This invention describes a way to make parts for waterproof and breathable shoes. It involves using a mold with specific shapes, into which liquid plastic is poured or injected. A flexible sheet, which is both waterproof and breathable, is placed in the mold, and the plastic adheres to it as it hardens, forming the shoe part. One specific version of the method includes a step of putting the mold into a vacuum chamber after the plastic is deposited.
Why it matters: Since 2015, new generations of waterproof-breathable membranes and compatible polymeric materials have emerged, potentially improving product performance or manufacturing efficiency.
