INTRODUCTION
closeA lightweight shoe sole having a structure for shock absorption
and rebound resilience that is capable of improving shock absorption
and rebound resilience characteristics, while providing light weight.
MOTIVE
closeThe shocks caused during walking and running may be transmitted
to the wearer's body through the sole part of the shoe, and thus,
if the sole part is a little heavy, he or she may feel easily fatigued.
Therefore, the sole part of the shoe should have a light structure
capable of providing shock absorption characteristics.
As a result, various studies on the sole part of the shoe
have been recently made to reduce the shocks applied to
the human body during walking and running as well as to achieve
substantially light weight, but unfortunately, such studies
do not completely satisfy the needs of wearers.
Therefore, there is a definite need for the development
of a lightweight shoe sole having shock absorption performance.
BENEFITS
close| 1. | Improving the shock absorption and distribution performance | |
| to minimize the shocks applied to the wearer during walking | ||
| and running. | ||
| 2. | Optimizing the rebound resilience performance providing | |
| the energy for next operation. That is, momentum | ||
| (rebound resilience) at the time of taking off during | ||
| the walking and running can be improved. | ||
| 3. | The lightweight shoe sole provides excellent wearing comfort, | |
| ensures more comfortable walking and running, and improves | ||
| the energy efficiency of the wearer even during long hours | ||
| wearing to reduce the fatigue applied to the wearer's foot. | ||
| 4. | Ensuring excellent shock absorption performance and | |
| substantially reducing the weight of the shoe sole. | ||
| 5. | The lightweight shoe sole effectively absorbs and distributes | |
| side shocks generated from the sides of the shoe sole. |
