An arch support may include a base plate having a base plate top surface. The arch support may further include a contoured arch plate attached to the base plate at a joint. The arch plate may include an arch plate bottom surface. The arch plate bottom surface may face and be separated from the base plate top surface, with an extent of the separation increasing toward a medial side of the arch support.

This document discloses antistatic shoe insoles that include a flexible foam layer and antistatic filaments of textile material interspersed throughout the foam layer and extending passed or exposed at the surface of the shoe insole and methods of making such an antistatic shoe insole. The antistatic filaments are needle punched through the foam layer. The antistatic filaments may be any suitable antistatic material blended with any felt fiber such as wool fiber, cotton fiber, polyester fiber, or the like.

A shoe insole having a protruding portion for stimulating the plantar side of a foot, and both shoe insole surfaces are used. The insole contains: a flat plate-shaped base portion made of a flexible material; and a protruding portion from at least one of the first and second insole surfaces and stimulates the plantar side of a foot. The first and second insole surfaces stimulate the same portion of the right and left feet when a load is applied by the foot from the second surface where the insole is in one of right and left shoes with the first surface having the protruding portion in contact with the shoe mid-sole portion, and when a load is applied by the foot from the first surface where the shoe insole is placed in the other of right and left shoes with the second surface in contact with the mid sole portion.

A sensor system includes an airbag engaged with the sole structure of an article of footwear, the airbag configured to compress and expand during use of the article of footwear, a force sensor engaged with the airbag and configured to detect force on the airbag based on changes in capacitance as the airbag compresses and expands, a port connected to the article of footwear and configured for communication with an electronic module, and one or more conductive leads extending from the force sensor to the port to place the force sensor in communication with the port. The system may be used with an article of footwear including an upper member at least partially defining a foot-receiving chamber and a sole structure engaged with the upper member.

The lace down insole system provides a removable shoe insole using hook and loop type fasteners as a method for retaining shoelaces beneath the insole. The lace down insole may comprise a top side and a bottom side with a plurality of “male” hook and loop type fasteners strategically placed on the bottom side of the insole, allowing the original shoelaces to be placed underneath the heel portion of the insole. This allows an efficient way for allowing shoes to have the ability to slide on and off without the need for tying the shoelaces.

A shoe 1 or an inlay 3 for a shoe 1 having a pocket-like slot 7 integrated in the shoe 1 or in the inlay 3 for at least one wedge-like insert 8, 9, which provides a good structure and corresponding support for the human foot 50 or longitudinal arch 51. The insert 8, 9 is fixed in the pocket-like slot 7, so that it always retains its optimal support position for the foot 50 even with changing loads.

The present invention relates to a high heeled shoe 1 having a forefoot section 5, an arch section 7 and a heel section 6, the high heeled shoe 1 comprising a constructive sole 2, a heel 8, directly or indirectly attached to a lower surface 3 of the heel section 6 of the constructive sole 2; an upper part 9, attached to the constructive sole 2 such that the upper part 9 and the constructive sole 2 together form an enclosure configured to receive and hold a foot in a specific configuration and an insole 10 comprising auxetic material.

The invention relates to a shoe insert comprising a cover layer, a damping layer, and an absorbent core for receiving a liquid fragrance, wherein the damping layer has a depression on its upper side for receiving the absorbent core, wherein the cover layer is arranged above, and covers, the damping layer and the absorbent core, wherein the layers are connected to one another, and wherein a hole-shaped recess is formed in the cover layer in the region of the absorbent core for supplying the absorbent core with liquid fragrances.

A wearable container containing a composite which has an alternating pattern containing groupings of woven fabric and groupings of biaxially oriented thermoplastic films. The composite has a thickness of less than about 5 mm. Each grouping of woven fabric contains at least one woven fabric layer, each woven fabric layer containing tape elements having a base layer of a strain oriented olefin polymer disposed between covering layers of a heat fusible olefin polymer. Each grouping of biaxially oriented thermoplastic films contain at least one biaxially oriented thermoplastic film which has a core layer of thermoplastic disposed between covering layers of a thermoplastic able to bond to polypropylene.

Designs and compositions of insoles for footwear are described herein. The insoles may be customized for a given foot. In some examples, the insole (100) includes a base comprising a variable thickness component (205), a directional stiffness component, a stability component, and a reinforcement component. The base may be a single composition that is manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques.
