A laminated panel () comprises a fusible layer (A) having an upper surface. A mesh layer (A, A) has an encapsulated portion enclosed in the fusible layer so as to be below the upper surface of the fusible layer (A). An embossed portion (A) protrudes from the upper surface of the fusible layer (A). A method () of forming a laminated panel with the fusible layer and the mesh layer comprises the steps of: i) heating the fusible layer (A) to fuse a portion of the fusible layer; and ii) pressing only selected portion of the mesh layer against the fusible layer to provide for the formation of an embossed pattern (A) on the resulting laminated panel ().

The present invention proposes an apparatus for pressure molding multi-layer footwear for use in the field of sport footwear. The apparatus for pressure molding multi-layer footwear has two pressure forming receptacles, each having an inflatable vessel therein. The inflatable vessel is shaped and adapted to surround sides of the footwear, such as a skate. The inflatable vessel has an opening for receiving the skate and an air inlet for inflating the inflatable vessel. The apparatus may further has an air supply device connectable to a control system that will manage the airflow into the inflatable vessel to create the desired pressure onto the skate in order to provide a custom-fit skate.
