Embodiment Construction

[0012]The illustrated shoe sole forms a frame 1 which is composed of a bottom frame part 2 and an upper frame part 3. A flat structure 4 as a foot support of a footbed 5 is clamped between said frame parts 2, 3, with latching pins 6 which engage into latching recesses of the upper frame part 3 facilitating the positioning of the two frame parts 2, 3.

[0013]The flat structure 4, which is preferably knitwear or a knitted fabric, is freely suspended within the frame 1 and is provided with its unloaded shape as a result of the spatial progression of the abutting surface between the two frame parts 2, 3. The edge of the spatial flat structure 4 which is clamped between the frame parts 2, 3 therefore determines the preliminary shape of the footbed 5, which will adjust to the individual shape of the foot under load as a result of the flexibility of the flat structure 4, wherein such adjustment can be supported by different strength properties or different extension properties of the flat st...

Abstract

A shoe sole with a footbed (5) is described which forms a flexible foot support. In order to provide advantageous constructive conditions it is proposed that the foot support consists of a flat structure (4) receiving tensile forces which is held in a freely suspended manner in a frame (1) defining the edge contour of the footbed (5).

Description

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a shoe sole comprising a footbed which forms a flexible foot support.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]The footbed of shoe soles is provided to support the foot by avoiding local pressure spots. It is known for this purpose to arrange the footbed with a foot support which is adapted to an average anatomical shape of the foot and which is provided in a sufficiently elastically flexible way in order to compensate any deviations in the individual shape of the foot of the user of the shoe from the average shape of the foot. A further adjustment of the foot support of a footbed to an individual shape of the foot will be achieved when the foot support consists of a cushion which is provided at least partly with a gel-like filling because the footbed will rest under even pressure on the foot in the region of the cushion. It is disadvantageous however that such a footbed substantially loses the support of the foot for compensating a...
