摘要:
The present invention relates to an adjustable shoe (1) which is upright on an underlying surface, comprising at least one shoe sole and at least one heel (3), wherein the shoe sole is divided into at least two sole parts (4) which are arranged at least indirectly one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the shoe sole, namely a toe part (6) and a heel part (7), wherein adjacent sole parts (4) are in each case connected to each other by means of at least one articulated device (8), wherein the sole parts (4) are rotatable relative to one another by means of the articulated device (8) and wherein at least the heel part (7) and at least one other sole part (4), which is adjacent to the heel part (7), are interconnectable in a torque-proof manner in at least one locking position in an upright state of the shoe (1), the heel (3) being movable at least between an active position and a passive position relative to the shoe sole, whereby the shoe (1) is adjustable at least between an upright state and a flat state. According to the invention, the shoe sole comprises a heel compartment (9), within which the heel (3) can be stored in its passive position, wherein in the active position of the heel (3), in which the heel (3) is arranged in a force-transmitting manner at least at the heel part (7) and is upright with one heel surface (10) on the underlying surface, a heel surface (11), which is arranged at an underside of the heel part (7) facing the underlying surface, is spaced apart from the underlying surface. In order to provide an alternative adjustable shoe which is "stable" both in the upright state and the flat state, it is proposed according to the invention that the heel surface (11) is in direct contact with the underlying surface when the heel (3) is in the passive position.

The invention relates to a shoe, particularly a sports shoe, comprising an upper part (1) and a sole (2), wherein at least one actuator (3) is disposed in the sole (2), by means of which an area of the contact surface (4) for the foot of the wearer of the shoe can be affected with regard to the geometry of the contact surface (4) at least in a defined length range (B L ) and/or width range (B B ) of the sole (2) relative to the position of the contact surface (5) of the sole (2) on the ground. In order to make the required actuating motion of the actuator using little energy, the invention proposes that the actuator (3) comprises a support element (6) supporting the foot of the wearer and is pivotally disposed relative to a base part (7), wherein at least one hydraulic chamber (8, 9) having variable volume is disposed on each side of the axis (A) between the support element (6) and the base part (7) and is completely filled with a substantially incompressible medium, wherein the at least two hydraulic chambers (8, 9) are fluidically connected to each other by means of a line (10) in which a switchable valve (11) is disposed.

A shoe (10) which has a sole (12) with a toe portion (14), a heel portion (16) and an arch portion (18) located between them. A two part heel (20) which has a low heel block (22) attached to the heel portion of the sole and includes a slot (42) formed therein. A high heel extension piece (24) is attached to the low heel block through a support beam (38) having a substantially rectangular cross-section. The support beam (38) is capable of limited axial and pivotal movement within slot. The dimensions of the support beam (38) and the slot (42) prevent rotational movement of the high heel extension piece (24) about its central axis. The high heel extension piece (24) can be pivoted relative to the sole (12) between a first position wherein it underlies and is in alignment with the low heel block (22) and a second position wherein it lies substantially beneath the arch portion (18) of said sole. The bottom of the low heel block has a low heel lift (28) that extends downwardly and engages the ground when the high heel extension piece (24) is stowed. This low heel lift (28) is completely enclosed and hidden by a beveled edge (32) at the top of the high heel extension piece (24) when it is in its vertical position high heel. A detent in the form of a spring biased ball (74) incorporated within a rotatable slotted pivot (52) and a depression (78) in the support beam (38) maintain the high heel extension piece (24) in the desired position.

A shoe includes a heel support for receiving a rotatable and replaceable rear sole to provide longer wear. The shoe may also include a graphite insert supported by the heel support between the heel and the rear sole to reduce midsole compression and provide additional spring. The replaceable rear sole and the graphite insert allow the shoe to be adapted to different desired performance characteristics depending upon the intended activity and terrain or playing surface.

A shoe assembly includes a front sole section, a rear sole section, a heel, and a hinge. The front sole section has a front sole section rear edge. The rear sole section includes a rear sole section front edge, a shank, and a release button. The heel may be removably attached to the shank and may be released from a locked position by the release button. The hinge connects the front sole section and the rear sole section. The hinge is perpendicular to a rear sole section axis.

Impact-attenuating elements (100) for footwear or the like may include (a) a first impact-attenuating material (102) (e.g., foam) in a first region; and (b) a second impact-attenuating material in a second region (e.g. foam of a higher density). At least one characteristic of the impact-attenuating characteristics (e.g. support) provided by the impact-attenuating element (100) may be controlled by changing a position or orientation of at least a portion of the impact-attenuating element (100) in the footwear. For example, the “firmness” of the support provided by the impact-attenuating element may be changed by rotating or flipping the impact-attenuating element so that foam of a different density is provided at different areas of the foot.
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.
