Embodiment Construction

[0036] The following discussion and accompanying figures disclose systems and methods for manufacturing articles of footwear. Concepts associated with the disclosed systems and methods may be applied to a variety of different types of footwear, including athletic, dress, casual, or other types of footwear.

[0037] For consistency and convenience, directional adjectives are used throughout the detailed description corresponding to the illustrated embodiments. The term "longitudinal," as used throughout this detailed description and in the claims, refers to a direction extending along the length of the article of footwear, that is, extending from the forefoot portion to the heel portion. The term "forward" is used to refer to the general direction in which the toes of the foot are pointing, and the term "rearward" is used to refer to the opposite direction, eg, the direction in which the heel of the foot is facing.

[0038] The term "transverse direction," as used throughout t...

Abstract

The present application relates to a sole structure for an article of footwear having an upper secured thereto, the sole structure comprising: an outsole; a plurality of support members, the plurality of support members extending between the upper and the outsole; and a stretchable member encircling each support member of the plurality of support members between the upper and the outsole At least a portion of the periphery of the member, wherein the article of footwear includes a stretching device configured to stretching members to selectively change properties of the plurality of support members.

Description

[0001] This application is an invention patent application 201380068452.7 (International Application Number: PCT / US2013 / 077500) divisional application. technical field [0002] The present application relates to a sole structure for an article of footwear. Background technique [0003] Articles of athletic footwear often include two primary elements, an upper and a sole structure. The upper provides comfortable coverage for the foot and securely positions the foot relative to the sole structure. The sole structure is secured to the lower portion of the upper (eg, by an adhesive fit) and is generally positioned between the foot and the ground. In addition to attenuating ground reaction forces (ie, providing cushioning) during walking, running, and other dynamic activities, the sole structure can also affect foot motion (eg, by resisting pronation), impart stability, and provide traction. Thus, the upper and sole structure work in tandem to provide a comfortable structure ...
