Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a shoe with excellent fit and dual support performance. Background Technology

[0002] Footwear typically comprises two main components: the upper and the sole. Modern shoes generally use a sole to provide cushioning, directly contacting the outside environment, while the upper, mounted on the sole, fully wraps the foot, effectively improving the shoe-foot integration and providing good comfort during exercise. The fit between the shoe and the foot is primarily achieved by pulling on the laces on the upper, causing it to contract inwards and conform to the shape of the user's foot. However, the limited area of ​​the laces means the upper may not provide sufficient lateral support, making the foot prone to rollover and sprains. Additionally, the sole requires good support, typically featuring support plates in the bottom and multi-layered soles; however, these support plates are fixed. As is well known, shoe users are diverse, with differences in foot shape, weight, and activity characteristics, resulting in varying requirements for sole support performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a shoe with good fit and dual support performance to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a shoe with excellent wrapping and dual support performance, comprising an upper and a sole, wherein the upper is disposed on the sole; the bottom surface of the sole is provided with a cross-shaped fixing groove, and the bottom surface of the sole is provided with an even number of movable grooves arranged along the width direction of the shoe at intervals; each movable groove is provided with a pull cord, and two fixing beads are threaded through the pull cord at the position of the cross-shaped fixing groove; a metal rope is disposed in the cross-shaped fixing groove, and the metal rope passes through each fixing bead in sequence and is in a closed state; the metal rope is laid in the cross-shaped fixing groove in a cross-shaped structure; a cross-shaped buckle is provided in the cross-shaped fixing groove, the cross-shaped buckle is fixed in the cross-shaped fixing groove, and the horizontal arms on both sides of the cross-shaped buckle are fixed to the sides of the upper; the ten The inner surface of the buckle plate is provided with a fixing bead groove corresponding to the position of the fixing bead.
