PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE OF CUSTOMIZED SPLIT INSOLE FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS
20190232562 · 2019-08-01 ·

Under the inventive process, the customised split insole is made by processing manually collected medical data and arch data along with plantar pressure distribution data and foot type data both of which are collected using a computer enabled Plantar Pressure Measuring Device in a first computer and processing these data in a second computer to generate a Projection Data which is expressed in Shore Hardness Value. Then, ranking of the projection data into a zone wise Ranking Index, determining the elasticity of the material to be used for the said Shore Hardness Value, converting the said shore hardness value into Surface Tessellation Language and transmitting the same to a third computer built into a 3D printing machine which selects a suitable material and its elasticity zone wise as per the Shore Hardness Value and 3D prints the same.

FOOTWEAR WITH INTERNAL HARNESS
20180140049 · 2018-05-24 ·

An improved article of footwear is disclosed herein. The article of footwear includes an upper and an internal harness disposed within the upper. The upper has a midfoot region, a forefoot region, a medial side, a lateral side, and an opening configured to receive a foot of a wearer. The harness extends between the midfoot region and the forefoot region, and may include a medial panel and a lateral panel. The medial panel and the lateral panel are coupled to the upper and movably coupled to each other. Moving the lateral panel and the medial panel together applies a compressive force to the foot of a wearer to secure the foot of the wearer in the upper. Consequently, the internal harness prevents the foot of a wearer from shifting or translating in the upper, such as during athletic activity like cutting.

FOOTWEAR HAVING PRESSURE EQUALIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION
20180110285 · 2018-04-26 ·

An article of footwear that is adjustable so as to optimize the pressure distribution and pressure equalization on the foot surfaces. The footwear is configured to adjust to a user's anatomy so as to optimize pressure distribution and equalization on the foot, where the footwear is capable of adjusting the pressure distribution on the foot substantially in real time.

SUSPENSION BRIDGING SHOE
20170079372 · 2017-03-23 ·

A shoe that simulates barefoot running having an outer sole having a forefoot portion, a heel portion, and a flexible bridge portion, wherein the flexible bridge portion is curved inwards to be narrower than a foot on both the lateral and medial sides, wherein the flexible bridge conforms to the foot's arch and is lifted off the ground when the shoe is tied onto the foot; a wrap overlay associated with the flexible bridge and having at least a first strap and at least a second strap, which are tied atop a metatarsal area of the foot, such that to suspend the flexible bridge therefrom and provide a 360 degrees wrap of the foot in the arch section of the foot, resulting in both, arch support and the shoe's anchoring to the foot; and, a roomy toe box providing toe splay and facilitating forefoot-striking

CORRECTIVE ORTHOPEDIC INSOLE
20250134209 · 2025-05-01 ·

A corrective orthopedic device aimed at preventing excessive pronation, specifically designed for children between the ages of 3 and 16, as well as for adults with flexible flat feet. It features an array of components including a deep heel cup, a substantially elongated medial arch support, and a variably angled medial wedge extending to the ball of the foot. The wedge comes in different levels of correction, such as 3 mm, 6 mm, or 9 mm, with the intent of fostering proper arch support and encouraging better alignment in the sub-talar and ankle joints, which in turn improves overall lower body joint posture. The extended medial or varus wedge starts from the heel and extends to the first metatarsophalangeal (1st MTP) joint, aligning both the rear, midfoot and proximal forefoot in a corrective position. Additional features include a high medial flange and a full-length cushioned top cover for enhanced comfort.
