Woven Shoe Upper

This invention describes a shoe upper featuring a woven fabric. A unique "stitching yarn" is integrated directly into the fabric during the weaving process itself. This yarn is moved side-to-side and through the loom's reed gaps to become part of the weave, potentially being stronger or meltable.

Why it matters: Advances in digital loom control and multi-axis weaving since 2018 could make the precise, integrated stitching yarn manipulation more feasible and automated. This might simplify production of these specialized shoe uppers.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedModified weaving loom, specialized yarn control.
