footwear

The innovation relates to footwear such as shoes, boots or sandals with an outer sole and an in fixed position to this attached inner contact sole.

Footwear of the type described above are well known and customary. You have chosen that has proven its worth in a wide range of requirements in the appropriate configuration. Footwear of the described and known Kind, however, are not capable of irritating the so-called "reflex zones" on the underside of the human foot Exercise foot during daily walking.

Furthermore, with the utility model G 81 31 085 shoe insoles become known, which at least in the area provided for pressure contact with the sole of the foot Have lenticular elevations of various designs. These shoe insoles are in cooperation ■ with footwear of all kinds able to exert the desired stimulation of the described reflex zones. However, they have the disadvantage that they somewhat narrow the footwear in which they are used, so that an uncomfortable narrowing of the foot occurs. This situation has to be taken into account when buying and adjusting footwear to which such insoles are to be used.

The innovation is thus based on the task of designing footwear in such a way that the footwell is narrowed the insole is avoided, but the desired irritant effect on the reflex zones can still be achieved.

According to the innovation, this object is achieved in footwear of the type described in that the inner contact sole at least for pressure contact

with the area provided with the sole of the foot has lenticular elevations. Because the always present inner contact sole is designed in the manner according to the innovation, it is no longer necessary, in addition, a Use an insole of the appropriate design. The footwear can be sized right away be adapted to the foot. Attention to insoles of a certain size or thickness that are to be used later is no longer required. At the same time be natural the well-known positive influences of such lenticular elevations on the general well-being of humans achieved.

According to one embodiment of the innovation, it is proposed that that the lenticular elevations have a higher resistance to deformation, at least in the upright direction than the material of the inner contact sole. In this way it is possible to reduce the irritant effect of the lenticular Reinforce increases.

According to another embodiment of the innovation, it is proposed that the lenticular elevations consist of one made of harder material than the material of the inner contact sole. This measure is in production engineering a simple way of increasing the irritant effect of the lenticular elevations.

Again, according to an embodiment of the innovation, it is proposed that that the lenticular elevations are molded into the inner contact sole and the resulting cavities are filled with a filling compound. On the one hand, this is also a particularly favorable production method and is permitted on the other hand by varying the filling compound and the material of the inner contact sole a corresponding to the intended irritant effect graded hardness of the lenticular elevations.

According to another embodiment of the innovation, it is proposed that that the lenticular elevations evenly over those provided for pressure contact with the sole of the foot Area are scattered. With this measure, practically all important irritation zones can be removed on the underside of the foot can be achieved, as a result of which a general increase in well-being is achieved in generally healthy people will.

Another embodiment of the innovation, in turn, provides that the inner contact sole only has certain reflex zones has lenticular elevations associated with the sole of the foot. Such an arrangement turns out to be particularly Favorable when it is not important to maintain or increase general well-being, but when a certain therapeutic effect is to be achieved. Through this targeted stimulation of the specific Reflex zones assigned to organs on the underside of the foot of the human foot can trigger a corresponding reaction of the organ assigned to the reflex zone can be achieved,

Another embodiment of the innovation provides that the lenticular elevations of. Heads from inside Contact sole introduced rivets are formed. This can and will achieve the desired effect at the same time also achieved a particularly cost-effective production.

Another variant of the innovation is proposed that the rivets are at least partially designed as hollow rivets. This also creates a ventilation effect achieved, which on the one hand has a heat regulating effect and on the other hand, the already existing irritant effect on the Reinforced reflex zones on the underside of the foot.

Finally, according to the innovation, it is also proposed that the lenticular elevations be in the upright direction

have extending through opening. In this way the same effect can be achieved as with hollow rivets can be achieved without having to use hollow rivets. This is especially important when the irritant effect the lenticular elevations should be softened.

The innovation should now be based on the exemplary embodiment are explained in more detail according to the accompanying drawings.

which each lens-shaped on its outer surface 6 is curved with a sufficiently large radius R. Each hollow rivet is on the other side of the inner contact sole 1 2 fastened in the inner contact sole 1 by a simple bead 7 or in some other suitable manner.

The lens-shaped curved outer surface 6 of the collar 5

each individual hollow rivet 2 exercises while walking and

Standing based on body weight and foot movement

a tear effect on the corresponding reflex zones on the underside of the foot.

The hollow rivets used in the exemplary embodiment also have the advantage that the hollow channel 4 every hollow rivet 2, despite the fact that it is in contact with the outer sole, an air exchange takes place, i.e. a ventilation effect occurs. This ventilation effect has a heat-regulating effect and increases the irritant effect on the reflex zones on the underside of the foot.

A similar design of the lenticular elevations on an inner contact sole 1, FIG. 4 shows, the lenticular elevations 13 are made of inserted plastic or Metal rivets are formed which can be pressed into the inner contact sole 1, for example. These too Plastic or metal rivets can have a through opening 17, which the already described Caused ventilation effect. To increase the deformation resistance, it is possible to use the rivets mentioned FIG. 4 to be provided with a shaft 18 which extends through the entire inner contact sole 1 and which is directly on the inside of the outer outsole 9 and thus supported on a relatively solid support.

In Figure 3 is an innore contact sole as an embodiment 14 shown, in which the lenticular. Elevations 12 are molded. On the negative side, so is on the sole rear of the inner contact sole 14

into the hollowed-in lenticular elevations 13 Filling compound 15 inserted or poured. With this Filling compound 15 can be the deformation resistance of the lenticular Elevations 12 are affected. Of course, a continuous one can also be used in this exemplary embodiment Opening 16 may be provided in the lenticular elevations 12.

As an exemplary embodiment, FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal section through a shoe according to the innovation in which the upper leather 8 longitudinally sectioned and the outer outsole 9 and the inner contact sole 1 or 14 attached thereto in a side view are shown. A footwear designed in this way can be selected to match immediately, since the dimensions any insoles do not have to be taken into account. Nevertheless, the desired irritant effect on the Reflex zones of the human foot achieved.
