摘要:
A method for making articles of footwear is provided. The method comprises: placing a base layer and at least one trim layer on a last member, wherein the last member has an approximate geometry of a foot and has a hollow interior; pulling a pressing layer against the base layer, the at least one trim layer, and the last member by creating a vacuum between the pressing layer and the last member; flowing hot air into the hollow interior while the pressing layer is pulled against the base layer; and removing the base layer and the at least one trim layer from the last member after the at least one trim layer has fused to the base layer.

摘要:
A bonded mesh composite panel of an upper includes a substrate layer formed from a substrate material, a mesh material layer and one or more skin material layers. The mesh composite can be fabricated by first arranging panels of substrate, mesh and skin layer material into an assembly corresponding to the locations of those panels in a completed upper. The assembly may include separate layers of hot melt bonding material interposed between the substrate, mesh and skin layers. The assembly is pressed at an elevated temperature so as to melt the bonding material and the skin layers and bond the elements together. Before the pressed assembly completely cools, it is then pressed a second time in an unheated press. A heat-conductive compressible pad can be used in the pressing process to create a surface effect in the skin layers that reveals a patterns of an underlying mesh layer.
