SOLE CONSTRUCTION FOR A SPORT SHOE

A sole construction for a sports shoe including a wear sole and a resilient layer arranged between the upper of the shoe and the wear sole. The resilient layer is made of a substantially homogeneous material having a substantially constant hardness. Perforations are formed in the resilient layer in the areas of the heel portion and the foot arch portion. The perforations extend through the resilient layer from the upper to the wear sole so as to produce the desired properties of resilience and attenuation and the desired support effect in the sole construction. The perforated area in relation to the area of the resilient layer, is at a maximum in the area of the rear part of the heel portion so as to make the elasticity and the attenuation of the sole construction maximal in this area. When moving from the area of the rear part of the heel portion forwards toward the area of the foot arch portion, the perforated area becomes smaller and the non-perforated area becomes accordingly larger so as to increase the support effect of the sole construction. 18
