Description

This disclosure relates to an outsole for a shoe (in particular a football shoe), a shoe including the outsole, and a method for manufacturing the outsole. When designing outsoles and/or shoes, compromises are often made between different characteristics that the outsole and/or shoes should possess. For example, a football shoe with a stiff outsole can offer excellent characteristics for running at high speeds, but on the other hand, a stiff outsole can result in reduced comfort. Therefore, there is an ongoing need for seeds designed to improve the overall characteristics of outsoles and/or shoes. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014/366405A1U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2018/035755A1 This disclosure relates to an outsole for a shoe (e.g., a football shoe), including a first sole segment overlapping a second sole segment. One or more cushioning elements may be provided between the first sole element and the second sole segment in the area where the first and second sole segments overlap. The configuration of the overlapping sole segments and/or cushioning elements may provide various advantageous effects as described herein. A first embodiment (I) of the present disclosure is an outsole (1) for a shoe (50), the outsole (1) comprising: a first sole segment (2), the first sole segment (2) comprising at least one stud (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b), and positioned at least within the midfoot portion (25) of the outsole (1); a second sole segment (3), the second sole segment (3) comprising at least one stud, and positioned at least within the toe portion (20) of the outsole (1), the first sole segment (3) and the second sole segment (3) partially overlapping; and a first cushioning element (4) positioned between the first sole segment (2) and the second sole segment (3), the first cushioning element (4) comprising at least one first stud (6a, 6b) of the first or second sole segment (2, 3) The first cushioning element (4) and the first sole segment (2) overlap with it.
