Abstract

An insole for a shoe can include a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, a rear end and an opposing front end. At least a section of the top surface proximate the rear end can be concave. At least a section of the bottom surface proximate the rear end can be convex. A plurality of spaced-apart holes can extend through the insole from the top surface to the bottom surface. The plurality of spaced-apart holes can be arranged in two rows. A first row of the two rows can be spaced radially inward with respect to a second row of the two rows. Each of the plurality of holes of the first row can have the same size. Each of the plurality of holes of the second row can have the same size.

Claims (27)

1. An insole for a shoe, the insole comprising: a body section having a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, a rear end and an opposing front end, the body section configured to support and be positioned beneath at least an arch and heel of a foot; and a forefoot section having a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, a rear end and an opposing front end, the rear end of the forefoot section being attached to the front end of the body section, the forefoot section configured to support and be positioned beneath at least the ball of the foot, wherein a plurality of spaced-apart holes extend through the body section from the top surface to the bottom surface, the plurality of spaced-apart holes being configured to provide flexibility to the insole.
2. The insole of claim 1, wherein a first one of the plurality of spaced-apart holes is larger than a second one of the plurality of spaced-apart holes.
3. The insole of any one of claims 1-2, wherein the plurality of spaced-apart holes are arranged in two rows, and wherein a remainder of the insole aside from the two rows does not include any holes.
4. The insole of any one of claims 1-3, wherein a first row of the two rows is spaced radially inwardly with respect to a second row of the two rows.
5. The insole of any one of claims 1-4, wherein each hole of the first row of the two rows has the same size, and wherein each hole of the second row of the two rows has the same size.
6. The insole of any one of claims 1-5, wherein each hole of the first row is smaller than each hole of the second row.
7. The insole of any one of claims 1-6, wherein each hole of the first row has a smaller diameter than each hole of the second row.
8. The insole of any one of claims 1-7, wherein each of the holes of both the first and second rows has a circular shape.
9. The insole of any one of claims 1-8, wherein the forefoot section does not include any holes extending from the top surface to the bottom surface thereof.
10. The insole of any one of claims 1-9, wherein a projection extends outwardly from the bottom surface of the body section, the projection extending in a serpentine path between several of the adjacent holes in the first row.
11. The insole of any one of claims 1-10, wherein at least a portion of the top surface of the body section proximate the rear end thereof is concave, wherein at least a portion of the bottom surface of the body section proximate the rear end thereof being convex.
12. The insole of any one of claims 1-11, wherein a line of demarcation separates the body section from the forefoot section, the line of demarcation extending across an entire width of the insole.
13. An insole for a shoe, the insole comprising: a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, a rear end and an opposing front end, a plurality of spaced-apart holes extending through the insole from the top surface to the bottom surface, the plurality of spaced-apart holes being arranged in two rows, a first row of the two rows being spaced radially inwardly with respect to a second row of the two rows, each hole of the first row having the same size, each hole of the second row having the same size, each hole of the first row being smaller than each hole of the second row.
14. The insole of claim 13, wherein each hole of the first row has a smaller diameter than each hole of the second row.
15. The insole of any one of claims 13-14, further comprising: a body section including the plurality of spaced-apart holes; and a forefoot section devoid of any holes extending from a top surface to a bottom surface thereof.
16. The insole of any one of claims 13-15, further comprising: a line of demarcation separating the body section from the forefoot section, the line of demarcation extending across an entire width of the insole.
