A pair of waterproof and breathable sea fishing trousers having a titanium alloy heat insulation layer essentially includes: an outer layer, a breathable membrane layer, a titanium alloy heat insulation layer, and an inner layer. The titanium alloy heat insulation layer is made of titanium alloy, tin, or aluminum alloy rubber, disposed between the breathable membrane layer and the inner layer, and can reflect body heat of the user. The user's body heat is accumulated in the inner layer and is released again to the user's body to keep the user warm, thereby avoiding the fisherman's temperature loss. Besides, the pair of fishing trousers is breathable and waterproof, making the fisherman feel comfortable to wear.

A method of making a moisture-permeable waterproof shoe includes: cutting a substrate to form a cut piece having a main body and two wing portions; ultrasonically welding rear mating edges of the main body, wing lateral edges of the wing portions, front and rear curved edges of each wing portion respectively to a front convex portion and a lateral connecting edge of the main body to form a shoe-like inner sleeve: sleeving the inner sleeve on a shoe last; coating an adhesive on an inner surface of an upper; sleeving the upper on the shoe last and heating the assembly to form a moisture-permeable waterproof foot cover; and fixing a bottom portion of the moisture-permeable waterproof foot cover to a sole.

An article of footwear (10) that includes a liner (30), an upper (14), and an insert (50). The liner has an inward surface (31) that encloses an inner void (18) for accommodating a foot, and an outward surface (32) that defines a rear shaft portion (38), a heel portion (36), and a sole portion (35). The upper has a midsole portion (42), and surrounds the rear shaft portion, the sole portion, and the heel portion of the liner. The insert is formed as a single body of material with increased hardness and stiffness relative to the upper. This insert is arranged between the liner and the upper, and includes a protruding portion (54), a heel counter (56), and a shank (58). The protruding portion extends upwards from the heel counter and along the rear shaft portion, and provides a guiding trajectory for a heel during insertion into the inner void.

The present technology relates generally to a footwear assembly and method of manufacturing said footwear assembly. The footwear assembly includes an outsole and an upper connected to the outsole, where the upper includes a neoprene sock, a vulcanized rubber layer, and an injection molded layer. The neoprene sock is a full-foot neoprene sock having a foot portion that is configured to receive a wearer's foot. The vulcanized rubber layer fully covers a vamp portion, heel portion, toe portion, and ankle portion of the neoprene sock while only covering some of an underfoot portion. The injection molded layer is formed over a portion of the vulcanized rubber layer and completely covers the underfoot portion of the neoprene sock.

A disposable waterproof bootsock is worn over foot and sock to protect from exposure to liquids, dirt and other contaminants in an environment that can penetrate footwear or reach above the ankle. The bootsock is secured about the wearer's calf and ankle using fasteners that accommodate a range of calf and ankle sizes and allow adjustment to the wearer's desired fit while maintaining the bootsock in position upright. One or more sealed compartments are provided to hold essential supplies.

An article includes a first garment, a second garment, and a waterproof fastener system configured to join the first garment to the second. The waterproof fastener includes: a first annular gasket, coupled to the first garment, the first annular gasket including a flexible substrate and a continuous groove radially oriented on the first garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first garment, and a second annular gasket coupled to the second garment, the second annular gasket including a second flexible substrate and a continuous rib radially oriented on the second garment such that an engagement direction thereof is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second garment. The continuous groove is configured to receive the continuous rib to form a waterproof interference fit.

A woven or non-woven textile for an upper of an article of footwear, methods for making the woven and non-woven textiles, and a method of making the article of footwear is described. The textile includes a first portion formed by a first yarn or fiber having durable water repellent properties and a second portion formed by a second yarn or fiber different from the first yarn or fiber. The second yarn or fiber is disposed along an edge portion of the textile configured to be attached to a sole structure to form an article of footwear. The woven textile is formed of unitary woven construction, and the non-woven textile is formed of unitary non-woven construction.

Flexible shoe extending between rear and front ends, between lateral and medial sides, and between the sole assembly and an upper end of an upper. The upper includes an outer shell including an inner and outer layers, the latter having a foot insertion opening with rear and front divisions, the latter extending between lateral and medial edges. A device tightens the upper by bringing the lateral edge toward the medial edger. The inner layer extends opposite the outer layer and in the area of the front division of the foot insertion opening, between the lateral and medial edges. The inner layer is liquid-impermeable and flexible. When the lateral and medial edges of the outer layer are brought toward one another, the distance between the lateral and medial edges is shorter than the portion of the inner layer in the area of the front division or the foot insertion opening.
