Definitions

  • the invention relates to water vapor-permeable (sweat-permeable) footwear.
  • Water vapor permeable (sweat permeable) footwear is generally known. Footwear that temporarily stores sweat in the material (e.g. leather) and then dissipates it to the outside is referred to as water vapor-permeable (sweat-permeable) footwear. In relation to the ingress of moisture from outside, e.g. Rainwater, these shoes offer only relative protection. In the rain or on wet roads, the previously known water vapor-permeable (sweat-permeable) footwear allows water to penetrate from outside to inside after some time. This creates an unpleasant indoor climate in the footwear and the risk of illness (e.g. cold) increases.
  • water vapor-permeable footwear In relation to the ingress of moisture from outside, e.g. Rainwater, these shoes offer only relative protection. In the rain or on wet roads, the previously known water vapor-permeable (sweat-permeable) footwear allows water to penetrate from outside to inside after some time. This creates an unpleasant indoor climate in the footwear and the risk of illness (e
  • footwear that is waterproof or at least has a waterproof sole (e.g. crepe, plastic or rubber) is worn for the wet season.
  • a waterproof sole e.g. crepe, plastic or rubber
  • This avoids the disadvantages of water penetration into the footwear, but on the other hand new problems arise. Since the water vapor permeability (perspiration permeability) is missing, this can Footwear usually does not temporarily store the sweat of the feet nor remove it to the outside. The result is an inner shoe climate with increased moisture and temperature. This creates discomfort and is the ideal breeding ground for the development and spread of athlete's foot.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide footwear which is permeable to water vapor (permeable to sweat), but at the same time prevents water penetration from the outside.
  • a functional layer with the property waterproof / water vapor permeable (perspiration permeable) is located on, in and / or under footwear or a part of footwear.
  • This functional layer can be made of microporous material made of tetrafluoroethylene polymers, in particular tetrafluoroethylenes, such as those e.g. are known from DE-PS 21 23 316. It has the property that it is permeable to water vapor (perspiration) in one direction, but forms a full water barrier in the other direction.
  • the sole of the shoe has the property that it prevents the ingress of moisture from the outside through the sole construction into the footwear to the foot of the wearer and at the same time diffuses the perspiration emitted by the foot (sweaty feet), i.e. through the functional layer of microporous polytetrafluoroethylene or microporous layer (s) made of other materials to be introduced from the foot of the wearer to the outside, i.e. it is permeable to water vapor (sweat permeable).
  • a functional layer made of microporous polytetrafluoroethylene or of microporous layer (s) made of other materials with the properties waterproof / water vapor permeable (perspiration permeable) is attached to, in or under the leaf lining.
  • the leaf lining is firmly attached to the shoe or is designed to be loosely replaceable.
  • a leaf lining has a functional layer 2, which is represented schematically by hatching in these embodiments.
  • the footwear 1 also has an insole which is sealed waterproof to the sole construction.
  • the functional layer 2 can enclose the entire forefoot or only be located above the forefoot, the sealing against the soles being in a conventional embodiment.
  • the functional layer 2 (shown schematically by hatching) is a suspended lining, which is designed as socks.
  • the seams are sealed waterproof.
  • the insole on the underside is also sealed watertight.
  • This footwear thus has the waterproofness of a conventional rubber boot, but has the advantage of full water vapor permeability according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variation of FIG. 2. While the footwear in FIG. 2 has the shape of a shaft boot, the footwear in FIG. 3 has a folding tongue 3. The advantages described in FIG. 2 are retained, and there is also the possibility of lacing this footwear.
  • an inner shoe which can also be designed as a sock according to the embodiment of FIG. 2, has the functional layer 2.
  • the sole also has a functional layer 2 '.
  • Strength in F. 5 shows a schematic cross section through footwear.
  • the functional layer 2 'already indicated in FIG. 4 with respect to an inner shoe or socks can be seen more clearly here in terms of its function and position in general in footwear.
  • the front part of a footwear usually consists of an outsole 4, a midsole 5 and an insole 6.
  • An insole 7 can also be located in the shoe.
  • the functional layer 2 ' is located between the outsole 4 and the midsole 5 and / or the midsole 5 and the insole and / or the insole 6 and the insole 7. In a preferred embodiment, the functional layer 2' is located between the insole 6 and the midsole 5 underneath and - if this does not exist - the outsole 4 underneath.
