Benefits of technology

[0001]The present invention relates to an improved sole for footwear which modifies the phase of contact of the foot with the ground in a roller, such that it transforms the process of reception of the ground (with the heel of the foot) and forward translation of the propelling forces (by means of the area of the metatarsus and toes) in a roller effect.
[0002]The object of the invention is a sole with a curved shape, provided with a wedge which causes the damping / stability / impulse effects and which in turn actuates an airing system, the outsole thus configured allowing a rotation on the ground such that the inertia of the body and the vertical forces applied from the heel of the foot are more easily converted into horizontal propelling forces.

Problems solved by technology

This type of footwear causes a certain gait, through which some parts of the locomotor system are no longer used, which can generate back, joint, vein, pain or deviation problems.
This footwear is based on its instability, such that the body, due to its tendency to seek balance, performs small muscular works intended for the conservation of said balance, which translates into an almost imperceptible physical and toning activity.
However, no footwear for frequent daily use which is capable of offering all the aforementioned features is known.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The improved sole for footwear proposed by the invention has all the aforementioned features: convex or rounded shape, provided with a stabilizer, with a damping system and with an internal system for the rotation of air.

[0018]To that end, and more specifically, the improved sole for footwear proposed by the invention is configured from a sole (1) with a curved or rounded convex shape, formed by four main parts, which are structured as follows, from top to bottom:

[0019]A stabilizer (2), with the curve of the last, consisting of a rigid sheet of a thermoplastic material or the like which encompasses the entire sole of the foot, providing stability and rigidity to the footwear at the time of the step, fixes the position of the foot to prevent twists and sprains, and distributes the pressures along the sole. Furthermore, this parts fulfills the function of securing the shoe for the purpose of favoring the walking with a rocking effect and securing the foot, so that it does twist ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an improved sole for footwear with a convex or rounded shape, provided with a stabilizer, with a damping system and with an internal system for the rotation of air, which modifies the phase of contact of the foot with the ground in a roller, such that it transforms the process of reception of the ground (with the heel of the foot) and forward translation of the propelling forces (by means of the area of the metatarsus and toes) in a roller effect, obtaining the damping / stability / impulse effects, and the actuation of the airing system by means of a pad / wedge, the outsole thus configured allowing a rotation on the ground such that the inertia of the body and the vertical forces applied from the heel of the foot are more easily converted into horizontal propelling forces.
