Definitions

  • a footwear component such as a sole, insole or insert, a method for designing and/or manufacturing a footwear component and a shoe.
  • the invention relates to a footwear component, such as an insole or insert.
  • the invention further relates to a method for designing and/or manufacturing a footwear component, and to use of a footwear component.
  • the invention also relates to a shoe. From sports research it is known, that shoes are able to reduce the load exerted on a human foot by providing cushion or padding between the foot and the ground. Shock absorbing materials deform upon the collision between the foot and the ground and absorb a part of the impact on the foot during running.
  • a disadvantage of the existing shoe sole materials is that only the load due to collision during heel strike is reduced.
  • the dynamic load in mainly exerted on the heel area of the foot.
  • the forefoot experiences a static or semi- static load. Because the weight-bearing area during push-off is fairly small compared to the force that is exerted on the forefoot, the respective pressures or stress during push-off are relatively high.
  • Most common sports shoes have a sole which is made of materials with homogenous characteristics over the whole sole, e.g. made of foamed plastics. Some shoes have differences in construction between the forefoot and the heel part, e.g.: a reduced thickness of the cushioning material at the forefoot part or an air cushion at lower pressure compared to the pressure of the cushion in the heel part.
  • currently used materials only accommodate for dynamic load, which is appropriate for the heel part of the shoe, but not for the forefoot, because during push-off there is no noticeable dynamic force due to collision.
  • currently used shoe concepts do not accommodate sufficiently for the variety of loads during roll-off, for the different parts of the foot.
  • insoles are made with depressions and elevations.
  • the depressions of the insole can accommodate protrusions (off- loading) of the foot, while the elevations can exert a pressure on adjacent areas
  • a commonly used orthopaedic treatment concept to reduce peak pressures is to increase the contact area between the foot and the insole.
  • These insoles are appropriate for (semi-) rigid constructions, such as a total contact plaster cast or an inflexible orthopaedic shoes where the foot is immobilized.
  • this concept is not effective since the contact area varies during roll-off and does not correspond to the change in force: the contact area decreases rapidly already after approximately 70% of the roll-off cycle, whereas the peak pressure reaches a maximum at about 80% of the roll-off.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a footwear component, which enables an improved reduction of pressure on the foot. Therefore, according to a first aspect of the invention, a footwear component according to claim 1 is provided.
  • Such a footwear component enables an improved reduction of a semi-static plantar load because a local exerting force on a particular part of the foot is transferred and dissipated to an other, e.g. larger, part of the foot. Also the transfer of load will accommodate to the rate of impact. Accordingly, locally high loads on the plantar area are prevented and the reduction of the pressure is improved.
  • a further advantage that may be obtained is that the footwear element will adapt to a specific individual, because the pressure is transferred depending on the distribution of the pressure. Accordingly, the need to provide a custom-made footwear element, e.g. an insert, is obviated. Further, as at least a part of the force exerted on the first cell is transferred to the second cell by the coupling between the plurality of cells, the grid with the plurality of cells is less susceptible to strain and wear. Thus, reliability and durability of the footwear component may be increased. According to a second aspect of the invention, a method for designing a footwear component according to claim 23 is provided. Such a method enables to design a footwear component, which exhibits an improved reduction of pressure on the foot.
  • a method for manufacturing a footwear component according to claim 24 is provided. Such a method enables to manufacture a footwear component, which exhibits an improved reduction of pressure on the foot.
  • a use according to claim 25 is provided.
  • Such a footwear use allows a more effective alleviation of food dysfunctions, because the footwear component will exhibit an improved reduction of pressure on the foot.
  • a shoe according to claim 26 is provided.
  • Such a shoe has an improved comfort, because the footwear component exhibits an improved reduction of pressure on the foot.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a perspective, partial sectional view of a footwear component according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2-3 schematically show a detailed sectional side view of a part of the example of FIG. 1, in different stages of the functional mechanism according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows a perspective view of another footwear component according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of an embodiment of a shoe in which a footwear component according to the invention is used.
  • the example of a footwear component shown in FIG. 1 is a separate padding 1 which can be inserted in a shoe to provide direct support to the sole of the foot, Le.: the foot sole is in direct contact with the footwear component.
  • the component is positioned in the lower part A of the inside space of the shoe 10 and rests upon the outsole 11 of the shoe.
  • the sole 1 is therefore supported by the bottom of the inside of a shoe, more in particular by the sole 11 of the shoe 10, but not attached to the bottom portion.
  • a sole generally refers to the entire bottom of a shoe, which acts to protect the foot against, for example, sharp objects, as well as to support the foot.

  • An insole generally refers to a separate padding that can be inserted after the shoe is manufactured, and supports substantially the whole foot.
  • the insole may for example be placed in a shoe, to adapt the sole of to the individual shape of an individual, for example to alleviate or correct a foot dysfunction of the concerned individual.

  • the footwear component 1 is an insole.
  • the footwear component may alternatively be an insert.
  • the footwear component may also be implemented as a shoe sole or one or more layers of a sole, for example an inner layer of a sole, i.e. a cushioning or padding attached to the outer sole of the shoe during manufacturing of the shoe.
