  • Publication number: 20170143073
    Abstract: The shoe sole comprises a flexible chamber therein with an inlet and an outlet. The shoe sole also comprises an inlet valve assigned to the inlet, and an outlet valve assigned to the outlet. The flexible chamber is arranged in the front region of the shoe sole, where an air inlet space is provided. The air inlet space is connected by the inlet valve to the chamber which is open to the environment via openings in the insole. The chamber is connected by the outlet valve to the outlet on the outer face of the shoe sole outside the insole. The chamber is filled almost completely with an elastically deformable material which absorbs air during its elastic expansion and releases air that has been previously absorbed during its compression. In this way, an air circulation that feels comfortable to the foot can be achieved in the shoe having this sole.
