A hollow sole is formed within the sole of a shoe wherein a top component
having a flat portion and an outer wall is adhered to a bottom component
wherein the depth of the outer wall defines an enclosed space between the
top and bottom components. The outer wall of the top component and the
walls of the bottom component that rise to and fall from the weld lines
are made with flexible ridges which provides a bellowing effect when the
pressure of the foot is pushed down on the sole. In one embodiment, a
fluidly connected inside compartment and outside compartment are created
by welded lines adhering the bottom component to the top component. In an
alternate embodiment, the hollow sole may contain foam for extra support.
Fluid pockets and other flow structures are bored into the foam to allow
for the dynamic fluid flow.
