Definitions

  • the present invention relates to footwear which promotes a natural motion of the foot by simulating a barefoot experience, and which more specifically relates to anatomically shaped footwear having flexible materials located at anatomically correct flexure locations.
  • a shoe is designed to enable unhindered natural foot motion between the foot and the ground.
  • the shoe is constructed with a cupped heel, a contoured arch, a radiused forepart and neutral heel/forefoot position to create a foot bed that anatomically cradles a wearer's foot.
  • a soft, flexible strobel stitched insole is added, which utilizes encapsulated high resiliency foam.
  • the outsole is sculpted to have rounded natural edges and an anatomically correct flex location toward the forefoot of the shoe where softer, more flexible materials are used.
  • the outsole is further designed with harder, protective materials strategically placed in high ground-contact areas to deliver protection and support.
  • An optional midfoot support element may be positioned between the insole and outsole to control torsional stiffness.
  • Upper materials are selected to minimize restriction of movement and promote breathability.
  • the insole may be constructed of a high resiliency foam, such as neoprene, polyurethane, SEBS, EBA or rubber. Preferably, these materials would have a hardness of between about IOC and 60C on an Asker C scale.
  • the outsole is preferably constructed from rubber or polyurethane, in either single or dual compound areas.
  • a dual compound outsole may have high-traction compound at high ground-contact locations, and a wear-resistant compound toward the perimeter of the outsole.
  • the hardness of either or both of these compounds would be in the range of about 45 A to 75 A on a Shore A scale.
  • the sock liner is preferably comprised of a base foam, including EVA, polyurethane or blended co-polymers. Sock liner hardness would preferably be in the range of about 25C to 70C on an Asker C scale.
  • An insert may be made of foam or gel, including: thermoplastic rubber, polyurethane or SEBS, with a hardness of between about 25C and 60C on an Asker C scale.
  • the midfoot support element is preferably made from molded plastic, rigid EVA, or Texon/tuck board, with a thickness of between about 1mm and 3mm, and with a hardness of between about 5 OA and 90A on a Shore A scale
  • Such a construction allows for: (a) increased contact between the foot and shoe interior; (b) a flexibility improvement such that less foot force is required to bend the shoe; (c) an improved gait by enabling natural motion during walking; (c) promoting more midfoot versus heel strike; (d) reduced weight over conventional shoes; (e) and increased foot stimulation through more utilization of bones, tendons, and muscles during footstrike.
  • FIG. 1 is a three dimensional perspective view of a last, sock liner, strobel sock insole and outsole of the present invention.
  • a shoe will include a last or "upper" 5, sock liner 10, strobel sock insole 18 and outsole 20.
  • Outsole 20 is positioned on the underside of the shoe for engagement with a walking surface such as the ground, sidewalk, floor or other supporting surface.
  • the top surface of the outsole is shaped to conform to the bottom surface of the sock liner 10 and/or strobel sock insole 18.
  • the sock liner 10, strobel sock insole 18 and outsole 20 may be secured to one another using any suitable attachment means including cement, adhesives, glue, welt and direct attachment constructions
  • the foot of a human may be considered to have three regions: the forefoot region (area adjacent the toes), the midfoot region (area adjacent the arch), and the hind foot region (area adjacent the heel).
  • the sock liner 10 and outsole 20 similarly includes three regions substantially underlying the above-referenced corresponding three regions of the wearer's foot: the forefoot region 16, 26 of the sock liner 10 and outsole 20, respectively; the midfoot region 14, 24 of the sock liner 10 and outsole 20, respectively; and the hind foot region 12, 22 of the sock liner 10 and outsole 20, respectively.
  • the ball of the foot is generally the area of the foot at the juncture between the metatarsal bones and the phalange bones.
  • the sockliner 10 may include soft pad sections on the bottom thereof at the forefoot region 16, midfoot region 14 and/or hind foot region 12.
  • the midfoot region 14, 24 of the sock liner 10 and outsole 20 is preferably raised to underlie the medial arch of the wearer's foot, while the hind foot region 12, 22 is cupped to underlie the heel of the wearer's foot.
  • the hind foot region 12, 22 is defined by the peripheral edges 13, 23 formed around the hind foot region 12, 22 from the medial side to the lateral side of the heel.
  • the peripheral edge 13, 23 in the hind foot region 12, 22 forms a raised portion where it wraps around the heel of the wearer's foot.
  • the forefoot region 16, 26 includes a radiused forepart and a neutral heel/forefoot position.
  • the anatomically shaped and formed sock liner 10 and outsole 20 are thereby designed to reflect the natural shapes of the human foot.
  • the shaped plantar surface topography maximizes surface contact with the wearer's foot and increases comfort.
  • the midfoot region 24 of outsole 20 may include a support shank 28 having a stiffness which is higher than the rest of outsole 20 so as to properly provide arch support to the wearer. Support shank 24 may instead be positioned between outsole 20 and strobel sock insole 18.
  • the shoe is constructed to enable unhindered natural foot motion between the foot and the ground.
  • a soft, flexible strobel stitched insole (or strobel sock insole) 18 is added, which utilizes encapsulated high resiliency foam.
  • the strobe stitched insole 18 preferably includes a foam interior sandwiched between fabric layers on the top and bottom.
  • the outsole 20 is sculpted to have rounded natural edges and an anatomically correct flex location toward the forefoot 26 of the shoe where softer, more flexible materials are used.
  • the outsole 20 is further designed with harder, protective materials strategically placed in high ground- contact areas to deliver protection and support.
  • An optional midfoot support element 28 may be positioned between the insole and outsole to control torsional stiffness toward the midfoot region 14, 24.
  • Upper materials are selected to minimize restriction of movement and promote breathability.
  • Such a construction allows for: (a) increased contact between the foot and shoe interior; (b) a flexibility improvement such that less foot force is required to bend the shoe; (c) an improved gait by enabling natural motion during walking; (c) promoting more midfoot versus heel strike; (d) reduced weight over conventional shoes; (e) and increased foot stimulation through more utilization of bones, tendons, and muscles during footstrike.
  • the overall dimensions of the present shoe as well as the specific shape and configuration of the various sections thereof are also subject to wide variations and may be sized and shaped into a wide variety of different sizes and configurations so as to be compatible with the size and shape of the particular footwear onto which the present structures may be mounted, or to conform with any space limitations associated therewith without impairing the teachings and practice of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une chaussure, qui est configurée de façon à permettre un mouvement du pied naturel non gêné entre le pied et le sol. La chaussure est construite avec un talon en coupe, une voûte profilée, un avant arrondi et une position de talon/avant-pied neutre pour créer une semelle qui accueille de façon anatomique le pied d'un utilisateur. Une première à couture de Strobel souple et douce est ajoutée, laquelle utilise une mousse de haute élasticité encapsulée. La semelle d'usure est sculptée de façon à avoir des bords naturels arrondis et un emplacement d'infléchissement anatomiquement correct vers l'avant-pied de la chaussure, où des matériaux plus mous et plus souples sont utilisés. La semelle d'usure est de plus conçue avec des matériaux protecteurs plus durs disposés de façon stratégique dans des zones de contact élevé avec le sol pour produire une protection et un support. Un élément de support du centre du pied facultatif peut être positionné entre la première et la semelle d'usure de façon à contrôler la rigidité de torsion. Les matériaux de la tige sont sélectionnés de façon à réduire au minimum la restriction du mouvement et à favoriser l'aptitude à la respiration.
