The shoe lifter function is built in, easy putting on and taking off are achieved, meanwhile, the stand collar part effectively protects the heel lining and the sock heel, the service life of the shoe sock is greatly prolonged, and the shoe lifter has the advantages of being ingenious in structure, convenient to use and wide in applicability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a footwear accessory and footwear, particularly an integrated insole that guides the putting on and taking off of shoes and socks and a shoe containing the insole. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, low-top shoes and leather shoes, as commonly known, typically have a relatively tight heel design for a comfortable fit. Users often need to pull the heel forcefully with their hands or use a shoehorn to overcome friction and slide the heel into the shoe. This traditional method of putting on shoes has significant drawbacks: First, frequent pulling and friction can cause premature wear, deformation, or even breakage of the heel and lining materials, severely affecting the shoe's lifespan and appearance. Second, the direct friction between the heel and the back of the shoe due to its structure is a major cause of sock heel wear and tear, increasing the user's cost of use. Third, for the elderly, those with back problems, or people with mobility issues, bending over to pull up shoes is both difficult and poses a safety risk.

[0003] While standalone shoehorns are available on the market as auxiliary tools, they suffer from drawbacks such as needing to be carried separately, being easily lost, and having limited usability (e.g., inconvenient to use outdoors or in areas without support). These issues do not fundamentally address the pain points at the product design level. Therefore, the industry needs an innovative structure integrated into the shoe that simplifies the putting-on and taking-off process while effectively protecting the shoes and socks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, such as inconvenience in wearing shoes and easy wear and tear on shoes and socks, and to provide an integrated insole and shoe with ingenious structure, convenient use and effective extension of the service life of shoes and socks.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A one-piece insole with a built-in guide collar is characterized by integrating the insole, guide collar, and fixed pull tab into a single, organic unit. Specifically, the insole body extends integrally upwards from the heel end to form the collar, and a foldable pull tab extends from the top of the collar. The pull tab is detachably secured to the rear of the shoe body via a connector (such as a snap).

[0007] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a shoe comprising the one-piece insole described in any of the above claims.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0009] 1. Revolutionary simplification of putting on and taking off: With the one-piece molded stand-up collar and pull tab, users only need to lift the pull tab to form a smooth guiding channel when putting on the shoes, so that the heel can slide in smoothly, completely eliminating the dependence on a separate shoehorn or pulling the shoe upper by hand, which is especially convenient for the elderly and people with mobility impairments.

[0010] 2. Double protection, extended lifespan: For shoes: The stand-up collar and pull tab act as built-in "wear-resistant shields," directly bearing most of the friction from the heel. As an easily replaceable one-piece insole, it protects the relatively valuable heel of the shoes, significantly improving their durability. For socks: The smooth and seamless inner wall of the stand-up collar greatly reduces the coefficient of friction with the socks, fundamentally solving the problem of easily worn-out sock heels.

[0011] 3. Integrated Structure, Optimized Experience: The one-piece molding design eliminates scattered parts, ensuring reliability and aesthetics. Once properly worn, the pull tab can be concealed and secured, without affecting comfort or appearance. The stand-up collar provides additional support and wrapping, enhancing stability and comfort.

[0012] 4. Wide applicability and great market potential: This design can be adapted to various types of footwear, including leather shoes, casual shoes, sports shoes, and even ankle boots, and has extremely high versatility and commercial value. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See Figure 1The integrated insole provided in this embodiment of the invention mainly includes an insole body (2-1), a collar (2-2), and a pull-up part (2-3). These three parts are preferably integrally molded using a molding process. The substrate can be high-elasticity EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) foam, PU (polyurethane) foam, or latex, etc. The inner surface of the collar (2-2) is laminated or sewn with a layer of smooth, wear-resistant material, such as microfiber fleece, Teflon-coated fabric, or a smooth polyester film.

[0020] On the back of the pull-up part (2-3) (i.e. the side facing the foot), a male or female snap fastener (3-2) is fixed; on the corresponding area of ​​the heel of the shoe, a female or male snap fastener (3-1) corresponding to the snap fastener is fixed; in other embodiments, the connectors (3-1, 3-2) may also be replaced with the hook and loop sides of Velcro, or a pair of magnetically opposite snap fasteners.

[0021] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Its usage process is as follows:

[0022] The process of putting on shoes ( Figure 2 Pinch the pull tab (2-3) with your fingers to open the connectors (3-1, 3-2), and gently pull it forward and upward to open the collar (2-2) outward, forming a wide guide channel. The user inserts their foot into the shoe (1), and the heel slides easily along the smooth inner wall of the collar (2-2) until fully in place. This process is smooth and effortless, and avoids hard friction between the heel and the shoe upper.

[0023] • Fixed process ( Figure 3 After the heel is properly positioned, fold the pull tab (2-3) backward and downward so that the male or female snap (3-2) on its back aligns with the corresponding female or male snap (3-1) of the heel fixing snap and press to fasten. At this time, the collar (2-2) is firmly attached to the inner side of the back of the heel, while the pull tab (2-3) is attached to the outer side of the back of the heel. The insole body is completely attached to the sole without any foreign body sensation, completing the transition from the "guiding state" to the "wearing state".

[0024] When you need to take off your shoes, you can remove them directly like regular shoes; or you can pinch the pull tab (2-3) with your fingers, loosen the connector (3-1, 3-2) with a little force, and then lift the pull tab (2-3) to easily remove your shoes. The entire one-piece insole can be removed from the shoe for easy cleaning, drying, or replacement, improving the product's hygiene and lifespan.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principles and core implementation methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
