Abstract
A waterproof shoe whose structure comprises: a breathable upper, which is internally associated with a lining with a membrane permeable to vapor and impermeable to water; an insole, peripherally associated with the upper and the lining; and a sole or mid-sole, made of a material impermeable to water and directly injection-molded at least around the edge region of the assembled upper, lining and insole. The lower edge of the lining protrudes further downward than the upper to form a lower region in which said upper is replaced by a connecting element which is joined to the upper on one side and to the insole on the other side, the connecting element comprising waterproof material which is compatible, for adhesive bonding, with the molding material of the sole or mid-sole.
