The invention relates to a self-ventilated, ergonomic footwear item and an elastomeric sole. According to the invention, both sides of the sole comprise a plurality of longitudinal grooves, in the area corresponding to the sole of the foot, which are essentially parallel to the edge of the sole closest thereto and which have a depth equal to half of the height of the sole. Moreover, the grooves are disposed in an alternating manner in relation to one another on either side of the sole in the form of a bellows-type structure. The upper comprises a perforated elastic laminar body which is disposed beneath the insole in the area corresponding to the sole of the foot and which, together with the sole, forms a chamber having a volume that varies upon walking. In addition, three thick bands are solidly connected to the body and the upper in order to stiffen said elastic laminar body, namely: one longitudinal band and two transverse end bands. In this way, the footwear item and the sole adapt perfectly to the anatomy of the foot, enabling same to be automatically ventilated upon walking.

L'invention concerne une chaussure ergonomique auto-ventilée et une semelle élastomère. Plusieurs rainures longitudinales sont ménagées dans les deux faces de cette semelle, lesquelles sont sensiblement parallèles au bord de la semelle la plus proche, et avec une profondeur équivalent à la moitié de la hauteur de la semelle. Les rainures sont disposées de façon alternée une par rapport à l'autre de chaque côté de la semelle selon une structure de type soufflet. La découpe comprend au niveau de la surface et au-dessous de celle-ci un corps élastique perforé qui crée avec la semelle une chambre à volumétrie variable en marchant. Le corps laminaire élastique est rendu rigide par trois bandes d'épaisseur sensible solidaires dudit corps et de la découpe, l'une d'elle étant longitudinale et les deux extrêmes étant transversales. Cette chaussure et cette semelle s'adaptent parfaitement à l'anatomie du pied, permettant ainsi une ventilation automatique en marchant.
