Abstract

A sole ( 1 ) for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe/hiking shoe or ski boot/snowboard boot, is proposed, with a cushioning profile ( 5 ) arranged on the outside ( 3 ) of the sole ( 1 ). The sole ( 1 ) is distinguished in that the cushioning profile ( 5 ) also extends over the inside ( 7 ) of the sole ( 1 ).

1 . A sole ( 1 ) for a shoe with a cushioning profile ( 5 ) arranged on an outside ( 3 ) of the sole ( 1 ), wherein the cushioning profile ( 5 ) also extends over an inside ( 7 ) of the sole ( 1 ). 
     
     
         2 . A sole according to  claim 1 , wherein the cushioning profile ( 5 ) has at least one cushioning element ( 11 ). 
     
     
         3 . A sole according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one cushioning element ( 11 ) has an elastically deformable hollow body ( 13 ) which can be joined to further cushioning elements via portions of material. 
     
     
         4 . A sole according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one cushioning element ( 11 ) is integrated resiliently in the sole and forms a two-dimensional spring element. 
     
     
         5 . A sole according to  claim 2 , wherein the cushioning profile ( 5 ) has a plurality of cushioning elements ( 21 ,  23 ) including at least two main cushioning elements ( 21 ) and a plurality of secondary cushioning elements ( 23 ). 
     
     
         6 . A sole according to  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the main cushioning element ( 21 ) is arranged in a heel region ( 25 ) of the sole and at least one of the main cushioning element ( 21 ) is arranged in a forefoot region ( 27 ) of the sole. 
     
     
         7 . A sole according to  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the main cushioning elements ( 21 ) is surrounded by secondary cushioning elements ( 23 ). 
     
     
         8 . A sole according to  claim 1 , wherein a grip profile ( 29 ) is additionally formed in a heel region ( 25 ) of the sole and/or in a forefoot region ( 27 ) of the sole. 
     
     
         9 . A sole according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one cushioning element ( 11 ) is embossed three-dimensionally. 
     
     
         10 . A sole according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one cushioning element ( 11 ) can perform a spring movement in two directions ( 19 ,  19 ′), and wherein the two directions ( 19 ,  19 ′) are perpendicular to a sole plane (E). 
     
     
         11 . A sole according to  claim 1 , wherein a frame ( 9 ) is joined to the sole ( 1 ) and surrounds the sole to stabilise the cushioning profile ( 5 ). 
     
     
         12 . A sole according to  claim 11 , wherein the frame ( 9 ) is arranged at a distance (a) from a running plane (L) of the sole ( 1 ). 
     
     
         13 . A sole according to  claim 1 , wherein the sole ( 1 ) is at least 2 mm thick. 
     
     
         14 . A shoe having a sole according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         15 . A sole according to  claim 1 , wherein the shoe is at least one of a sports shoe, a hiking shoe, a ski boot, and a snowboard boot. 
     
     
         16 . A sole according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one cushioning element ( 11 ) has one of a hexagonal shape, a circular cup shape, and a frustoconical shape. 
     
     
         17 . A sole according to  claim 12 , wherein the distance (a) is 2 mm. 
     
     
         18 . A sole according to  claim 13 , wherein the sole has a continuous material thickness of 2 mm. 
     
     
         19 . A sole according to  claim 3 , wherein the cushioning profile ( 5 ) has a plurality of cushioning elements ( 21 ,  23 ) including at least two main cushioning elements ( 21 ) and a plurality of secondary cushioning elements ( 23 ). 
     
     
         20 . A sole according to  claim 4 , wherein the cushioning profile ( 5 ) has a plurality of cushioning elements ( 21 ,  23 ) including at least two main cushioning elements ( 21 ) and a plurality of secondary cushioning elements ( 23 ).
