Benefits of technology

[0008] The aim of the present invention is to carry out an improvement of the known art above mentioned, in particular for the purpose of render easier the adjustment step of the width of the footwear, either if it is carried out by the manufacturer, the retailer or the end user.

Problems solved by technology

Such productive diversification, as far as it is the result of a reasonable productive compromise, involves problems both for the footwears manufacturer, which has to arrange, anyway, different plants for shapes, soles, uppers, etcetera, and for the retailers, which have to buy a greater number of versions of the same model of footwear, trying to satisfy the various requirements of the end customers.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] In FIG. 1, a general sport footwear carried out according to the invention is generally indicated by 1, having an higher part or upper 2 and a lower part or sole; in the exemplary case, the sole comprises a lower or outer sole 3 and an intersole 4.

[0030] The type of embodiment of the upper 2 leaves out the purposes of the present invention and therefore it will not be described and shown in detail.

[0031] The outer sole 3 is made of a synthetic material, for example rubber with a differentiated hardness; in the exemplified case, in the outer sole 3 two portions 3a and 3b are found, each one defining a part of tread, for the back part and the front part of the footwear 1, respectively; between the two parts of outer sole 3a and 3b, in correspondence with the zone of the waist edge of the footwear 1, an intermediate portion 3c is foreseen, which does not necessarily perform tread functions. It should be noted that the outer sole 3 could also be formed in multiple discrete piec...

Abstract

A footwear has a sole comprising at least a resilient component having a peripheral profile, with a medial part and a lateral part which define therebetween a width dimension. To the resilient component an adjusting system is associated, operable in order to select a desired adjusting degree of the width dimension. The sole comprises inspection means arrangede for allowing the visual check, from the lower part of the sole, of the adjusting degree selected by means of the adjusting system.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a footwear including an adjusting system, suitable for allowing to adapt the shape of the footwear itself to the one of a user's foot. [0002] It is known that, on the same length, the feet of different persons can vary in shape and width and that even the right and left feet of a same person can be different from each other. The greatest size differences are found in the width, especially in the zone of the sole of the foot. [0003] For this reason, given a certain length, an identical footwear model should ideally be carried out in a multitude of versions, differentiated from each other in terms of width or “fitting”, corresponding to the size of the plan circumference passing between the 1st and the 5th metatartsus. [0004] De facto, the manufacturers perform a mediated choice of versions to be produced, as a function of the sale market of the footwear, its use destination, employed materials, construction typology....
