Abstract

A composite outsole (10, 40, 80) for a shoe (200), and a shoe (200) incorporating a composite outsole (10, 40, 80), are provided. The outsole (10, 40, 80) comprises an inner surface (20, 90) in contact with the shoe upper, and an outer surface (30, 110) in contact with the ground or other walking or running surface. The outsole includes multiple material regions (20, 30, 50, 60) and/or layers (20, 30, 50, 60) having characteristics, such as traction, durability, hardness, etc. The use of multiple materials for fabricating the outsole (10, 40, 80) as an integral structure is designed to provide functional utility in a variety of different environments and when used under different conditions.
