Embodiments relating to a lightweight sole structure are disclosed. In some embodiments, the sole structure may include a lobed member having a protruding portion associated with a cleat member. In some embodiments, the sole structure may include a chambered member located in an indention in an intermediate member. In some embodiments, the sole structure may include a cleat member having an outer layer, an intermediate layer, and an inner layer. In some embodiments, a method of making a sole structure may include injecting a chambered member in between an upper member and an intermediate member. In some embodiments, the sole structure may include a plurality of zones having varying degrees of flexibility. In some embodiments, the sole structure may include cleat members having penetrating portions for penetrating into the ground surface. |

Systems and methods are involved with but are not limited to: placing one or more leather portions in a mold, the mold including a cavity with a cavity shape; placing rubber material in the mold; and applying heat to the one or more leather portions and the rubber material while the one or more leather portions and the rubber material are in the mold and subsequently cooling the one or more leather portions and the rubber material thereby fusing one or more portions of the rubber material to the one or more leather portions and thereby conforming one or more portions of the rubber material to one or more portions of the cavity shape. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure. |

An apparatus for the manufacture of a contoured insole construction includes a driving mechanism for moving a sheet of continuous material along a cutting path by a pair of closely spaced apart form factor rollers and then using them to simultaneously deform the sheet of continuous material and to guide a flexible continuous knife belt disposed within the cutting path into cutting engagement with the sheet along a desired contour formed by the pair of rollers to separate a contoured single piece footwear construction from the sheet of continuous material. |

A contoured insole construction is a single-piece insole construction which is contoured at about a foot receiving area thereof including an integrally formed raised foot receiving base region bounded by a lower outer lip perimeter region. In an alternative embodiment, the single-piece insole construction which is contoured at about the foot receiving area thereof includes a raised outer lip perimeter region and a lowered foot-receiving base region bounded by said raised outer lip perimeter region. |

An automatic system for forming custom-made shoe inserts for a person's feet from a pair of blanks is provided with a foot impression mechanism including a pair of pin arrays for simultaneously forming an impression of the contour of the undersurface of each of the person's feet and for releasably retaining each impression formed. Each of the pin arrays is arranged in orthogonal rows and columns with adjoining pins in each column having asymmetric contacting surfaces. The system is also provided with a blank holding assembly for holding the blanks in lateral alignment with the impressions, a blank shaping mechanism for successively sensing each impression and for concomitantly successively cutting material away from each blank in conformance with the corresponding sensed impression, and a drive mechanism for automatically driving the blank shaping mechanism both laterally and to-and-from over the impressions and the blanks in response to a single drive motor so as to automatically form the custom-made shoe inserts from the blanks in conformance with the impressions. A sensing and switching unit automatically stops the drive mechanism when the blank shaping mechanism is in both a desired lateral position and a desired to-and-fro position following formation of the custom-made shoe inserts. |

Methods of preforming shoe uppers are provided using molds of a novel shape. The shape of the mold is such that the material is not stretched more than, in preferred embodiments, about 25 percent. The mold corresponds to the shape of the whole upper but is flatter than the last, is preferably unitary but can be in two or more parts. The methods involve heating the material and carrying out a pressure differential forming operation. Mechanical movement of the molds into the material, just prior to the vacuum forming is also described. When forming several uppers simultaneously, a template may be placed over the molds and subsequently used as a cutting guide. The difficulties of lasting in the normal way are avoided by the invention.
