    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an article of footwear utilizes an insole body. A mask is attached to a lower surface of the insole body so as to cover a substantial portion of the lower surface. A coating is applied to the insole body with the mask attached thereto to cover exposed surfaces of the insole body. Thereafter the mask is removed from the insole body to expose the substantial portion of the lower surface. The insole body is adhesively attached along the lower surface to an upper surface of an outsole. Preferably at least part of the exposed lower surface of the insole body is adhesively attached to the upper surface of the outsole.

  • Patent number: 6516541
    Abstract: A shoe comprises a flexible outersole, an insole and an upper, the upper being formed from a flat Thermo Plastic Rubber blank, a toe cap first being fabricated in the blank by means of a teacup crease special-use sewing machine, the blank or preform subsequently affixed to a last and joined by a second special purpose sewing machine, or disc feed overseaming machine, to a non-woven fabric midsole or insole, substantially completing the upper. Thermal processing on the resulting preform completes processing of the upper without use of an insole board. A third element of the shoe, the outersole, is unitary in construction, and equipped with a unique pattern of intersecting grooves, as well as an external bridge or instep support in lieu of an inner steel shank. Following bonding of the upper and the outersole, a shoe of unique flexibility is produced, while still providing adequate protection to an active user's foot.

  • Patent number: 6484889
    Abstract: A display support or mount for shoes includes a first portion for supporting a first shoe of a pair in a generally upside-down orientation to enable display of a sole of the first shoe. A second portion of the display mount supports a second shoe of the pair in a different orientation. The two portion of the shoe display support are connected to one another. The first portion of the shoe display support includes a substantially planar panel or surface for engaging an ankle lip or rim of the first shoe and further includes an inclined panel coupled to the planar panel for engaging a metatarsal or upper portion of the first shoe. In addition, the first support further includes a substantially vertical panel or wall connected at least indirectly to the planar surface and the inclined surface. The vertical panel or wall serves as a stop or arrest holding a respective shoe from sliding off of the inclined panel or surface.
