Abstract (en)
Adjustable size footwear (4) is formed by the combination of a vamp (4.1), an insole (2) which fits into the inside of an outsole (3), in that the insole (2) provided with a set of projecting surfaces coupled on the track and the outsole (3) provided with a set of slits forming a strips structure with elastic characteristics allowing the fitting of the insole (2) inside the outsole (3), and ensuring the proper expansion of the variable size sole (1) when subjected to forces exerted by the foot inside the shoe. The variable size sole (1) thus built, the vamp (4.1), and the connection process (4.2) to the vamp (4.1), ensure the natural adjustment of the footwear to different foot morphologies and the natural and dynamic adjustment to the dimensional variations that the foot of the user undergoes during the day and may be applicable to different types of shoe.
