The contacts associated with the latter are actuated in the closed position. The cover 29 is then closed, and actuates in the closed position the contact associated with it. A pulse on a contactor initiates a heating cycle of a determined duration, ensuring the softening of the first layer 5 of thermoplastic material, but not of the second layer 6 which is located in the rear zone of stabilization and maintenance of the foot.
- the positioning of the lamps and the inclination of the supports 21, 22 of the plate 19 ensure a homogeneous heating in the areas whose shape must be adapted, which is in particular the arch area.
- the soles are removed from the device and are positioned either in the shoes of the user or on a molding support before conformation by the user of the two soles to the shape of his feet, by support of the feet on soles that are in a partially malleable state. After cooling, the soles retain the shape that has been given to them. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to only the embodiments of this sole shoe and the device for shaping the sole, described above as an example, but it embraces the otherwise all variants.
