Example Embodiment

[0035] Figure 1a It is a perspective view of bottom 7. In a preferred embodiment, the bottom is composed of three layers, namely, a midsole 1, a second intermediate layer 2 as the first layer, and a third layer 3 constituting the outsole. The bow pad 4 is placed on the midsole. Figure 1b Show along Figure 1a The axis A-A is at the bottom in the longitudinal section view. For clarity, the support structure on the inside of the foot has been Figure 1a Is omitted in the view, but in Picture 11 It can be seen that it is indicated by the reference numeral 158.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the midsole 1 is made of a light polyurethane (PU) material, also known as light PU. This material is a well-known special variant of PU, which has a low density (0.35g / cm 3 ), which is a lightweight material. A further feature is that the energy absorbed from the runner can be returned well, which is important for long-distance running. Shore A (Shore A) hardness is between 38 and 40. A...

Abstract

A midsole for a shoe, in particular a running shoe, is described which midsole is asymmetric in a midfoot area, has an upper heel portion embracing the calcaneus of a wearer and has an upwardly extending toe end. In the midfoot area a vertical medial support structure originates from the midsole and supportively embraces the arch. Correspondingly, a vertical lateral support structure supports thelateral side of the foot in the midfoot area. The medial support structure covers a larger area than the lateral support structure, and is connected to the vertically extending upper heel portion of the midsole. The toe end of the midsole is extended upwardly, and provides in combination with the vertically extending upper heel portion and said vertically extending medial and lateral arch supportstructures a midsole which firmly embraces the foot. The result is a shoe, in particular a running shoe, which reduces the risk of injury during running.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to midsoles with arch support, and more particularly to midsoles for running shoes. Background technique [0002] A prior art running shoe shares the concept of foot protection. More precisely, such shoes were considered a protector for the feet. This protection concept has resulted in relatively heavy running shoes, which usually have a highly cushioned sole or insole to moderate the reaction forces from the heel strike and on the ankle joint and leg. Another type of running shoe is an ultra-light shoe, usually under 300 grams. This type is a minimalist type (minimalist) with a thin sole and a thin upper. When designing shoes, the footwear industry has long considered the naturally moving foot to be the ideal state of motion, for example, barefoot running on grass, where the foot, unrestricted by the shoe, is allowed to perform its natural movements. However, once the shoe is on the foot, the natural movement of the foot is ...
