Abstract
A footwear for protecting the foot against an impact with an external body, comprising a protective component (20) adapted to deforming under pressure from the foot and/or the external body in case of impact. The protection component is made in a way to react under said pressure with a permanent and irreversible structural alteration, thus absorbing and simultaneously dispersing the received energy during the impact.
Claims13
Footwear (10, 210) for protecting the foot against an impact with an external body, comprising a protective component (20, 120, 220) adapted to deform itself under pressure from the foot and/or external body during an impact, characterized in that the protective component (20, 120, 220) is arranged so as to react under said pressure with a permanent and irreversible structural alteration, thus absorbing and simultaneously dissipating the received energy during the impact.
Footwear (10, 210) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the protective component (20, 120, 220) is made using a material able to permanently bend under said pressure.
Footwear (10, 210) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the protective component (20, 120, 220) is made of fragile material capable of irreversibly breaking under said pressure.
Footwear (10, 210) according to any of the previous claims, wherein the protective component consists of an insert (20, 120, 220) which can be removably coupled with the footwear.
Protective component for footwear as claimed in the previous claims.
