Benefits of technology

[0040]In some examples, the sole element comprises a first insulating element extending at least partially below the second portion and/or at least partially below the transport element. In particular, the sole element may comprise a first insulating element extending below the entire second portion and/or below the entire transport element. By providing such a first insulating element, a release of the heat generated in the second portion towards the ground in the area of the second portion may be prevented. Additionally or alternatively, a release of the generated heat that is transported through the transport element towards the ground may be prevented along the transport element. The first insulating element may be provided for example as an insulating layer. A layer is understood as a relatively thin eleme

Problems solved by technology

However, a mere insulation of a shoe from its environment may not be sufficient to keep certain regions of a foot warm, such as the toe region, especially when the shoe is used in a cold environment for a longer period of time.
However, creating heat by chemical reactions or phase change may require the need of toxic substances.
Moreover, such an approach is a one-time process, such that the chemical compound needs to be frequently replaced whi

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sole element, such as an insole, for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, as well as to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe. A sole element for a shoe comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion comprises a deformable material, which is adapted to generate heat by being deformed. The sole element moreover comprises a transport element adapted for selectively directing the generated heat from the second portion to the first portion.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to German application 10 2015 224 702.3, filed Dec. 9, 2015, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference thereto.1. TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a sole element, such as an insole, for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, as well as to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe.2. BACKGROUND[0003]Shoes may provide their wearer with various functionalities such as traction, cushioning, protection from sharp objects, heat management, etc. Therein, different regions of a shoe may be provided with varying properties according to the different needs in these regions.[0004]For example, from document U.S. Pat. No. 6,528,140 it is known that an article of footwear may provide a dual energy management system. For example, a first area in a forefoot portion may comprise an elastic material, whereas a second area in a rearfoot portion comprises a viscous material. Such a design may ...
