Air-flow-sole-pump

Abstract

This technology initiates a new approach to the effort of reducing the moisture level on the inside of shoes as well as increasing the oxygen level inside shoes, both environmental factors long recognized as effecting the development of foot related bacterial and fungal problems. The AIR-FLOW-SOLE-PUMP is unique in its pro-active mechanism that utilizes a very small amount of the energy expended in walking, realized as pressure on the heel, directed to force fresh air through the innards of the shoe.
