A three-layered shoe construction having a mating relationship between an outsole, an midsole, and an insole. The outsole having a shoulder portion and a plurality of non-linear grooves, the grooves creating flow channels to guide liquid off the outer surface of the outsole and providing additional flexibility; the dual density midsole having an angled portion and a first density in the forefoot area and a second density in the hind foot area, the second density being greater than the first density, the angled portion of the midsole mating with the shoulder portion of the outsole; and the insole having a plurality of curved grooves that cover the top face. The specific construction associated with the outsole, midsole and insole enhance traction, flexibility, cushioning, comfort, breathability and water displacement.

A shoe construction having an outsole wherein the exterior face includes a forefoot section, a midfoot section, and a heel foot section, the forefoot and midfoot sections including a stair step pattern, the heel foot section including a plurality of projections, the interior face of the outsole including a forefoot cavity having a plurality of wavy rib members and a hind foot cavity having a plurality of straight rib members, a dual density midsole having a first density in the forefoot area and a second density in the hind foot area, and an insole receivable within the midsole and having a top face which includes a scored geometric pattern forming a plurality of non-linear grooves and projections some of which spiral outwardly from around the arch area and some of which extend into the forefoot and hind foot areas, and a pair of cushioning members receivable respectively within the forefoot and hind foot cavities of the outsole.

A shoe deodorizing insert assembly for reducing odor in a shoe includes an insole that is comprised of polyethylene and polypropylene. The insole is positionable in a shoe prior to wearing the shoe. Additionally, the insole is comprised of cellulose fibers to absorb sweat from a user's foot when the shoe is worn. The insole is removable from the shoe after the shoe has been worn for one day. An adhesive layer is positioned on the insole to adhere to the shoe thereby inhibiting the insole from displacing when the shoe is worn.

A three-layered shoe construction including an outsole having a shoulder portion and a plurality of two different types of grooves, one set of grooves being wave-like channels and one set of grooves being substantially straight, the grooves creating flow channels to guide liquid off the outer surface of the outsole and providing additional flexibility; a dual density midsole having an angled portion and a first density in the forefoot area and a second density in the hind foot area, the second density being greater than the first density, the angled portion of the midsole mating with the shoulder portion of the outsole; and an insole having a plurality of apertures that cover the top face. The specific construction associated with the outsole, midsole and insole enhance traction, flexibility, cushioning, comfort, breathability and water displacement.

An interlocking mechanism for a shoe can provide the ability for the shoe sole to be attached or removed. For example, a shoe wearer may want the ability to change his or her shoe soles for aesthetic purposes. The shoe sole can also comprise additional functionality for the shoe wearer. For example, the shoe sole itself provide storage and/or lighting capabilities.

An activated-carbon based odor-eliminating pad and its method of construction are disclosed. The odor-eliminating pad is constructed out of multiple polyester layers over an activated-carbon layer. Preferably, one of the polyester layers is coated with an adhesive allowing the odor-eliminating pad to be removably attached to a surface. The odor-eliminating pad may be scented or unscented. The method of construction includes preparing both the activated-carbon layer, the polyester layers, as well as one or more adhesives for bonding the layers together, all before ultrasonically welding them together.

This disclosure provides a sleek shoe insert sized and shaped to fit into any shoe, including elegant, stylish, or casual shoes such as high heels, slip-on booties, booties, sandals, wedges, heels with open sides, closed heels, boat shoes, and the like. The shoe insert is inconspicuous and absorbs odor and moisture, while leaving no scent or a fresh scent. The shoe insert comprises a first layer comprising a breathable fabric, a second layer comprising air-laid paper, and a third layer comprising polyethylene film. An adhesive is on the underside of the polyethylene film. On the top of the first layer is a combination of essential oils for eliminating or reducing bacteria or odor.

A rain boot and uniform footwear with an intelligent temperature-controlling air extractor and water-proofing and air-venting functions, includes: a boot upper layer (10), a middle cushion layer (11) and a boot lower layer (12), wherein a miniature air extractor (13) is provided at a position below an instep of the boot bottom layer (12), a magnetic levitation power switch (14), a temperature sensor (15) and a control main board (16) are also provided in the boot bottom layer (12), the temperature sensor (15) being electrically connected to an input end of the control main board (16) and transmitting a temperature sensing signal of the foot to the control main board (16), and an output end of the control main board (16) being electrically connected to the miniature air extractor (13) via the magnetic levitation power switch (14).

The present invention provides a shoe material part mainly composed of a coffee ground material, a porous material and a rubber-plastic material, and is made of a recycled waste porous material and recycled waste coffee grounds, which can improve the value of waste recycling and reuse, and reduce environmental pollution, in addition to reducing waste, there will be no residue pollution of natural ecology and other issues in the subsequent environmental recycling, quite in line with environmental requirements. In addition, the present invention has the function of natural deodorization, because the coffee grounds can naturally diffuse the aroma of coffee, and the characteristics of better deodorization and air permeability of the coffee grounds can be used to reduce the foul smell of a user's foot.

The present disclosure provides materials and articles of clothing including a plurality of nanocapsules, each nanocapsule including a polymeric shell surrounding at least one fluid, and a plurality of polymeric fibers co-spun with the plurality of nanocapsules. The nanocapsules can be made by miniemulsion polymerization. The encapsulated at least one fluid can include at least one essential oil. In some embodiments, the materials are deodorizing, antifungal, and/or antibacterial. Methods of manufacturing the materials and articles of clothing are also provided.
