoot portion of the midsole will inhibit deformation of the midsole. Thus, it lowers the cushioning property of the rearfoot portion, and the wearer will be likely to feel a great impact on the first strike upon landing when running or walking.
  • JP07-8304A discloses a raised portion of a hard reinforcement member of a non-foamed material. This raised portion will inhibit the lateral shake of the forefoot. However, the raised portion of the hard reinforcement member of a non-foamed material will significantly inhibit the flexion and deformation of the forefoot portion of the midsole. Therefore, the wearer may be likely to feel the resistance against flexion while running or walking.
  • WO2013/168256A1 discloses a shoe sole including an outsole and a midsole, wherein: the midsole 1 includes a lower midsole formed by a resin foam, and an upper midsole formed by a resin foam and arranged on the lower midsole; a lateral roll-up portion for supporting a lateral side of a foot is formed integrally with the lower midsole; a lateral portion of the lower midsole including the lateral roll-up portion is of a first hardness; a medial portion of the lower midsole is of a second hardness lower than the first hardness; a lateral portion of the upper midsole is of a third hardness, lower than the first hardness; and at least part of the lateral roll-up portion protrudes in an upward direction past the upper midsole on a lateral side of the upper midsole so that the lateral side of the foot is supported by the lateral roll-up portion from the side of the foot without being supported by the upper midsole from the side of the foot.
  • a shoe in a first aspect, which does not form part of the present invention, includes an upper 7, and a stabilizer attached to at least a portion of the upper 7, wherein:
  • the skirt seamlessly integral with the counter body increases the stiffness of the counter.
  • the skirt is attached to the midsole to cover the side surface of the midsole, thereby suppressing the deformation of the midsole while further increasing the stiffness of the counter.
  • the rearfoot lateral shake suppressing function is improved significantly.
  • the exposed portion of the midsole back surface where the skirt is not attached can exert the intended cushioning property of the midsole. Therefore, the first strike impact occurring when the posterior end of the rearfoot lands while running or walking is absorbed by the posterior end of the midsole.
  • "extending downward from the counter body 60" means that the skirt is formed seamlessly integral with the counter body.
  • placed on the side surface SF or a back surface BF means that the posterior end is placed on side surfaces extending straight in the posterior direction, or on a back surface, or on corners between the medial and lateral side surfaces and the back surface.
  • the "back surface” means a central portion of the surface that can be seen from the back side that is about 1/3 the maximum width of the rearfoot portion of the midsole.
  • the skirt may extend to the central area of the back surface, for example. This is because the first strike impact is often greater on the outside than on the central area of the rearfoot.
  • a shoe having a stabilizer including an outsole 2 having a contact surface (tread surface) to be in contact with a road surface, and a midsole 1 placed on the outsole 2 and covering at least a portion of a forefoot section of a wearer;
  • the midsole 1 includes a main midsole 4 formed by a resin foam, and at least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L placed (arranged) on the main midsole 4 and formed by a resin foam; a hardness of the at least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L is larger than a hardness of the main midsole 4 ;
  • the at least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L includes a base 30 covering a bottom surface of a big toe B1 and/or a little toe B5 of the wearer on a medial side ME and/or a lateral side LA of a forefoot portion 5F, and two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 continuous with the base 30 and rolled up upward from the base 30 at positions which are
  • the sub-midsole harder than the main midsole 4 forms the two hard roll-up portion 31, 32 that are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction in the forefoot portion 5F.
  • the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 are less collapsible, and are capable of suppressing the lateral shake of the forefoot portion 5F over a wide area of the forefoot portion 5F that is divided in the front-rear direction.
  • the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 which are relatively hard, are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, and the side surfaces of the midsole 1 can easily bend between the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32.
  • the sub-midsole including two hard roll-up portions is formed from a foamed resin material, as opposed to a non-foamed hard resin material, and the base 30 and the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 are therefore adequately bendable. Thus, the resistance against bending while running or walking is unlikely to be felt.
  • the texture of the foamed material gets fatigued after the flexible midsole 1 is bent repeatedly, and the stiffness weakens over time in the forefoot portion, resulting in deterioration.
  • a hard sub-midsole will suppress the stiffness deterioration.
  • the hardness difference between the main midsole and the sub-midsole in terms of C hardness is preferably about 3 degrees to about 25 degrees, and more preferably about 4 degrees to about 20 degrees.
  • the advantageous effects are difficult to realize when the hardness difference is small.
  • the hardness difference is excessive, it is likely to be out of the practical range of hardness.
  • the hardness of the sub-midsole is set to about 59 degrees to 72 about degrees in terms of JIS C hardness, and more preferably about 61 degrees to about 69 degrees, for example.
  • the hardness of the main midsole is set to about 47 degrees to about 62 degrees in terms of JIS C hardness, and preferably about 49 degrees to about 57 degrees, for example.
  • the C hardness means the value measured with a durometer of the JIS K 7312 C type.
  • the at least one skirt 6M, 6L includes a wide portion 6W attached to the side surface SF of the rearfoot portion 5R of the midsole 1 on the medial side ME and/or the lateral side LA, and a first small width portion 61 on the side surface SF and/or the back surface BF of the midsole 1, the first small width portion 61 being continuous with the wide portion 6W and having a width H in a height direction, smaller than that (a width in the height direction) of the wide portion 6W, over which the midsole 1 is covered.
  • the width H in the height direction of the first small width portion 61 of the skirt is smaller than the width H in the height direction of the wide portion 6W.
  • the first small width portion 61 having a small width H will realize the lateral shake suppressing function of the rearfoot and cushioning property of the posterior end of the rearfoot.
  • a lower-edge line 61L of the first small width portion 61 of the at least one skirt 6M, 6L extends in an obliquely posterior D2 and upward direction and on the side surface SF of the rearfoot portion 5R of the midsole 1 on the medial side ME and/or the lateral side LA and/or the back surface BF of the midsole 1.
  • the first small width portion 61 is smoothly continuous with both the wide portion 6W and the counter body 60, and will serve to increase the stiffness of the wide portion 6W. This will improve the lateral shake suppressing function.
  • the at least one skirt 6M, 6L further includes a second small width portion 62 in an area extending in an anterior direction D1 from the wide portion 6W, the second small width portion 62 being continuous with the wide portion 6W and having a width H in the height direction, smaller than that (a width in the height direction) of the wide portion 6W, over which the midsole 1 is covered.
  • the width H in the height direction of the second small width portion 62 of the skirt is smaller than the width H in the height direction of the wide portion 6W.
  • the second small width portion 62 having a small width H will realize the lateral shake suppressing function and the cushioning property in an area anterior to the wide portion 6W.
  • a lower-edge line 62L of the second small width portion 62 of the at least one skirt 6M, 6L extends toward an obliquely anterior D1 and upward direction on the side surface SF of the medial side ME and/or the lateral side LA.
  • the second small width portion 62 is smoothly continuous with both the wide portion 6W and the counter body 60, and will serve to increase the stiffness of the wide portion 6W. This will improve the lateral shake suppressing function.
  • the counter 6 further includes a flange 6F that is continuous with the counter body 60 and that projects from the counter body 60 toward a central area CE of the rearfoot portion 5R.
  • the flange 6F thus projecting toward the central area CE of the rearfoot portion 5R serves to support the sole of the foot.
  • the central area CE as used herein is a broader concept than "center”, and refers to a region that is between the medial side and the lateral side and between the posterior end of the middle foot portion and the posterior end of the rearfoot portion.
  • the forefoot portion, the middle foot portion and the rearfoot portion refer to areas that cover the forefoot, the middle foot and the rearfoot, respectively, of the foot.
  • the forefoot includes five metatarsal bones and fourteen phalanges.
  • the middle foot includes a navicular bone, a cuboid bone and three cuneiform bones.
  • the rearfoot is an area that is posterior to the middle foot.
  • the flange 6F is formed in a U-letter shape as seen from above (seen in a planar view).
  • the U-shaped flange 6F suppresses the deformation such that the two anterior ends of the counter 6 expand away from each other, thereby significantly increasing the stiffness of the counter 6. This significantly improves the lateral shake preventing function of the rearfoot.
  • the U-shaped flange 6F does not support the central area CE of the rearfoot, and will therefore not lower the cushioning property of the rearfoot portion.
  • a step portion 11, into which the flange 6F fits, is formed on an upper surface 1U of the midsole 1.
  • the flange 6F of the counter 6 fits into the step portion so that the flange 6F is smoothly continuous with the upper surface of the sole 1. Therefore, the flange 6F will not cause an awkward feel on the sole of the foot.
  • the counter body 60 covers a rearfoot portion 5R of the upper extending from a medial side surface to a lateral side surface of the rearfoot portion of the upper through a back surface BF of the rearfoot portion of the upper, and is formed in a U-letter shape as seen from above (seen in a planar shape).
  • Such a U-shaped counter body 60 supports the rearfoot with the upper interposed therebetween, and therefore suppresses the lateral shake of the rearfoot.
  • the skirt 6M, 6L may be provided at least on the medial side ME, of the medial side ME and the lateral side LA.
  • Such a skirt 6M on the medial side ME suppresses the compressive deformation of the midsole on the medial side of the rearfoot portion, thereby contributing to suppressing the overpronation.
  • skirt being provided at least on the medial side ME means that the skirt may cover a portion of the lateral side surface or the back surface.
  • the skirt may be provided only on the medial side, of the medial side and the lateral side. In this case, the skirt may be present on the back surface but is absent on the lateral side.
  • the skirt may be provided at least on the lateral side LA, of the medial side ME and the lateral side LA.
  • Such a skirt 6L on the lateral side LA suppresses the compressive deformation of the midsole on the lateral side of the rearfoot portion, thereby contributing to suppressing the oversupination.
  • skirt being provided at least on the lateral side LA means that the skirt may cover a portion of the medial side surface or the back surface.
  • the skirt may be provided only on the lateral side, of the medial side and the lateral side. In this case, the skirt may be present on the back surface but is absent on the medial side.
  • the skirt may be provided both on the medial side ME and on the lateral side LA.
  • Such medial and lateral the skirts 6M, 6L will serve to suppress both oversupination and overpronation.
  • the skirt may cover a portion of the back surface.
  • the area of the skirt on the medial side may be greater than that of the skirt on the lateral side.
  • the area of the skirt on the lateral side may be greater than that of the skirt on the medial side.
  • the two skirts may have about the same size.
  • the main midsole 4 defines a mating recess (concave) 43 into which the base 30 of the at least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L fits.
  • the sub-midsole and the hard roll-up portions 31, 32 are accurately positioned with respect to the main midsole 4.
  • the main midsole 4 further includes a soft roll-up portion 42 placed (arranged) between the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32, continuous with a base 40 of the main midsole 4, and rolled up from the base 40.
  • the soft roll-up portion 42 is placed between the hard roll-up portions 31, 32, which are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, thereby reinforcing the area between the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 where the lateral shake suppressing function is weak.
  • the lateral shake suppressing function is further enhanced.
  • the soft roll-up portion 42 of the main midsole 4 has a lower hardness than the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32. This will suppress the drawback that the midsole becomes less bendable, and the resistance against bending is unlikely to be felt.
  • the main midsole 4 includes a projecting (convex) portion 41 surrounded by the mating recess 43 and the soft roll-up portion 42 and continuous with the soft roll-up portion 42.
  • the main midsole 4 is placed under the base 30 of the sub-midsole, and therefore the portion thereof corresponding to the base 30 of the sub-midsole has a small thickness.
  • the soft roll-up portion 42 may become more collapsible, failing to realize a sufficient lateral shake preventing function.
  • the projecting portion 41 continuous with the soft roll-up portion 42 suppresses the collapse of the soft roll-up portion 42, and therefore a high lateral shake preventing function can be expected.
  • At least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L defines a notch 33 where the at least one sub-midsole 3M, 3L is recessed (necked, constricted, or narrowed) at the projecting portion 41.
  • Such a notch 33 of the sub-midsole serves to help the midsole bend at the intended position.
  • a sub-midsole 3L is provided at least on the lateral side LA, and the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 are provided on the sub-midsole 3L of the lateral side LA.
  • the lateral shake of the forefoot which is typically likely to occur on the lateral side of the foot, can be suppressed.
  • sub-midsole 3M having the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 may be provided at least on the medial side ME.
  • an anterior end 31E of the anterior hard roll-up portion 31, of the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 is placed anterior D1 to a ball O5 of the little toe (a little toe ball), and a posterior end 32E of the posterior hard roll-up portion 32, of the two hard roll-up portions, is placed posterior D2 to the ball O5 of the little toe.
  • the bending on the lateral side of the foot is typically significant in the vicinity of the ball O5 of the little toe, and therefore the midsole 1 bends significantly also in the vicinity of the ball O5 of the little toe.
  • the aforementioned placement of the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 on the lateral side LA will promote appropriate bending on the lateral side of the foot.
  • the at least one the sub-midsole 3M, 3L includes a pair of sub-midsoles 3M, 3L, with one of the pair arranged on the medial side ME and the other of the pair arranged on the lateral side LA; and the pair of sub-midsoles 3M, 3L are both provided with the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32.
  • the lateral shake preventing function, etc. are improved on the medial side and on the lateral side of the forefoot.
  • the anterior end 31E of the anterior hard roll-up portion 31, of the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 on the medial side is placed (arranged) anterior D1 to a ball O1 of the big toe
  • the posterior end 32E of the posterior D2 hard roll-up portion 32, of the two hard roll-up portions on the medial side is placed posterior D2 to the ball O1 of the big toe

  • the posterior end 32E of the posterior hard roll-up portion 32, of the two hard roll-up portions on the lateral side is placed (arranged) posterior D2 to the ball O5 of the little toe.
  • the bending on the medial side and the lateral side of the foot is typically significant in the vicinity of the ball O1 of the big toe and the ball O5 of the little toe, and therefore the midsole 1 bends significantly also in the vicinity of the ball O1 of the big toe and the ball O5 of the little toe.
  • the aforementioned placement of the two hard roll-up portions 31, 32 on the medial side ME and on the lateral side LA will promote appropriate bending on the medial side and the lateral side of the foot.
