Abstract: A process for fabricating shoes having an outer cork sole insert includes processing raw cork into sheets of predetermined thickness, adhering a thin fabric sheet to one side of the intermediate cork sheets, cutting out cork/fabric sole inserts and placing them into an injection mold, and cycling the plastic injection mold so as to form a cork insert into the plastic sole.

Abstract: A shoe and a process for fabricating high-heeled shoes or pumps incorporates Strobel technology having an upper outer material with a lower end region of the outer material located in a lower upper end region, an upper lining material, which is arranged on the inner side of the upper outer material, incorporates a functional layer and has a lower end region of the lining material, the end region of the lining material having a lining edge that is not covered by the upper outer material, and a connecting band, resulting in a comfortable high-heeled shoe that can be worn all day and reduces foot stress over conventional high-heeled shoes.
