Definitions
- This invention relates generally to footwear representing an improvement on the design described in my U.S. Patent No. 4,272,899 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the footwear of the present invention comprises a sole of composite construction, that is, the sole is formed of a first material positioned for attenuating the impact forces applied to the foot and other skeletal structures during standing, walking and running, and a second harder material for firmly supporting the foot.
- the lateral (outside) portion of the heel is generally the first part of the foot to strike the ground, with the foot then pivoting on the heel to bring the lateral part of the forefoot into contact with the ground.
- the foot is supinated (inclined upwardly from the lateral to the medial side of the foot) , but rapidly pronates to a neutral position in which the bottom of the heel and the metatarsal heads of the forefoot are in contact with the ground, and in which the central vertical plane of the heel is ideally generally perpendicular to the ground.
- various muscles and tendons contract to stabilize the foot in preparation for movement from the neutral position back to a supinated position prior to the propulsive phase of the gait cycle.
- the propulsive phase is sometimes referred to as toe-off or push-off.
- the arch (i.e., the bone structural alignment) of the foot should be firmly supported when the foot is in the neutral position in order to prevent the ligaments, muscles and tendons from becoming over stressed.
- the second and third metatarsals be firmly supported, and that the first metatarsal head plantarflex (move downward) relative the second and third metatarsal heads .
- the toes also should be firmly supported during push-off so that they remain straight and thus stronger due to the pillar effect of the phalanges.
- footwear which is tailored to the biomechanical operation of a wearer's foot; the provision of optimizing footwear to one or more of the various needs of a particular wearer and/or task by providing an appropriate amount of support and cushioning applied to regions of the particular wearer's foot; and the provision of the present invention which may be incorporated in the soles of footwear such as shoes, boots and sandals, or in insoles for placement inside shoes and the like.
- improved footwear of this invention comprises a sole formed in part from a first resilient material for attenuating the shock of impact to the wearer during running or walking, and in part from a second harder material for providing firm support for the foot.
- the sole has a heel section for supporting a heel of the foot, the heel section having medial and lateral regions.
- the sole also has an arch section forward of the heel section for supporting an arch of the foot.
- the arch section has medial and lateral regions .
- a forefoot section is located forward of the arch section for supporting a ball of the foot including first, second, third, fourth and fifth metatarsal heads and associated metatarsal necks, proximal phalanges and metatarsal phalangeal joints.
- the forefoot section has a first region for supporting the first, second, third, fourth and fifth metatarsal heads, associated phalanges and metatarsal phalangeal joints, and the metatarsal necks associated with the fourth and fifth metatarsal heads, and a second region for supporting the metatarsal necks associated with the second and third metatarsal heads .
- the sole is formed so that the first resilient material is located in the lateral region of the heel section, the lateral region of the arch section, and the first region of the forefoot section.
- the second harder material is located in the medial region of the arch section and the second region of the forefoot section.
- Fig. 1 is a top view of a sole of the present invention for the right foot
- Fig. 2 is an underside view of the sole of Fig. 1 showing its composite construction
- Fig. 3 is a right side (lateral) elevation of a shoe having a sole which incorporates the present invention
- Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken in the plane of line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
- Fig. 5 is a cross-section taken in the plane of line 5-5 of Fig. 3; and Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- footwear of the present invention comprising a sole is designated in its entirety by the reference numeral 10.
- the sole 10 is shown as having four sections, a heel section 12, an arch section 14, a forefoot section 16, and a toe section 18, corresponding to parts of a wearer's foot.
- the heel section 12 underlies the heel of the wearer's foot and includes medial and lateral regions designated 20, 22, respectively, corresponding to the inner and outer sides of the foot, respectively.
- the arch section 14, which is forward of the heel section 12 underlies the arch of the wearer's foot and also includes medial and lateral regions 24, 26, respectively.
- the forefoot section 16 is forward of the arch section 14 and underlies the ball of the foot, the latter of which includes the first, second, third, fourth and fifth metatarsal heads indicated in phantom at M1-M5 in Fig. 2.
- the ball of the foot also includes first, second, third, fourth and fifth metatarsal necks (N1-N5) associated with the metatarsal heads, first, second, third, fourth and fifth proximal phalanges (PP1-PP5) forward of the respective metatarsal heads, and associated metatarsal phalangeal joints (J1-J5) between the metatarsal heads and proximal phalanges.
- the forefoot section 16 is divided into first and second regions designated 28 and 30, respectively.
- the first region 28 is adapted to underlie all five metatarsal heads M1-M5, the fourth and fifth metatarsal necks N4 and N5, the proximal phalanges PP1-PP5, and the metatarsal phalangeal joints J1-J5.
- the second region 30 underlies and supports the second and third metatarsal necks N2, N3. Regions 28 and 30 are defined by a boundary line generally designated 34 having a forward medial (inner) segment 34a and a lateral (outer) segment 34b. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the medial (inner) segment 34a of boundary line 34 is offset rearwardly with respect to lateral segment 34b of the line to accommodate the first metatarsal head.
- Segment 34a passes directly beneath the neck of the first metatarsal head, and segment 34b passes directly beneath the necks of the second and third metatarsal necks.
- the toe section 18 of the sole is spaced forward of the forefoot section 16 and underlies at least the middle phalanges MP2-MP5 and distal phalanges DP1-DP5 of the toes of the wearer's foot.
- the sole 10 is formed so that a resilient material is located in the lateral region of the heel section, the lateral region of the arch section, the first region of the forefoot section and the toe section.
- a harder material is located in the medial region of the heel section, the medial region of the arch section and the second region of the forefoot section.
- Fig. 2 shows the softer material formed as a first, preferably unitary body 40 having a shape generally resembling the numeral "7”, and the harder material formed as a second, preferably unitary body 42 attached to the first body directly to the right of and below the first body 40.
- the sole 10 comprises the two bodies 40, 42 (Fig. 4) located in side-by-side relation.
- the body 40 of softer material preferably has a Type C (commonly referred to as "Shore C scale") durometer hardness measured in accordance with American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D 2440- 97 of less than about 70 and more preferably a hardness in a range of about 40-60. Depending upon the particular activity for which the footwear is intended, the hardness may be different.
- the body 40 of softer material may have a Type C durometer hardness (ASTM D 2240-97) of about 45, whereas if the footwear is intended of running, the body 40 may have a hardness of about 60.
- the body 40 should be sufficiently "soft" to provide shock attenuation, but sufficiently firm to provide stability to the foot.
- the body 42 of harder material preferably has a Type C durometer hardness (ASTM D 2240- 97) of 50-85, and preferably greater than about 60.
- the body 42 preferably has a hardness of about 75.
- the two bodies 40, 42 or sections of the sole can be bonded to one another in any suitable fashion, as by heat fusion, adhesive, or by a chemical or curing process.
- the two bodies can be formed of any suitable sole material, such as polyurethane, TPR, PVC, EVA or other materials well known to those of ordinary skill in the art of footwear.
- the two bodies 40 and 42 can be made of a single material (e.g., PVC or EVA) having different durometer hardnesses, or of different materials having different durometer hardnesses.
- the two bodies may be made of different colored materials to enhance the aesthetic characteristics of the insole and to highlight the use of multiple materials for marketability.
- the composite sole described above formed by the two bodies 40, 42 may be used in lieu of a midsole of a conventional shoe, in which case the bodies may be permanently bonded or otherwise integrally attached to a wear resistant outsole 54, or the bodies may be used in lieu of a conventional one-piece cup sole.
- the thicknesses and contours of bodies 40 and 42 may be individually designed to compensate for the various characteristics of a particular wearer or group of wearers.
- the upper surfaces of the two bodies 40, 42 may be appropriately contoured for the foot of the person wearing the footwear.
- the upper surfaces of the bodies 40, 42 may be formed with a U- shaped heel seat 60 (Figs. 1 and 4) , an arch support 62 (Figs.
- a layer of material 70 covers the entire upper surface of bodies 40 and 42 to form a sock liner and improve the appearance of the sole 10. Further, the liner 70 prevents the sole 10 from adhering to the wearer's foot or clothing. Indicia such as trademarks may printed on the upper surface of the liner.
- the liner 70 may be made of an odor and/or moisture absorbing material as is known in the art .
- the liner 70 may also be impregnated with an antibacterial and/or antimicrobial agent.
- the sole 10 protects those parts of the foot which are subjected to high impact forces, and supports other parts of the foot to function in a way which provides maximum efficiency and prepares the body for stresses placed on it, thereby reducing the risk of injury.
- the softer material of the first body 40 compresses relatively easily when loaded.
- the harder material of the second body 42 does not compress easily when loaded. Therefore, the areas of the sole 10 incorporating the softer material of the first body 40 deflect to absorb impact forces, and the areas of the sole incorporating the harder material of the second body 42 resist movement to more firmly support the foot.
- the lateral portion of the heel is generally the first part of the foot to strike the ground.
- the softer body 40 in the lateral region 22 of the heel section 12 of the sole 10 cushions the initial impact. After the initial impact, the foot pivots downward on the heel, and the lateral portions of the arch and forefoot impact the ground.
- the softer material in the lateral region 26 of the arch section 14 and in the first region 28 of the forefoot section 16 absorbs the shock of this secondary impact.
- the foot pronates to a neutral position wherein the bottom of the heel and the metatarsal heads M1-M5 of the forefoot contact the ground, and the central vertical plane of the heel is generally perpendicular to the ground.
- the harder body 42 in the medial region 24 of the arch section 14 firmly supports the osseous alignment of the foot when in the neutral position thereby relieving stress in the ligaments, muscles and tendons which maintain the foot in this position.
- the harder material of the forefoot section 16 supports the second and third metatarsal necks N2, N3, but the softer material used in the first region 28 of the forefoot section permits the first metatarsal neck Nl and head Ml to plantarflex relative to the second and third metatarsal heads M2, M3.
- This motion places the foot in an appropriate biomechanical position during the propulsive phase of the gait cycle. This motion also permits the sesamoid apparatus to function properly during mid-stance and toe-off.
- the softer material under the metatarsal heads M1-M5 also serves to dissipate weight from the mid-stance through the propulsive phases of the gait cycle.
- the material properties of the various sole regions appropriately cushion and support various parts of the user's foot.
- the shapes of the first and second bodies 40, 42 enhance the movement and support of the foot.
- the bunion cradle 64 of the preferred embodiment permits the first metatarsal head Ml to plantarflex relative to the second and third metatarsal heads M2, M3 during toe-off.
- the arch support 62 and the heel seat 60 support and cradle the osseous structure of the foot to maintain the appropriate neutral position after pronation and to prevent the ligaments, tendons and muscles of the user's feet and legs from being over stressed.
- Fig. 6 illustrates a second embodiment of a sole 100 of the present invention.
- This version is identical to the sole 10 described above except that the medial and lateral regions of the heel (designated 120 and 122, respectively) are both formed from the same softer material.
- the medial region 120 of the heel is not formed from a harder material as in the first embodiment. As shown in Fig.
- the longitudinal boundary line 134 separating the body 140 of softer material from the body 142 of harder material has a longitudinal segment 134a which extends generally between the third and fourth metatarsal necks N3, N4, a segment 134b which extends rearwardly between the cuboid bone 180 and the lateral cuneiform bone 182 of the foot, and a segment 134c which curves gradually in a rearward and medial direction to the medial side of sole, passing between the navicular bone 186 and the forward end of the medial tuberosity 188 of the heel.
- This sole design functions in the same manner as the sole design of the first embodiment, except that it provides cushioning for the entire heel area, not just the lateral region of the heel .
- the present invention is not limited necessarily to any particular type of footwear and may be equally desirable for use in removable insoles, as well as for use in the soles of shoes, boots and sandals.
- “Footwear” as used herein includes all of these items and any other item having or consisting of a sole.
- the locations and shapes of the areas of softer and harder material may be altered without departing from the scope of this invention.
- the unique configuration of softer and harder material may be employed at any vertical level of a sole or insole to provide the desired support without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the sole or insole is laminated, one or more of the laminae may be configured to have the softer and harder materials in the appropriate areas described above.
