[0001] The present disclosure relates to outsoles for shoes (especially football shoes), shoes including said outsoles, and methods for manufacturing outsoles.
Background Art
[0002] When designing outsoles and / or shoes for shoes, compromises are often made between different characteristics that the outsoles and / or shoes should have. Exemplarily, football shoes with a hard outsole can provide extremely excellent characteristics for running at high speeds, while on the other hand, a hard outsole can result in a reduction in comfort. Therefore, there is a continuing need for shoes designed to improve the overall characteristics of the outsoles and / or shoes.

[0045] The outsole according to the embodiment of this application provides the wearer with various beneficial effects. It is designed for use in sports (e.g., football). The outsole is designed for use in sports. It is possible to promote optimal athletic performance for the wearer, while also providing comfortable footwear. Apparel can also be provided. The outsole provides rigidity in specific areas. And it is designed to provide flexibility in other areas. The combination of flexibility provides comfort while promoting desired driving performance characteristics. It is possible to advance it. The outsole according to the embodiment of this application has the following problems and Designed to address and / or pursue at least partially the purpose ru.
[0046] Shoes optimized for high-speed running (i.e., sprinting) (for example) The outsole for football shoes may exhibit rigid material behavior. This can create significant problems for the wearer. For example, a stiff outsole. The sole can reduce the wearer's comfort. In addition, a stiff outsole can reduce the comfort of the foot. The overall flexibility of the shoe is reduced, thus reducing the feel of the ball. There is a possibility that... Furthermore, outsole exhibits linear and / or homogeneous rigid behavior. The rudder is effectively accelerated due to restricted metatarsal and / or toe flexion. This may hinder the wearer's ability. Therefore, more toe flexion is beneficial. In a sprint start that is considered to be disadvantageous, this is exemplary. The outsole allows for high-speed running (i.e., sprinting) and overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. It is possible to avoid this at least partially.
[0047] Many sports (for example, football and / or American football, etc.) ) requires multiple sprints between games. It may also be covered with grass. Starting a sprint on a straight surface is difficult, even with studs. It may turn out to be difficult. The reason is that the starting blocks are ordinary In sports, like sprints, there is an external object for pushing off. Because there is no outsole. The outsole according to the embodiments of the present disclosure provides improved sprinting We provide shoes that enable a better start (i.e., enable a better push-off). It is possible.
[0048] Shoes like football shoes have a relatively flat and / or stiff axle. They usually have an outsole, which is suitable for walking and / or moderate running. and / or during acceleration, making it difficult or less for the foot to roll. This also makes it difficult. However, the curved outsole provides stability and / or control. It is also known that this can lead to limited ground contact. (For example, football, rugby, etc.) are not normally accepted. The outsole, designed for optimal performance, is suitable for walking and / or moderate running. It allows for acceleration and / or less instability and / or limited ground contact. It is possible to provide an outsole that partially avoids the problem.
[0049] Outsoles for shoes that include cushioning elements Properties provided by the cushioning element without being changed themselves (for example, This usually does not allow the compression ratio and / or cushioning properties to be met. Therefore, the adaptation of the cushion element (for example, by changing the material) is generally This is associated with considerable effort. The outsole according to the embodiments of this disclosure has this drawback. It is possible to overcome this, at least partially.

For example, the first sole segment and The and / or second sole segment consists of multiple carbon fiber layers and / or glass fiber layers. It is possible to include them, and they are embedded within the polymer matrix. Nevertheless, the first sole segment and / or the second sole segment are Each can also be a single layer. The first sole segment and / or the second The sole segments do not need to be closed layers, but rather grid-like and / or It can also have a frame-like structure. Grid-like and / or frame A frame-like structure is particularly advantageous due to the reduced weight of the outsole. It is possible. In some embodiments, the first sole segment and / or second The sole segment is made of polyamide 11 (PA11) and / or polyamide 12 (P It is possible to include polymers such as A12). The first sole segment and / or the second sole segment are made of thermoplastic elastomer - (TPE) (for example, polyether block amide (PEBA), etc.) and / or It may include thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). In some embodiments, The first sole segment and / or the second sole segment are formed by injection molding. It is possible to form at least partially. For example, layers can be formed. It is possible, or a grid-like and / or frame-like supporting structure is It is possible to bar-mold it. Furthermore, composite materials (for example, carbon fiber reinforced polymer) can be used. (e.g., glass fiber reinforced polymers and / or other reinforcing materials) are used in the first sole. It may be included by the saddle and / or second sole segment. In some embodiments, the first sole segment and / or the second sole segment The term refers to additive manufacturing methods (for example, 3D printing methods) and It can be formed at least partially by a combination of processing methods. In one embodiment, the first sole segment and / or the second sole segment The material of the toe box can be made to be less hard in the toe area than in the midfoot area. ru.
[0052] As described herein, injection molding, overmolding, or other similar processes Components co-formed by the formation manufacturing process (for example, the first sole segment) The sole (second sole segment) is a component formed as a single unit. The components formed are co-formed pros used to fabricate the components. As a result of Seth, they are connected as a whole.
[0053] The studs (which may also be referred to as cleats) according to embodiments of the present disclosure are made of soft glass. It serves to provide static friction to the wearer on surfaces such as grass fields. It is possible to do so. The use of studs is in football (i.e., soccer, America). Known from the fields of football, rugby, and / or athletics. In this embodiment, the studs are located on the first sole segment and / or the second sole It is possible to form it integrally with the segment. In some embodiments, sta The stud is injected at least partially (for example, at the tip of the stud) onto the base material. It is possible to do so. In some embodiments, the base material is on top of the stud tip. It is possible to inject at least partially into such a form. In such embodiments, prefabricated The stud tip is placed inside the mold and over-injected by the base material. (over-injected). The base material is the first sole segment and / or the second It is possible to include a sole segment. In some embodiments, the studs are It is possible to include TPU. Studs that are integrally formed or injection-molded are studs Eliminates the need to screw in and / or replace the head. However, mutually interchangeable Studs or screw-type studs can also be used. Such embodiments So, studs of different lengths and / or materials are used for different ground conditions. It is possible to do so.
[0054] The midfoot portion of the outsole provides at least partial support to the wearer's metatarsals. It can be said that it is a part of the outsole which is composed of The toe section is configured to at least partially support the wearer's toes. It can be referred to as a part of the sole. Generally, the wearer's midfoot is the midfoot. It is understood that the toe can be separated at the interphalangeal joint. Therefore, it is possible to consider the metatarsophalangeal joint as part of the forefoot, However, it is understood that it is not possible to consider it as part of the midfoot.
[0055] Since the first sole segment and the second sole segment partially overlap, It is understood that segments cannot perfectly match each other. Therefore, Weight can be reduced. Furthermore, the first sole segment and the second sole Each of the wheel segments includes at least one stud, so they are preferably It is understood that both are configured to engage with ground.
[0056] In some embodiments, a first sole segment and a second sole segment They partially overlap, with a portion of the first sole segment overlapping the second sole segment. It is positioned on a portion of the to. In some embodiments, the first so The sole segment and the second sole segment partially overlap, and the second sole A portion of the segment is positioned on top of a portion of the first sole segment. It is. Unless it is determined that it is not, it is placed on top of another component. The component described as "a component perpendicular to the ground-facing surface of the outsole" It is positioned perpendicularly above another component.
[0057] Furthermore, the overlapping areas (i.e., the first sole segment and the second sole) The target characteristics are set by the area where the segments overlap. It is possible to do so. For example, the rigidity of the outsole and / or the support of the foot overlap It is possible to increase it in the area where it is located. At will, the first sole segment The toe partially overlaps with the second sole segment, and / or the second sole The segment partially overlaps with the first sole segment. Areas that are already being engineered can be further selectively targeted.
[0058] The first sole segment and the second sole segment are one or the other of the outsole. Multiple areas do not necessarily have to overlap at least partially. In particular, the first The sole segment and the second sole segment support the wearer's toes. In the first area of the rule, there does not need to be at least partially overlapping. Therefore This may enhance toe flexion, and more toe flexion is beneficial. This may give an advantage at the start of a sprint. Furthermore, the second sole, in particular The segment is made of a softer (i.e., less rigid) material than the first sole segment. It is possible to include this, and it still does not provide sufficient support in the midfoot area. However, this results in a better feel for the ball and / or toe flexion. It is.
[0059] The first cushion element and / or the second cushion element (i.e., The cushion element is, for example, glued, welded, overmolded, and / or The first sole segment and / or second sole segment are attached by stitching. It is possible to attach it. The cushion element has at least one cushioning It may include a head and / or at least one spring element. The first cushioning element and the second cushioning element are located in the first sole segment. Because it is positioned between the toe and the second sole segment, the cushioning element is above It is possible to place them at least partially in the overlapping area described above. It is understood that the cushioning element may involve substantially elastic material behavior. It is possible. Therefore, the cushioning element provides improved energy return to the wearer. This can enable a . In some embodiments, the cushion element is It can also be viscoelastic, meaning it exhibits both viscous and elastic behavior simultaneously. It is also possible to apply cushioning to a typical load pattern for a particular sport. Allows the element to be fitted. For example, when walking (that is, At low load speeds, a soft cushioning element may be desirable, on the other hand. So, when a sprint starts (i.e., at high-load speed), hard cushions A stimulating element may be desired.
[0060] The first cushioning element and / or the second cushioning element are various It offers certain advantages and / or can perform different tasks.
[0061] Firstly, the first cushioning element and / or the second cushioning element are The first sole segment and / or the second sole segment are positioned to separate from each other. This allows for a reduction in the ratio, and the second moment of area of the outsole can be increased. It is designed to be capable. Therefore, the rigidity of the outsole is the first cushion element. In the area where the ment and / or second cushion element are located It is possible to increase the cushioning element, the first sole segment and / or it is possible to include a material lighter than the second sole segment, so the stiffness is It can be increased with little to no additional weight.
[0062] Secondly, the cushioning element serves to cushion the wearer's foot section. This can be achieved, thereby increasing comfort. In particular, the first cushion The cushion element and the second cushion element have at least one stud and Because they overlap, they transmit uncomfortable pressure from the studs to the wearer's foot. It is possible to avoid this. As a result, the first sole segment and / or the The two sole segments can be made thinner, thus reducing comfort. It is possible to reduce weight without adding any extra material.
[0063] Thirdly, the first cushion element and / or the second cushion element are It can serve as an "integrated starting block" for the wearer. This is possible, and it allows for an improved start in sprints, i.e., a better start. This enables the kick-off. This is due to the first cushioning element and the second cushioning element The rement is positioned with a gap between the first sole segment and the second sole segment. For example, a raised portion can be formed on the surface of the outsole that faces the ground. It has become like Noh, which allows for a better kick.
[0064] Fourth, the first cushioning element and / or the second cushioning element are It is possible to provide a "rocker effect" to the outsole. The device is known for medical purposes, for example, for forefoot for people with diabetes. It is known to reduce pressure on the soles of the feet and also enhances the comfort of leisure shoes. It is also known for this reason. However, the "rocker effect" has improved running characteristics. For outsoles (for example, for the outsoles of football shoes), This could be particularly advantageous. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the first cushion element The first and / or second cushioning element is the first sole segment and the second The sole segments are spaced apart, and in particular, the surface of the outsole facing the ground It is possible to form raised areas on the surface. Therefore, A portion of the running surface of the sole exhibits a rolling effect (i.e., a "rocker effect"). It is possible to create raised areas. This has a positive effect on performance. It is possible to do so. The reason is that the wearer is walking and / or running moderately. During running and / or acceleration, to overcome the pivot point (i.e., the foot lock This is because less force is needed to achieve the desired result. The "rocker effect" generated by the element and / or the second cushion element. The "effect" is likely to be particularly advantageous for the wearer, who is essentially accelerating from an upright position. There is. When accelerating from an upright position, the "rocker effect" is necessary for acceleration. By reducing the force exerted, the wearer's acceleration is increased. This makes it possible to contribute particularly to the aforementioned positive effects on performance.
[0065] The first cushion electric element serves as an "integrated starting block." The ment and / or second cushioning element simultaneously create a "rocker effect". It is understood that it is possible to provide to the tosole. Furthermore, the first cushion The starter element and / or the second cushion element are "integrated starter It acts as a "blocking block" and / or provides a "rocker effect". Since this is possible, their compression characteristics are suitable for high load conditions and / or vertical load conditions. During the event (for example, during a sprint), adverse effects caused by the raised part of the outsole ( In other words, it can be made possible to avoid instability.
[0066] In some embodiments, the first sole segment and / or the second sole segment The duct may contain at least one aperture, and at least one The aperture consists of a first cushion element or a second cushion element and a small amount At least one aperture overlaps with each sole segment. It is possible to play a role in adjusting the rigidity of the ment. Furthermore, at least one A The percher adapts the compression characteristics of the cushion element over which the aperture overlaps. It can also serve the role of the first sole segment and / or the second sole. At least one aperture within a segment is not necessarily the first sole segment. It does not require a closed contour within or within the second sole segment. It is understood that... Rather, as an example, the cutout in the first sole segment is ...by the second sole segment, such that at least one aperture is formed. It is possible to restrict it.
[0067] Nevertheless, at least one aperture is located within the first sole segment. It is possible to include a closed contour in or within the second sole segment. This means that the stability of at least one aperture can be increased. Another aperture can be a cutout opening. Several implementations In terms of form, at least one aperture is integrally formed (e.g., by injection molding). It is possible for the opening to be formed in a specific way. At least one aperture is optional. Specifically, at least one first stud and / or at least one second stud It is provided within the sole segment to which it is attached.
[0068] In some embodiments, at least one aperture is at least one bottom It may include a bottom aperture, and at least one bottom aperture is a normal The first cushion is directed toward the surface upon which the outsole will be placed during use. The design is adapted so that the cushion element and / or the second cushion element are exposed. This is possible. At least one bottom aperture is on the outsole (i.e., The role of locally reducing and / or adapting the stiffness of each sole segment. It is possible to achieve this. This could be advantageous. The reason is the first Thor The overlap of the first segment and the second sole segment is at least one bottom aperture Abrupt changes in stiffness that may be at least partially compensated and / or adapted by the maker. This is because it could lead to [something].
[0069] As used herein, in the context of the relationship between an aperture and an element When referring to a cushion element, the term "exposed" refers to the surface or component. The phrases "exposed toward" or "exposed in the direction of" are used in cushioning The rement is directed toward a specified surface or component, or in a specified direction. This means that it can be transformed into an aperture. In the context of the application form, the cushion element is in relation to the aperture. When referring to the surface or component, it is "exposed toward" or "facing" The phrase "exposed toward" also means that from a specified surface or component, Alternatively, when viewed in a specific direction, the cushioning element is visible through the aperture. It means that it can be seen.
[0070] In some embodiments, at least one aperture is at least one s It may include an id aperture, and at least one side aperture is the One cushioning element and / or a second cushioning element of the outsole It is adapted to be exposed either outward or inward on the outsole. Another side aperture is the pressure of the cushion element where the apertures overlap. This makes it possible to adapt the shrinkage ratio. In particular, at least one side aperture This makes it possible to adjust the vertical compression ratio of each cushion element. This is possible. This is because the vertical compression of each cushion element corresponds to the so This is because it is not limited, at least locally, by the material of the segment. Rather, Until each side aperture is closed, the actual effect of each cushion element It allows for free compression in a general sense. In this respect, the term "vertical" is not used in the usual sense. This refers to the direction perpendicular to the surface on which the outsole will be placed during use.
[0071] In some embodiments, at least one aperture is a first cushioned Includes at least one first aperture that at least partially overlaps the rement. This is possible. Therefore, the properties provided by the first cushion element are It is possible to customize it on an individual basis.
[0072] In some embodiments, at least one aperture is a second cushioned area Includes at least one second aperture that at least partially overlaps the rement. This is possible. Therefore, the properties provided by the second cushion element are It is possible to customize it on an individual basis.
[0073] at least one first aperture and / or at least one second aperture The aperture can be configured as described above. It will be understood that there is at least one first aperture and / or at least one second aperture as described above It is also understood that it can offer advantages as another type of aperture. This will happen.
[0074] In some embodiments, the first cushion element and / or the second cushion The cushioning element is preferably located in the midfoot when viewed from the heel portion of the outsole. The outsole extends substantially beyond the area configured to support the bone and fat pad. It is not present. In such embodiments, the first cushion element in the area The first and / or second cushioning element increases the second moment of area of the outsole. Since it is possible to prevent this, the increased rigidity of the outsole beyond the aforementioned area This is avoided. Therefore, it is possible to strengthen the flexion of the toe, and it is possible to do so more The flexion of the toes is beneficial and advantageous at the start of a sprint. The term refers to the first cushion element and / or the second cushion element. However, when viewed from the heel portion of the outsole, it supports the metatarsal fat pad. The area of the outsole that is made up exceeds 1 cm (optionally, 0.5 cm or more) It is possible to refer to a mode in which it does not persist.
[0075] In some embodiments, the foremost point of the outsole and the first cushioning Minimum distance between the rement and / or the foremost point of the second cushion element The gap can be between 10% and 35% of the outsole length. In a preferred embodiment, the foremost point of the outsole and the first cushioning element The minimum distance between the frontmost point of the first and / or second cushion element is It is possible for it to be between 15% and 30% of the outsole length. Several suitable In this embodiment, the foremost point of the outsole and the first cushioning element and The minimum distance between the frontmost point of the second cushion element and / or the outward-facing point is It is possible that it is between 20% and 25% of the sole length. The minimum distance is between the foremost point of the outsole and the foremost point of the outsole. The first cushion element and / or the second cushion element closest to it It is possible to measure between the input and the input. Unless otherwise specified, The point at the very front of the outsole and the first cushioning element and / or the second The minimum distance between the foremost point of the cushion element and the distance in Figure 22 is, for example, the distance As indicated by the distance 90, the line tangent to the foremost point of the outsole and The frontmost part of the first cushion element and / or the second cushion element The measurement is taken along a straight line perpendicular to the line tangent to the point.
[0076] In some embodiments, the first sole segment is viewed from the heel portion. In this case, the first sole segment is the first cushioning element and / or the second cushion The cross-section in the area overlapping with the element is reduced (a reduce (d cross-section) is configured to support the metatarsal fat pad in the direction toward the toe. It is possible to extend beyond the area of the outsole that is being treated. Because the comment extends beyond the aforementioned area, a sudden change in rigidity is prevented. It can be stopped, which has a negative impact on comfort and / or functionality. It may have resonance. Instead, a continuous reduction in rigidity is achieved.
[0077] In some embodiments, at least one first stud and at least one The second stud can be attached to the first sole segment. This makes it possible to achieve an improved sprint start. This is because the transmission can be improved. The reason is the first sole segment However, this is because it is located at least within the midfoot portion of the outsole, and here Then, a high force is applied during the start of a sprint. The first sole segment is the midfoot. The area of the outsole that is configured to support the bone fat pad is at least partially When supporting, the transmission of force can be improved in particular. Good can be realized. The reason is that this area has the highest power outside. This is because it is an area where transmission occurs during normal use of the sole. Moreover, the first sole The joint can extend from the heel portion. Therefore, the midfoot portion This avoids instability between the heel and the foot, and it improves sprinting. I will contribute even more to Tart.
[0078] The first cushion element and / or the second cushion element are 1 mm or It is possible to include thicknesses in the range of 10 mm. The first cushion element and / or the second cushion element are 2 mm Thicknesses ranging from 6 mm are possible. These thicknesses are beneficial. This has been proven. The reason is that they use too much material (i.e., weight) Without adding anything to the outsole, it significantly improves cushioning and / or stiffness. This is because it increases the thickness of the first cushion element and / Alternatively, a second cushioning element provides an "integrated starting boost" for the wearer. It allows the wearer to fulfill the role of a "rock," and it enables the wearer to be grounded. Without causing instability resulting from being lifted too far away from the spring, This allows for an improved start, meaning a better kick-off. Furthermore, these thicknesses do not interfere with the feel of the ball, and contribute to the aforementioned "rocker effect." It has been proven that it is sufficient to provide.
[0079] In some embodiments, the first cushion element is made of two first studs It is possible for the second cushion element to overlap with the second It is possible to overlap with 2 studs. In some preferred embodiments, the first stud The cushion element overlaps precisely with the two first studs, and / or, The second cushion element overlaps precisely with the two second studs. In a preferred embodiment, at least one bottom aperture as described above The studs are at least partially between the two first studs or between the two second studs. It extends in a specific direction. This arrangement of at least one bottom aperture is likely to be advantageous. There is a reason for this: two studs per cushion element provide sufficient static friction. The cushioning element provides a comfortable fit that allows for an improved start to sprints. It can serve as an integrated starting block for users. This is because it has been proven that this is the case.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first cushioning element is located on the inside of the outsole. It can be placed on top of the outsole, and the second cushioning element is the outsole. It can be placed on top of the outer part, and the first cushion element and the second The minimum distance between the cushion element and the cushion element is in the range of 3mm to 50mm (including sub-ranges). It is located in (m). For example, in some embodiments, the first cushion element and the The minimum distance between the two cushion elements is in the range of 3mm to 45mm, from 3mm to 40mm range, 3mm to 30mm range, 3mm to 25mm range, 3mm to 1 5mm range, 5mm to 50mm range, 10mm to 50mm range, 15mm to 50mm range, 25mm to 50mm range, 30mm to 50mm range, or It is possible to be in the range of 40 mm to 50 mm. In some preferred embodiments, Therefore, the minimum distance between the first cushion element and the second cushion element is 5 It is in the range of mm to 40 mm. In some preferred embodiments, the first cushion The minimum distance between the first cushion element and the second cushion element is 10 mm to 30 mm. It is within the range of m. In some preferred embodiments, the first cushion element The minimum distance between the first and second cushion element is within the range of 15mm to 25mm. Yes. The arrangement of the first cushion element and the second cushion element The outer and inner sides of the wearer's foot can be supported individually, and it is safe. It is possible to increase the qualitative aspect. Furthermore, the first cushion element and the second cushion The deformation of one of the cushion elements is due to the minimum distance between it and the cushion element. This makes it possible to avoid affecting the other cushioning element. This is especially true during high-speed running (for example, sprinting), due to the outsole It has been found that the stability provided is further increased.
[0081] As used above, the term "minimum distance" is the minimum distance between two cushion elements when measured from the innermost point of each of the inner edges of the cushion element (e.g., from the innermost point of the outer edge of the inner cushion element to the innermost point of the inner edge of the outer cushion element). From each of the innermost points of the inner edges of the cushion element (e.g., from the innermost point of the outer edge of the inner cushion element to the innermost point of the inner edge of the outer cushion element). From the innermost point of the outer edge of the inner cushion element to the innermost point of the inner edge of the outer cushion element). Is the minimum distance between two cushion elements when measured.
[0082] In some embodiments, the first cushion element and / or the second cushion element can be at least partially disposed within the midfoot portion, and preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the midfoot portion, and more preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the toe portion. This configuration allows a raised portion to be formed on the surface facing the ground of the outsole, for example, in the midfoot portion, which enables a better kick-off. Thus, this raised portion can serve as an "integrated starting block" for the wearer. Therefore, the outsole can enable an improved start for sprinting. Can be at least partially disposed within the midfoot portion, and preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the midfoot portion, and more preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the toe portion. In the midfoot portion, and preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the midfoot portion, and more preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the toe portion. In the midfoot portion, and more preferably, the first sole segment and the second sole segment overlap in the toe portion. In the toe portion. This configuration allows a raised portion to be formed on the surface facing the ground of the outsole, for example, in the midfoot portion, which enables a better kick-off. In the midfoot portion, for example, on the surface facing the ground of the outsole, which enables a better kick-off. Which enables a better kick-off. Thus, this raised portion can serve as an "integrated starting block" for the wearer. Can serve as an "integrated starting block" for the wearer. Therefore, the outsole can enable an improved start for sprinting. Can be enabled.

In the previously depicted embodiment, the fore These two studs in the foot area are provided on the first sole segment 2 Reference numerals 40 and 45 are provided.
[0146] Figures 10 and 11 show a third exemplary outsole 1 according to several embodiments. Another example shoe 50 is shown, including a third example outsole 1 above. It is basically constructed like the example outsole described. Therefore, as already explained above, I will refrain from explaining all the features again. However, as shown in Figure 10... The outsole 1 consists of a first sole segment 2 and a second sole segment 3. It differs from previous outsoles in that it only overlaps in small areas. The first cushion element 4 and the second cushion element 5 are mainly... It is positioned directly between the shoe upper 55 and the first sole segment 2. Furthermore, the first cushion element 4 overlaps with only one first stud 6a. The second cushion element 5 overlaps with only one second stud 7a.
[0147] Figures 12 and 13 show a fourth exemplary outsole 1 according to several embodiments. The fourth exemplary outsole 1 is the exemplary outsole described above.
