Athletic Shoe Having Laterally Elongated Metatarsal Cleat

View page
US Patent:
41078586, Aug 22, 1978
Filed:
Apr 15, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/787888
Inventors:
William J. Bowerman - Eugene OR
Stanley L. James - Eugene OR
Dennis E. Vixie - Eugene OR
Assignee:
BRS, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A43B 500
A43B 1304
A43C 1500
US Classification:
36134
Abstract:
An athletic shoe is described with an outer sole having a laterally elongated matetarsal cleat of resilient material molded integral with such outer sole. The metatarsal cleat extends laterally across the entire width of the toe portion of the sole in a position immediately behind the heads of the metatarsal bones of the wearer's foot. In one embodiment the metatarsal cleat is in the form of a curved chevron including two wing shaped side portions each having curved front and rear surfaces to provide good longitudinal traction and self-cleaning action under wet condition. In additon, the chevron cleat is provided with two end portions and an intermediate porton having straight edges extending longitudinally to provide greater lateral traction. A plurality of other cleats of different shape and smaller ground engaging surface area than the metatarsal cleat are also molded integral with the outer sole. These other cleats are of a straight sided polygon shape, such as a hexagon or square, and are of the same height as the metatarsal cleat.

Athletic Training Shoe Having Foam Core And Apertured Sole Layers

View page
US Patent:
40430588, Aug 23, 1977
Filed:
May 21, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/688843
Inventors:
Geoffrey L. Hollister - Eugene OR
Dennis E. Vixie - Eugene OR
Assignee:
BRS, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A43B 110
A43B 1318
A43C 1500
US Classification:
36102
Abstract:
A straight last athletic training shoe is described employing a foam core sole layer and an apertured sole layer between a harder outer sole layer and the shoe upper. The apertured sole layer provides lightweight cushioning and is preferably a heel lift layer positioned below an intermediate sole layer having a soft resilient foam core surrounded by a border portion of harder resilient material for stability. The foam core is provided within an elongated opening extending longitudingly beneath the heel, arch and metatarsal bones of the wearer's foot for greater cushioning and support. The apertures in the heel lift layer are arranged in three longitudinal rows with at least some apertures being in alignment with the foam core of the intermediate sole layer and the middle row having apertures which are staggered out of alignment with the apertures of the outer two rows.

Track Shoes Having Straight Last And Improved Spike Placement

View page
US Patent:
42121205, Jul 15, 1980
Filed:
Jun 10, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/694720
Inventors:
William J. Bowerman - Eugene OR
Geoffrey L. Hollister - Eugene OR
Stanley L. James - Eugene OR
Dennis E. Vixie - Eugene OR
Assignee:
BRS, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A43B 500
US Classification:
36129
Abstract:
A track shoe is described having a shoe upper and sole made on a straight last, whose last axis bisects the heel and passes through the second metatarsal head of the wearer's foot. The spike plate portion of the sole has a rear pair of spike fasteners which place the two rearmost spikes behind the heads of the overlying first and fifth metatarsal bones. The spike fasteners of such rear pair are centered along a straight line which intersects the last axis at an obtuse angle in the range of about 102. degree. to 115. degree. which is substantially the same as the angle of intersection between such axis and a line between the first and fifth metatarsal heads. A third spike fastener is located behind the head of the third metatarsal bone ahead of the line adjoining the rear pair of spike fasteners. The track shoe is provided with a shoe upper of open mesh nylon fabric.

Multilayered Sole Athletic Shoe With Improved Foam Mid-Sole

View page
US Patent:
41289501, Dec 12, 1978
Filed:
Feb 7, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/766530
Inventors:
William J. Bowerman - Eugene OR
Stanley L. James - Eugene OR
Dennis E. Vixie - Eugene OR
Assignee:
BRS, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A43B 1312
A43B 1318
A43B 1328
A43B 2328
US Classification:
36 30R
Abstract:
An athletic shoe of reduced weight is described employing low density, closed cell, synthetic plastic foam for an intermediate sole layer and/or heel lift sole layer between a harder outer sole layer and the shoe upper. The foam is a polyethylene or ethylene vinyl acetate foam having a density not substantially less than 5 pounds per cubic foot, preferably at least 7 pounds per cubic foot. A lateral extending heel stabilizer plate of solid plastic material or a heel lift layer having a relatively hard outer border portion may be added to improve lateral stability.

Cleated Sole For Athletic Shoe

View page
US Patent:
40980111, Jul 4, 1978
Filed:
Apr 27, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/791495
Inventors:
William J. Bowerman - Eugene OR
Stanley L. James - Eugene OR
Dennis E. Vixie - Eugene OR
Assignee:
BRS, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A43B 500
US Classification:
36129
Abstract:
A cleated outer sole for an athletic shoe is described which includes two pairs of heel and toe cleats of large ground engaging surface area to provide a long wearing sole. These pairs of large cleats are surrounded by smaller gripping cleats of substantially the same height as such larger cleats and all cleats are molded of resilient material integral with the outer sole. The gripping cleats are in the shape of straight sided polygons such as a square or hexagon to provide superior traction and cushioning. The larger cleats are of a different shape and may be triangular, rectangular or other shapes. The pair of heel cleats is provided on opposite sides of the heel portion of the outer sole, while the pair of toe cleats may be provided on opposite sides of the front portion of such sole beneath the heads of the metatarsal bones of the foot. The heel cleat positioned on the inside edge of the shoe functions primarily to provide greater lateral stability to the shoe. The two heel wear cleats are of left and right allochiral shape so that the heel portion of the sole is substantially symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the shoe.
