Abstract

A shoe may include sole portions that are interchangeable with one another. That is, one of the sole portions may be removed from the shoe and replaced by another one of the sole portions. The interchangeable sole portions may include a common set of features (e.g., structure, design, color, etc.). Alternatively, each of the interchangeable sole portions may include a unique features, such that features of the shoe may be modified by exchanging sole portions.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] A shoe sole often includes a variety of structural and aesthetic components, for example, a shoe sole may include multiple components (eg, a midsole and an outsole) that are assembled into various structures and constructed from different materials. Additionally, a variety of sole components may be constructed using a variety of different manufacturing techniques. For example, various molding processes can be used to make the sole portion. Additionally, rapid manufacturing techniques may enable the construction and customization of otherwise challenging sole sections. Summary of the invention [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to shoes having sole portions that are interchangeable with each other and methods of making the same. That is, one of the sole portions may be removed from the shoe and replaced by another of the sole portions. Interchangeable sole portions may include a common set of characteristics (eg, structu...
