Contoured insole construction

Abstract

A contoured insole construction is a single-piece insole construction which is contoured at about a foot receiving area thereof including an integrally formed raised foot receiving base region bounded by a lower outer lip perimeter region. In an alternative embodiment, the single-piece insole construction which is contoured at about the foot receiving area thereof includes a raised outer lip perimeter region and a lowered foot-receiving base region bounded by said raised outer lip perimeter region.

1 - 13 . (canceled)  
   
   
       14 . An insole product formed by a method of construction, comprising: 
 moving a sheet of continuous material along a cutting path by a pair of closely spaced apart form factor rollers;    using said pair of form factor rollers to simultaneously deform said sheet of continuous material and to guide a flexible continuous knife belt into cutting engagement with said sheet along a desired contour formed by said pair of form factor rollers to separate a contoured single piece footwear construction from sheet of continuous material.    
   
   
       15 . The insole product according to  claim 14 , wherein said contoured single-piece footwear construction is a contoured single piece insole.  
   
   
       16 . The insole product according to  claim 15 , wherein said contoured single-piece insole includes a raised outer lip perimeter region and a lowered foot-receiving base region bounded by said raised outer lip perimeter region.  
   
   
       17 . The insole product according to  claim 15 , wherein said contoured single-piece insole includes a raised foot receiving base region bounded by a lowered outer lip perimeter region.  
   
   
       18 - 21 . (canceled)  
   
   
       22 . (canceled)  
   
   
       23 . An insole product, comprising: 
 an single-piece insole construction;    wherein said single-piece insole construction is contoured at about a foot receiving area thereof.    
   
   
       24 . The insole product according to  claim 23 , wherein said single piece insole construction is integrally formed and includes a raised foot receiving base region bounded by a lower outer lip perimeter region.  
   
   
       25 . The insole product according to  claim 23 , wherein said single piece insole construction is integrally formed and includes a raised outer lip perimeter region and a lowered foot-receiving base region bounded by said raised outer lip perimeter region.  
   
   
       26 . A contoured footwear construction product, comprising: 
 a cut away portion of a sheet of continuous material;    wherein said sheet of continuous material is transferred along a cutting path by a pair of closely spaced apart form factor rollers which simultaneously deform the sheet of continuous material, guide a flexible continuous knife belt disposed within the cutting path into cutting engagement with the continuous sheet along a desired contour formed by the pair of rollers; and    wherein the contoured footwear construction is separated from the sheet of continuous material.    
   
   
       27 . The contoured footwear construction according to  claim 26 , wherein said contoured footwear construction is a single-piece construction.
