Multifunctional outdoor shoe

Abstract

Described are shoes, in particular mountain shoes, mountain running shoes, trail running shoes and climbing shoes, as well as methods for their manufacture. The shoe may include a shoe upper, a textile two-dimensional region connected to the shoe upper, which extends beneath a foot of a user of the shoe when worn, and an outsole unit with a rubber material. The textile two-dimensional region is connected to the rubber material of the outsole unit without a bonding agent.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is related to and claims priority benefits from German Patent Application No. DE 10 2014 213 303.3, filed on Jul. 9, 2014, entitled Multifunctional outdoor shoe, in particular mountain shoe, mountain running shoe, trail running shoe or climbing shoe, as well as method for its manufacture (“the '303.3 application”). The '303.3 application is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a shoe, in particular a multifunctional outdoor shoe like a mountain shoe, mountain running shoe, a trail running shoe, a climbing shoe or an approach shoe, as well as a method for the manufacture of such a shoe.BACKGROUND[0003]By the use of soles, shoes are provided with a plethora of different properties, which may be developed to different degrees, depending on the specific type of shoe.[0004]In order to prevent, for example, injuries or overstraining of the muscu...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0028]In certain embodiments, the releasable insole comprises at least one of the following: a heel support; a midfoot support; a recess for an electronic component; and a reinforcement foil in at least one of a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region, wherein the reinforcement foil comprises thermoplastic polyurethane. The reinforcement foil, in some embodiments, increases a stiffness of the releasable insole.

Problems solved by technology

The shoes known from the prior art may be less comfortable when worn for a longer period of time, in particular if the shoe upper is itself formed from rubber, which can hence lead, for example, to an excessive sweating of the foot.

Furthermore, the connection of the shoe upper to the sole only exists in individual regions along the rim such that the stability of the shoe- and sole construction needed for climbing, for example, may not be provided.

In addition, the shoes known from the prior art require an increased manufacturing effort that may necessitate the use of additional binders.
