Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of producing footwear. The footwear has an upper and an outsole with an upraised portion, such as a toe bumper or a heel bumper. The method uses a mould comprising a last, upon which the upper is arranged, an upper mould part divided into two side parts being laterally movable in relation to a lower mould part between a first and second position, and the lower mould part being vertically movable in relation to the upper mould part between a third and fourth position. The method comprises the following steps: —placing the outsole 3 in a lower mould part 4 of a mould, —placing an upper 2 in a cavity of the mould, —moving at least one side part 5 against the other side part 5 from a first to a second position whereby the two side parts abut the upper 2, —injecting a composition into the space 12 in order to connect the outsole to the upper and to make a midsole 9, and moving the lower mould part 4 towards the upper 2 from a third to a fourth position so that a tip 8 of the upraised portion 7 is pressed towards the upper 2 by a control surface 13 of the side parts 5 so that a space is maintained between the upper and upraised portion 7 of the outsole 3.
