Benefits of technology

This patent describes a way to make shoes by pressing them while they are still warm from previous steps. This process helps keep the shoe's shape when it is formed, making it faster and cheaper than traditional methods. Overall, this technique makes better quality shoes more efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the complexity and difficulty of making conventional shoes, resulting from the large number of parts needed and the lack of flexibility in the structure. Additionally, there are issues related to the absence of proper fit and comfortable positioning of the foot within the shoe, leading to potential injury or discomfort.

Embodiment Construction

[0056]First, an article of footwear, and then a manufacturing method and machines for implementing the method, are described below with reference to all of the drawing figures.

[0057]As described below, the article of footwear is non-limitingly adapted for walking or running on flat or mountainous terrain. However, other fields of application are possible, such as ball-playing sports, racquet sports, or the like.

[0058]As shown in FIG. 1, an article of footwear 1 is provided to receive the foot of a user. For convenience, the article of footwear 1 will be considered as a shoe in the following description although, as will be shown in detail, its structure is completely unusual. Thus, the shoe 1 extends lengthwise along a longitudinal direction L, between a rear end, or heel 4, and a front end, or tip 5, and widthwise along a transverse direction W, between a lateral side 6 and a medial side 7.

[0059]As shown, the shoe 1 comprises a lower portion 10, provided to surround the foot, and i...

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an article of footwear, the article of footwear comprising at least one shell, the shape of which is set by external heating, the manufacturing method comprising a reference step in which a first shell is positioned on a last, the first shell comprising at least one at least partially hot-melt or thermoformable material, the last extending lengthwise from a rear end to a front end, widthwise between a lateral side and a medial side, and heightwise from a base to a top. The manufacturing method comprises at least one manufacturing step, subsequent to the reference step, the manufacturing step comprising at least one operation of hot-pressing at least a portion of the surface of the first shell arranged on the last.
