摘要:
A bowling shoe which may have removably attachable forefoot/sole slide pads, and removably attachable heel brake pads. The bowling shoe may also have an outsole made of TPU, as well as lip characteristics to prevent forefoot slide pad wear, and rear outsole characteristics to facilitate removal of the heel brake pad.

A temporary, disposable shoe cover for bowling includes an upper, a sole having a first sole portion and a second sole portion, and a retainer. The upper is made of a fabric. A bottom opening of the upper is attached to a perimeter of the sole. A top opening of the upper is adapted to receive the user's shoe and/or foot. The retainer is attached to (i.e., at or near) the top opening of the upper and is operable to retain the shoe cover on the user's shoe and/or foot. The first sole portion is on an anterior portion of the sole and made of a low friction fabric (e.g., felt, cotton, or a nonwoven fabric). The second sole portion is on a posterior portion of the sole and made of a high friction fabric (e.g., rubber, rubber impregnated cotton, or flannel backed cotton with nonskid vinyl or rubber dots).

A flexible footwear covering that fits on a shoe, which has a lower coefficient of friction than the bottom of a shoe allowing for ease of motion on carpeted or other surfaces where the grip of the shoes worn inhibit movement. The covering is in the general shape of a sock with a non retractable or retractable ring, which lies within the arch of the bottom of the shoe giving the option to leave fully covered for maximum ease of movement or expose the heel for more traction when needed. In addition, the flexible footwear covering can be used as a fitness tool with or without the optional design of reinforced panels that are positioned at the toe, ball and/or heel on the outside of the shoe. With the reinforced panels, a variety of exercises can be done to strengthen various muscles of the upper and lower body in a supine or prone position.

A new shoe sole cover accessory for providing a way to reduce friction between feet and carpeted or rubber type surfaces for dance fitness. The inventive device includes a piece of smooth fabric material such as 210 denier coated nylon oxford fabric and two fastening bands such as elastic, affixed parallel to one another. One fastening band attaches to two corners of the fabric while the other fastening band attaches to the other two corners of the fabric, thus creating an attachable shoe sole cover accessory for friction reduction on carpet for dance fitness. The shoe sole cover accessory is then attached to the shoes by sliding the fastening bands over the top surface of the shoe, with the fabric sliding over the bottom surface of the shoe. When attached securely in this manner, the shoe sole cover accessory reduces friction between carpet or rubber type surface and feet.

An article of footwear, such as a sports shoe particularly for the practice of a racquet sport, the shoe including an outer sole assembly and an upper. A contact surface of the sole assembly has a first support portion including a first subdivision which borders a front end, from the lateral side to the medial side, as well as a second subdivision which extends from the first subdivision towards the rear end, and from the lateral side towards a medial side. The contact surface has a second support portion which extends from the first subdivision of the first portion towards the rear end, and from the second subdivision of the first portion towards the medial side. The average coefficient of friction of the first support portion is greater than the average coefficient of friction of the second support portion.

A grind rail apparatus coupleable to an underside of a footwear for grinding is provided. The grind rail apparatus includes a body having an upper side and a lower side, the upper side of the body coupled to the underside of the footwear. The grind rail apparatus also includes a plurality of rails extending from the lower side of the body.
摘要:
Grind shoe device of the present invention includes a shoe sole having downwardly facing heel and forefoot tread surfaces and a downwardly opening recess formed with longitudinal and transverse recess sections. A grind plate device is formed with transverse and longitudinal grind plate sections for receipt in the respective transverse and longitudinal recess sections, at least one of such grind plate sections being formed with a downwardly facing trough for grinding along a rail, curb or the like. The longitudinal grind plate section is flexible and in some embodiments is foiled of rigid sections of discrete rigid grind plate portions disposed to flex relative to one another to facilitate flexing of the sole. The method of the present invention involves the manufacturing of the sole with such downwardly facing recess and fabricating the grind plate device to be complementally received in its top side in such recesses. The grind plate is fastened to the sole by bonding, molding or, in some instances, by mechanical fasteners.

A bowling sandal does not completely encase a bowler's foot, allowing their feet to breathe while bowling. The bowling sandal can be made from a bowling shoe sole along with binding straps to secure the shoe onto the foot. The bowling sandal can also include breather holes throughout the shoe to aid in air flow and circulation. The bowling sandal can also include an enclosure on the heel to make it better by providing more support for the heel.
摘要:
Footwear has a sole for supporting a foot of a wearer, a first pair of wheels projecting from opposite sides of the sole adjacent the heel, and a second pair of wheels spaced in front of the first pair and projecting from opposite sides of the sole adjacent the arch portion of the sole. The footwear is convertible from a wheeled configuration to a non-wheeled configuration by opening a cover plate normally covering a downwardly facing, recessed region of the heel, removing the wheel axles from wheel axle mounting grooves in the recessed region, then re-closing the cover plate over the heel region.

Shoes with various configurations of rollers secured to one region of their soles for rolling, while leaving another sole region exposed for walking. The rollers are mounted to rotate about an axle defining a primary axis of rotation extending at an angle of between about zero and 45 degrees to the walking direction, as viewed from above the shoe, for rolling sideways along a support surface. This provides a combined running-rolling method of locomotion, by running on the exposed sole surfaces, and then jumping into a nullsurfingnull stance for rolling. In some cases, the rollers are mounted on steerable truck assemblies. One particularly small truck assembly includes wedge-shaped bushings for steering compliance.
