Abstract (en)
According to the invention, footwear having an upper, outsole and midsole, has the inner part of the outsole having a cellular structure, e.g., in a shaped structure of a honeycomb type, and has the midsole perforated for allowing air to pass from the outsole to the interior of the footwear. With this construction, deformations of the cells of the outsole during walking cause a pumping effect that induces air circulation between the outsole and the interior of the footwear. This contributes to a recirculation and to a self-ventilation effect being induced in the area of the foot where such functions are needed. <IMAGE>
