The invention relates to a product for pilgrims performing the rites of Haj and Umrah. Used to reduce the crushes resulting from pilgrims colliding because, for example, pilgrims places their shoes close to the gate from which they entered thinking that it will be easy to return to the same place once they have performed the rites of circumambulation (tawaf) and running (sa'ay). However, in reality the pilgrims must walk against the flow, causing collisions and severe crushes, or he is forced to leave his shoes behind, which is a burden for cleaning staff, looks untidy and is a nuisance for pilgrims, the main figures for the inventions are FIG. 7 before wearing the shoes and FIGS. 8,9,10 and 11 after wearing it.

A rigid foot orthotic for walking or running. The orthotic is designed to bend slightly at the heel and near the toes—or the front and back portions of a person's step. The middle guides the ankles slightly outward but gently guides the inner foot down to the toe for the “push off” or forward motion of the step.

A shoe having a bio foot pad, including a plurality of circumferential elastic fibers surrounded by a viscoelastic material; wherein said fibers impart a biphasic characteristic to said viscoelastic material; and wherein said fibers under compression develop a plurality of hoop stresses to facilitate load conversion and distribution of axial forces exerted against a heel area of a user.

A method for providing parts of waterproof and breathable shoes, parts of waterproof and breathable shoes provided with the method, and waterproof and breathable soles provided with the shoe parts. The method uses a mold including a first element and a second element, at least one of which has hollow regions of a matrix of impressions, which are filled with polymeric material in the fluid state by depositing it in the hollow regions or by injecting it while the mold is closed; a support made of flexible sheet is interposed between the first element and the second element and includes a waterproof and breathable functional element, on which, when the mold is closed, the polymeric material sets and adheres to the support.

A footwear ornamentation assembly includes at least one insert and a plurality of design members that can be mounted on the insert or a flip-flop for decoration purposes.

The gripping unit may include a toe grip pad and a heel grip pad.

An apparatus that assists foot movement includes a normally twisted plate configured to interact with the foot. The foot has a pronation axis, and the normally twisted plate is biased and configured to twist about a plate axis that substantially approximates the pronation axis in response to a load received from the foot during foot pronation. As the foot pronates, the plate twists to apply a non-linear force substantially about the plate axis.

A cushioning member includes a first lattice structure and a second lattice structure. The first lattice structure includes a first network of struts and nodes with voids defined between the struts and nodes. The second lattice structure includes a second network of struts and nodes with voids defined between the struts and nodes.

AFC BOURNEMOUTH have completed the signing of flexible attacker Lys Mousset from French side Le Havre for an undisclosed fee understood to be in the region of 6.5million euros. The 20-year-old, who was reportedly on the radar of Arsenal, Spurs, Sunderland, Southampton, Copenhagen and Monaco, has signed a four-year deal at the Vitality Stadium. A product of the revered Le Havre Academy that brought through the likes of Paul Pogba, Dimitri Payet and Lassana Diarra, Mousset scored 14 goals for the Ligue 2 outfit from wide and central attacking positions last season. Capped eight times at under-20 level by France, he appeared against England in the recent Toulon Tournament final and also attracted interest from Bristol City, Italian club Torino and Spanish top-flight side Sevilla.
