Shoe outsoles having anti-infective properties are provided herein, as are methods and materials for making shoes and shoe outsoles having anti-infective properties.

The present invention relates to a composite membrane for garment accessories or wearable item accessories and a method for making the composite membrane. In particular, the composite membrane includes a first layer having a first side and a second side opposite to one another and with a plurality of through-holes which extend between the first side and the second side; and a first plurality of fibers made of a thermo-conductive material and configured to convey moisture. The through-holes are engaged by first fibers of the plurality of fibers so as to form channels designed to convey a liquid from the first side to the second side.

Disposable insole pads and use thereof are disclosed. The disposable insole pads are multilayer structures comprising a topsheet and a pressure sensitive adhesive, and optionally a backsheet, silicone coating and liner layers. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer allows the disposable insole pads to be positioned, repositioned and removed, making them well suited for daily use and disposal.

A method for producing antibacterial shock absorbing shoes is provided. The method includes the following steps of: designing a shoe tree and a shoe style, and selecting a material; attaching paper to an outside of the shoe tree to make a paper pattern; manufacturing a bottom pad, a middle pad and a foot pad, and punching a circular hole in the middle pad; soaking the leather pad with an antibacterial agent, punching semi-spherical protrusions and a connecting groove on the leather pad, forming a circular pinhole in a top end of the semi-spherical protrusion, pasting the leather pad on the middle pad with a glue and cutting the leather pad to manufacture a shock absorbing massage pad; wrapping the shoes, and shaping; and placing the shock absorbing massage pads and the foot pads into the shoes. The shoes manufactured have good breathability, shock absorbing property and antibacterial property.

An insert liner is provided and is configured to be removably received in an inner cavity of a shoe. The elastomeric liner includes: a longitudinal portion; opposing first and second lateral portions; and opposing front and rear portions, wherein the longitudinal, lateral, front, and rear portions define a cavity having an opening configured below the opposing front and rear portions and configured to receive a user's foot; and a fastener coupled to at least the front portion and the rear portion of the liner while being bond free relative to a toe portion of the shoe, the front portion is configured to releasably adhere to the tongue portion to maintain the opening below an upper edge of at least one of the heel portion and the opposing sidewall portions and to define the opening configured to receive the user's foot.

A substrate having discrete copper laminae for positioning proximate an odour causing area of a user's body. The lamina are spaced apart to provide channels between adjacent laminae and the substrate. The high density of the laminae and channels cooperate to control odour. Several embodiments are disclosed for use in a variety of clothing and footwear articles.
