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.

In some examples, an assembly for a footwear includes a cell comprising a housing structure, the cell comprising a first chamber to contain a fluid. The assembly further includes a port and a vibrator responsive to activation to cause a reduction in fluid flow through the port between the first chamber and a second chamber by changing a characteristic of the fluid in the port.

A pneumatic compression boot assembly includes a sleeve having a foot portion and a leg portion that cooperate to define a boot interior that is configured to receive a user's leg and foot, and a pump associated with the foot portion of the sleeve. The sleeve includes a plurality of inflatable compartments defined therein. The pump is configured to inflate the inflatable compartments.

A dynamic orthotic device has a pair of rotating disks which are received in a base. Each disk houses a plurality of spherical foot-massaging balls. Each of the pair of disks is activated by a spring-biased pushbutton with arms mounted to a bottom edge of the pushbutton, each arm having a tine which engages a gear-toothed member affixed to the respective rotating disk and rotates them in opposite rotational directions. The massaging balls engage the soles of the wearer's feet in different locations with each respective step eliminating pressure buildup on the heels of the wearer.

A footwear insole assembly includes individual electrodes situated within an insole configured to activate in response to applied pressure from a user's foot. The insole includes a upper surface wherein a plurality of pockets are formed in the upper surface. A plurality of pressure sensors are located in the insole and are configured to detect a compressive force on the insole. A plurality of electrodes are located within at least one of the plurality of pockets and in communication with the plurality of pressure sensors. A power supply is configured to transmit power to the plurality of electrodes in response to detected pressure from the plurality of pressure sensors.

A functional shoe insole includes: a body part located inside a shoe, and configured to, when the shoe is worn by a user, come into direct contact with a sole of a foot of the user and distribute a load applied to the foot; an arch stimulation member coupled to the body part at a predetermined position, and configured to stimulate an arch portion of the sole of the foot of the user; and a heel stimulation member coupled to the body part at a predetermined position, and configured to stimulate a heel portion of the sole of the foot of the user. The arch stimulation member includes a first arch acupressure module. The heel stimulation member includes a first heel acupressure module.

An inflatable massage shoe includes a sole, a vamp installed on the sole, and an inflatable massage device having a main airbag and a massage airbag connected to the main airbag. The main airbag is installed on the sole and has an elastic device installed in the main airbag; the massage airbag is installed on an inner side of the vamp and communicated with the main airbag through a pipeline, and a gas in the main airbag can be exchanged with the gas in the massage airbag through the pipeline; and the vamp further includes a protective shell and an inner lining, and the massage airbag is installed between the protective shell and the inner lining. This inflatable massage shoe provides active massage actions, simulates the massage effect, and improves the comfortability, practicality, and promotion of massage shoes.

A shoe for massaging the inner side of hallux includes a sole, a vamp mounted on the sole, and an elastic correction band with both ends installed to the inner side of the vamp and the top of the sole respectively. The elastic correction band has a massage area on an outer surface of the hallux and massage bumps on the massage area. Both ends of the elastic correction band have a fixed part on the inner side of the vamp, and the fixed part at the lower end of the elastic correction band is installed to the top of the sole. The massage area of the elastic correction band can massage the trigeminal nerve acupoints on the inner side of the hallux to achieve the effect of relieving migraine. In addition, the elastic correction band can correct the hallux valgus and provide a certain buffering effect by its elasticity.

Orthopaedic foot bed for a shoe with a foot support surface, wherein the foot support surface is formed by a plane base surface. The foot bed has a multiplicity of knobs which are distributed in a predefined manner and by which the stimulation points in the sole are stimulated in a targeted manner, as a result of which the neurological, biotensegrity and liquid-dynamic system of the human body can in turn be improved. Through the improvement thereby achieved, it is possible to address and improve certain aspects of human health, which in particular include the gait pattern and posture of the human body. Moreover, by means of the invention, the transport of the lymphatic and venous liquids (“heart of feet function” of the sole) can be excited and intensified.

The present invention relates to a sole for a shoe, in particular a running shoe. The shoe comprises a sole component and at least one loose particle(s) contained within the sole component. The loose particles provide haptic feedback to a user of the sole during an athletic activity.
