FLEX SOLE

摘要

A shoe designed for active wear is described having a distinctive outsole. The outsole has a peripheral wall (20) delimiting a plantar region (22), a heel region (24) and an arch region (26) of the outsole. A cavity formed in the plantar region has a shape including a floor (30) and an inner periphery (34) defined by a plurality of ribs that form a structure with a series of combs articulating with the peripheral wall of the outsole. A cushioning pad (18) is located within the cavity and molded-in-place to the inner periphery and the floor of the cavity to form an integral functional part of the outsole.
