Shoe article and knitted part thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a shoe article and a knitted part thereof. The shoe article comprises a vamp and a sole structure which is fixed to the vamp. A shoe cavity is defined by the vamp, so that a foot can be bushed in the shoe cavity. The vamp is formed by the knitted part and comprises plural vamp regions. The knitted part is of a two-dimensional structure which is formed by knitting at least one yarn and comprises plural knitted regions. The plural knitted regions correspond to the plural vamp regions, and a corresponding extension proportion is kept between the plural vamp regions and theplural knitted regions. The number of knitted threads in each of the plural knitted regions is in direct proportion to the corresponding extension proportion, so that a weft column and a warp column,which are formed by at least one yarn in the plural vamp regions, are substantially orthogonal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an article of footwear and knitted components thereof, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an article of footwear that conforms naturally to the foot and knitted components thereof. Background technique [0002] General shoes are made of vamp and sole. The upper is usually in direct contact with the wearer's foot to provide coverage and protection, while the sole is fixed to the bottom of the upper to act as a buffer between the wearer's foot and the ground, thereby reducing the stress caused by the reaction force on the foot. The shoe upper can usually be made of different materials, such as natural leather, synthetic leather, polymer sheets, fabrics, etc., and the knitted shoe upper has the advantage of low manufacturing cost because of its excellent performance in breathability and comfort, making the knitted shoe upper Shoes evolve very quickly. [0003] However, knitted uppers are ge...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, knitted uppers are generally soft and difficult to set, and are usually supported by additional supports or additional shaping techniques are used to shape the upper

The use of additional supports to support the knitted upper tends to have the problems of more complicated manufacturing process, higher material cost and limited appearance design

The use of shape-setting technology usually uses thermoplastic yarns when knitting shoe uppers, and due to the characteristics of thermoplastic materials that melt when heated and solidify when cooled, the entire upper is solidified and fixed, resulting in a decrease in the softness and comfort of the knitted upper.
