Described are materials for a shoe upper, in particular for soccer shoes, with a particularly low weight. The material includes an inner polyurethane layer, an outer polyurethane layer, and a textile reinforcing layer. The textile reinforcing layer is arranged between the inner polyurethane layer and the outer polyurethane layer. The inner polyurethane layer and the outer polyurethane layer comprise thermoset polyurethane. The textile reinforcing layer comprises apertures through which the inner polyurethane layer and the outer polyurethane layer are connected to each other.

Material for shoe upper

Exemplary methods for making a golf shoe outsole comprise first forming a lower portion of the outsole of a first material comprising thermoplastic polyurethane, and then forming an upper portion of the outsole by pouring a liquid second material comprising polyurethane or expandable thermoplastic polyurethane onto an upper surface of the lower portion.

Golf shoe outsoles

A golf shoe outsole comprises a thin, flexible base layer having many discrete platforms projecting downwardly from the base layer for providing traction elements. The platforms are separated by channels and open regions to allow the discrete platforms to readily flex relative to one another about the thin base layer, providing enhanced flexibility to the outsole and improved traction performance during a dynamic act such as a golf swing.

Golf shoe outsole

Golf shoe

Disclosed golf shoes can include an upper and an outsole, and an oblique internal toe box region defined between a forward portion of the upper and a forward portion of the outsole. The toe box region can have a shape that corresponds to an anatomical shape of a forward portion of a person's foot. The forward portion of the outsole can have five discrete toe traction zones each being configured to be positioned below a respective one of a person's toes. The toe box region can be sufficiently wide to allow a wearer's toes to have a full anatomical range of motion in medial and lateral directions. The toe box region can be sufficiently wide such that the ratio of a maximum width of the toe box region divided by a maximum heel-to-toe length of an internal open region of the golf shoe is greater than about 0.35.

Golf shoes

A golf shoe includes a sole member integrally formed with a molding material, a structural member, and a plurality of receptacles in the bottom of the sole member. The structural member extends along at least a portion of the length of the sole member and is configured to not vertically overlap with any of the receptacles. A method of manufacturing a shoe with a sole member that has a structural member formed integrally therewith is also provided.
