Provided is a non-skid shoe capable of absorbing shock including: an outsole; a plurality of accommodation grooves formed on the outsole, the accommodation groove including a groove portion, and a penetrated portion extending from the groove portion and penetrating the outsole; a support member which is accommodated in the respective accommodation grooves, and includes a support portion disposed in the groove portion, a first guide portion formed at a center of the support portion, and a second guide portion extending from the first guide portion and penetrating a bottom surface of the support portion; a movable member which is disposed in the respective support members, and includes a latch portion and a protruding portion; a pressing member engaged to an upper portion of the first guide portion; a resilient member disposed in the first guide portion; and a midsole engaged to the top surface of the outsole.

A sole assembly is provided including multiple compression units entrapped in a midsole and adjacent an outsole to efficiently distribute forces and to assist in correct foot motion during a gait cycle. The multiple compression units can be linked to one another to assist the foot in moving through an appropriate foot motion during a gait cycle. A heel compression unit can be linked to an arch compression unit, which can be linked to one or more forefoot compression units, which can be linked to a toe compression unit. The linking of the heel compression unit, the arch compression unit, and the forefoot compression unit to one another can resist torsional movement of the units between one another, thereby providing a more stable foot support, while still providing impact-attenuation and force distribution through the sole assembly.

A footwear sole structure includes a midsole having a ground-facing surface with a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region. The midsole defines downwardly-extending protrusions at the ground-facing surface distributed over the midfoot region and the heel region, each of the downwardly-extending protrusions having a convex outer surface. A height of the midsole is greatest at the midfoot region. The sole structure may also include an outsole covering at least a portion of the ground-facing surface of the midsole, and a height of the sole structure may be greatest at the midfoot region.

A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a midsole having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the bottom surface including a first recess. A first bladder is disposed within the first recess and a first outsole member is coupled to the midsole and includes a ground-engaging surface having a first traction element and a second traction element. The first traction element is aligned with the first bladder and defines a first height relative to the ground-engaging surface, the second traction element is aligned with the first bladder and defines a second height relative to the ground-engaging surface, the second height being greater than the first height.

An article of footwear has a sole assembly with a cushioning component and a shell that has a textile layer. The cushioning component is positioned in a cavity of the shell so that the cushioning component is supported on a lower surface by the shell and the upper surface of the cushioning component is uncovered by the shell at an opening of the shell. A method of manufacturing an article of footwear includes forming an at least partially textile shell so that the shell has a cavity with an opening. A cushioning component is positioned in the cavity of the shell so that a lower surface of the cushioning component is supported on an inner surface of the shell and is uncovered by the shell at the opening. The lower surface of the cushioning component is secured to the inner surface of the shell by radio frequency welding or adhesive.

A sole for an article of footwear includes a base having an outer edge defining a perimeter, the base having a forefoot portion, a midfoot portion and a heel portion; and a plurality of resilient projections extending from the base, wherein the plurality of projections includes a plurality of projections extending non-orthogonally from the base about the perimeter of the base and a plurality of projections extending substantially orthogonally from the base within the non-orthogonal projections.

A sole structure for an article of footwear is provided. The sole structure includes an outsole having a ground-engaging surface and an upper surface formed on an opposite side of the outsole than the ground-engaging surface. A first cushion is disposed proximate to a medial side of the sole structure and includes a first fluid-filled chamber attached to the upper surface of the outsole and a second fluid-filled chamber attached to the first fluid-filled chamber and disposed between the first fluid-filled chamber and the upper. A second cushion is disposed proximate to a lateral side of the sole structure and includes a third fluid-filled chamber attached to the upper surface of the outsole and a fourth fluid-filled chamber attached to the third fluid-filled chamber and disposed between the third fluid-filled chamber and the upper. The second cushion is fluidly isolated from the first cushion.

A sole for cycling shoe includes a forefoot section, a heel section and an arch section connected between the forefoot section and the heel section, a longitudinal axis and a tilting axis defined between the forefoot section and the heel section, a deviation angle defined between the tilting axis and the longitudinal axis, a middle part extending through the forefoot section, the arch section and the heel section, and two side wing portions defined at two opposite sides relative to the middle part. The rigidity of the middle part is higher than the two side wing portions. The middle part extends in the arch section along the tilting axis. Based on the above-described technical features, the overall structure of the sole has sufficient rigidity with enhanced torsionability on the rear end thereof, making the cycling shoe more comfort.

Disclosed is a method for producing a shoe sole. The shoe sole includes: a shoe sole fabric having the form of a sole; a protective cover having the form corresponding to the form of the shoe sole fabric and bonded to a lower surface of the shoe sole fabric with a plurality of pillar through holes vertically penetrating the protective cover; and a plurality of pillar pieces passing through the plurality of pillar through holes, and bonded to the lower surface of the shoe sole fabric and arranged in a form of protruding downward from the protective cover.

Sole structures, foot support systems, articles of footwear, and/or other foot-receiving devices include: (a) a first footwear component having a ground-facing surface, wherein a forefoot portion of the ground-facing surface includes arched medial and lateral surfaces and (b) a second footwear component having an upper-facing surface, wherein a forefoot portion of the upper-facing surface includes arched medial and lateral surfaces that face (and optionally contact) the respective arched medial and lateral surfaces of the first footwear component. The first and second footwear components are movably engaged together such that: (a) the arched medial surface of the first footwear component moves with respect to and along the arched medial surface of the second footwear component and (b) the arched lateral surface of the first footwear component moves with respect to and along the arched lateral surface of the second footwear component.
