Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention relates to an article of footwear, such as a loafer, slipper or closed shoe. In the drawings, the sole of the article of footwear is shown, but it should be understood that the sole will typically be provided with a lacing arrangement (not shown) or an upper to secure the foot to the sole.

[0014] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the preferred embodiment of the invention has a sole 2 formed from a top substrate 2A, a midsole 2B and an outsole 2C. The top substrate 2A is bonded to a midsole 2B, and the midsole 2B is bonded to an outsole 2C so as to provide a unitary sole 2 . The top substrate 2A is configured to receive a wearer's foot and is textured to provide a gripping surface for the wearer's foot. The top substrate 2A may be a coating applied to the upper surface of the midsole 2B, such as a textile coating or a fiber layer bonded to the upper surface of the midsole 2B; a stronger insole may be used instead of the top substrate. The top substra...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an item of footwear having a sole, comprising two or more materials of different compressive resistances, flexibility or densities arranged as a frontal / toe region, a mid foot region and a heel region. The item of footwear comprises: a securing means for securing the item of footwear to a foot of a wearer; and a sole having a midsole which has a frontal / toe region, a mid- foot region and a heel region, the mid-foot region of the midsole being formed from a material different to the material used for the heel region such that the mid-foot region has a lower compressive resistance and / or a lower density and / or a higher flexibility than the heel region, wherein the mid-sole is thin and tapered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an article of footwear having a sole comprising two or more materials of different compression resistance, flexibility or density, arranged in a fore / toe area, a midfoot area and a heel area. Background technique [0002] Most shoes are purchased for their aesthetics or their comfort. Comfortable shoes are designed to provide the user with comfortable walking and standing, and generally include sensible interior padding, arch support, and a comfortable sole. In normal use, prior art shoes provide a good stable base for the user's foot and thus reduce the amount of muscular effort required by the user to stand still or walk while maintaining good balance. [0003] The present inventors have previously discovered that by providing slight, but safely measured, instability within an article of footwear, it becomes more difficult for the user to balance while walking or standing, and thus requires more muscular activity to ...
