Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shoe, particularly, to a shoe which has an ergonomic insole unit incorporated therein.
  • Lasts used for lasting uppers and insoles are generally provided with flat bottom faces to accommodate a wiper blade of a heel lasting machine.
  • An example of the last with a flat bottom face 1 A is shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B.
  • an upper is disposed around a last and the bottom margin thereof is folded over an insole which is mounted on the flat bottom face of the last, via the wiper blade that wipes over the flattened surface of the insole.
  • the wiper blade cannot work if the insole and/or the bottom face of the last are not flat because the wiper blade moves only along a planar surface.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B show another last 2 which has a heel part with a rounded or convex bottom face 2 A conforming to the bottom of the heel of the wearer's foot.
  • Such a last 2 is used in forming an ergonomic insole, midsole or outsole, which has a heel part with a top face concaved downwardly, and in manufacturing a sandals 3 incorporating an ergonomic sole 31 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the rounded bottom face 2 A of the last 2 does not provide a planar surface to support and flatten an insole pad, the prior art never suggests that the last 2 be used in a heel lasting process to last an upper with an ergonomic insole.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,342 discloses a removable insole assembly which includes an ergonomic foamed pad incorporating a reinforcing a rigid cap.
  • the foamed pad has a downward concave area which is thinner than the lateral parts thereof. This thin concave area does not have enough thickness to sufficiently cushion the wearer's heel beneath the calcaneus because the thickness of the removable foamed pad is limited by the height of the interior space of the shoe measured from the top of an insole connected directly to the bottom margin of an upper via a lasting process.
  • this height is determined by a last used to manufacture the shoe, if the thickness of the concave area of the foamed pad is to increase, it is necessary to increase the height of the last.
  • a particularly designed last with a dimension required to provide the desired height of the interior space of the shoe is needed. The need to produce a particular last would increase the cost of manufacturing shoes incorporating such removable insole assemblies.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a shoe with an ergonomic insole unit which has a downward concave area with sufficient thickness to comfort and support the wearer's heel and which can still be manufactured by using a common last.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoe with an ergonomic insole unit that is lasted with a bottom margin of an upper by using a last having a rounded or convex bottom heel part.
  • a shoe according to the present invention is characterized by an ergonomic insole unit and an upper having a bottom margin attached directly to the insole unit via a lasting process, the insole unit including a heel part which includes a base, a rear upward flange projecting upward from a periphery of the base and making a U-shaped turn around the base, the upward flange forming a corner with the base along the U-shaped turn, the bottom margin of the upper being folded over the corner, the base having a bottom face and a top face opposite to the bottom face, the top face having a downward concave area, the bottom face being coplanar at least in a peripheral region which extends along full length of the corner.

  • FIG. 17 is a perspective view of a modified form of the heel part of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 18 is a perspective view of a modified form of the heel part of FIG. 11A;
  • FIG. 19 is an elevation view of another shoe embodying the present invention.
  • FIG. 20 is a perspective view of a shank part usable in the present invention.
  • FIG. 21 is a perspective view showing a heel part which is smaller in size than a heel section of an insole element according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 22 is a perspective view of a one-piece sole-shaped member which is flat in a peripheral region and has a downwardly projecting protrusion;
  • FIG. 23 is another perspective view of the one-piece sole-shaped member of FIG. 22.
  • FIG. 24 is a sectional view taken along line 24 - 24 of FIG. 23.
  • a first embodiment of a shoe 10 comprises an upper 20 connected to an ergonomic insole unit which includes an insole element 21 and a heel part 30 connected to the insole element 21 via connection means, such as adhesive bonding, sewing or mechanical fasteners, etc.
  • the upper 20 has a bottom margin 201 provided around the insole element 21 and the heel part 30 .
  • the bottom margin 201 is attached to the insole element 21 and the heel part 30 via a lasting process.
  • the heel part 30 may be fabricated via a molding process from a rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible plastic material.
  • the plastic materials usable for the heel part 30 include PVC, PU, EVA, EPE, etc.
  • the heel part 30 includes a base 301 , and a rear upward flange 302 extending upward from the base 301 and making a substantially U-shaped turn around the base 301 .
  • the base 301 has a planar bottom face 304 which forms a corner 305 with the upward flange 302 .
  • the heel part 30 further has a top face opposite to the planar bottom face 304 , which has a downward concave area 307 .
  • the insole element 21 has a toe section 211 , a shank section 212 , and a heel section 213 , like the conventional insole.
  • the insole element 21 is made of a flexible material such as PU, PVC, EVA, a woven or non-woven fabric, or the like.
  • the insole element 21 has a substantially uniform thickness, and the heel section 213 of the insole element 21 is placed above the base 301 of the heel part 30 .
  • the insole element 21 and the heel part 30 are mounted on a bottom side of a last 40 , as shown in FIG. 9, to undergo a lasting operation in a conventional manner.
  • the upper 20 is also mounted on the last 40 , and a portion of the bottom margin 201 is folded over and attached to the planar bottom face 304 of the heel part 30 .
  • the remaining portion of the bottom margin 201 of the upper 20 is folded over and attached to the bottom face of the insole element 21 .
  • the upper 20 , the insole element 21 and the heel part 30 are assembled with an outsole 50 via a conventional soling process, such as a direct injection process to form the outsole 50 , a cementing process to cement the outsole 50 , or a goodyear welt process to attach a goodyear welt and the outsole 50 .
  • the last 40 has a rounded or concave bottom profile, like the last 2 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, it is feasible to use the last 40 to fabricate the shoe 10 by using a conventional heel lasting machine since the heel part 30 has the planar bottom face 304 . Since the insole unit, comprised of the heel part 30 and the insole element 21 , is attached directly to the bottom margin 201 of the upper 20 during the lasting operation, the insole unit is at the outside of the volume of the last 40 . Thus, the thickness of the insole unit or the heel part 30 is not limited by the height or volume of the interior space of the upper 20 which is determined by the volume of the last 40 . As a result, the heel part 30 can be provided with a sufficient thickness at the downward concave area 307 so as to effectively cushion the bottom face of the wearer's heel beneath the calcaneus.
  • the heel part 30 maybe placed above and connected integrally with the insole element 21 .
  • the heel part 30 together with the insole element 21 is mounted on the last 40 shown in FIG. 9 and is connected to the bottom margin 201 of the upper 20 .
  • the ergonomic insole unit according to the present invention may be configured to include a heel part 30 A as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B.
  • the heel part 30 A has a base 301 A and an upward flange 302 A which are substantially the same as the base 301 and the flange 302 of the heel part 30 except that the base 301 A is provided with an opening 309 A in the downward concave area 307 A thereof.
  • the ergonomic insole unit is configured as a single piece member 30 B including a heel part 301 B, a shank part 302 B and a toe part 303 B.
  • the heel part 301 B has substantially the same configuration as the heel part 30 .
  • the shank part 302 B and the toe part 303 B may be designed such that they are more flexible and have a lower hardness than that of the heel part 301 B.
  • the single-piece member 30 B may be constructed in such a manner that they have different levels of hardness at the heel, shank and toe parts 301 B, 302 B and 303 B. When the single piece member 30 B is used, the upper 20 may be lasted with or without the insole element 21 .
  • the ergonomic insole unit in the present invention may also include a separate toe part 31 , or a separate toe part 32 to be used together with the heel part 30 or 30 A.
