Waterproof, Breathable Shoe and Method For Manufacturing A Shoe

This invention describes a shoe designed to be both waterproof and breathable. It achieves this by using a special layered material in the upper and bottom parts of the shoe that keeps water out while letting air pass through. The shoe also features a sole with internal air channels and side vents, allowing air to circulate through the sole and escape to the outside, helping to keep the foot dry and comfortable.

Why it matters: Material science and additive manufacturing have advanced significantly since 2010. This could enable more efficient and cost-effective production of the complex layered materials and intricate sole ventilation structures.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateLayered waterproof materials, custom sole molding, bonding.
