A sole assembly and a high heel footwear having the same and methods for manufacturing the sole assembly and the high heel footwear are disclosed. The sole assembly includes an insole board comprising a forefoot portion, a heel portion, and a raised outer edge, wherein the heel portion is elevated with respect to the forefoot portion forming an arch therebetween; and an insole platform positioned above the insole board, the insole platform comprising a plurality of contours on an upper surface and a plurality of holes at a lower surface.

A thin, low profile, one time use, disposable non-padded and non-metallic material of ornamental shape, thickness, and flexibility with a low tack pressure sensitive adhesive side to adhere to the bottom of the foot, that protects a passenger's clean/healthy feet from contaminated floor surfaces, while keeping other passengers with dirty/unhealthy feet from transferring their own personal foot disorders onto the floor surfaces of security screening lines. The foot liner is used when passengers are required to remove their shoes during the security screening process before boarding their flight. The foot liner needs to be cost effective due to the large volume of passengers (1.7 million worldwide daily) throughout airports and has a built-in removal tab that can be any size, shape, or length, and can either be non-adhesive or have low tack pressure sensitive adhesive qualities (to stick to the heel to ensure no floor contact) for quick removal of the foot liner, so the wearer's fingers are not exposed to germs during the removal process.

An article of footwear is provided having an elevated plate structure incorporated in the sole structure and optionally including a fluid-filled chamber. The elevated plate structure can include an upper plate and a plurality of legs extending downward toward the outsole. End portions of the legs can engage an upper region of the outsole. The elevated plate structure can form a cage region that can optionally include a fluid-filled chamber substantially disposed therein. The elevated plate structure can further include a lower plate disposed at an upper region of the outsole, which can form a lower portion of the cage region. Portions of the legs can be integrated with impact-attenuating members in the heel region in various configurations and can provide features for the impact-attenuating members, such as support, impact-attenuation and adjustable impact-attenuation features.

Devices and methods for treating clubfoot are disclosed.

Devices and methods for treating clubfoot are disclosed.

An apparatus for making an article of footwear is provided. The apparatus may include a last shaped to resemble a human foot and being formed at least in part from a susceptor material that is thermally reactive to an electromagnetic field. The apparatus may also include an induction coil disposed proximate to the last and configured to produce an electromagnetic field that causes the susceptor material in the last to increase in temperature by induction heating.
