AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The sole of the shoe has a second region that consists of particle foam. This foam provides a stiffer deformation of the shoe along a certain direction. The technical effect of this is to improve the stability and control of the shoe when running or walking.

Problems solved by technology

A person of ordinary skill in the relevant art will understand that the term “break out” means that the shoe fails to provide the necessary lateral support to the musculoskeletal system to prevent the ankle from hyperextending in a lateral direction.

Abstract

Described are soles for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, with a midsole. The midsole includes a first sole region, which includes particle foam. The midsole further includes a deformation region within the midsole, wherein the deformation region has a volume greater than that of a single expanded particle and is positioned so that it allows a sideward deformation of the material of the first sole region under a pressure load on the sole.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLIATIONS[0001]The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 137,139, titled “SOLE AND SHOE,” filed on Mar. 23, 2015, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a sole for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, as well as a shoe with such a sole.BACKGROUND[0003]By means of soles, shoes are provided with a variety of different properties which may, depending on the specific type of shoe, be realized to different extents. A shoe sole may, for example, protect the shoe from excessive abrasion by means of its increased abrasion resistance. Moreover, shoe soles usually serve protective purposes, for example, to protect a wearer's foot from injuries caused by sharp or pointed objects on which the wearer may tread.[0004]To further prevent injuries or an overstraining of the musculoskeletal system of the wearer, a sole may also provide improved stabi...
