ABSTRACT:
A ventilated shoe for ventilating the foot is disclosed. The ventilated shoe contains an outer sole (14). A heel pad (16) is disposed at the rear end of the outer sole (14). An intake manifold (26) is disposed near the front of the outer sole (14). The intake manifold (26) is connected to pump cells (20), (22) and (24). An exhaust manifold (46) is also connected to pump cells (20), (22) and (24). The intake manifold (26) only allows air to flow through the manifold (26) into the pump cells (20), (22) and (24). The exhaust manifold (46) only allows air to flow out of the manifold (46) from the pump cells (20), (22) and (24). The pump cells (20), (22) and (24) are filled with an open-celled foam (70) so that when no pressure is being applied to the pump cells (20), (22) and (24), they draw air in through the intake manifold (26). When pressure is applied to the pump cells (20), (22) and (24), the open-celled foam (70) is compressed and the air is expelled through the exhaust manifold (46).
