Abstract: A system and method for measuring the size of a person's foot so that properly sized shoes can be selected. The measuring system has a support surface having a transparent window, and a fixture positioned over the transparent window for receiving a foot to be scanned. The measuring system also includes an imaging device for scanning the foot in the fixture through the window to produce an image of a bottom surface of the foot superimposed on foot measuring indicia. In one embodiment, the fixture is shaped like a shoe. The person can print the image and use the image to select a properly sized pair of shoes.

Abstract: Footwear including an insole formed for relieving pressure on a common digital nerve of a foot. The insole has heel, mid and forefoot sections. The forefoot section of the insole is formed with a pad having a neuroma pad section which underlies the third and fourth metatarsal heads of the foot, so that when a bottom of the foot is placed on the insole, the neuroma pad section applies an upward force to the bottom of the foot sufficient to spread the third and fourth metatarsal heads away from one another and thereby relieve pressure on the third common digital nerve to reduce the risk of neuroma. In other embodiments, the pad is formed as a separate pad for placement in footwear. An insole designed for use with thonged footwear is also disclosed.

Abstract: Footwear having a ventilated sole system to cool the foot is provided. The footwear includes a generally horizontal sole having an outer sole and an insole providing a surface adjacent the foot. The footwear also includes an air flow pump positioned between the outer sole and the insole. The air flow pump includes a generally horizontal tubular pump element extending generally transverse of the footwear from a medial side of the sole to a lateral side of the sole. The pump element defines an interior volume and has opposite ends open to ambient air. The pump element also has a plurality of holes therein providing fluid communication between the interior volume and the surface adjacent the foot. The pump element is resiliently compressible in a generally vertical direction upon impact of the footwear during walking or running and expansible upon liftoff causing ambient air to flow through the holes in the pump elements to cool the foot.

Abstract translation: 提供具有通风底部系统以冷却脚的鞋类。 该鞋类包括一个大体上水平的鞋底，鞋底具有一个外底，一个内底提供一个靠近脚的表面。 鞋类还包括位于外鞋底和鞋内底之间的气流泵。 空气流动泵包括大体上水平的管状泵元件，其大致横向于鞋底从鞋底的内侧延伸到鞋底的侧面。 泵元件限定内部容积并具有相对的端部与环境空气相通。 泵元件还具有多个孔，其中提供内部容积与邻近脚部的表面之间的流体连通。 泵元件在行走或跑步期间在鞋类撞击时在大致垂直的方向上弹性地可压缩，并且在提升时可膨胀，导致环境空气流过泵元件中的孔以冷却脚。
