The invention relates to a diabetic safety shoe (10) comprising an outer shoe (12) and an inner shoe (14) that can be inserted into and removed from the outer shoe (12), wherein: - the outer shoe (12) has an outer shoe sole (24) comprising an outer shoe outsole (26) and an outer shoe insole (30), and further comprising an outer shoe upper (32); - the outer shoe (12) has an outer shoe toecap (66); and - the inner shoe (14) has an inner shoe upper (18) and an inner shoe insole (20); - the inner shoe upper (18) has a supporting toecap (22). The outer shoe sole (24) preferably comprises an outer shoe midsole (28). Furthermore, the inner shoe (14) and the outer shoe (12) preferably each comprise an inner shoe tongue (34) and an outer shoe tongue (36), respectively.The diabetic safety shoe (10) optionally includes an additional footbed (16) that can be inserted into and removed from the inner shoe (14). The invention further relates to a method for adapting a diabetic safety shoe (10) to the foot shape of a wearer.

Foot support systems include sole structures, portions of sole structures, drop-in midsole components, insertable sole components (e.g., midsoles or insoles), or the like. The foot support systems may include a foam base member (e.g., made from a relatively thick foam material) and at least one fluid-filled bladder. The fluid-filled bladder(s) may include one or more interior fluid chambers. When multiple interior fluid chambers are present, they may be at substantially the same or different pressures. Additional aspects of this technology relate to articles of footwear that include such foot support systems, such as slides, sandals, and / or other types of footwear.

To provide a footwear tongue and footwear equipped with the tongue, which can effectively prevent the tongue from breaking or slipping down inside the footwear, and can support not only footwear having a structure that can be put on without using a shoehorn but also ordinary footwear, allowing the foot to be easily put on by sliding the foot into the footwear without using a shoehorn or hands, and which is easy to put on when putting on, can prevent the tongue from slipping off after putting on, and also allows the shoelaces to be loosened or tightened. [Solution] The tongue portion 10 is formed of a hard resin, has an uneven pattern 11 on the inner surface Q of the tongue portion 10, and has a pair of linear protrusions 12 that extend linearly in the longitudinal direction of the tongue portion 10 and are taller than the protrusions 11b that make up the uneven pattern 11, and are arranged symmetrically in the lateral direction from the center of the tongue portion 10, and further has a plurality of through holes 13 that are arranged symmetrically in the lateral direction from the center of the tongue portion 10 outside the pair of linear protrusions 12 in the lateral direction of the tongue portion 10.

A waterproof garment, such as a shoe, is formed from a first seamless circular knitted liner, which is coated with resin and cured to form a waterproof layer. The first liner is fitted within a second seamless circular knitted liner. In the case of a shoe, a sole can be attached and a reliably waterproof shoe is thereby provided which can be efficiently manufactured. In another embodiment, the combined liners are used as a waterproof lining for a shoe upper.

There is disclosed a shoelace protector for footwear formed by a plurality of plates arranged along a longitudinal axis. In use, the protector is connected with the laces of a shoe and extends along the laced portion of the shoe from a proximal end to a distal end of the laced portion. One or more linkages connect adjoining pairs of the plurality of plates. One or more proximal connectors are provided on the proximal edge of the proximal-most plate of the plurality of plates to connect the proximal end of the protector with an upper end of a laced portion of the shoe. One or more distal connectors are provided at or near the distal edge of the distal most plate to connect the protector with a lower end of the laced portion of the shoe.

A device for an article of footwear includes a frame that has a footwear plate and an arced shield. The footwear plate is configured to extend at least partially along and under a sole of a wearer's foot. The arced shield is integral with the footwear plate and configured to extend transversely from the footwear plate at least partially over a superior portion of the wearer's foot.
