Embodiment Construction

[0033] In various types of activities, it may be beneficial to change the shape of a shoe or shoe portion while the wearer is running or otherwise participating in the activity. In many running competitions, for example, athletes race along a track that has curved sections, also known as "curves." In some cases (particularly sprint events such as 200-meter or 400-meter races), athletes may run at a high pace on the curves of the track. However, running at a fast pace on a gentle curve is biomechanically inefficient and may require unmanageable body movements. To counteract this effect, some runway curves are banked. This incline allows for more efficient body movement and generally results in faster running times. Tests have shown that similar advantages can be achieved by changing the shape of the shoe. In particular, running on a gentle track curve with a shoe with a shoe footbed that slopes relative to the ground can mimic the benefits of running on an inclined bend with...

Abstract

A method of filling an electrorheological fluid structure may include introducing an electrorheological fluid into an interior volume of a housing. The electrorheological fluid within the housing may then be subjected to subatmospheric pressure. Subsequently, the inner volume may be sealed with respect to the exterior of the housing.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 62 / 260,897, filed November 30, 2015, entitled "Method of Filling Structures with Electrorheological Fluids." This application 62 / 260,897 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] A conventional article of footwear generally includes an upper and a sole structure. The upper provides coverage for 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 configured to lie between the foot and the ground when the wearer stands, walks or runs. [0004] Traditional footwear is generally designed with the goal of optimizing the shoe for a particular condition or set of conditions. For example, sports such as tennis and basketball require considerable side-to-side movement. Shoes designed to be worn while performing such sports often...
