[0059] Embodiment 1

[0060] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the present embodiment provides a knitted shoe upper knitted with a foldable eye protection area 3, comprising a basic shoe upper 1 and an eye protection extended knitting surface 2, the eye protection area 3 is provided on the basic shoe upper 1 for the shoe cord 6 to pass through, the area of the basic shoe upper 1 where the eye protection area 3 is located is integrally knitted with the eye protection extended knitting surface 2, and the eye protection extended knitting surface 2 is folded to cover the eye protection area 3.

[0061] The eye protection area 3 is provided with a shoelace hole 4, which is a through hole type. The through hole type refers to the common hole structure in the existing vamp. The size of the hole structure is usually large enough to allow the shoelace 6 to pass through. Adjacent shoelace holes 4 are usually arranged at equal intervals. A folding line 5 is arranged between the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the base vamp 1. The folding line 5 refers to the junction line between the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the base vamp 1. When integrated knitting, the position of the junction line can be easily folded by changing the knitting method, so that the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the base vamp 1 are more closely fitted. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded along the folding line 5, and the folding direction is outward folding. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is provided in one layer, and the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 forms a double-layer structure with the base vamp 1 after being folded. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is arranged above the eye protection area 3 after being folded once along the folding line 5. In this embodiment, the relative position of the shoelace hole 4 and the folding line 5 of the knitted vamp is that the folding line 5 is closer to the center position of the vamp. The setting direction of the folding line 5 is the length direction of the vamp. Through these basic structures, the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded outward, thereby covering the shoelace hole 4. In this embodiment, the knitted vamp changes the structure of the traditional vamp shoelace hole 4. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is integrally knitted, and the corresponding structure is formed during the manufacture of the vamp, thereby improving the production efficiency. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 can be arranged on the eye protection area 3, thereby increasing the vamp modeling and style. Meanwhile, the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 can be extended to set various styles for decoration.

[0062] On the basis of embodiment 1, the same structure of the shoelace hole 4 as the shoelace hole 4 on the eye protection area 3 is arranged at the corresponding position of the eye protection extension knitted surface 2. The upper and lower layers of the shoelace hole 4 can be correspondingly arranged, or alternately arranged. The shoelace 6 is inserted in the upper and lower layers. At this time, the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 can increase the strength of the eye protection area 3 to a certain extent.

[0063] The position of the folding line 5 is changed, which can change the folding direction, as shown in Figure 7 The folding direction is changed to the tongue direction.

[0064] Embodiment 2

[0065] Referring to Figures 4-6 , this embodiment provides a knitted vamp with a foldable eye protection area 3, which comprises a base vamp 1 and an eye protection extension knitted surface 2. The base vamp 1 is provided with an eye protection area 3 for inserting a shoelace 6. The area of the base vamp 1 where the eye protection area 3 is located is integrally knitted with the eye protection extension knitted surface 2. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded to cover the eye protection area 3. A folding line 5 is arranged between the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the base vamp 1. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is folded along the folding line 5. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is provided in one layer, and a double-layer structure is formed between the eye protection extension knitted surface 2 and the base vamp 1 after being folded. The eye protection extension knitted surface 2 is arranged above the eye protection area 3 after being folded once along the folding line 5.

[0066] The shoe string hole 4 on the base vamp 1 is arranged close to the folding position to form an opening, and the eye protection extended knitted surface 2 is arranged close to the folding position to form another opening communicated with the former opening, and the opening forms a plurality of insertion surfaces on the knitted vamp, and the shoe string 6 is alternately inserted through the insertion surfaces in sequence. The openings are communicated, that is, a large opening, and the large opening structure is referred to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 Compared with the traditional through-hole type shoe string hole 4, the large opening structure combines the eye protection extended knitted surface 2, so that the shoe string 6 is changed in the stringing position, and is more inclined to the folding line 5 position. The traditional shoe string 6 is partially wound on the back of the vamp. In this embodiment, since the shoe string 6 is no longer wound on the back of the vamp, on the one hand, the comfort of the foot when wearing the shoe is improved, and on the other hand, the style and structure of the vamp are more novel.

[0067] In the technical solutions described in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the eye protection extended knitted surface 2 can be integrally knitted in the eye protection area 3 on any one side of the vamp, and the size, shape, position and number of the shoe string hole 4 can be selected and arranged according to requirements, and the contour and size of the eye protection area 3 can be arbitrarily changed. Through the above changes, knitted shoes of different structures can be extended.

[0068] The folding eye protection area in the vamp of the shoe can be a plurality of layers of symmetrical through holes arranged one above another for stringing the shoe string, or a row of through holes or a penetrable opening arranged at the folding position for stringing the shoe string. The former can fold the plurality of eye protection areas together to strengthen the physical properties of the eye protection area, and the latter can cover the shoe string through the extension of the eye protection area, thereby improving the overall visual effect of the vamp.
