Abstract

A sole assembly for an article of footwear is disclosed. The sole assembly includes a central support structure that extends along the sole assembly in the longitudinal direction. The sole assembly includes forefoot wing portions extending away from the central support structure in the lateral direction in the forefoot region of the sole assembly. The sole assembly also includes stability rib portions extending away from the central support structure in the lateral direction in the midfoot region of the sole assembly. The central support structure provides varying amounts of stiffness and flexibility to the sole assembly and the forefoot wing portions and stability rib portions provide additional stiffness and flexibility to desired portions of the sole assembly.

Description

[0001] The application date of this application is May 29, 2013, the application number is 201380027576.0, and the name of the invention is "sole assembly including a central support structure for footwear" (the changed name of the invention is: "including a Structural sole assembly for an article of footwear") application for a divisional application. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to articles of footwear, and in particular to sole assemblies for articles of footwear that include a central support structure. Background technique [0003] Articles of footwear typically include two primary elements: an upper and a sole assembly. The upper may be constructed of various materials that are stitched or bonded together to create a void in the footwear for comfortably and securely receiving the foot. The sole assembly is secured to the lower portion of the upper and is generally located between the foot and the ground. In many articles of footwea...
