Publication number: 20240122296Abstract: Footwear includes a sole portion that supports a foot sole of a foot of a wearer, the sole portion including a ground contact surface and a shock absorbing portion formed of an elastic body. The shock absorbing portion includes a three-dimensional mesh structure portion in which a plurality of unit structures are repeatedly arranged so as to be adjacent to each other and an irregularly shaped portion that has a different shape from each of the unit structures and is at least partially embedded in the three-dimensional mesh structure portion. The irregularly shaped portion includes a protruding plate portion in which a central portion protrudes relative to a peripheral edge portion in a direction orthogonal to the ground contact surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Yuka MATSUHISA, Seiji YANO, Kenji HIRATA, Genki HATANO

Publication number: 20240122295Abstract: Footwear includes a shell including an outsole portion; and a sole body including a footbed portion. The footbed portion includes a shock absorbing portion formed of a three-dimensional mesh structure body so as to extend to a peripheral surface of the footbed portion. An engaged portion is disposed in an inner side surface of the outsole portion, and an engaging portion is disposed in a portion of the shock absorbing portion that corresponds to the peripheral surface. One of the engaged portion and the engaging portion is a protruding portion while the other one of the engaged portion and the engaging portion is a cutout portion provided as a recessed portion or a hole portion. An occupied volume ratio of a region including at least a portion defining the engaging portion in the shock absorbing portion is locally increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Yuka MATSUHISA, Seiji YANO, Kenji HIRATA, Genki HATANO
