The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a foam molded body, including: a setting step of inputting a foam matrix material into a mold that is not affected by microwaves, wherein the foam matrix material includes a plurality of half-foamed granules of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) and at least an embedded component, and the embedded component is of a material or its product that is not affected by microwaves; and a foaming step of heating the mold by microwaves, wherein the half-foamed granules in the mold are affected by microwaves such that the temperature thereof are raised to effect foaming and the granules are squeezed with each other, and the embedded component is therefore squeezed and fixed, so as to form a foam molded body embedded with an embedded component after cooling and demolding.

An insole for open-styled footwear that includes a mating attachment system for variably affixing the insole into footwear.

An insole which generates an air flow during use, which assists in cooling or warming the foot of a user is disclosed. In a first embodiment, air flow facilitated by said insole provides for convective heat transfer away from the plantar surface of the foot. The insole is intended for insertion into a shoe which is ventilated, preferably an athletic shoe with a ventilated upper. The bottom layer defines a plurality of ridges and channel lining portions which together define a plurality of air channels. The bottom layer defines a heel recess in which a heel pad is situated. In a second embodiment, an insole which collects, retains, and heats a user's foot is disclosed. Said insole further comprises a middle layer of thermal reflective material secured to and coextensive with a top layer and a bottom layer secured to said middle layer.

A method for manufacturing a waterproof and vapor-permeable shoe comprising the steps of providing an upper and a lining comprising at least one functional layer of vapor-permeable and waterproof material, providing an insole comprising a functional support sheet of vapor-permeable and waterproof material, coupling the peripheral edge of the functional layer of the lining to the peripheral edge of the functional sheet of the insole by way of a sealing waterproof adhesive so as to shape a sock of vapor-permeable and waterproof material, couple the upper to the outer surface of the lining by way of a vapor-permeable adhesive; and couple a sole to the upper and/or to the lining and/or to the insole.

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.

Provided herein are embodiments of a shoe component. The shoe component may include a toebox, an insole, an adhesive membrane, a thermal-resistant insert, a midsole, and an outsole. The insert may further include a footbed. The footbed may include an upper surface and a bottom surface. The insert may further include an upper laminate on the upper surface of the footbed and a lower laminate on the bottom surface of the footbed.

A present invention related to a method for manufacturing a dot bonding shoe insole using an adhesive resin containing hydrophobic nano-silica, including: melting adhesive resin made of any one selected from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) containing hydrophobic nano-silica in the range of 0.2 to 5 phr and applying to the surface of the transfer roller in which the intaglio dot pattern is formed in a mesh shape in the shape of the shoe insole; removing the adhesive resin applied other area than the intaglio dot pattern of the surface of the transfer roller; transferring the adhesive resin applied to the intaglio dot pattern of the surface of the transfer roller to either one of the foam or the fabric; bonding the foam and the fabric by compressing; and cutting a shoe insole shape in a package in which the foam and the fabric are bonded.

A shoe insole includes a semi-rigid shell for providing a wearer with extended comfort. The semi-rigid shell includes a notch which is located on the outward side of the wearer's foot and accommodates pronation of the foot during use. Additionally, the semi-rigid shell includes an extended side portion which is located opposite of the notch side on an inner side of the wearer's foot. The semi-rigid shell is shorter in length than the length of a shoe sole and slightly shorter in width and may be combined with an insole comfort cover to provide cushion between the wearer's foot and the semi-rigid shell.
