Abstract

SHOE SOLE CONSISTING OF A CENTRAL PART, A FRONT PART AND A REAR PART. THE CENTRAL PART HAS A GREATER THICKNESS THAN THE FRONT AND REAR PARTS TO ALLOW TILTING ACTION IN RELATION TO THE CENTRAL PART AND EXERCISE THE FOOT AND LEG OF THE USER OF THE SHOE.

Description

The invention relates to footwear, and more particularly to

  in particular, to a shoe sole which is shaped to provide a swaying effect of the foot and the

leg of his user.

  Today shoes are used with

  soles of various shapes and structures. While a few

  many of these shoes are attractive in appearance,

  they do not provide adequate support for the foot of the user.

  because of the shape and / or structure of their

  them, and this results in an incorrect support of the planetary

  or improper posture of the users of the shoes.

  res. Many shoe insoles used now and in the past are also expensive and difficult to manufacture,

  given their shapes and / or their complicated structures.

  That is why there was a need for a shoe sole with a simple structure that also provides support

  adequate foot of its user.

  The shoe sole of the present invention has a simple structure and provides adequate support for the user's foot. In addition, the shoe sole according to the invention serves to exercise the foot and the leg of its user thanks to its new conformation which allows a

  tilting action with respect to its central part.

  The new shoe sole according to the present invention

  The invention is preferably of a one-piece structure, and includes a central portion which has a greater thickness than the front and rear portions. The bottom surface of the shoe sole is curved from the central portion to the front and back portions, and a tilting effect occurs with respect to the central portion when the user is standing or walking. This tilting action is used to exercise the user's foot and leg during standing and walking. The thickened central portion of the shoe sole is located substantially below the user's arch to provide support and, in addition, a pivot point below the arch to cause the tilting action and encourage the movement of the user's foot and leg, to maintain a satisfactory balance

  when standing or walking with the shoe.

  Three embodiments of the invention will now be

  translated by way of example, in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe equipped with a sole according to the invention;

  - Figure 2 is a sectional view of the sole, sensi-

  following line 2-2 of Figure 1; - Figure 3 is a top view of the rear part of the sole of the shoe; - Figure 4 is a top view of the front portion of the shoe sole;

  FIG. 6 is a plan view of the lower surface;

  re of a second embodiment of sole shoe according to the invention;

  FIG. 7 is a sectional side view of a shoe

  equipped with a third embodiment of sole shoe according to the present invention; and

  FIG. 8 is a plan view of the lower surface;

  re of the third embodiment of a shoe sole

re according to the invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the shoe sole 10

  according to the present invention may be equipped with a

  12 of any structure likely to retain the

  foot F of the user on that.

  Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the shoe sole comprises an upper surface 14, generally flat, slightly curved to conform to the lower surface.

  foot F and provide adequate support to the arch.

  The central portion 16 of the shoe sole has a greater thickness than its front 18 and rear 20 parts, and

  these parts are connected by a lower surface 22 gen-

  curved. The lower surface 22 can be covered

  green of any anti-slip, anti-wear or

  analogous, of any suitable material, for example rubber

  Chouc. Due to the conformation of the soleplate 10 and the location of the central portion 16 enlarged by

3 2480576

  below the voce of the foot F, the sole provides a suitable support below the user's arch, and the central portion 16 thicker serves pivot point

  below the vault to allow a flip-flop action

  forward and backward to encourage the movement of

  foot and leg of the user to

  balance when standing or marching.

  che. This tipping action is used to make the exercise

  to the user's foot and leg when standing or walking on the sole, while adequately maintaining the arch support, due to the location of the pivot point substantially below

  from the arch of the user's foot.

  The invention also provides that the soleplate 10 is preferably

  It can be made of any suitable material, for example wood, plastic or a similar material. Upper surfaces

  side of the soleplate may be shaped and / or

  any institution. The shoe sole 10 according to the invention

  Thanks to its simple structure, it can be molded easily and economically, for example by means of a plastic material.

any suitable.

  In order to minimize the weight of the shoe sole, its bottom surface 22 may have recessed portions 26 and 28, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5. Alternatively, the bottom surface 22 may be generally

  plane, without recess, as shown in Figure 6.

  FIGS. 7 and 8 show a third embodiment of a shoe sole according to the invention in which a heel element 30 is fixed or shaped on the lower surface 22 of the sole, behind its part.

  16. The function of the heel element 30 is to limit

  the tilting action towards the back of the shoe, to provide a desired degree of stability. The bead element 30 may be of any suitable shape and of any material, depending on the value of the tilting action that is desired, and it may be attached to the lower surface 22 in a manner or manner. 'another. By way of example, the bead element 30 may have a wedge shape, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and it may be in one piece

  with the lower surface 22, or be fixed to it by gluing.

  It follows from the above description that the sole

  new shoe according to the invention is of a structure

  simple, inexpensive to manufacture, and that it provokes the exer-

  cice of the user's foot and leg, thanks to its tilting action with respect to its thickened central part

  which is put in place to ensure proper foot support.
