摘要:
The invention relates to a sole for footwear having a structure for minimising injury to the wearer from twisting or turning movements which may occur during sporting activities, and/or for enhancing performance by assisting rotational movement of the foot. A first invention is a shoe sole (2) comprising a turntable (6) within the sole and connected thereto by a resilient web (30) which provides a seal between the periphery of the turntable and sole. The web is resiliently deformable in response to rotation of the turntable in either direction from a rest position to apply resilient bias to restore the turntable towards its rest position. There may be additional biaising means. There are ten further disclosures of the turntable involving: using glue to fix the turntable and to provide the seal and resilient bias; a separate turntable habing a wiper seal with the sole and addtional biasing means; means for limiting the extent of the rotational movement; coil and leaf springs and interengaging portions of the sole and turntable to provide the resilient bias; a circular race of ball bearings to support the turntable; multiple turntables; means for fixing cleats or studs to the turntable. A second invention is a sole having annular rows of deformable fins which permit limited rotation of the sole.

An article of footwear having a sole (10) with a recess (12) therein, the recess having a central hub (14), an arcuate lug (16) and two locating lugs (18); a spring module (22) located in the recess (12) and having a large aperture (30) through which passes the hub (14); and a turntable located in the recess (12) having an arcuate recess (40) in which the arcuate lug (16) locates, a central opening (42) in which the central hub (14) locates, and an enlarged recess (44) in which the spring module (22) locates.
摘要:
Articles of footwear can help control foot positioning during a step cycle, e.g., to help reduce or eliminate misorientation of the foot, and the fatigue and/or strain that may result from such misorientation. Articles of footwear (100) may include: (a) an upper member (104); and (b) a sole structure (106) engaged with the upper member. The sole structure may include: (i) a first impact-attenuating member (102a) located in a heel portion of the foot-supporting member, and (ii) a second, separate impact-attenuating member (102b) located at a rear, lateral heel portion. The second impact-attenuating member may be arranged at a different orientation with respect to the longitudinal direction as compared to the first orientation. A method of producing an article of footwear is also described.

The invention pertains to a sub-assembly (1) for incorporation into a shoe, in particular a ladies shoe, comprising a base (2, 8) having at least an arch portion and a heel portion, and a heel (9), which is adjustable between a first, relatively low position and a second, relatively high position. The heel (9) is at least partially detachable from the base (2, 8) and, once at least partially detached, is freely rotatable or rotatable about a pivot (25) that is movable with respect to the base (2, 8).
