boot 10 having a welted construction. It should be appreciated that the article of footwear according to the principles of the present disclosure is applicable to many different types of welted footwear (e.g., dress shoes, athletic shoes, winter boots, sandals, hiking boots, etc.). - Referring to
FIG. 1 , theboot 10 includes anupper portion 12 connected to anoutsole 14 via awelt 16. Theupper portion 12 of an article of footwear is configured to hold theoutsole 14 to a foot. In the depicted embodiment theupper portion 12 is also configured to protect a foot and an ankle of the person wearing the boot. In the depicted embodiment theupper portion 12 is constructed of leather. Many other materials can also be used in the construction of the upper portion 12 (e.g., canvas, nylon, etc.). - The
outsole 14 is configured to engage the ground surface. In particular, theoutsole 14 in the depicted embodiment includes abottom surface 54 that is configured to contact the ground surface. In the depicted embodiment thebottom surface 54 includes a tread surface that provides grip. In the depicted embodiment the outsole includes a shock absorbing material (e.g., soft rubber, foam, gel, etc.) that is molded to thebottom surface 54. In alternative embodiments, the shock absorbing material may be the same material that contacts the ground surface. Also, it should be appreciated that the outsole can also include stiff material such as wood, plastic, metal or a combination of materials to provide auxiliary support in the midfoot portion of the footwear. The construction of theoutsole 14 is described in greater detail below. - Referring to
FIGS. 2-10 , an exploded assembly view theboot 10 is shown. Theboot 10 includes afoot support platform 18 that is connected to thewelt 16 and theoutsole 14. In some embodiments thefoot support platform 18 supports a removablefoot bed cushion 20, which contacts the user's foot. In other embodiments the user's foot directly contacts thefoot support platform 18 or non-removable (e.g., stitched and/or cemented) foot bed cushion materials are provided over thefoot support platform 18. In the depicted embodiment thefoot support platform 18 includes a first surface 22 (an upper surface) and a second surface 24 (a lower surface). Thefoot support platform 18 includes a downwardly extendingrib 26 which extends from the second surface adjacent aperiphery edge 28 of thefoot support platform 18. In the depicted embodiment therib 26 includes anouter side wall 32 that is radiused to theperiphery edge 28 and aninner side wall 34 that is generally vertical. The shape of theouter side wall 32 minimizes or eliminates the gaps between theupper portion 12 and therib 26 where they are stitched together. - In the depicted embodiment the
foot support platform 18 is molded and therib 26 is integrally molded to thefoot support platform 18. In the depicted embodiment a pliable material 30 (e.g., fabric) is molded to thesecond surface 24 and to a portion of therib 26. Thepliable material 30 can be any material that can make the rib 26 more tear resistance when molded thereto (e.g., a pliable material made by weaving, felting, knitting). It should be appreciated that the pliable material can be a fabric made of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. - In the depicted embodiment, the
pliable material 30 is molded through a portion of therib 26 such that a portion of the lower portion of therib 26 is on one side of thepliable material 30, and another portion of therib 26 is on the other side of the fabric material. In the depicted embodiment thepliable material 30 is present on both theinner side wall 34 and theouter side wall 32 of therib 26. The pliable material provides therib 26 improved tear resistance. In the depicted embodiment, thepliable material 30 is placed in a mold and polymeric molten material is molded to thepliable material 30. In the area of therib 26 the molten material is molded through thepliable material 30, which results in portions of therib 26 being on either side of thepliable material 30. It should be appreciated that in alternative embodiments, thefabric 30 is molded over therib 26 such that the fabric covers therib 26 rather than extending through therib 26 as depicted. - In the depicted embodiment the
welt 16 is stitched to a lower periphery edge of theupper portion 12 and to therib 26. In the depicted embodiment thestitches 36 that connect the welt to the upper portion and rib extend through the pliable material on both aninner side wall 34 and anouter side wall 32 portion of therib 26. In the depicted embodiment, thestitches 36 extend through two layers of thepliable material 30 when the stitch extends through thezone 53 of therib 26, which is shown between the dashed lines inFIG. 10 . This configuration prevents separation due to therib 26 tearing away from thefoot support platform 18 due to stress applied to therib 26 via the stitches. It should be appreciated that in some embodiments the stitches do not extend through both layers of the pliable material. In some embodiments the stitches extend through only one layer of pliable material and in other embodiments the stitches extend through no layers of pliable material. - In the depicted embodiment the
welt 16 is molded to theoutsole 14. The connection between thewelt 16 and theoutsole 14 does not include stitches. However, it should be appreciated that in alternative embodiments thewelt 16 can be connected to the outsole with stitches (e.g., the welt can be stitched to a midsole structure that is cemented to the outsole). In addition, in the depicted embodiment thewelt 16 includes a flexible construction with a generally T-shaped cross-sectional profile. However, it should be appreciated that the welt can have many alternative configurations. For example, thewelt 16 could be constructed of leather and have a generally L-shaped cross-sectional profile, the welt could include a nylon construction with a generally triangular cross-sectional profile, etc. - In the depicted embodiment the
foot support platform 18 includes ahindfoot zone 40, aforefoot zone 42, and amidfoot zone 44. Theforefoot zone 42 includes ametatarsal support area 46 and atoe support area 48. Thehindfoot zone 40 supports a person's heel, themidfoot zone 44 support a person's midfoot, theforefoot zone 42 support a person's forefoot, themetatarsal support area 46 of theforefoot zone 42 supports a person's metatarsals, and thetoe support area 48 of theforefoot zone 42 supports a person's toes. - In the depicted embodiment the
foot support platform 18 is substantially stiffer in themidfoot zone 44 than thehindfoot zone 40. A relatively stiff material (e.g., glass reinforced nylon) is molded into themidfoot zone 44 of thesupport platform 18 to provide additional support in themidfoot zone 44. This added stiffness provides many advantages, including minimizing fatigue when the person wearing theboot 10 is standing on a ladder rung. The added stiffness in themidfoot zone 44 can avoid the need to provide a separate shank member in theoutsole 14. - In the depicted embodiment the
hindfoot zone 40 includes a resilient pliable construction that allows a person's heel to press into the shock absorption materials in aheel area 56 of theoutsole 14. In the depicted embodiment, thehindfoot zone 40 is pliable and conforms to the shape of the person's heel in use, thereby avoiding pressure points and hot spots in the heel area. - In the depicted embodiment the
toe support area 48 of thefoot support platform 18 is substantially stiffer than themetatarsal support area 46. Conversely, themetatarsal support area 46 is more flexible than themidfoot zone 44 of thesupport platform 18. - The relative flexibility in the
metatarsal support area 46 enables the person to easily flex the shoe when walking, while the stiffness in thetoe support area 48 provides a platform for support for a protective toe covering (FIGS. 14 and 16 ). The flexibility also allows shock to be transferred to and be absorbed by the shock absorption materials in theforefoot area 58 of theoutsole 14. In the depicted embodiment, themetatarsal support area 46 is pliable and conforms to the shape of the person's foot, thereby avoiding pressure points and hot spots in the metatarsal area. In the depicted embodiment therib 26 is notched in the metatarsal support area to provide added flexibility. - The relative stiffness in the
toe support area 48 provides axial support for a protective toe coverings (e.g., steel covering) common in work boots. When the protective toe covering is pressed downward, the force is transferred onto the stiffertoe support area 48, which distributes the force down to a relatively large area of theoutsole 14. The above-described configuration prevents the toe covering from substantially sinking down into theoutsole 14 when impacted, and thereby helps to maintain a relatively constant vertical space in the toe box of theboot 10 when in use. - In the depicted embodiment, the material used to mold the relatively
flexible hindfoot zone 40 and themetatarsal support area 46 is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), the relativelystiffer material 50 used to mold a portion of themidfoot zone 44 andtoe support area 48 is glass reinforced nylon (FIGS. 9 and 10 ). The construction of themidfoot zone 44 is at least ten percent stiffer than the construction of thehindfoot zone 40. Thetoe support area 48 is at least ten percent stiffer than the construction of themetatarsal support area 46. Thetoe support area 48 is at least ten percent stiffer than the construction of thehindfoot zone 40, and themidfoot zone 44 is at least ten percent stiffer than themetatarsal support area 46. In the depictedembodiment midfoot zone 44 is sufficiently stiff to prevent the midfoot from significant bending when a person stands on a ladder rung, thehindfoot zone 40 is sufficiently soft to conform to a person's heel, themetatarsal support area 46 is sufficiently flexible to allow the metatarsal area of the shoe to bend in use, and thetoe support area 48 is sufficiently stiff to distribute the force applied from the toe covering to a larger area of theoutsole 14. In the depicted embodiment themidfoot zone 44 includes an integrally molded dog bone shaped shank member that provides stiffness. In the depicted embodiment the transition between the zones (e.g., line 84) is wavy rather than straight and does not have abrupt corners. This construction avoids stress concentration at the transitions as a result of the bending of the platform and results in overlap between the zones in the longitudinal direction. It should be appreciated that many alternative constructions are possible, including transition with sharp corners, straight line transition, or overlaps in the vertical direction. - In the depicted embodiment the
outsole 14 is a multi material type body that is directly connected to the upper 12. Theoutsole 14 includes ashock absorption portion 52 that is molded into the portion that is configured to engage theground surface 54, otherwise referred to herein as the tread. In the depicted embodiment, theshock absorption portion 52 of theoutsole 14 is molded to thepliable material 30 on the second surface of thefoot support platform 18. In the depicted embodiment theshock absorption portion 52 is delivered into the cavity defined by thetread portion 54 and thebottom surface 24 of thefoot platform 18. This step adheres theoutsole 14 to thesupport platform 18, and thereby also connects theoutsole 14 to the upper. In the depicted embodiment softer materials are molded into theheel areas 56 and theforefoot areas 58 of theshock absorption portion 52 of theoutsole 14. In the depicted embodiment gel-like materials are molded in these areas. In some embodiments the softer materials are preformed and provided as inserts into theheel areas 56 andforefoot areas 58. - In an alternative embodiment, the tread portion of the outsole may be constructed of the same material that is used to construct the shock absorption portion. In such embodiments, the
outsole 14 may still be directly connected to the upper via molding. In such an embodiment, molten outsole material would be provided in a cavity defined by a mold portion and thebottom surface 24 of thefoot support platform 18. - It should be appreciated that the
foot support platform 18 can also be used in construction where the outsole is indirectly attached to the upper. In such embodiments the outsole can be preformed. In such embodiments one surface of a midsole can be cemented to thebottom surface 24 of thefoot support platform 18, and another surface of the midsole can be cemented to the outsole. In such an embodiment the welt can also be stitched to thefoot support platform 18, the midsole, and the outsole. - Referring to
FIGS. 11-14 an alternative embodiment of the foot support platform is shown. In the depicted embodiment thefoot support platform 60 is similar to thesupport platform 18 as it also includes ahindfoot zone 62, aforefoot zone 64, and amidfoot zone 66. Moreover, theforefoot zone 64 includes ametatarsal support area 68 that is less stiff than atoe support area 70. - The
support platform 60 further includes a toecap retaining structure 72. In the depicted embodiment the toecap retaining structure 72 includes aramp 74 having a curved forward raisededge 76. In the depicted embodiment forward raisededge 76 is configured to engage a portion of a toe cap (e.g., a flange on the toe cap). In the depicted embodiment the raisededge 76 has a height H of about 1.0 mm. It should be appreciated that the height can vary from application to application (e.g., in another embodiment H could be between 0.5 mm and 5.0 mm). The raised edge defines the front arc shape of theramp 74. The toecap retaining structure 72 is configured to engage the toe cap wherein the toe cap has a different profile than the arc shape raised edge. For example, if the toe cap has a curvature that is greater than the radius of curvature of the ramp, the toe cap will engage the raised edge along the center line. See, for example,FIG. 15A . However, if the toe cap has a curvature that is less than the radius of curvature of the front of the toe cap, the toe cap will engage the raised edge on either side of the center line. See, for example,FIG. 15B . The configuration enables a certain size toe cap to fit with a variety of side support platforms. - In the depicted embodiment the ramp has a sloped profile that transitions the plane of the toe support area upward towards the upper surface of the
flange 78 of thetoe cap 80. SeeFIG. 14 . In the depicted embodiment the ramp slopes upward from the upper surface of the platform in 180 degrees (both in the forward direction and towards each side). SeeFIG. 11 (seearc 73 identifying the location where the ramp begins to slope upward). In the depicted embodiment asecuring layer 82 is cemented over theramp 74 and theflange 78 of the toe cap to secure thetoe cap 80 down on theplatform 60. The securing layer can be, for example, a fibrous board material (e.g., Texon). It should be appreciated that the toecap retaining structure 72 can have many different configurations. For example, alternatively, the toe cap retaining structure can be a raised rib with a squared off edge rather than a ramp shaped wedge, or the toe cap retaining structure can also be raised spaced apart posts. In addition, the toe cap retaining structure could also be a recess in the foot support platform. In the depicted embodiment the toecap retaining structure 72 is molded integrally as part of thesupport platform 60. It should be appreciated that the toe cap retaining structure can be attached in many other ways (e.g., cemented, riveted, stitched, etc.). - The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the composition of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
