Embodiment Construction

[0027] The following discussion and drawings disclose a sole structure for an article of footwear. The footwear-related concepts disclosed herein are applicable to a variety of athletic footwear styles, including, for example, running shoes, baseball shoes, basketball shoes, cross-training shoes, cycling shoes, football shoes, golf shoes, tennis shoes, walking shoes, and Travel shoes and boots. These concepts can also be applied to footwear styles generally considered non-athletic, including fashion shoes, slippers, sandals, and work boots. Accordingly, the concepts disclosed herein are applicable to a wide variety of footwear styles.

[0028] For consistency and convenience, the adjectives of direction used throughout this detailed description are consistent with the illustrated embodiments. The term "longitudinal" as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims refers to a direction extending the length of the sole structure. In some cases, the direction ma...

Abstract

An article of footwear (10) is provided that includes an upper (14) and a sole structure (12). The sole structure includes a sole plate (100) comprising a forefoot region (16), a midfoot region (18), a heel region (20), a transverse width, a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal arrangement and having a The stiffening rib (110) is the length of the longitudinal axis. The rib includes a rear end disposed proximate the heel area of ​​the sole pan, and the rib extends longitudinally generally across the midfoot area of ​​the sole pan to a front end of the rib. The transverse width of the reinforcing rib spans a substantial portion of the lateral width of the sole pan for a substantial portion of the length of the rib. Also, the transverse width of the rib at the front end and the rear end is less than or equal to the transverse width of the rib at any point between the front end and the rear end.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an article of footwear, and more particularly, to an article of footwear having a sole structure including a sole pan having both rigid and flexible components. Background technique [0002] Conventional articles of athletic footwear include two primary elements: an upper and a sole structure. The upper provides a covering for the foot that comfortably receives the foot and securely positions the foot relative to the sole structure. The sole structure is secured to a lower portion of the upper and is generally positioned between the foot and the ground. In addition to attenuating ground reaction forces (i.e., providing cushioning) during walking, running, and other ambulatory activities, the sole structure can also, for example, affect foot motion (e.g., by resisting pronation), impart stability to the foot, and provide traction force. Thus, the upper and sole work together to provide a comfortable structure suitable...
