Abstract
This invention consists of a support for the foot to be placed inside a footwear during its manufacturing, by sticking it between the lower and upper insole, or inside a finished shoe as a removable insole. Said support is characterized in that it's equipped with a ticker portion ( 3 ) of few millimetres in the central part of the foot, corresponding to the zone where the natural concave area of the foot sole between the heel and the tip rests. In this way it's possible to increase the resting surface of the foot and both the rest and the walk result more comfortable.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 ) Support for the foot to be placed inside a footwear in order to increase the resting surface of the same foot, characterized in that it comprises a convex portion ( 3 ) developing in longitudinal direction in the central part of the foot, so as to compensate the natural concave area of the foot sole between the heel and the tip.
2 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is placed inside the shoe at a prefixed distance from the heel, so that the convex portion results under the point of the footwear where the concave part of the foot presses.
3 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, in order to reduce the pressure exerted by the body weight on the sole surfaces, it is made of latex or other soft and elastic material, however resistant enough to compression.
4 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it can be placed into the shoe directly during its manufacturing, so becoming integral part of the footwear, being placed between its lower and upper insole.
5 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it is stuck between the lower and upper insole.
6 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it has a smooth outline, so as to be better attached to the lower insole.
7 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it may take the shape of a removable insole to be put or removed from the shoe, without being permanently fixed to it, said insole being equipped with the convex portion ( 3 ) that, once inserted over the upper insole, results under the point of the footwear where the concave part of the foot presses.
8 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it has an analogous shape as the one of the foot sole, being more or less defined at the tip depending on the insertion during manufacturing or as a removable insole.
9 ) Support according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is made by stamping.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
