Abstract

A shoe transpiring upper wherein it comprises at least one transpiration system consisting of: a portion of perforated upper for the passage of air; an intermediate element in water-impermeable and air-transpiring material for covering the internal side of said perforated portion and attached with its peripheral edge along a line of the internal side of the upper surrounding said perforated portion; and a final element in naturally air-transpiring material or rendered transpiring by means of holes through its thickness for covering said intermediate element and attached with its peripheral edge along the peripheral contacting linea between said perforated portion and said intermediate element for the protection of said intermediate element; and wherein the attachment of at least one of said intermediate element or final element is water-impermeable or water-proofed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
CLAIMS:  
     
         1 . A shoe transpiring upper wherein it comprises at least one transpiration system consisting of: 
 a portion of perforated upper for the passage of air;    an intermediate element in water-impermeable and air-transpiring material for covering the internal side of said perforated portion and attached with its peripheral edge along a line of the internal side of the upper surrounding said perforated portion; and    a final element in naturally air-transpiring material or rendered transpiring by means of holes through its thickness for covering said intermediate element and attached with its peripheral edge along the peripheral contacting linea between said perforated portion and said intermediate element for the protection of said intermediate element;    and wherein the attachment of at least one of said intermediate element or final element is water-impermeable or water-proofed.    
     
     
         2 . An upper accoding to the previous claim, wherein said attachments of said intermediate and final elements are made by stitching or gluing or welding.  
     
     
         3 . An upper according to any one of the previous claims, wherein said perforated portion of the upper extends over a zone of the upper or over the whole upper.  
     
     
         4 . An upper according to any one of the previous claims, wherein said upper comprises a transpiration system provided at the internal side part of the upper in a substantially central position of the latter.  
     
     
         5 . An upper according to any one of the previous claims, wherein said intermediate element is preferably in Goretex™ or Simpatex™ or another equivalent transpiring and impermeable material.
