Abstract
Insole (34) for footwear, the insole (34) comprising an anterior arch support (48); and an anterior reinforcing bridge (54) having a raised section (56) for providing resistance against compression of the anterior arch support (48).
Claims16
An insole for footwear, the insole comprising:
- an anterior arch support comprising a shock absorbing material or a damping material;
- an anterior reinforcing bridge having a raised section for providing resistance against compression of the anterior arch support, wherein the raised section is raised vertically upwardly with respect to a general horizontal plane of the insole toward the anterior arch support and comprises a concave surface as seen in an anterior direction of the insole, the concave surface facing away from the anterior arch support,
- wherein:
- the raised section as viewed in a vertical direction normal to the general horizontal plane is shaped as an elongated beam in a lateral direction of the insole;
- and
- the anterior reinforcing bridge is positioned at a distance from a front tip of the insole that is 30% to 50% of a longitudinal length of the insole;
- a medial arch support;
- a lateral arch support;
- two transverse reinforcing bridges, each having two raised sections for providing resistance against compression of the medial arch support and the lateral arch support, respectively, and each transverse reinforcing bridge shaped as an elongated beam in a lateral direction of the insole as viewed in a vertical direction normal to the general horizontal plane;
- and
- two oblique reinforcing bridges inclined with respect to an anterior direction of the insole, each oblique reinforcing bridge comprising one or two raised sections for providing resistance against compression of one or both of the medial arch support and/or the lateral arch support, and each oblique reinforcing bridge shaped as an elongated beam as viewed in a vertical direction normal to the general horizontal plane.

An insole for footwear, the insole comprising:
- an anterior arch support comprising a shock absorbing material or a damping material;
- a bridge layer comprising an anterior reinforcing bridge having a raised section raised toward the anterior arch support for providing resistance against compression of the anterior arch support, the raised section having a concave surface facing away from the anterior arch support as viewed in an anterior direction of the insole and a convex surface opposed the concave surface and facing the anterior arch support as viewed in the anterior direction of the insole,
- wherein:
- the raised section as viewed in a vertical direction normal to the general horizontal plane is shaped as an elongated beam in a lateral direction of the insole;
- and
- the anterior reinforcing bridge is positioned at a distance from a front tip of the insole that is 30% to 50% of a longitudinal length of the insole,
