Provided are, among other things, systems, methods and techniques for making a shoe outsole and to shoe outsoles made using such techniques. In one such technique, a sheet of composite material is produced by extruding a base material together with a sheet of fabric material. The sheet of composite material is then cut into an outsole component, and a shoe outsole is fabricated using the outsole component.

Footwear and footwear production process comprises steps that include the reuse of raw materials previously used in footwear or other sources. Such a process also provides for the reduction of waste and environmental impact as well as the elimination of water consumption. A footwear, also the object of the present invention, comprises renewable origin, natural, recycled and recyclable components, being a sustainable product, ecologically viable and inserted in the context of Circular Bio Economy. The footwear presents quality standards in accordance with standard technical standards of quality, overcoming challenges related to obtaining comfortable and simultaneously sustainable shoes.

Process for obtaining ecological footwear using recycled or waste organic materials for the production thereof, particularly materials such as sargassum, coffee waste, and agave bagasse and using solvent-free water-based adhesives, therefore friendly to atmosphere. The process includes assembling the footwear with woven fabrics and non-woven polyester fabrics obtained from fibers that are produced with bottle flakes and postindustrial recycled material of the same polymer, in addition to including the thread and laces made with filaments obtained from the same recycled nature, and incorporating the sole and details with a percentage of recycled polyester plastic bottles, sargassum, coffee waste, and pulverized agave gabazo used as an inert load, so the footwear presented has a recycled polyester content, Sargassum, coffee residues and agave gabazo between 5 and 90% in weigh.

An environmentally friendly shoe material and method of manufacturing the same is disclosed, wherein the method includes: mixing scraps and a foaming material to provide a shoe material mixture, the scraps including bottle scraps formed by crushing plastic bottles; putting the shoe material mixture into a mold and compression molding the shoe material mixture into the environmentally friendly shoe material; and separating the environmentally friendly shoe material from the mold. In this way, the environmentally friendly shoe material may not only maintain its due function, but also take environmental protection into account.

An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure that defines a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region. The sole structure comprises densified wood and includes an upper midsole cushioning member, a lower midsole cushioning member, an outsole coupled with a bottom surface of the lower midsole cushioning member, and a plate positioned between the upper midsole cushioning member and the lower midsole cushioning member.

A fiber preform includes a substrate. A fiber bundle includes reinforcing fibers arranged on the substrate in a shape of a shoe sole and attached to the substrate by a plurality of stitches of the thermoplastic thread to form a first preform layer having a principal orientation. An orthotropic composite material shoe sole is also provided that includes the fiber preform with a cured molded resin surrounding the fiber preform, the cured molded resin having a shape of the shoe sole. A method of forming a fiber preform for use in a composite material shoe sole is also provided.

Disclosed is a sole-type body member, which is a main body of a shoe sole or an insole, is laminated on the sheet-type coated cork, and is then pressed and heated so that a part of the sole-type body member is inserted into the main-body-coupling opening, thereby achieving coupling therebetween.
