The present invention proposes an apparatus for pressure molding multi-layer
footwear for use in the field of sport footwear. The apparatus for pressure molding
multi-layer footwear has two pressure forming receptacles, each having an inflatable
vessel therein. The inflatable vessel is shaped and adapted to surround sides of
the footwear, such as a skate. The inflatable vessel has an opening for receiving
the skate and an air inlet for inflating the inflatable vessel. The apparatus may
further has an air supply device connectable to a control system that will manage
the airflow into the inflatable vessel to create the desired pressure onto the
skate in order to provide a custom-fit skate.
