An article of footwear comprising an upper (2) provided with an inner sole (3) and the upper (2) and inner sole (3) delimiting a cavity (4) for receiving a foot. A first sole (5) covering at least parts of the inner sole (3), said first sole (5) being made in one continuous piece and comprising through-going sole holes (8). The inner sole (3) comprises a mesh directly attached to the upper (2) and comprises a first inner sole surface turning towards the cavity (4) defining the bottom of the cavity. The through-going sole holes (8) are covered at least partly by the mesh and provide a fluid communication between the cavity (4) and the outside of the second sole surface, thereby allowing liquid such as water to run through the sole holes (8) between the cavity (4) and the outside of the footwear.

An upper for a shoe, where said shoe comprises said upper and a sole connected to the lower edge of the upper via injection molding, the upper including knitted areas with a low stitch density providing ventilation through the upper, where the lower edge is knitted with a high stitch density, thereby limiting the flow of molding material through the edge of the knitted upper.

A sports shoe includes an upper wherein a majority by weight of the upper is made from a thermoplastic base material and a sole wherein a majority by weight of the sole is made from the same thermoplastic base material. The sole and the upper are individually fabricated and joined to each other. The thermoplastic base material includes at least one of the following materials: thermoplastic polyurethane TPU, polyamide PA, polyethylene terephthalate PET, or polybutylene terephthalate PBT.

A footwear moulding system for direct injection production of footwear includes a supporting mould, a last, an in-mould, and an injection channel. The supporting mould includes at least an in-mould support. The in-mould is elastomeric and the in-mould includes an in-mould outer surface configured to be supported by said in-mould support. The in-mould support includes at least one support side mould and a support bottom mould.

Example shoe manufacturing methods and related computer readable medium for implementing a portion of said manufacturing methods are disclosed herein. In some examples, the method includes producing a lower portion of a last based on data relating to a foot of a user. In addition, the method includes placing an upper member about the last such that a lasting of the upper member extends over the lower portion of the last. Further, the method includes producing a midsole element based on the data relating to the foot of the user, and attaching the midsole element to the upper member such that the lasting is disposed between the lower portion of the last and the midsole element.

Sole structures including a plate including a first polyolefin resin, and an edge portion comprising a second resin are disclosed herein. The edge portion is more flexible or less rigid than the plate. Articles of footwear formed from the sole structures are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, edge portions, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the first polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier.

The present application discloses a shoe heating apparatus including abase with a heating unit, and a thermally insulative body, wherein the bottom of the base is shaped as bottom of a foot such that it fits with a shoe sole.

Articles of footwear and methods of making articles of footwear including one or more continuous threads wound around anchor points. The winding of the one or more continuous threads forms a thread pattern that imparts desired characteristics to components of the article of footwear. Thread lines of the thread pattern may be bonded together. In some embodiments, thread lines may be bonded with a bonding layer.
