Abstract: A ventilated walking shoe comprising a mid-sole, under the upper. The mid-sole is constituted by a felt of natural fibers and is surmounted by a perforated insole made of leather or hide. The mid-sole is arranged within a perimetric edge for connecting the upper to the insole without requiring a toe lasting machine, the heel region and/or the front region and/or the central region contain, below the mid-sole, components made of a felt of natural fibers and covered with a membrane of microporous, transpiring and waterproof material and/or with perforated components made of leather or hide at openings of the edge of a box-like rubber sole that contains the entire assembly. The openings on the edge of the sole are closed all around by the edge so as to avoid interrupting its continuity.

Abstract: An insole, for a rock climbing shoe, formed of a single piece of synthetic plastic material to follow the anatomical shape of the wearer's foot, including a first portion of constant thickness in the longitudinal direction from the heel for a predetermined distance, and a second portion extending in prolongation of the first portion and being of linearly decreasing thickness down to a minimum value at the toe of the insole, so that the insole displays a differential flexibility in the longitudinal direction, with a maximum of flexibility near the toe.
