Abstract: Example shoe manufacturing methods and related computer readable medium for implementing a portion of said manufacturing methods are disclosed herein. In some examples, the method includes placing an upper member about an upper portion of a last, wherein the last is a form for the shoe. In addition, the method includes producing a lasting based on data relating to a foot of a user, and attaching the lasting to the upper member, wherein the lasting extends over a lower portion of the last. Further, the method includes molding a sole onto the lasting and the upper member, and removing the last from the upper member.

Abstract: According to examples, machine-readable instructions in a computer-readable medium may cause a processor to generate code representing a cavity to be formed in an object, generate code representing a first lattice structure to be formed in the object directly above the cavity, and generate code representing a second lattice structure to be formed in the object in an area adjacent to the first lattice structure, in which the first lattice structure may be stiffer than the second lattice structure. In addition, the processor may output the generated codes, in which a three-dimensional (3D) fabrication system may fabricate the object according to the generated codes.

Abstract: Example shoe manufacturing methods and related computer readable medium for implementing a portion of said manufacturing methods are disclosed herein. In some examples, the method includes producing a lower portion of a last based on data relating to a foot of a user. In addition, the method includes placing an upper member about the last such that a lasting of the upper member extends over the lower portion of the last. Further, the method includes producing a midsole element based on the data relating to the foot of the user, and attaching the midsole element to the upper member such that the lasting is disposed between the lower portion of the last and the midsole element.

Abstract: An example article of footwear includes a forward midsole component, a rearward midsole component, and a bridge component mated with an outsole side of the forward midsole component and an outsole side of the rearward midsole component to permanently attach the forward midsole component and the rearward midsole component to form a midsole of the article of footwear.

Abstract: An example article includes a baffle to be inserted into a mold cavity of a mold for a midsole of an article of footwear. The baffle is to divide the mold cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The baffle is to isolate a first material injected into the first sub-cavity from a second material injected into the second sub-cavity. The second material has a differing material property to the first material.

Abstract: In some examples, an assembly for a footwear includes a cell comprising a housing structure, the cell comprising a first chamber to contain a fluid. The assembly further includes a port and a vibrator responsive to activation to cause a reduction in fluid flow through the port between the first chamber and a second chamber by changing a characteristic of the fluid in the port.

Abstract: An example physical last includes a body having a bottom region. The physical last also includes a fitting attachable to the bottom region to define a component of a shoe. The fitting is manufactured based on three dimensional (3D) scan data of a foot of a customer and pressure data associated with the foot of the customer.

Abstract: In some examples, a sole layer for a footwear includes a housing structure, a cell in the housing structure, a solid support inside the cell to maintain a shape of the cell, and an inlet to the cell to receive an injected material to dissolve the solid support.

Abstract: An example milling machine includes a base and a receiving platform mounted to the base to receive a first workpiece and a second workpiece. The receiving platform is moveable along a first axis. The milling machine also includes a support platform mounted to the base, a first plurality of milling bits to cut the first workpiece, and a second plurality of milling bits to cut the second workpiece. The first plurality of milling bits and the second plurality of milling bits are moveable along a second axis via the support platform. Each milling bit of the first plurality of milling bits and the second plurality of milling bits is to move along a third axis independently.
