Footwear with zoned insulation
First Claim
1. A boot comprising:
- an outsole;
a toe region comprising a toe region insulation material configured to provide a relatively highest level of insulation to the toe region of the boot;
a saddle region comprising a saddle region insulation material configured to provide a relatively intermediate level of insulation to the saddle region of the boot; and
a heel region comprising a heel region insulation material configured to provide a relatively lowest level of insulation to the heel region of the boot.

Abstract
Footwear and a method of manufacture of footwear are presented. The footwear has different insulation zones and each zone has a different level of insulation. For example, an article of footwear includes a first insulation zone, a second insulation zone, and a third insulation zone. The first, second, and third insulation zones each provide a different level of insulation for a specific part of a wearer'"'"'s foot. The first insulation zone may be the heel region of the article of footwear, the second insulation zone may be the main part of the foot region of the article of footwear excluding both the heel region and a toe region of the article of footwear, and the third insulation zone may be the toe region of the article of footwear.
