LAMINATED PRODUCT FOR USE IN FOOTWEAR MANUFACTURING

摘要

The laminated insole (2) for a footwear comprises an upper layer made of a resilient foam material (4) and having an outline (6) shaped for incorporation in the footwear, and a bottom layer made of fibrous mat (10) and having a shape conforming with the outline (6) of the upper layer (4). The fibrous mat (10) comprises a multiplicity of fibers (12), a fraction of which penetrates the foam material of the upper layer (4) for bonding the bottom layer (10) to the upper layer (4), and a stiff portion (14) for providing stiffness to the insole (2). Preferably, each of the fibers (12) of the fraction penetrating the foam material (4) emerges from the outer surface (16) thereof and thereby provides a pilosity (17) thereon. The laminated product (2) is suitable for use as an insole as well as a slip-in insole in any footwear. It takes advantage of the resilient properties of the foam, the stiffness and thermoformability of the fibrous mat and the comfort provided by the pilosity covering the upper layer of foam.
