Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an off-road slip according to claim 1.

The human foot has evolved to move in uneven terrain with evolution.

Throughout its history - and much of the world still - man has walked barefoot. Moving barefoot from childhood shapes the sole of the foot to become durable, and the muscles balanced and strong, providing the foundation for a healthy and healthy body.

In the northern air, simple leather socks or moccasins have been used to protect the feet, allowing natural movement of the foot when walking on uneven terrain. The use of hard shoes is historically a very late phenomenon. It has only recently become possible for a large part of humanity to travel on smooth streets and roads; * · *; decades. The general decrease in physical activity and increased leisure time, in turn, have created a need and demand for various forms of exercise, [| *: Like jogging and Nordic walking. However, even these forms of exercise are carried out on the feet of the shoes, moving on a flat and hard surface, which does not correspond to the natural functional structure of the human foot i :.

• »•« «· *

Although walking barefoot in the terrain is the most biologically characteristic of humans a a:.:: Move, this is not possible for an urbanized modern man because the skin of our soles ·· »is not sufficiently strengthened to withstand direct ground contact: T: wear and damage caused by unevenness and edges. The footwear industry: has developed over the past few decades more sophisticated jogging, running and hiking shoes for leisure and hiking.

The design has been based on the production of footwear designed to protect the foot and reduce the load on it. However, for the natural function of the foot, the direct stress on the sole of the foot in uneven terrain is essential. However, there are no footwear on the market that provide adequate protection for the foot while allowing for natural movement of the foot.

The purpose of our invention is to provide adequate protection of the foot and at the same time to allow the natural movement of the foot while moving on uneven terrain. The solution we have developed is based on a slip-on shoe (hereafter referred to as "Off-Road Slipper"), which has a slim, all-round sole that allows the foot to move naturally and underfoot, while protecting the foot from cuts, injuries and moisture.

The off-road shoe allows you to travel on any type of surface, but especially on unpaved organic terrain, such as forest trails, mosses, groves, rocks, wetlands, etc., where people have had to move without modern shoes throughout their history.

: T: The invention consists of a layered solution in which high-strength fibrous materials are made to be cut, puncture and moisture resistant, but at the same time elastic and allow the sole of the foot to move naturally (cf.

cut gloves, safety vests, etc.). Off-Road Shoes a ·; the inventiveness of other leisure footwear is that it offers at least a * * · protection equivalent to a normal running shoe, but a much more natural function of the foot when moving on different surfaces.

Special section

The invention consists of a layered footwear sole, wherein the outer layer (1) is a wear and moisture resistant flexible material which allows the sole of the foot to naturally adjust to the unevenness of the sole.

The inner part of the sole structure (2) consists of a flexible composite material which provides incision and puncture protection while allowing the sole of the foot to naturally adjust to the unevenness of the base.

The sole structure is lifted to the sides of the foot and secured to the breathable and elastic footwear material (3). The base structure can be raised over the ankle in different versions to protect the lower leg.

Claims (4)

117157 An off-road shoe comprising a bottom part (1,2) which is flexible in all directions and allows a natural movement of the foot relative to the base and a foot protection part (3) upwards from the bottom part, wherein said upward part is substantially adapted to the shape of the foot , characterized in that the base member comprises at least two layers of material (1,2), wherein one layer (2) comprises a structure providing incision and puncture protection and one layer (2) provides waterproofing to the base member, e.g. 1) abrasion resistance against the abrasion effect of the surface. Off-road boot according to Claim 1, characterized in that the sole (1,2) and the upper (3) are of the same material. Off-road boot according to Claim 1, characterized in that the bottom part (1,2) is of a different construction with respect to the upper part (3) and the edges of the bottom part (1,2) are turned up to form a seam between said parts.
