Patent number: 10085515Abstract: A shoe including a waterproof and vapor-permeable sole and an assembly associated in an upper region with respect to the sole. The assembly includes: an external vapor-permeable upper, an internal lining and, interposed between them, a first waterproof and vapor-permeable functional element, and a perforated or vapor-permeable insole, which is joined in a perimetric region at least to the lining. A flexible waterproof element is associated in a lower region with respect to the insole, at least partially perforated or vapor-permeable at a vapor permeation area, the sole being joined perimetrically to form a seal to the assembly and to the flexible element.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: GEOX S.p.A.Inventors: Mario Polegato Moretti, Livio Poloni, Bruno Mattioni

Patent number: 9907352Abstract: A waterproof breathable sole for shoes, which comprises, for at least part of its extension, at least two structural layers, a lower one provided with a supporting structure so as to form the tread, and an upper one that is permeable to water vapor. The lower layer has portions that are open onto the upper layer. A coating obtained by means of a plasma deposition treatment for waterproofing is provided on the upper layer. A layer is thus obtained that has structural functions and characteristics of resistance to damage and is at the same time waterproof and breathable.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: GEOX S.p.A.Inventors: Mario Polegato Moretti, Antonio Ferrarese, Bruno Mattioni
