Abstract

A magnetic sole for a magnetic shoe provides improved grip on magnetic metal surfaces. The magnetic sole embeds a plurality of magnets and a corresponding plurality of paramagnets embedded within the resilient material that form the sole body, typically without air space between them and the resilient material, with the resilient material bonded directly to the outside surface of the body of the magnets. The paramagnets increase the magnetic flux through the magnetic metal surface, to provide flexibility, grip, and traction on magnetic metal surfaces, and anchors the magnets inside the sole. The resilient material of the sole allows contact and adhesion with the magnetic metal surface, holds all the interior elements of the sole in place, and adheres to the vamp. A magnetizable removable device can also be used to protect the magnetic sole when walking on the ground or surfaces that do not require magnetic grip.
