Abstract

Support elements for footwear or other products include: (a) a base member having first and second major surfaces; and (b) an extending arm having a free end for engaging a portion of a footwear structure. The extending arm may engage and further support a heel-supporting portion or other structural portion of an article of footwear or other foot-receiving device. Such foot-receiving devices may include: (a) a foot-covering member (such as a footwear upper); (b) a foot-supporting member (such as a footwear sole structure) engaged with the foot-covering member; and (c) a lateral-reinforcing member that includes an extending arm engaged with at least one of the foot-covering member or the foot-supporting member.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention generally relates to support elements used in articles of footwear and other foot-receiving device products. Such support elements may help prevent lateral or shear movement of one portion of the foot-receiving device product relative to other portions of the product. An article of footwear provided with shear support elements according to some embodiments of the present invention, as in a sole structure or other foot support structure, may provide a firmer feel when making sharp turns or other rapid changes in direction. This is especially the case. Background of the invention [0002] A conventional article of footwear, such as athletic footwear structure 100 shown in FIG. 1 , includes two primary elements, an upper member 102 and a sole member or sole structure 104 . Upper member 102 and sole member 104 at least partially define a foot-receiving chamber that is accessible through opening 106 . Upper member 102 provides a ...
