Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a sole structure for a shoe and a shoe with the sole structure.

[0002] As a sole structure for a shoe designed to reduce the strain on the foot of a shoe wearer, for example during training, a sole structure according to Japanese patent no. 4886260 was proposed.

[0003] The sole structure described in Japanese Patent No. 4886260 comprises a plurality of shock-absorbing modules, each including a resin foam shock-absorbing element and a tread attached to the underside of the shock-absorbing element, beneath a base plate made of non-foamed resin. In the sole structure described above, the base plate's design ensures a predetermined hardness, thus maintaining the stability of the sole of the foot. Furthermore, the placement of the plurality of shock-absorbing modules beneath the base plate mitigates the impact of walking on the foot. SUMMARY

[0004] In recent years, there has been a trend towards the sole structure of a shoe having a function that supports pushing off from a road surface, so that an athlete can achieve a high running speed and high acceleration force while running.

[0005] However, the sole structure of Japanese patent no. 4886260 is designed to ensure the stability of the wearer's foot sole and shock absorption during push-off; the addition of a function to support the push-off of the wearer's shoe was not considered at all.

[0006] The present disclosure was conceived against this background and thus one objective of the present disclosure is to provide a sole structure for a shoe that provides stability for the sole of a foot and shock absorption upon impact and has a push-off support function, and to provide a shoe with the sole structure.

[0007] To solve the aforementioned problem, a first aspect of the present disclosure is a sole structure for a shoe comprising a midsole made of a soft elastic material, the upper surface of which serves as a supportive sole for the wearer, and an outsole made of an elastic material harder than the material of the midsole, the underside of which serves as the ground surface. The sole structure includes a thin plate made of an elastic material having a higher modulus of elasticity than the material of the midsole, arranged on the underside of the midsole above the outsole, and a shock-absorbing element made of a soft elastic material, arranged on the upper surface of the outsole such that it rests against the underside of the plate, at least in a rearfoot region of the shoe.wherein the plate extends from a point corresponding to the calcaneus of the foot of the shoe wearer at least to a point corresponding to the first interphalangeal joint of the foot, is arranged in the rearfoot area of ​​the shoe between the midsole and the shock-absorbing body, is arranged in a forefoot area of ​​the shoe between the midsole and the outsole and is designed such that at least one section of the plate serves as an exposed section in which an underside of the plate is exposed in a midfoot area of ​​the shoe at a point above the ground surface.

[0008] In the sole structure of the first aspect, a thin plate, made of an elastic material with a higher modulus of elasticity than the midsole material, is positioned between the midsole and the outsole. This plate extends lengthwise, corresponding to the length of the wearer's foot, and is thus placed between the midsole and the outsole. The inclusion of this plate provides stable support for the wearer's foot.

[0009] In the sole structure of the first aspect, a shock-absorbing element made of a soft, elastic material is positioned between the midsole and the outsole. This element is designed to rest against the underside of the plate, at least in the rearfoot area. This reduces the load exerted upon impact with the road surface due to the deformation of the shock-absorbing element, as well as the resulting load transmitted from the road surface through the sole structure to the wearer's foot. Furthermore, the shock-absorbing element described above rests against the underside of the longitudinally extending plate, thereby distributing the load transmitted from the road surface through the sole structure to the wearer's foot.Thus, the load is not concentrated on a single section. The design described above therefore mitigates the impact on the wearer's foot when stepping on it.

[0010] Furthermore, in the sole structure of the first embodiment, the thin plate, which is made of an elastic material with a higher modulus of elasticity than the material of the midsole, extends forward from the point corresponding to the heel bone of the wearer's foot at least to the point corresponding to the first interphalangeal joint of the foot. In addition, in the rearfoot area, the plate extending forward as described above is positioned away from the road surface and above the shock-absorbing body, and in the forefoot area, it is positioned close to the road surface and directly adjacent to the outsole. In the midfoot area, at least one section of the plate serves as the exposed section, in which the underside of the plate is exposed at a point above the ground surface.In the sole structure described above, the plate extends long forward, and furthermore, at least one section of the plate in the midfoot area is designed to serve as the exposed section in which the underside of the plate is exposed, thereby achieving a design in which a certain degree of downward bending is permitted and in which, in the forefoot area, a section of the plate that is away from a center of curvature and in which a large tension acts when the sole structure is bent downwards is arranged directly on the outsole, so that hardly any downward bending occurs.When the wearer pushes off from the road surface, the plate, in the design described above, is not locally bent at the point corresponding to the flexion of the metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints). Instead, the entire plate is bent largely according to the wearer's weight shift after impact, until push-off occurs. As described above, the plate is bent extensively, thus increasing the restoring force resulting from the elastic deformation of the plate and, consequently, the force with which the wearer pushes off from the road surface. Therefore, the wearer can push off powerfully from the road surface while running, enabling high running speed and high acceleration force.

[0011] As described above, after the first aspect, the sole structure can be provided, which offers stability for the sole of the foot and shock absorption when walking, and also has a push-off support function.

[0012] According to a second aspect, in the first aspect at least in the midfoot area of ​​the shoe at least one protruding section is formed in the plate, which projects upwards from a top or downwards from a bottom.

[0013] Furthermore, the midfoot area of ​​the sole structure, corresponding to the shape of a person's foot, usually has a narrower width than the forefoot and rearfoot areas and low flexural stiffness.

[0014] In the sole structure of the second aspect, at least one protruding section is formed in at least one section of the plate located in the midfoot area, thereby increasing the bending stiffness of that section. The design described above reduces local bending of the plate in the midfoot area.

[0015] According to a third aspect, at least one protruding section is formed in the exposed section of the plate in the second aspect.

[0016] In the sole structure of the third aspect, at least one protruding section is formed in the easily downward-bendable exposed section of the plate, thereby increasing the bending stiffness of the exposed section. The design described above reduces excessive deformation in the exposed section of the plate.

[0017] According to a fourth aspect, the foreground section, in the second or third aspect, is a linearly foreground section that extends in a longitudinal direction.

[0018] In the sole structure of the fourth aspect, the projecting section intended to increase the flexural stiffness of the plate is formed by a linearly projecting section extending in the longitudinal direction. The flexural stiffness of the plate can be further increased by the design described above.

[0019] According to a fifth aspect, the shock-absorbing body in one of aspects one to four is designed to extend from the rearfoot area to the midfoot area of ​​the shoe, and an opening is formed in the shock-absorbing body that penetrates the shock-absorbing body in a vertical direction, and the exposed section of the plate is formed by the opening.

[0020] While the rearfoot strike, in which a rearfoot (a heel section) is placed on the ground first, is the usual gait, some high-speed runners use the midfoot strike, in which a lateral section of the midfoot is placed on the ground first.

[0021] In the sole structure of the fifth aspect, the shock-absorbing element, which mitigates the impact on the wearer's foot when walking, extends from the rearfoot to the midfoot. This design allows the impact on the wearer's foot to be mitigated even if the rearfoot or midfoot strikes the ground first.

[0022] If the shock-absorbing element is present not only in the rearfoot but also in the midfoot, the weight of the sole structure increases, and the running characteristics are likely to be impaired. However, in the sole structure of the fifth aspect, an opening is incorporated into the shock-absorbing element, thereby reducing the weight of the sole structure. Furthermore, the opening described above is designed so that the shock-absorbing element is slightly deformable upon impact. The cushioning properties of the shock-absorbing element are thus enhanced. Accordingly, the sole structure described above can reduce the weight and further mitigate the impact on the wearer's foot upon impact.

[0023] According to a sixth aspect, the shock-absorbing body is only provided in the rearfoot area in one of aspects one to five.

[0024] In the sole structure of the sixth aspect, the shock-absorbing element, which cushions the impact on the wearer's foot when walking, is only present in the rearfoot area. In the sole structure described above, the shock-absorbing element that inhibits downward bending is therefore not located in the midfoot area. Consequently, the plate in the midfoot area of ​​this sole structure is more flexible, and the force with which the wearer pushes off the road surface while walking is further increased.

[0025] According to a seventh aspect, the sixth aspect involves an opening extending through the shock absorber body in a vertical direction in a section of the shock absorber body that is central in a transverse direction.

[0026] In the sole structure of the seventh aspect, the opening is formed in the central section of the shock-absorbing element located in the rearfoot area of ​​the shoe. The weight of the sole structure can be reduced by forming this opening in the shock-absorbing element. Furthermore, the shock-absorbing element is more easily deformed upon impact due to this opening. The damping properties of the shock-absorbing element are therefore enhanced. Consequently, the impact on the wearer's foot upon impact can be mitigated by this sole structure, while simultaneously reducing weight.

[0027] An eighth aspect is a shoe that includes the sole structure for a shoe according to one of the aspects one to seven.

[0028] According to the eighth aspect, a shoe can be achieved that has the same effects as aspects one to seven.

[0029] As described above, according to the present disclosure, the sole structure, which provides stability for the sole of the foot and shock absorption when walking and also has a push-off support function, as well as a shoe with the sole structure, can be provided.

[0067] In the first embodiment, the plate 20 so designed that a front edge of the plate 20 is located near a point that corresponds to the tip of the first toe of the shoe wearer's foot.

[0068] How Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows that the plate extends lengthwise in the manner described above and is essentially S-shaped. 20 in the forefoot area F of the shoe S between the underside of the midsole 10 and the top of the outsole 40 (of the first section) 41 ) arranged.

[0069] On the other side is the plate 20 , as in Fig. 3, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shown, in the rearfoot area H of the shoe S between the underside of the midsole 10 and the top of the shock absorber body 30 arranged.

[0070] How Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 further show that it is in the midfoot area M of the shoe S at least a section of the plate 20 It is designed to serve as an exposed section, in which the underside is exposed at a point above the ground surface. The shock absorber body 30 is not on the underside of the exposed section of the plate 20 arranged, and the exposed section of the plate 20 hovers above the road surface and is compared to a section of the plate 20 , on which the shock absorber body 30 It is arranged on the underside of the section and is easily bendable downwards. In the first embodiment, as described above, the crescent-shaped shock absorber body also allows for this. 30 trained opening 31 the crescent-shaped exposed section in the plate 20 formed in which the underside is exposed above the ground surface.

[0072] How Fig. 2, Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 and Fig. 10 show, is in the sole structure 1 of the first embodiment furthermore the opening 31 in the shock absorber body 30 at the reinforcement section 24 the record 20 The corresponding position was trained. Thus, the reinforcement section serves 24 in the record 20 , whose hardness is increased, in the sole structure 1 as the exposed section of the plate 20 , in which the underside is exposed above the ground surface. As described above, the reinforcement section comprises 24 the multitude of preceding sections 25 , which alters the sole structure 1 a configuration in which at least one preceding section 25 in the exposed section of the slab 20 is trained. -Advantageous effects of the first embodiment -

[0073] The record 20 , which is made of an elastic material that has a higher modulus of elasticity than the material of the midsole 10 , which extends lengthwise to correspond to the length of the sole of the shoe wearer's foot and has the form of a thin plate, is part of the sole structure 1 of the first embodiment as described above between the midsole 10 and the outsole 40 provided. The plate provided as described above. 20 This enables stable support of the sole of the shoe wearer's foot.

[0074] Furthermore, the shock absorber body 30 , which is made of a soft elastic material and is located at least in the rearfoot area H on the underside of the plate 20 is designed to fit snugly, in the sole structure 1 of the first embodiment between the midsole 10 and the outsole 40 This is provided for. Thus, a shock absorber body made of a soft elastic material is designed to deform upon impact. 30 load acting on the road surface and also a reaction to it from the road surface via the sole structure 1 The load acting on the sole of the shoe wearer's foot is reduced. Furthermore, the shock-absorbing body described above... 30 so designed that it is located on the underside of the long, longitudinally extending plate 20 is located, resulting in a reaction from the road surface to the sole structure upon impact. 1 load acting on the sole of the shoe wearer through the plate 20 The load is distributed. Therefore, no load is concentrated in a specific section. The structure described above thus mitigates the impact on the wearer's foot when walking.

[0075] Furthermore, the plate extends 20 , which is made of an elastic material that has a higher modulus of elasticity than the material of the midsole 10 , and which is formed in the form of a thin plate, in the sole structure 1 the first embodiment from the calcaneus HL of the foot of the shoe wearer at least up to the first interphalangeal joint J1 corresponding point forward. Furthermore, the sole structure... 1 the plate extending long forward 20 in the rearfoot area H away from the road surface on the shock absorber 30 provided and in the forefoot area F close to the road surface, directly on the sole of the foot 40 provided, and at least one section of the plate 20 serves as the exposed section where the underside is located in the midfoot area M at one point above the ground surface. In the case of the sole structure described above. 1 the plate extends 20 so long forwards, and furthermore it serves in the midfoot area M at least a section of the plate 20 than the exposed section in which the underside is exposed, thereby achieving a design in which a certain degree of downward bending is permitted and in the forefoot area F a section of the plate 20 , which is located away from a center of curvature and where a high tension acts, directly on the outsole 40 is arranged when the sole structure 1 It is bent downwards, so that there is hardly any downward bend. When the shoe wearer pushes off from the road surface, the plate 20 through the above-described design at a metatarsophalangeal joint MP corresponding point not corresponding to a flexion of the metatarsophalangeal joints MP locally bent, but the entire plate 20 After impact, the plate is bent largely according to a weight shift of the shoe wearer until it pushes off. As described above, the plate 20 largely bent, so that the elastic deformation of the plate 20 The conditional restoring force is increased, and the force with which the wearer pushes off from the road surface is amplified by this high restoring force. The wearer can therefore push off powerfully from the road surface while running, resulting in high running speed and high acceleration force.

[0076] As described above, the sole structure 1 The first embodiment has a sole structure 1 available which provides stability for the sole of the foot and shock absorption when walking, and also has a push-off support function.

[0077] Furthermore, the midfoot area M the sole structure 1 According to the shape of a person's foot, it has a narrower width than the forefoot area. F and the rearfoot area H and has low bending stiffness.

[0078] Thus, the sole structure 1 of the first embodiment at least in one area of ​​the midfoot M lying section of the plate 20 at least one of the preceding sections 25 formed, which projects upwards from the top or downwards from the bottom, thereby increasing the bending stiffness of the midfoot area M lying section of the plate 20 The increased resistance is achieved through the design described above. Local bending of the plate is prevented. 20 in the midfoot area M reducible.

This design prevents excessive deformation in the exposed section of the plate. 20 reducible.

[0080] Furthermore, it is used to increase the bending stiffness of the plate. 20 the preceding section 25 in the sole structure 1 The first embodiment is formed from a linearly projecting section extending in the longitudinal direction. The design described above allows the bending stiffness of the plate to be reduced. 20 will be increased further.

[0081] While the rearfoot strike, in which a rearfoot (a heel section) is placed on the ground first, is the usual gait, some high-speed runners use the midfoot strike, in which a lateral section of the midfoot is placed on the ground first.

[0082] Regarding the sole structure 1 In the first embodiment, therefore, the shock absorber body 30 , which mitigates the impact on the foot of the shoe wearer when stepping, is designed in such a way that it extends from the rearfoot area H to the midfoot area M extends. The design described above allows for a reduction in impact on the wearer's foot when stepping on the shoe, even if the rear foot or midfoot is the first to touch down.

[0083] If the shock absorber body 30 not only in the rearfoot area H , but also in the midfoot area M The weight of the sole structure is intended to be 1 This increases the likelihood of reduced running performance. Regarding the sole structure... 1 However, in the first embodiment the opening 31 in the shock absorber body 30 designed, resulting in a reduction of the weight of the sole structure 1 is achieved. Furthermore, the opening described above is 31 designed so that the shock absorber body 30 It is easily deformable upon impact. The damping properties of the shock absorber. 30 are therefore increased. Accordingly, the sole structure described above allows for... 1 The impact on the foot of a shoe wearer when stepping on it is further mitigated, while at the same time reducing the increase in weight.
