An insole/sole structure contains: a top pad, two massage column modules, a form pad, and a bottom pad. The top pad includes at least one accommodation groove. A respective one of the at least one massage column module includes a holding portion and multiple flexible massaging columns. The respective one massage column module is connected on the top pad by using the holding portion. The multiple flexible massaging columns are held on the holding portion to correspond to a profile of a respective one accommodation groove. A profile of the foam pad and a profile of the bottom pad correspond to a profile of the top pad, such that when the foam pad and the bottom pad are connected, the foam pad and the bottom pad are closed, and the respective one massage column module is limited between the top pad and the foam pad.

An insole configured to be disposed in a shoe worn by a person, in particular during a walking period of the person. The insole includes a force and/or pressure measurement unit configured to acquire at least one representative measurement of the force and/or pressure exerted on the insole by the person, a motion measurement acquisition unit configured to acquire at least one measure representative of a motion of the person’s foot, and a processing unit configured to receive the force and/or pressure measurement and the motion measurement, to compute at least one walking parameter and to control the emission of stimulation at a walking moment according to the value of the walking parameter.

An insole device with the balancing, correcting, cushioning and supporting functions includes an insole body, reinforced hard strips are disposed on a bottom surface of the insole body, the reinforced hard strips crisscross around the bottom surface of the insole body, first through holes are evenly formed in the bottom surface of the insole body, the first through holes are located in gaps between the criss-crossed reinforced hard strips, and a second through hole is formed in a heel position of the insole body. The insole body is of a 3D stereoscopic arch structure, with an arch arc height of 15+/−10 mm. The insole body is formed by integrated injection of special nylon material, with a thickness of 2.5-10 mm, and a hardness of 30 D-100 D.

The present disclosure provides an insole, including a base having a front surface for corresponding to the foot sole of a wearer of a shoe with the insole and a rear surface for corresponding to an inner sole of the shoe; wherein the insole further includes a plurality of protrusions evenly arranged on the front surface; the protrusions have the same heights, each protrusion includes a column fixed on the base and a height of the column protruding out from the base ranges from 1 to 7 mm, and a coverage rate of the protrusions on the base ranges from 30% to 70%.

A footbed having at least one of a thickness adjustment panel and a lateral adjustment fin, each configured to be moved between a first configuration and a second configuration, the first and second configurations providing different fits of a shoe into which the footbed is inserted.

Designs and compositions of insoles for footwear are described herein. The insoles may be customized for a given foot. In some examples, the insole (100) includes a base comprising a variable thickness component (205), a directional stiffness component, a stability component, and a reinforcement component. The base may be a single composition that is manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques.

A force or pressure sensing device comprises one or more magnets resiliently held spaced from one or more magnetic sensors such that pressure on the device displaces the magnets relative to the magnetic field sensors. The device may be incorporated into an insole of a shoe, or integrated into a shoe, or integrated into a seat, cushion, mattress or saddle. The device includes one or more magnetic focussing elements on the opposite side of the magnetic field sensor from the magnets to focus and condition the magnetic field passing through the sensor. The magnetic focussing elements may be permanent magnets or magnetic materials having a high magnetic permeability such as mu-metals. Additional magnetic focussing elements may be placed adjacent to the magnets. Plural magnetic field sensors can be arranged in a symmetrical arrangement in a plane below the one or more magnets so that shear forces applied to the device causes lateral relative displacement of the magnet and magnetic field sensors changing the magnetic field sensed by the magnetic field sensors. The device can also include a motion detector such as an accelerometer which may be integral with the magnetic field sensor.

A haptic transducer is provided, comprising a motor including a yoke, an inner cavity formed by the yoke, and a magnet assembly disposed within the inner cavity; a diaphragm disposed above the magnet assembly; a suspension extending concentrically around the diaphragm and having an inner edge attached to the diaphragm and an outer edge attached to the yoke; a cylindrical coil coupled to the diaphragm and suspended within the inner cavity around the magnet assembly; a first hole extending through the motor; and a second hole axially aligned with the first hole and extending through the diaphragm, a fastener extending through the first hole into the second hole. A footplate system is also provided, comprising a footplate configured for placement in a piece of footwear; a moving motor transducer configured to transfer haptic sensations to the footplate; and a top fastener configured to secure the haptic transducer to the footplate.

An article of footwear may include an upper configured to receive a foot of a wearer and a sole structure fixedly attached to the upper, the sole structure including a ground-contacting outer member and a removable midsole. The footwear may further include a motorized tensioning system including a power source, a control unit, a tensile member, and a motorized tightening device, the motorized tightening device being attached to an outer surface of the upper, and the tightening device being configured to apply tension in the tensile member to adjust the size of an internal void defined by the article of footwear. In addition, the power source and the control unit of the tensioning system may be configured to be removably disposed in the removable midsole.
