==Running Shoes - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016256 titled 'Running Shoes

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a running shoe that includes an upper and a midsole. The midsole has a front portion corresponding to the forefoot and a rear portion corresponding to the heel. The front portion of the midsole may have notches and flex grooves to increase flexibility. The flex grooves may be associated with the notches via a channel, and void regions in the flex grooves may increase the movability of forefoot pods.

* The patent application is for a running shoe design with improved flexibility in the forefoot and heel areas.
* The midsole of the shoe has notches and flex grooves to enhance flexibility.
* The flex grooves are associated with the notches through a channel, allowing for increased flexibility.
* Void regions in the flex grooves further enhance the movability of forefoot pods.
* The design aims to improve the overall performance and comfort of the running shoe.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Running shoes for athletes and sports enthusiasts.
* Athletic footwear for various sports activities.
* Shoes for individuals who require flexibility and comfort in their footwear.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Lack of flexibility in traditional running shoe designs.
* Discomfort and restricted movement during physical activities.
* Inadequate support and cushioning in the forefoot and heel areas.

Benefits of this technology:
* Improved flexibility and range of motion in the forefoot and heel.
* Enhanced comfort and performance during physical activities.
* Better support and cushioning for the feet.
* Potential reduction in foot and leg fatigue.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a running shoe comprises an upper and a midsole attached to the upper, the midsole having a front portion corresponding to a forefoot and a rear portion corresponding to a heel. the front portion of the midsole may have one or more notches which may increase the flexibility of the midsole. one or more flex grooves may extend through the midsole to similarly increase the flexibility of the midsole. a flex groove may be associated with a notch via a notch and a flex groove being associated with a channel. the flex groove may have void regions in which the flex groove extends entirely through the midsole to define a void therein. the void regions may increase the movability of forefoot pods defined by the relationship of flex grooves and how they may intersect each other and extend through each other.
