Shoe, shoe production systems and method for producing a shoe

Abstract

A shoe, a shoe production system and a method for producing a shoe including the steps: a. providing an upper assembly (2), wherein the upper assembly includes an upper (3) being mounted on a carrier (4), wherein the upper (3) includes a bottom section (5) being made from a thermoplastic polymer upper material; b. providing a sole molding unit (6), wherein the sole molding unit defines a cavity; c. inserting the upper assembly (2) at least partially into the cavity; introducing a midsole polymer composition comprising a molten thermoplastic polymer midsole material which has a melting temperature being equal or higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic polymer upper material into the cavity and foaming the molten thermoplastic polymer midsole material inside the cavity to provide a foamed midsole and to establish a material-bonded connection between the upper (3) and the foamed midsole (8).
