Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a midsole structure of an athletic shoe, and more particularly, a midsole assembly having a decreased flexibility or bendability at a midfoot portion and an improved flexibility or bendability at a forefoot portion.
  • a sole for an athletic shoe used in various sports includes a midsole formed of a soft elastic material to secure cushioning properties and an outsole fitted to the bottom surface of the midsole and directly contacting the ground.
  • a corrugated sheet is inserted into a midsole and a plurality of projections extending in a general shoe elongated direction are formed at a midfoot portion of the corrugated sheet.
  • flexural rigidity of the midfoot portion of the corrugated sheet is increased and flexibility of the forefoot portion of the midsole decreases, thereby relatively improving flexibility of the forefoot portion of the midsole.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a midsole structure of an athletic shoe that can decrease flexibility or bendability of the midfoot portion and that can increase flexibility or bendability of the forefoot portion with a simple mechanism.
  • a midsole structure of a first embodiment of the present invention includes a midsole formed of a soft elastic material and having a heel portion, a midfoot portion and a forefoot portion and extending from a shoe heel region through a midfoot region to a forefoot region and a plastic shank member, or shankpiece provided at regions covering the midfoot portion of the midsole and having an oblong cross sectional shape where a dimension in a shoe elongated direction is greater than that in a vertical direction.
  • a shank member is provided at regions that cover the midfoot portion of the midsole, and the shank member has an elongated sectional shape.
  • the midfoot portion of the midsole has an increased flexural rigidity.
  • the shank member effectively exercises a so-called “shank effect” and the midsole can be prevented from being bent at the midfoot portion, thereby relatively improving cushioning properties of the shoe forefoot portion.
  • the shank member itself has a simple structure with an elongated cross sectional shape, the whole midsole structure with a shank member does not become complicated.
  • torsional rigidity of the shoe midfoot portion can also be made at a higher value, thereby restraining torsion of the shoe midfoot portion during activities.
  • a front end edge of the shank member is disposed at a rear end portion of the midsole forefoot portion, and a rear end edge of the shank member is disposed at a front end portion of the midsole heel portion.
  • the shank member covers the front end portion of the midsole heel portion to the rear end portion of the midsole forefoot portion, the shank member can more effectively exercise a shank effect, and thus, flexibility of the shoe forefoot portion can further be improved.
  • the shank member may be a tubelike member having a hole that extends in a shoe width direction.
  • the hole functions as a cushion hole, cushioning properties of the shoe midfoot portion can be improved at the time of landing onto the ground.
  • the tubelike shank member may have a flat annular cross section, a generally D-shaped cross section or semicircular cross section.
  • the shank member may be formed of an upper and lower portion.
  • the upper portion is convexly curved upwardly and has a central curved face extending in a shoe width direction.
  • the lower portion is convexly curved upwardly and has a central curved face extending in a shoe elongated direction.
  • a front and rear end edge of the upper portion is connected to a front and rear end edge of the lower portion, respectively.
  • a central curved face of the lower portion functions as a rib, and thus, the midsole is securely restrained from being bent at the midfoot portion, thereby securely improving flexibility of the shoe forefoot portion.
  • the lower portion may be a flat extending member. In this case as well, since the upper portion is curved in a direction opposite a bending direction of the shoe midsole portion, bending deformation of the midsole midfoot portion can be restrained.
  • the upper portion of the shank member may have a pair of upwardly extending flanges at opposite end edges thereof.
  • flexural rigidity of the whole shank member is set at a higher value and thus, bending deformation of the midsole midfoot portion can be more firmly restrained.
  • the flanges sandwich both ends of at least the midsole midfoot portion, which prevents the midsole midfoot portion from being deformed laterally or transversely.
  • the lower portion of the shank member may have a pair of upwardly extending flanges at opposite end edges thereof. These flanges are connected to the upper portion and close a portion of an opening of the hole in the shank member.
  • flexural rigidity of the whole shank member is set at a further higher value and thus, bending deformation of the midsole midfoot portion can be further more firmly restrained.
  • the flanges of the lower portion of the shank member may close the whole portion of an opening of the hole in the shank member.
  • flexural rigidity of the whole shank member is set at a still further higher value and thus, bending deformation of the midsole midfoot portion can be still further more firmly restrained.
