Footwear having a vamp, an insole, a midsole and an outsole, wherein a plurality of spaced apart magnets are located adjacent said outsole so that in use said magnets provide a gripping force between said footwear and a ferrous metallic surface upon which said footwear is placed.

Presented are footwear sole structures with pressure-mapped midsole topographies and inlaid wear-mitigating outsoles, methods for making/using such sole structures, and footwear fabricated with such sole structures. An article of footwear includes an upper for receiving and attaching to a foot of a user, and a sole structure attached to the upper for supporting thereon the user's foot. The sole structure includes a midsole that is formed with a first material having a first hardness, and an outsole that is mounted to the midsole and formed with a second material that is harder than the first material. The midsole has a ground-facing surface with multiple cavities, multiple channels interspersed with the cavities, and ground-contacting land segments that separate the cavities from the channels. The outsole is disposed in the channels and positioned between the cavities such that a ground-contacting outsole surface is substantially flush with the midsole's ground-contacting land segments.

The present disclosure provides an inflatable shock-absorbing sole structure, which includes a sole and at least one convex arranged on the sole, an airbag room is formed in the convex, and an airbag is arranged in the airbag room, the airbag room and the airbag are stretchable and compressible. The shock-absorbing sole structure further includes a built-in air-charging device, when the airbag needs to be inflated, the air-charging device can inflate it. The present disclosure provides a shock-absorbing sole structure, the airbag room and the airbag form a shock absorption system in the sole structure, which endows the sole structure a better shock absorption effect. Further, by mounting a built-in air-charging device in the sole structure, when the air bag needs to be inflated, the built-in air-charging device can inflate it.

A sheet for forming a shoe sole, useful for efficiently joining a crosslinked rubber layer as a stud and a thermoplastic elastomer layer as a sole, is provided. The sheet comprises a resin component (A) containing a polyamide resin (a) and having an amino group concentration of not less than 10 mmol/kg and a flexural modulus of not less than 300 MPa in accordance with ISO178. The polyamide resin (a) may contain a polyamide resin having a melting point of not less than 165 C. at a predetermined concentration (e.g., not less than 30% by weight) in the total polyamide resin (a).

The anti-slip sport shoe sole (1) surface has an anti-slip surface (2) with small pieces of hard material (3) that are bonded during the manufacture of the sport shoe with the flexible surface of the sport shoe sole (1). The small pieces of hard material (3) come into contact with the ground upon contact of the sport shoe sole (1) with the ground. The anti-slip sport shoe sole is intended for sports disciplines on soft stadium surfaces.
