Problems solved by technology

This peeling can impair the functionality of the board
Furthermore, such boards may damage the board and not return sufficient energy to the wearer due to the excessive cushioning provided by the midsole around the board
In other cases, completely encapsulating the plate in the injected midsole foam would make the sole assembly too rigid and lack flexibility

Embodiment Construction

[0038]inFigure 1-4 The current embodiment of the shoe is illustrated in and the shoe is generally labeled 10. In this embodiment, the shoe includes a sole assembly 20 that includes a first midsole platform 30, a second midsole platform 40, a plate 60 between them, and a shoe with multiple treads in the forefoot area of ​​the shoe Outer bottom layer 50, where the board is directly above and joined to the outer bottom layer. Although the current embodiment is illustrated in the context of running shoes, its sole components can be incorporated into any type or style of shoes, including training shoes, trekking and trekking boots, work boots, all-terrain shoes, hiking shoes, Sports shoes, running shoes, rubber-soled sports shoes, regular tennis shoes, walking shoes, multifunctional shoes, casual shoes, dress shoes or any other type of shoes or shoe parts. It should also be noted that directional terms such as "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "inner", "inward"...

Abstract

A footwear construction includes a sole assembly including a first midsole platform, a second midsole platform below the first midsole platform, a spring plate disposed between the first and second midsole platforms, and an outsole layer disposed below and joined directly with at least one of the plate, the first and the second midsole platforms. The outsole layer can be substantially the only layer below the plate in the forefoot region of the footwear so an underfoot force engaging the outsole layer is transmitted directly to the plate, which also can have an upward curving, multi-radii transition portion extending from a lowermost portion to a forward most portion of the plate so as to roll a wearer's foot forward into a next stride in a gait cycle of the wearer. The plate can define anaperture. A mounting cap can extend through the aperture and can receive a traction spike.

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention relates to shoes, and more particularly, to shoes that include a sole assembly having a composite panel that cooperates with an outsole to provide the wearer with an increased turnover rate and improved energy return.Background technique[0002]There are various different types of sole components used in conjunction with shoes. Many sole components include a midsole constructed of foam and a bottom outsole that is generally constructed of rubber to improve durability. The foam provides cushioning under the foot, and the outsole may include lugs for grip and wear resistance. Some sole components may also include an insole located above the midsole to improve the comfort of the wearer when wearing shoes.[0003]Many manufacturers, especially those of running shoes and training shoes, modify sole components to include sole girdle or plates to add or provide customized hardness levels to the sole components. One common type of board is a composite ...
