Problems solved by technology

However, such shoes do not provide sufficient flexibility during the wearer's walking movement and do not conform to the contours of the wearer's foot during walking, so such shoes are not satisfactory
As such, the sole cannot be used in the manufacture of a shoe that provides comfort to the wearer while walking, especially during walking.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 The shown midsole, denoted by the reference number 1 , provides an exceptionally comfortable walking experience and is suitable for example for the manufacture of walking shoes. In its heel area 4, the sole is provided with a shock absorber 6 and behind or near this heel area at least one spacer 8 which completely or partially conforms to the U-shape and acts as a heel side support for the wearer. . The spacers are only shown by dashed lines. The shock absorber is preferably pneumatic and is preferably made of shock-absorbing sole material.

[0024] The midsole is flexible around two slightly curved lines of flex 12, 14 which are oblique with respect to the longitudinal axis 10 of the sole, the lines of flex 12, 14 not intersecting each other and their cavities facing away from each other . Each bend line 12, 14 may have a different radius of curvature; the radius of curvature is generally shortest at the center of the bend line and longest towards the ends...

Abstract

A shoe midsole ( 1 ) for shoes with exceptional walking comfort, eg hiking shoes. The shoe midsole is provided with a shock absorber ( 6 ) in its heel zone ( 4 ) and a bead ( 8 ) behind and adjacent the heel zone, said bead completely or partially following a U-shape and forming a side support for the heel of the wearer. The sole is flexible about at least two slightly curved bending lines ( 12,14 ), which are inclined relative to the longitudinal axis ( 10 ) of the sole, said lines being defined by channels or grooves ( 12,14 ) in the sole material. The bending lines do not intersect each other and their cavities face away from each other. The sole ( 1 ) has a particularly elastic portion ( 16 ) of a hand-like shape with at least two finger-shaped zones ( 18 a ,18 b ,18 c) pointing towards the toe end ( 30 ) of the midsole. As a result the shoe midsole offers a considerable degree of flexibility during the wearer's walking motion. More readily than known it conforms to the organic tissue of the wearer's foot in motion such that the shoe, of which the sole is to be part, is particularly comfortable to use for walking.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a midsole for a shoe, such as a walking shoe, providing superior walking comfort, the midsole being provided with a shock absorber in its heel area and at least one A spacer that fully or partially conforms to a U-shape and acts as a side support for the wearer's heel. Background technique [0002] It is known to manufacture shoe soles using the heel area provided with a shock absorber. Such shock absorbers can be arranged in many different ways, for example by means of springs or air cushions. It is also known to provide approximately U-shaped side support pads in such shoe soles, which are arranged behind or in the vicinity of the wearer's heel. However, such shoes are not satisfactory because they do not provide sufficient flexibility during the wearer's walking motion and do not follow the contours of the wearer's foot during walking. Thus, the sole cannot be used in the manufacture of a shoe that provides comfor...
