Sažetak
There is constantly a worldwide increasing impetus of development in all the fields of industry. Such a situation exists also in the manufacture of products made of polymeric materials. Thus, a new product has been developed which was stimulated by recreational running, i.e. by the sensation of knee ache which was the result of using improper running equipment. Because athletic shoes intended for other sports were used for recreational running, the ankles and knees had to endure severe loads that were created during running. Every athletic shoe for a specific sport has a different sole structure. The new structure should allow the soles to “absorb” loads that occur during running, so that they would not in turn be transferred to the athlete. The only solution currently available on the market is to buy new athletic shoes intended for running only. The new product (sole) will be attached to the athletic shoe not intended for running, and precisely in order to achieve the respective purpose.
