Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a breathable shoe having a waterproof and breathable sole. [Prior Art] As is known, the portion of the foot having the maximum perspiration effect is the sole of the foot. Therefore, 'the area where the shoe can accumulate the moisture caused by sweating at most is the interface between the sole of the foot and the sole of the shoe." At that place, the sweat produced saturates the air and mostly condenses, thereby accumulating On the sole insert. Only a small amount of moisture generated by sweating spreads to the side of the upper and leaves away from it on the side of the upper. This effect of sweat accumulation in the sole area is particularly pronounced in rubber sole shoes; in these situations, the complete impermeability of the sole of the shoe actually prevents vapor from penetrating through the sole of the shoe. As is known, the accumulation of sweat in the sole area causes discomfort to the user of the shoe' and also constitutes a priority for the growth of bacterial cultures known as sources of unpleasant odors. Therefore, it is generally felt that it is necessary to prevent moisture from sweating from accumulating in the sole area of the shoe. A first attempt to meet this need consists of the solution disclosed in EP 0382904. The teaching contained in this patent consists in dividing the rubber sole into two layers, the lower of the two layers having penetrating microperforations, and the semi-permeable membrane joined to the two layers at the periphery to be inserted thereto in order to avoid water Infiltrate and thus obtain a sole that is permeable to water and permeable to water vapor without 158663.doc 201216879. For the sake of simplicity, an element having a property of being impermeable to water in a liquid state and permeable to water vapor is referred to as waterproof and gas permeable in the τ text.半 0382904 teaches that the semi-permeable membrane used is (for example) in cyanide L·

These films are provided by a film made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e_PTFE) which has a thickness substantially varying from 19 microns to 7 microns and is water and gas permeable. Its microstructure is characterized by the presence of a dense region called a node interconnected by stretched filaments called fibrils. Such semi-permeable films originally envisioned for use in the military field have been developed and used in the field of clothing and footwear, read to avoid accumulation of sweat from the sweat of the garment and provide a shoe with an upper having an upper Waterproof and breathable lining. Since the market for clothing and footwear is always demanding soft and comfortable items, there is a strong need in the described applications to ensure that the film intended as a functional layer does not detract from such characteristics. This need has been expressed in real-world technology, which envisions the need to use a film that has a low thickness for lamination with a supporting and/or aesthetic finishing material, such as fabric or leather, such that it is flexible, foldable, Finished laminate elements that are soft, smooth, compressible and extensible, and have a low profile per unit surface weight. However, indeed, due to the low thickness of the film, films providing such films have poor mechanical strength properties of 158663.doc 201216879. In fact, it should be noted that the value of the strength of the laminate is mainly derived from the characteristics of the fabric layer or the support layer to which the film is attached. Specifically [a usable film made of a polymeric material to provide such a film as mentioned has a thickness of between approximately 19 microns and 70 microns, which thickness will have poor penetration resistance (ie, These membranes are administered below 5 N). The expression "penetration resistance" is defined by the measurement performed according to the method described in chapter 5.8.2-'Determi^ti〇n 〇f the penetration resistance of the sole of the safety footwear. characteristic. This poor mechanical penetration resistance has led the inventors of EP 03829〇4 to prevent the film from coming into contact with foreign objects by limiting the diameter of the hole of the sole facing the film. However, this solution has been shown to limit the area of the sole that is assigned to vapor permeation and, in addition, the holes can be blocked. While the teachings disclosed in the 'applicant's EP 858,270 disclose a solution to overcome such disadvantages, the solution does not completely overcome these disadvantages and is not perfect. "Hai patent discloses a shoe without a sole' which is made of a perforated elastomer and which comprises a midsole' midsole comprising a stack of lower protective layers which are preferably made of a treated water repellent Waterproof and breathable film. Since the protective layer is not made of the waterproof material (4), it is impossible to provide the direct bottom and the bottom of the bottom 8 but use a waterproof peripheral member that provides a sealed bridge between the waterproof and breathable film and the sole. 158663.doc 201216879.. As mentioned, the present invention has some aspects that can be perfected while allowing effective protection of the film from penetration by foreign objects. In particular, the 'protective element gradually loses its water-repellent properties and therefore tends to become water-saturated and/or becomes full of other types of sweat that are absorbed by the mud bite absorbed through the hole in the tread surface', thereby detrimental to the breathability of the sole Sexually and additionally produces an environment that facilitates the proliferation of microorganisms, such as molds and bacteria, which can cause the shoe to have an unpleasant odor. Another disadvantage is that during use, the cyclic flexing and traction experienced by the midsole during walking tends to result in progressive wear and tear of the film, thus causing the sole to lose its water repellency. Another solution is proposed in US Pat. No. 6,580,015 to Rauch Max, which discloses a sole structure having two superposed layers that are designed to be oriented toward the upper portion of the sole structure of the shoe to be elastic and permeable to water. Vapor. The lower layer covering less than 70% of the upper layer has the function of supporting the upper layer and provides a tread surface. The upper layer is made, for example, of a sintered plastic or a non-woven fabric so as to have a microporous structure, and the microporous structure is not waterproof under any circumstances. A disadvantage of this solution is that during the use of the shoe, the upper layer of the microporous exposed by the lower layer tends to become water saturated when it comes into contact with water, absorbs water, retains water, and partially releases water over time. The surface on which the user of the shoe is walking β In addition, the upper layer tends to degrade when in contact with the absorbed water. In order to understand the water repellency of the sole, this patent discloses that the upper layer is treated such that it is water repellent or covered by a waterproof and breathable film disposed thereon. I58663.doc 201216879 shows that hydrophobic treatment has a short life span, Resulting in the loss of the sole, and the application of the breathable and waterproof film on the upper layer is in fact cut into the structure of the structure already described, wherein the film is supported by one or more, thus again facing the same disadvantages and in terms of gas permeability quantification The limit.
