A vapor-permeable shoe comprising the following combination of elements: a vapor-permeable upper () associated with a vapor-permeable or perforated lining (); a tread sole () made of perforated elastomer; a mid-sole, comprising at least one membrane () made of waterproof and vapor-permeable material associated with a lower protective layer () made of a material resistant of hydrolysis, the layer being water-repellent, vapor-permeable and/or perforated; a vapor-permeable or perforated insole (); a vapor-permeable or perforated filler () layer arranged between said insole and said membrane. The membrane is associated and sealed, at its edge regions, to a pre-molded insert () which is suitable to form a perimetric support for the membrane both during assembly and during use.

Vapor-permeable shoe

A vapor-permeable shoe comprising the following combination of elements: a vapor-permeable upper ( ) associated with a vapor-permeable or perforated lining ( ); a tread sole ( ) made of perforated elastomer, a mid-sole, comprising at least one membrane ( ) made of waterproof and vapor-permeable material associated with a lower protective layer ( ) made of a material resistant to hydrolysis, the layer being water-repellent, vapor-permeable and/or perforated; a vapor-permeable or perforated insole ( ); a vapor-permeable or perforated filler ( ) layer arranged between said insole and said membrane. The membrane is associated and sealed, at its edge regions, to a pre-molded insert ( ) which is suitable to form a perimetric support for the membrane both during assembly and during use.

Waterproof and transpiring sole for footgear including a tread made of leather or similar material which is at least partially covered, in an upward region, by a membrane made of vapor-permeable and waterproof material. The tread is assembled, at least along its perimeter, together with at least one upper part made of rubber or equivalent material which has a central opening in the region affected by the membrane.

Waterproof transpiring sole for footgear

The sole structure comprises a lower part with a tread, preferably made of rubber or other synthetic material, and having holes formed therein which traverse its thickness. The lower part is covered by a membrane made of microporous, waterproof material which permits transpiration. The structure is completed by an upper part adapted for having a foot rested thereon and being made of rubber or other synthetic material. Holes which traverse the thickness of the upper part are provided at the portion thereof affected by the membrane.
