Abstract
A deployable shoe sole transitioning between a compacted state and a deployed state, incorporating a deployable structure with a first and second structural element hingedly connected to enable movement in a deployment direction. The first and second structural elements include congruent abutment surfaces that abut in the deployed state to limit further movement, ensuring stability under load. In the compacted state, the abutment surfaces form an angle to reduce the sole's volume.

-21. (canceled)
A deployable shoe sole assembly configured to undergo deployment from a compacted state to a deployed state, the assembly comprising:
- a sole ceiling;
- a sole floor;
- a sole space defined between the sole ceiling and the sole floor, the sole floor being movable with respect to the sole ceiling at least during deployment to expand and contract the sole space;
- and
- a plurality of spacer element arrangable upright in the sole space at least when the sole space is expanded, each spacer element having corresponding engagement features through which it is configured to be secured at an angle with a mating spacer element so as to support the sole ceiling above the sole floor at a predetermined distance at a deployed state of the sole assembly.
