Abstract
A shoe made of flexible material having an outer sole. The outsole having an inner surface, an underside, a longitudinal axis, a heel zone, a toe zone, a ball between the toe and heel zones, and an edge surrounding the sole surface. The inner surface includes inner projecting elements wherein inner projecting elements form a substantially rectangular grid. The underside includes outer projecting elements wherein the outer projecting elements are interrupted webs that extend substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis, at least one longitudinal rib on the underside parallel to the edge on the sole underside, and a sickle-shaped reinforcement zone on the inner surface filling a portion of the rectangular grid between the ball of the foot zone and the heel zone.
Claims23
An outsole for a shoe made of a flexible material, the outsole comprising:
- a sole surface having an inner surface, an underside opposing the inner surface, a longitudinal axis, a heel zone at one end of the longitudinal axis, a toe zone at another end of the longitudinal axis, a ball of the foot zone between the toe and heel zones, and an edge surrounding the sole surface;
- inner projecting elements on the inner surface wherein the inner projecting elements form a substantially rectangular grid;
- outer projecting elements on the underside, wherein the outer projecting elements are interrupted webs that extend substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis;
- at least one longitudinal rib on the underside wherein the longitudinal rib is parallel to the edge on the sole underside and has a distance from the edge less than half the outsole width in the heel zone;
- and
- a sickle-shaped reinforcement zone on the inner surface filling a portion of the rectangular grid between the ball of the foot zone and the heel zone and extending from the edge in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the sole.
An outsole for a shoe made of a flexible material wherein the shoe having an upper which is connected to an insole made of natural material and is fixed to the outsole, the upper having an outwardly projecting edge connected to the insole at an edge thereof, the outsole comprising:
- a sole surface having an inner surface, an underside opposing the inner surface, a longitudinal axis, a heel zone at one end of the longitudinal axis, a toe zone at another end of the longitudinal axis, a ball of the foot zone between the toe and heel zones, and an edge surrounding the sole surface;
- inner projecting elements on the inner surface wherein the inner projecting elements form a substantially rectangular grid;
- outer projecting elements on the underside, wherein the outer projecting elements are interrupted webs that extend substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis;
- at least one longitudinal rib on the underside wherein the longitudinal rib is parallel to the edge on the sole underside and has a distance from the edge less than half the sole width in the heel zone;
- a sickle-shaped reinforcement zone on the inner surface filling a portion of the rectangular grid between the ball of the foot zone and the heel zone and extending from the edge in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the sole;
- and
- a lateral bead formed on an outer wall of the outsole, wherein the lateral bead forms a fillet and wherein the projecting edge of the upper fits is disposed in the fillet.
