An insole for offloading injuries on an area of a plantar surface of a patient's foot includes a body having a shape corresponding to the plantar surface of the patient's foot including a top surface and a bottom surface; and at least one supportive, deformable, deflatable bubble chamber. The at least one bubble chamber extends from the top surface of the body. The at least one bubble chamber is configured to be deflated to relieve pressure on the plantar surface of the patient's foot. A kit including the insole and an article of footwear including a sole, an upper connected about a periphery of the sole defining an interior of the article of footwear, and the insole positioned in the interior of the article, are also provided.

An article of footwear includes a sole having a bottom surface configured to contact ground when the article is worn by a wearer, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and an inwardly directed rim extending about at least a portion of a periphery of the sole. The rim defines a channel sized to receive a peripheral edge of an insole for retaining the insole over the top surface of the sole. The article also includes an upper attached to the sole defining an opening sized to receive a foot of a wearer, the upper being configured to secure the sole to the wearers' foot.

Disclosed is an article of footwear with a new insole board and insole construction, including an insole having a protrusion at a forefoot area, and a protrusion at a heel area. The protrusions respectively go through two holes of the insole board and are respectively inserted into an outsole recession area or a midsole recession area which are called a forefoot chamber and a heel chamber, and the two holes take up more than a specific percentage of the forefoot and heel area.

A cushioning element for an article of footwear includes a bladder having a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer joined together along a seam to define a chamber and a support element disposed within the chamber and having a support member and a plurality of flexible support legs each extending from a first end attached to the support member to a second end disposed between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer within the seam.

An air valve assembly and an inflatable cushion, which comprises an air storage bag, a first check valve and a second check valve. In specific application, the air valve assembly can be integrally installed on the inflatable cushion, and users can rapidly inflate inflatable products by repeatedly pressing the air storage bag. By arranging the first check valve and the second check valve, the inflatable product can be quickly inflated, and at the same time, the air of the inflatable product can be prevented from leaking to the outside during the inflation process, thus improving the air tightness of the inflatable product.

An article of footwear includes an upper for securing the article of footwear to a wearer. The footwear also includes a sole assembly operatively coupled to the upper. The sole assembly includes a bladder that contains a fluid. The bladder has a posterior portion, an anterior portion, and a middle portion disposed between the posterior and anterior portions. The posterior portion has a heel recess that is approximately coincidental with a center of a heel of the wearer. The middle portion includes a neck chamber that extends between the posterior and anterior portions. The neck chamber is elongate and has a width that is less than both the posterior and anterior portions, and the anterior portion has a plurality of toe recesses that extend generally away from the neck chamber.

Provided is an inflatable shoe insert for inserting in a shoe. The insert comprises first and second web plies that are sealed together at a plurality of seals that define an air chamber. The air chamber includes a front region having a toe expansion region uninterrupted by seals over an area so that when fully inflated, the front region expands to a height and medial-lateral width to support the shoe upper against collapsing. The air chamber further includes a retention portion having a region in which the seals are spaced closer together than in the toe expansion region so that when fully inflated, the retention portion expands to a medial-lateral width that is smaller than that in the toe expansion region, the retention portion having an anterior-posterior length that reaches the heel of the shoe to retain the front region in the toe box by pressure against the heel.
