Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe insole.
  • the insole of the present invention is molded and provides improved support and comfort to a user, especially for mid- to high-heel shoes.
  • Shoes are worn to not only protect the feet, but for decorative purposes. Comfort is and has always been an important feature for shoes. Support for the feet is also an important feature. Shoes that are very comfortable may not provide enough support to the feet. Similarly, shoes that are very supportive of the feet may not provide enough comfort. It is a fine balance between comfort and support, especially for mid- to high-heel shoes.
  • Prior art insole is typically planar with uniform thickness.
  • Prior art insoles that provide a uniform thickness of a soft material such as memory foam may provide comfort, but not enough support.
  • Prior art shoes also rely on other parts of the shoes to provide additional support or comfort; e.g. softer or stiffer outsole, thinner or thicker insole or outsole. None of the prior art that the inventor is aware of provides a molded construction of the insole for added support and comfort to a user, especially in mid- to high-heel shoes. Therefore, there is a need for an improved insole that is molded and provides additional comfort and support to a user.
  • the present invention provides a molded insole that improves comfort and support to a user, especially for mid- to high-heel shoes.
  • the insole of the present invention is molded and includes a front portion, a middle shank portion and a rear heel portion.
  • the front portion is flexible, molded with grooves to allow additional flexibility and molded with a cavity to receive a cushioning material to provide additional comfort.
  • the middle shank and rear heel portions are stiffer to provide additional support.
  • the middle shank and rear heel portions have a molded concave structure to accommodate and comfortably receive a user's foot.
  • Figure 1 shows the side view of the insole of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the insole of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 shows a bottom view of the front portion of the insole of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the heel portion of the insole of the present invention.
  • Figure 5 shows a side and partially cross-sectional view of a high-heel shoe without the upper that incorporates the insole of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 through 4 the molded insole 10.
  • the insole 10 has a front portion 20, a middle shank portion 30 and a rear heel portion 40, with an upper surface 50, and a lower surface 60.
  • the front portion 20 is made of a flexible material, such as flexible felt or soft laminated felt. As shown in Figure 3, on the lower surface 60 of the front portion 20, in a central location, is a shallow molded cavity 22 with a plurality of molded groves 24 that extend from the shallow cavity 22 to the left and right sides of the insole 10 to aid in flexibility.
  • the shallow cavity 22 and grooves 24 are filled with a cushioning material such as cork or memory foam or gel or other materials known to one skilled in the art to provide additional comfort.
  • the shallow cavity 22 is advantageously positioned where the balls of a user's foot would rest / strike.
  • the middle shank portion 30 and the rear heel portion 40 are made of a stiffer material, such as a hard laminated felt that allows minimal flexibility.
  • the shank portion 30 and the heel portion 40 have a concave structure throughout to provide support to the user.
  • a molded indentation 42 At the heel portion 40 that connects to a heel 46 (see Figure 5), there is a molded indentation 42.
  • the indentation 42 is filled with a cushioning material such as cork or memory foam or gel or other materials known to one skilled in the art to provide additional comfort.
  • the indentation 42 is advantageously positioned where a user's heel bone would rest / strike.
  • One or more openings 43 within the indentation 42 are provided to receive a plurality of fastening elements (not shown) for attaching the insole 20 to the heel 46 (see Figure 5).
  • Figures 5 and 6 show a high-heel shoe 12 incorporating the insole 10 of the present invention.
  • the shoe 12 includes the following layers: outsole 11, insole 10, footbed 70, and upper 75.
  • Outsole 11 is the layer that is in contact with the elements on the ground and is typically made of leather or rubber to provide support to the user.
  • leather outsole 11 it may include a rubber insert 13 to further improve comfort to a user and to improve traction of the shoe 12.
  • Footbed 70 is then placed over the insole 10.
  • Footbed 70 is preferably molded with the following layers from the bottom going up: a polyurethane (PU) layer 76, a memory foam layer 74 and a lining 72.
  • the polyurethane layer 76 is molded to conform to the concave structure of the insole 10 and to provide the arch support at the shank portion 30 to a user.
  • the lining 72 covers the memory foam layer 74 and is the layer in contact with the user's foot.
  • a shoe 12 incorporating the insole 10 of the present invention provides support at the shank portion 30 and heel portion 40, while providing comfort at the front portion 20 and where the user's heel bone rests.
  • the insole 10 of the present invention is advantageously molded to provide the structure described above. While the insole 10 of the present invention is shown incorporated into a high-heel shoe, it is anticipated and foreseeable that the insole 10 of the present invention can be used advantageously with a mid-heel shoe or other types of shoes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une semelle intérieure améliorée qui est moulée et fournit davantage de soutien et de confort à un utilisateur. La semelle intérieure comprend une partie avant, une partie tige intermédiaire et une partie talon arrière. La partie avant est flexible, moulée avec des rainures afin d'augmenter la flexibilité et moulée avec une cavité peu profonde pour recevoir un matériau de rembourrage destiné à augmenter le confort. Les parties tige intermédiaire et talon arrière sont plus rigides que la partie avant pour fournir un meilleur soutien. Les parties tige intermédiaire et talon arrière sont moulées avec une structure concave afin de loger et de recevoir de manière confortable le pied d'un utilisateur.
