Abstract: A sole for a running shoe having an elastic midsole, the midsole having a plurality of channels extending in the transverse direction of the midsole and arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the midsole, at least some of the channels each including an opening on the lateral side and/or on the medial side in the midsole; a front boundary and a rear boundary in the cross section along a cross sectional plane in the longitudinal direction of the midsole and perpendicularly to the transverse direction of the midsole, as well as a main longitudinal axis, along which the channels in each case extend in a slot-like manner from their respective rear boundary to their respective front boundary in such a way that the lateral-side and/or medial-side opening of the channels narrows along the main longitudinal axis from the rear boundary to the front boundary.

Abstract: A sole for a running shoe having a soft-elastic midsole includes an underside coming at least partially into contact with the ground during running. The midsole includes a plurality of channels extending in the transverse direction arranged in a lateral area of the midsole in a horizontal plane. At least a portion of the channels is arranged in the forefoot area and/or at least a portion of the channels is arranged in the midfoot area and/or at least a portion of the channels is arranged in the heel area of the midsole. The channels are each delimited in the longitudinal direction by a front wall and a rear wall and have an elongated shape in cross-section along the running direction. The channels are deformable vertically and/or horizontally in the longitudinal direction until their closure under the action of forces occurring during running acting vertically and/or in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A midsole (1) for a running shoe extending in a longitudinal direction (L), a vertical direction (V) and a transverse direction (T), includes a plurality of separate viscoelastic block elements (41, 42, 43) being along the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole (1) arranged one after the other, wherein the viscoelastic block elements (41, 42, 43) are separated from each other by a plurality of slits. The viscoelastic block elements (41, 42, 43) and the slits are configured such that the base layer (3) and the top layer (2) of the midsole (1) are along the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole (1) sheared against each other upon exposure to forces occurring during running, which act against the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole (1).

Abstract: A shoe including a shoe tip and a heel edge and a lacing system, wherein the lacing system includes lacing comprising two end regions and a middle region adjoining between the end regions on respective branching points, and wherein the lacing branches into a first strand and a second strand at the branching points. The shoe includes a holder with holding structure pairs for fastening the lacing having a medial-side and an opposite holding structure arranged on the lateral side. The holder includes from the shoe tip first holding region at least one holding structure pair and an adjoining second holding region arranged in the direction of the heel edge including at least two holding structure pairs. The first strand is fastened to the holding structure pairs in the first holding region, and the second strand is fastened to the holding structure pairs in the second holding region.

Abstract: A method for production and a sole element (1) includes one or more tubular channel structures (3, 4) wherein a cured fiber composition which includes fibers and a resin is introduced into the one or more tubular channel structures (3, 4).

Abstract: An adjustment unit (1) with a main body and an adjustment unit hook element (3) protruding from the main body which can be used in an adjustment device (1), as well as a wearable article with such a fastening device (100).

Abstract: A shoe sole (1) for a sport shoe, the shoe sole including a midsole (2) with a forefoot area, a heel area and a midfoot area being arranged between the forefoot area and the heel area. The midsole includes a heel edge (21) and a midsole tip (22), wherein a longitudinal direction (LO) of the midsole (2) extends from the heel edge (21) to the midsole tip (22). The midsole further includes a top layer (23) and a base layer (24), wherein the midsole defines a plurality of recessed pockets (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) which are open towards the top layer and wherein at least a some of the recessed pockets (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are in the longitudinal direction (LO) arranged one after another.

Abstract: A strobel unit (1) for a shoe includes a plate element (2) having a bottom layer (21) and a top layer (22), and textile sheet (3), wherein the textile sheet (3) defines a textile flange portion (31), wherein the textile flange portion (31) completely peripherally surrounds the plate element (2) and wherein the textile sheet (3) is fixedly attached to the plate element (2) along a circumferential rim connection section (23) of the plate element (2). Furthermore, a shoe with such a strobel unit and a method for producing such a strobel unit is disclosed.

Abstract: A shoe (1) including a sole unit (2) and an upper (3). The upper (2) forms a foot accommodation compartment (9), and the upper (3) and the sole unit (2) are connected to each other by a removable connection element (4), wherein the connection element (4) is configured such that it can be removed from the shoe (1) upon which the upper (3) and the sole unit (2) are separated from each other. One or more components may then be recycled.

Abstract: A midsole unit (1) for a shoe (100) including a midsole (2) having a top layer (3) and base layer (4), wherein the midsole (2) defines a plurality of base layer grooves (5a-5c) extending at the base layer (4) of the midsole (2), wherein the midsole (2) includes a plurality of block elements (6d, 6e) which are defined and separated from each other by the plurality of base layer grooves (5a-5c), wherein the midsole (2) further defines a plurality of top layer grooves (7a-7c) extending at the top layer (3) of the midsole (2). The midsole unit further includes a rigidifying structure.
