Item of footwear () having an upper arrangement () and a sole (), wherein the upper arrangement () has a top material () and on air-permeable layer () arranged in a base of the upper, the air-permeable layer () is arranged above the sole (), in a sole-side, bottom region of the upper arrangement (), the air-permeable layer () has a three-dimensional structure allowing the through-passage of air in at least the horizontal direction, and a sole-side, bottom peripheral region of the top material () of the upper is replaced, over at least part of its peripheral extent, by at least one connecting material () which, beginning at least above an underside of the air-permeable layer () and running outside the air-permeable layer (), is arranged on the base of the upper and is air-permeable at least in a sub-region located at least in part at the same level as the air-permeable layer (), and thus connects the air-permeable layer () to the exterior surroundings such that air can be exchanged between the exterior surroundings and the air-permeable layer ().

Item of footwear with ventilation in the bottom region of the shaft, and air-permeable spacer structure which can be used for this purpose

Item of footwear having an upper arrangement and a sole, wherein the upper arrangement has a top material and an air-permeable layer arranged in a base of the upper, the air-permeable layer is arranged above the sole, in a sole-side, bottom region of the upper arrangement, the air-permeable layer has a three-dimensional structure allowing the through-passage of air in at least the horizontal direction, and a sole-side, bottom peripheral region of the top material of the upper is replaced, over at least part of its peripheral extent, by at least one connecting material which, beginning at least above an underside of the air-permeable layer and running outside the air-permeable layer, is arranged on the base of the upper and is air-permeable at least in a sub-region located at least in part at the same level as the air-permeable layer and thus connects the air-permeable layer to the exterior surroundings such that air can be exchanged between the exterior surroundings and the air-permeable layer.
