The shoe for bicycle competition, with a first member having a convex portion projecting on the bottom with the mounting surface to which a cleat is mounted for position adjustment, covering the heel, the side, and the sole of the feet integrally, the cleat for fixing to a bicycle pedal detachable, and the second member covering the sole to close the opening located on the opposite side of the convex portion. The first member forms an undercut shape with its lateral width narrower upward for the heel of the foot only to move forward, and the third member and the first member share the overlapping portion at least on the side surface of the foot, and by tightening the third member, be integrated by deformation and friction to form a monocoque structure.

A plurality of orthotic systems are provided. One bi-layer system is constructed from a single sheet of fabric that is molded into two layers. One tri-layer system includes a base layer; a mid-layer; and an upper layer. The upper layer is joined to the mid-layer and the mid-layer is joined to the base layer. The coupling of the base layer, the mid-layer and the upper layer create a rear spring section, a mid-spring section and a front spring section in which the upper layer is suspended over the mid-layer and the heel portion is suspended on the proximal heel end of the base layer.

The present invention describes a shaped footwear device intended to be used as a supportive insole or orthotic and a system and methods for making the same. The footwear device includes a top foam layer, a light-cured composite material layer, and a bottom textile layer. The footwear device is created by conforming a pre-cured insole assembly to the plantar surface of a foot or foot mold and then exposing the pre-cured insole assembly to light to create a shaped footwear device with a light-cured composite material support plate.

A system may include a bottom layer and a sensing layer disposed on a first side of the bottom layer. The first sensing layer may include a first sensing element and a second sensing element. The first sensing element and the second sensing element may include one of: a force sensing element, a strain sensing element, a motion sensing element, or an environmental sensing element. The first sensing element and the second sensing element may be of a different type of sensing element. The system may also include a communications interface configured to couple the sensing layer with a host controller.
