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 spacer textile material may include a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of connecting members extending between and joining the first layer and the second layer. The connecting members may form a series of at least ten rows that are separated by spaces. The rows have a width that is less than a width of the spaces, and the connecting members form at least one stabilizing row with a width that is greater than the width of the spaces.

Foot support systems include a fluid flow regulator and/or valve that: (a) can operate as a stop valve to stop transfer of fluid between a first fluid container and a second fluid container, (b) can open in a controlled manner to allow transfer of fluid from the second fluid container to the first fluid container, (c) can open to equalize pressure in the first and second fluid containers, and (d) can act as a check valve to enable flow of fluid from the first fluid container to the second fluid container when/if gas pressure in the first container exceeds that in the second container by a predetermined amount. Additional features relate to fluid flow control systems and methods, systems and methods for changing and controlling the crack pressure of a valve (e.g., a check valve), and/or systems and methods for matching foot support pressure features in two different sole structures.

The present disclosure provides an inflatable shock-absorbing sole structure, which includes a sole and at least one convex arranged on the sole, an airbag room is formed in the convex, and an airbag is arranged in the airbag room, the airbag room and the airbag are stretchable and compressible. The shock-absorbing sole structure further includes a built-in air-charging device, when the airbag needs to be inflated, the air-charging device can inflate it. The present disclosure provides a shock-absorbing sole structure, the airbag room and the airbag form a shock absorption system in the sole structure, which endows the sole structure a better shock absorption effect. Further, by mounting a built-in air-charging device in the sole structure, when the air bag needs to be inflated, the built-in air-charging device can inflate it.

Foot support systems include a fluid flow control system that facilitates movement of fluid into, out of, and/or within a sole structure and/or article of footwear, e.g., to change and/or control pressure in fluid filled bladder(s). Aspects of this technology may relate to one or more of: (a) footwear structures in which such systems are incorporated; (b) valve stem based fluid flow transfer systems; (c) solenoid based fluid flow transfer systems; (d) user input button features; (e) air filter features; (f) fluid tube to fluid distributor connection features; (g) fluid distributor to footwear connection features; (h) valve position sensor features; (i) valve transmission features; (j) pressure control algorithm features; (k) electronic communication features; (l) system sealing features; and/or (m) pressure sensor mounting features.
