Definitions
- shoe sole components are formed from two sheets of thermoplastic resin, with each sheet consisting of different materials having different properties and containing varying shapes and sizes of support members. These support members comprise inwardly directed indentations in each sheet of the thermoplastic resin which must be precisely aligned with the matching indentation.
- the shoe/sole/insert of embodiments of the present invention will not be restricted to only the midsole, nor will it consist of a plurality of shaped protrusions scattered throughout the midsole component material.
- the horizontal component of the present invention can preferably be a thin, flat or slightly curved object consisting of a single or very few individual sizes and shapes extending to the front and side edges of the shoe outsole or midsole or inserted insole.
- 6,145,221 discloses a cleated athletic shoe incorporating a cleat frame which supports the cleats in a manner which transfers upward forces from the cleat into the cleat frame when the shoe is weighted.
- US Patent No.5,720,118 issued to Mayer in 1998 provides an inlay for a shoe.
- the inlay comprises one piece of a hard material, preferably selected from metal, plastic, steel and spring steel.
- the stated purpose of this inlay is to reduce the risk of lateral snapping over of the foot, thus reducing the risk of ligament tears and strains.
- Another stated purpose is to protect the bottom of the foot from right angle pressures by distributing over the entire inlay pressures caused by small stones or uneven ground.
- This patent further describes a toe cap riveted to the inlay.
- the vertical component of the shoe/sole/insert of embodiments of the present invention will produce a more efficient transfer of the energy produced by the physical act of striking the object, back to the object struck.
- the foot acts as a type of energy sponge situated between the object struck and the horizontal component of embodiments of the present invention.
- the energy absorbed by the foot will be transferred to the bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles of the foot and leg. This absorbed energy will be felt in the foot and leg as heat. The more heat absorbed by the bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles of the foot and leg, the more fatigue and discomfort will be felt by the wearer of the shoe.
- the shape of the vertical component of the shoe/sole/insert of embodiments of the present invention will be determined by the material or materials used in its manufacture, and the particular performance characteristics desired by the wearer of the shoe.
- the materials used, the shapes of the shoe/sole/inserts of embodiments of the present invention, and the location of the vertical components upon or above the horizontal components will also be dictated by concerns for safety.
- the Federation Internationale De Football Association (FIFA) in law 4 states that players must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or to other players.
- the vertical component should be made of a material or materials that are stiff enough to efficiently store the energy produced by the act of kicking an object and transfer that energy to the horizontal component.
- Another feature of the present invention is that the vertical component transfer energy to a stiffer, and probably harder, horizontal component so that both components working together transfer energy to the object kicked by the wearer.
- the conventional soccer shoe may have to be modified.
- the location of the vertical component beyond the toes of the foot, rising vertically above the toes, and laterally back towards the heel on each side of the toes and forefoot would require a larger toe box than is now present in conventional soccer shoes.
- the length of the soccer shoe may also be a size or a number of sizes longer than the wearer customarily would wear.
- the embodiments of the present invention may also provide more comfort to the wearer. Energy absorbed by the present invention will decrease the energy absorbed by the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons of the toes, leg and foot. This would reduce physical fatigue and/or pain. Using the present invention's energy return characteristics may also increase the ability of the wearer to jump higher, or to run faster by increasing the wearer's stride length.
- These shoe components may improve athletic performance in a variety of athletic endeavors.
- the material or materials used in the manufacture and the shape or shapes of the present invention and the location of the present invention within the shoe may be varied depending upon the wearer's intended use.
- the vertical component of embodiments of the present invention may rest directly upon the horizontal component within the midsole, or the vertical component may rest directly upon an insole, and directly above the horizontal component within the midsole.
- the embodiments of the present invention include a performance enhancing soccer shoe insert which can be placed between the outsole and/or midsole and the wearer's foot.
- This inserted insole can contain one or more preformed objects, the horizontal components of embodiments of the present invention, embedded in the insole material, or the insert can constitute the entire insole, and it also operates in a manner consistent with previously described embodiments of the invention.
- This "after market" inserted insole can be added after the shoe has been manufactured and sold.
