Abstract
Outer sole assembly of a shoe having a rigid blade, having a modulus of elasticity greater than 750 MPa, inserted between an upper cushioning layer and a lower cushioning layer. The external sole assembly includes a rigid support, having a modulus of elasticity greater than 100 MPa, including: a lower bridge extending substantially over the entire width of the upper cushioning layer in the area of at least one transverse segment of a central zone; and a lateral wing covering a portion of the lateral surface of the upper cushioning layer, the cover portion covering at least one strip having a width of at least ten millimeters, the strip extending lengthwise towards the rear, from the lower bridge.
Claims23
Outer sole assembly of a shoe comprising:
- an upper cushioning layer comprising an interface surface along a periphery of the upper cushioning layer, the interface surface configured to interface with an upper of the shoe, the upper cushioning layer extending over a length of the outer sole assembly,
- a lower cushioning layer made of cellular foam,
- a one-piece rigid blade, having a modulus of elasticity greater than 750 MPa, inserted between the upper cushioning layer and the lower cushioning layer, the rigid blade covering at least 50% of the surface projected to the ground of the front half of the outer sole assembly, and
- a rigid support having a modulus of elasticity greater than 100 MPa, comprising:
- a lower bridge covering a portion of the lower surface of the upper cushioning layer, the lower bridge extending substantially over the entire width of the upper cushioning layer in the area of at least one transverse segment of a central zone located between 30% and 50% of the length of the upper, from the rear end of the interface surface;
- and
- a lateral wing covering a portion of the lateral surface of the upper cushioning layer, the covering portion covering at least a strip having a width (HL) of at least ten millimeters, the strip extending lengthwise towards the rear, from the lower bridge to at least one frontal plane (PL) of the outer sole assembly spaced away from the rear end of the interface surface by 20% of the length (L2) of the upper.
