An integral system for the manufacture of shoes, comprising:
- a) a shoemaker's last conformed anatomically;
- b) a padded sole member having ventilation means;
- c) an insole assembly for a shoe, which is disposed below said padded sole member with which it is fixed by insertion, said sole assembly comprising:
- a baricentric oversole with hollow sections predefined in the plantar and tarsal regions, in which hollow sections some lower portions, of complementary design, of said padded sole member are inserted;
- an intersole placed below said baricentric oversole having flexure lines below the area where the foot bends to make a step;
- an interior band metatarsal disposed below said intersole to provide rigidity and structure to the metatarsal arch and bridge of the wearer;
- and a reinforcing web under the band to reinforce the elements comprising said sole assembly;
- d) an antiskid damping sole disposed below said sole assembly, said damping sole comprising a sole element with a hollow section, an elastometric element with multiple holes, and a piece having an antiskid lower surface and an upper surface on which a plurality of elements upwardly extend to engage with said holes in the elastomeric element;
