A plate for an article of footwear includes a substrate, a first strand portion attached to the substrate via first stitching, and a second strand portion disposed on the first layer. The first strand portion includes first segments that each extend between two different locations along the substrate to form a first layer on the substrate. The second strand portion includes second segments that each extend between two different locations along the substrate to form a second layer on the first layer.

Articles of wear having one or more textiles that include a low processing temperature polymeric composition and a high processing temperature polymeric composition, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The low processing temperature polymeric composition and the high processing temperature polymeric composition can be selectively incorporated into a textile to provide one or more structural properties and/or other advantageous properties to the article. The textile can be thermoformed to impart such structural and/or other advantageous properties to the article of wear. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

An article of footwear can include an upper. The upper includes a knitted portion having yarns partially fused to adjacent yarns and filaments of the partially fused yarns that are partially fused to adjacent filaments. Methods for manufacturing an article of footwear including an upper having a partially fused knitted portion are also described.

A method for manufacturing an article of footwear, the article of footwear comprising at least one shell, the shape of which is set by external heating, the manufacturing method comprising a reference step in which a first shell is positioned on a last, the first shell comprising at least one at least partially hot-melt or thermoformable material, the last extending lengthwise from a rear end to a front end, widthwise between a lateral side and a medial side, and heightwise from a base to a top. The manufacturing method comprises at least one manufacturing step, subsequent to the reference step, the manufacturing step comprising at least one operation of hot-pressing at least a portion of the surface of the first shell arranged on the last.

Non-toxin adhesiveless slipper includes an upper portion and a lower portion; wherein the upper portion and the lower portion are bonded with each other by an adhesive film. A processing method for bonding an upper portion and a lower portion together, including steps of: a. heat melting the EVA and the EAA to form a fluid compound, and blowing the fluid compound on a bottom surface of the upper portion to form an adhesive film; b. placing an isolated paper on the adhesive film; c. placing the upper portion into a heat-pressing machine to ensure the adhesive film and isolated paper securely attached on the bottom surface of the upper portion; d. placing a rubber sheet on a mold to process a heat pressing and then removing the remaining rubber on the contours of the mold to form the lower portion; e. placing the upper portion and the lower portion into a sectional die, and then processing the heat-pressing.

A healthcare footwear article includes an upper shoe body and a sole member provided underneath the upper shoe body and is connected with the upper shoe body to form an integral body. The upper shoe body and the sole member is configured from a material consisting of approximately 70% to approximately 80% of silicon rubber by weight, approximately 5% to approximately 20% of negative ion powder by weight, approximately 2% to approximately 7% of antiwear agent by weight, approximately 5% to approximately 20% of titanium powder by weight, approximately 0.1% to approximately 1.5% of vulcanizing agent by weight, approximately 5% to approximately 10% of infrared ray powder by weight, and approximately 0.1% to approximately 8% of dye by weight.

An EVA sole having an upper face and a bottom, comprising an inscribed channel and a plurality of recesses positioned on the upper face, a TPU material disposed of within the inscribed channel, and a nylon stabilizer, which is bonded to the upper face inside of the inscribed channel.

A production method of glueless pasted integrally modeling sole comprising the following steps: taking a rubber outsole compound in a mold to perform partial vulcanization; taking a midsole compound in the mold to simultaneously perform pressurizing and heating together with the rubber outsole compound that has been partially vulcanized to simultaneously generate more vulcanization of the rubber outsole compound and foaming reaction of the midsole compound and occurring adhesion; and completing glueless adhering and pasting for the rubber outsole and the foaming midsole after the mold is cooled down so as to obtain a sole finished product. Accordingly, it can greatly reduce the procedure of forming soles, decrease labor force at great quantity and energy use, and reduce the proportion of producing waste and also achieves the efficacies of reducing costs and energy saving and carbon reduction at the same time.

Improved soles and insoles for shoes, in particular sports shoes, are described. In an aspect, a sole for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, with at least a first and a second surface region is provided. The first surface region comprises expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”). The second surface region is free from expanded TPU.
