Adaptable shoe upper and adaptable sole

Abstract

The present invention relates to a shoe upper for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, comprising a first layer and a second layer connected to the first layer in a fixed way. The second layer comprises at least two regions separated from each other, and the first layer comprises a higher elasticity in a region not covered by the at least two regions of the second layer than the second layer. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a sole, in particular a sole for a sports shoe, comprising a first layer and a second layer connected to the first layer in a fixed way. The second layer comprises at least two regions separated from each other, and the first layer comprises a higher elasticity at least in a region not covered by the at least two regions of the second layer than the second layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an adaptable shoe upper and an adaptable sole, as well as a shoe that comprises such a shoe upper and / or such a sole.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Normally shoes comprise a shoe upper and a sole attached thereto. After the purchase of a shoe neither the width nor the length of the shoe upper and / or the sole are adaptable. However, it is often the case that not until after the purchase, after a longer period of wearing a shoe, the wearer notices a not perfectly correct fit of the shoe. Besides, shoes are made on lasts, whose dimensions (e.g. the width) have been determined according to average values out of a population group. Persons whose feet do not correspond to these average values, thus do not always get perfectly optimally fitting shoes. Also the shape and / or the size of the feet can change over time. This is especially true for children, whose shoe size rapidly changes in the first...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a shoe with two layers of flexible material that provide support and stability to the foot. The first layer is more flexible and adaptable, while the second layer is less elastic to provide stability to specific areas such as the heel and toe region. The shoe also has regions with high elasticity in both the first and second layers, which allows the shoe to adapt to the shape of the wearer's foot and stretch according to the loads. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a shoe that can offer optimal support and comfort while maintaining flexibility and adaptability.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is often the case that not until after the purchase, after a longer period of wearing a shoe, the wearer notices a not perfectly correct fit of the shoe.

Persons whose feet do not correspond to these average values, thus do not always get perfectly optimally fitting shoes.

In this case the shoe does not fit optimally due to the bandage and it may lead to chafe marks.

Because the left and the right shoe of a pair are normally made on mirror-symmetrical lasts, at least in this case one of both shoes is not optimally fitting.
