Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoes, in particular to a built-in support structure for commuting shoes. Background Art
[0002] As an important pair of shoes for daily wear, the comfort, support and durability of commuter shoes are crucial for commuters.
[0003] Currently, some commuter shoe styles on the market utilize extensive mesh fabrics in pursuit of lightness and breathability, sacrificing supportive uppers. While these shoes offer increased softness and breathability, they can also make the uppers susceptible to deformation from the high-frequency bending of daily commuting, resulting in an erroneous upper shape. This not only affects the aesthetics of the upper but also compromises the shoe's ability to wrap around the commuter's foot. While good wrapping can improve comfort and stability, insufficient upper support can result in the upper appearing too soft and insufficiently wrapping around the commuter's foot, potentially restricting the foot's natural expansion and causing discomfort.
[0004] However, if you blindly pursue the support of the upper of commuter shoes and keep the shoes firm, you will sacrifice a certain degree of softness. This will make the shoe body difficult to bend, which will make commuters walk more strenuously, greatly reducing the comfort of wearing and making it unsuitable for daily commuting. Therefore, balancing the support and softness of the upper is of great significance for daily commuting shoes. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to balance the support and softness of the upper of daily commuting shoes, so that the commuting shoes have a firm upper shape while not affecting the bending of the shoe body, and have good wearing comfort, the present application provides a built-in support structure for commuting shoes.
[0006] The present application provides a commuter shoe built-in support structure that adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A built-in support structure for commuting shoes includes a support frame arranged inside the shoe body, the support frame includes an upper frame arranged inside the uppers on both sides, a toe frame arranged inside the toe, and a heel frame arranged inside the heel, and the upper frame, the toe frame and the heel frame are integrally formed by hard elastic material.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame made of hard elastic material can effectively and fully support different parts of the shoe body. This not only helps to improve the support of the commuter shoe body, allowing the shoe body to maintain the upper shape for a long time, but also helps to ensure the shoe body's flexibility. While maintaining the commuter shoe's firm upper shape, it will not affect the bending of the shoe body. This greatly reduces the discomfort caused by commuters' feet due to the rigidity of the shoe body, which helps to improve the wearing comfort of commuter shoes. In addition, the one-piece support frame can also appropriately increase the structural strength of the support frame, which helps to improve the support strength of the support frame.
[0009] Optionally, the upper frame, the toe frame and the heel frame are all hollowed out.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the preparation materials of the support frame be saved and the overall weight of the support frame be reduced, but the softness and overall breathability of the shoe body can also be maintained.
[0011] Optionally, the upper skeleton includes an upper top bone, an upper bottom bone and several groups of upper support bones;
[0012] The upper top bone is buried inside the upper on the side away from the sole; the upper bottom bone is buried inside the upper on the side close to the sole; several groups of the upper support bones are buried inside the upper and are located between the upper top bone and the upper bottom bone, and the two ends of the upper support bones are respectively connected to the upper top bone and the upper bottom bone, and the upper support bones are in an arc-shaped structure with the opening facing the inner side of the shoe body.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper frames on both sides cooperate with each other to form an enclosing structure. The enclosing support structure can not only effectively support the upper so that the upper can fully cover the instep of commuters, but also reserve enough space through the support of the upper frame to prevent excessive wrapping due to the upper being too soft and collapsing, which is conducive to the natural expansion of the upper and improves wearing comfort.
[0014] Optionally, the shoe upper top bone includes a shoe tongue portion and a shoe opening portion;
[0015] The tongue portion is located inside the shoe upper on both sides of the tongue, the shoe opening portion is located inside the shoe upper on both sides of the shoe opening, the tongue portion and the shoe opening portion are connected to each other, and the tongue portion and the shoe opening portion are respectively connected to a plurality of independent shoe upper support bones.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the tongue can support and shape the top of the upper through the upper support bones, so that the end of the upper close to the tongue can remain firm and is not easy to collapse toward the inner side of the shoe body with the tongue; the shoe opening can support and shape the front end of the shoe opening through the upper support bones, so that the shoe opening can remain open, making it easier for commuters to wear.
[0017] Optionally, the tongue portion is further provided with a plurality of shoe upper bone eyes corresponding to the shoe eyes.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when threading the shoelaces, the shoelaces can pass through the upper bone eyelets and the shoe eyelets at the same time, and then the shoelaces can tighten the upper by pulling the top bone of the upper. Not only can the wrapping of the upper be adjusted by tightening the upper skeleton on both sides, but also, compared to directly pulling the upper through the shoelaces, it can effectively prevent the upper from being damaged by direct pulling, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the upper.
[0019] Optionally, the shoe upper sole includes a forefoot portion and an arch portion;
[0020] The forefoot portion is located inside the shoe upper on both sides of the corresponding forefoot, the arch portion is located inside the shoe upper on both sides of the corresponding arch, the forefoot portion and the arch portion are connected to each other, the forefoot portion and the arch portion both have an arc-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped openings of the forefoot portion and the arch portion both face the sole.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the forefoot and the arch of the foot are both in an arc-shaped structure with the opening facing the sole, so that the sole bone of the upper forms an "M"-shaped structure. Since the forefoot and the arch of the foot are bent to a large extent when commuters walk normally, by setting the forefoot and the arch of the foot to be in an arc-shaped structure with the opening facing the sole, the sole bone of the upper can bend with the shoe body when commuters walk normally, without affecting the natural bending of the shoe body during normal walking, which is conducive to maintaining the natural movement of the commuters' feet and reducing fatigue caused by the shoe body restricting foot movement.
[0022] Optionally, the toe skeleton includes a toe face bone, a toe point bone and a toe support bone;
[0023] The toe bone is located inside the toe of the shoe near the tongue, and the two ends of the toe bone are respectively connected to the top ends of the upper skeletons on both sides;
[0024] The toe tip bone is located inside the toe on a side away from the tongue, and both ends of the toe tip bone are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the upper skeletons on both sides, and the toe tip bone is an arc-shaped structure with an opening facing the heel;
[0025] The toe support bone is embedded in the interior of the toe, and the two ends of the toe support bone are respectively connected to the toe surface bone and the toe tip bone. The toe support bone is an arc structure along the upper with an opening toward the inner side of the shoe body.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the toe face bone, toe point bone and toe support bone are combined with each other to form an enclosing structure for the toes of commuters, and can effectively support the toe. It not only reserves enough space in the toe through support, allowing the commuter's toes to move naturally, which is conducive to improving wearing comfort, but also prevents the toe from collapsing due to being too soft and affecting the overall appearance of the shoe body.
[0027] Optionally, the heel skeleton includes a heel top bone, a heel bottom bone and a heel support bone;
[0028] The heel top bone is located inside the heel near the shoe opening, and the two ends of the heel top bone are respectively connected to the top ends of the upper skeletons on both sides;
[0029] The heel base bone is located inside the heel near the sole, and the two ends of the heel base bone are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the upper frames on both sides. The heel base bone is an arc-shaped structure with an opening facing the sole, and the arc-shaped top of the heel base bone fully bypasses the position of the heel;
[0030] The heel support bone is embedded in the interior of the heel, and two ends of the heel support bone are respectively connected to the heel top bone and the heel tip bone.
[0031] By adopting this technical solution, the top heel bone cooperates with the top upper bone to form a support structure surrounding the shoe opening, effectively supporting the shoe opening and preventing the rear end of the shoe opening from collapsing toward the inside of the shoe due to being too soft, while also making it easier for commuters to wear the shoe. Furthermore, the bottom heel bone cooperates with the bottom upper bone to form a surrounding structure for the commuter's heel, thus supporting the heel in conjunction with the heel support bone. Furthermore, the curved structure of the bottom heel bone does not affect the natural movement of the commuter's heel, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the shoe.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution,
[0033] In summary, the technical solution of this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0034] 1. By setting support frames made of hard elastic materials at different parts of the shoe body, it is not only beneficial to improve the support of the commuter shoe body, so that the commuter shoe can maintain the shape of the upper for a long time and is not prone to deformation of the shoe body after long-term wear, but also ensures the softness of the commuter shoe body, reduces commuters' foot discomfort caused by the shoe body being too hard, and is beneficial to improving the wearing comfort of commuter shoes.
[0035] 2. By opening a shoe eyelet on the tongue of the upper bone, when threading the shoelace, the shoelace can pass through the shoe eyelet and the shoe eyelet at the same time, and then the shoelace can be used to tighten the upper by pulling the upper bone. This not only can adjust the wrapping of the upper by tightening the upper skeleton on both sides, but also can effectively prevent the upper from being damaged by direct pulling compared to directly pulling the upper with the shoelace, which is conducive to improving the service life of the upper.

[0040] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 A commuting shoe includes a shoe body 1, which is composed of an upper 11, a toe cap 12, a heel 13, a tongue 14, and a sole 15. The upper 11 is located on both sides of the shoe body 1 and is mainly used to cover the feet of commuters. The toe cap 12 and the heel 13 are connected to each other through the upper 11 on both sides. The top of the upper 11 on both sides is connected to the top of the heel 13 and forms a shoe opening 16. The tongue 14 is located in the middle of the upper 11 on both sides. The base of the tongue 14 is connected to the toe cap 12 and extends along the upper 11 toward the heel 13. The sole 15 is located at the bottom of the shoe body 1 and is connected to the upper 11, heel 13, and toe cap 12. Furthermore, the upper 11 on both sides of the tongue 14 is provided with a plurality of eyelets 111 for threading shoelaces.
[0042] The embodiment of the present application discloses a built-in support structure for commuting shoes. Figure 2A built-in support structure for commuting shoes includes a support frame 2 disposed inside a shoe body 1. The support frame 2 includes an upper frame 21 disposed inside the uppers 11 on both sides, a toe frame 22 disposed inside the toe cap 12, and a heel frame 23 disposed inside the heel 13. The upper frame 21, toe frame 22, and heel frame 23 are interconnected and integrally injection-molded from a hard elastic material. By disposing the support frame 2 at different locations within the shoe body 1, the support frame 2, having a certain degree of hardness and elasticity, can fully support the shoe body 1. This not only helps improve the support of the commuting shoe body 1, allowing the shoe body 1 to maintain the shape of the upper 11 for a long time, but also helps ensure the softness of the shoe body 1, helping to reduce foot discomfort for commuters caused by an overly hard shoe body 1.
[0043] Specifically, the hard elastic material used to form the support frame 2 may include, but is not limited to, any one of TPU, foamed EVA, and carbon fiber. In this embodiment, the support frame 2 is integrally injection-molded with TPU. Furthermore, the upper frame 21, toe frame 22, and heel frame 23 all adopt a skeleton-style hollow design, which not only saves material for preparing the support frame 2 but also maintains the breathability of the shoe body 1.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 The upper skeleton 21 includes a top upper bone 211, a bottom upper bone 212, and a plurality of upper ribs 213. The top upper bone 211 is embedded in the interior of the upper 11 away from the sole 15, the bottom upper bone 212 is embedded in the interior of the upper 11 close to the sole 15, and the plurality of upper ribs 213 are embedded in the interior of the upper 11 and are located between the top upper bone 211 and the bottom upper bone 212. The plurality of upper ribs 213 are used to connect the top upper bone 211 and the bottom upper bone 212. Specifically, the upper support bone 213 is an arc-shaped structure with its opening facing the inner side of the shoe body 1, thereby forming an enclosing structure through the cooperation of the upper skeletons 21 on both sides. The enclosing support structure can not only effectively support the upper 11, so that the upper 11 can fully cover the instep of the commuter, but also reserve sufficient space through the support of the upper skeleton 21 to prevent excessive wrapping due to the upper 11 being too soft and collapsing, which is conducive to the natural expansion of the upper 11 and improves wearing comfort.
[0045] Reference Figure 2The upper top bone 211 includes a tongue portion 2111 and a shoe opening portion 2112. The tongue portion 2111 and shoe opening portion 2112 are interconnected, and are each connected to a plurality of independent upper support bones 213. Specifically, the tongue portion 2111 is located inside the upper 11 on both sides of the tongue 14. It cooperates with the upper support bones 213 to support and shape the top of the upper 11, ensuring that the end of the upper 11 near the tongue 14 remains firm and does not collapse toward the inside of the shoe body 1. The shoe opening portion 2112 is located inside the upper 11 on both sides of the shoe opening 16. It cooperates with the upper support bones 213 to support and shape the front end of the shoe opening 16, ensuring that the shoe opening 16 remains open for easy wearing by commuters.
[0046] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tongue 2111 is also provided with several upper bone eyes 21111 corresponding to the shoe eyes 111. When the shoelace is threaded, the shoelace passes through the upper bone eyes 21111 and the shoe eyes 111 at the same time. Then, when the shoelace is tightened, the shoelace can tighten the upper 11 by pulling the upper top bone 211. Not only can the wrapping of the upper 11 be adjusted by tightening the upper skeleton 21 on both sides, but also compared with directly pulling the upper 11 through the shoelace, it can effectively prevent the upper 11 from being damaged by direct pulling, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the upper 11.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 The upper bottom bone 212 includes a forefoot portion 2121 and an arch portion 2122. The forefoot portion 2121 and the arch portion 2122 are connected to each other, and are also connected to a plurality of independent upper support bones 213. Specifically, the forefoot portion 2121 is located inside the upper 11 on both sides of the commuter's forefoot, and the arch portion 2122 is located inside the upper 11 on both sides of the commuter's arch. Furthermore, the forefoot portion 2121 and the arch portion 2122 are both arc-shaped structures, and the arc-shaped openings of the forefoot portion 2121 and the arch portion 2122 are both facing the sole 15, so that the upper bottom bone 212 forms an "M"-shaped structure. Since the forefoot and arch of commuters bend to a large extent when walking normally, by setting the forefoot portion 2121 and the arch portion 2122 into an arc-shaped structure under the opening, the sole bone 212 of the upper can bend along with the shoe body 1 when the commuter walks normally, without affecting the natural bending of the shoe body 1 during normal walking, which is conducive to maintaining the natural movement of the commuter's feet and reducing fatigue caused by the shoe body 1 restricting foot movement.
[0048] Reference Figure 2The toe skeleton 22 includes a toe face bone 221, a toe tip bone 222, and a plurality of toe support bones 223. The toe face bone 221 is embedded in the interior of the toe 12 on the side close to the tongue 14, the toe tip bone 222 is embedded in the interior of the toe 12 on the side away from the tongue 14, and the plurality of toe support bones 223 are embedded in the interior of the toe 12 and are all located between the toe face bone 221 and the toe tip bone 222. The plurality of toe support bones 223 are used to connect the toe face bone 221 and the toe tip bone 222 to each other. Specifically, the ends of the toe bone 221 are connected to the tongues 2111 of the upper frames 21 on either side, forming an arc-shaped structure with an opening toward the sole 15. The ends of the toe spike bone 222 are connected to the forefoot portions 2121 of the upper frames 21 on either side, forming an arc-shaped structure with an opening toward the heel 13. The toe support bone 223 is an arc-shaped structure with an opening toward the inner side of the shoe body 1. Thus, the combination of the toe bone 221, the toe spike bone 222, and the toe support bone 223 forms a structure that surrounds the toes of commuters and effectively supports the toe cap 12. This not only leaves ample space for the toe cap 12 to allow for natural movement, thus improving wearing comfort, but also prevents the toe cap 12 from collapsing due to being too soft, which could affect the overall appearance of the shoe body 1.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 The heel skeleton 23 includes a top heel bone 231, a bottom heel bone 232, and a plurality of heel ribs 233. The top heel bone 231 is embedded in the heel 13 near the shoe opening 16, the bottom heel bone 232 is embedded in the heel 13 near the sole 15, and the plurality of heel ribs 233 are embedded in the heel 13 and are located between the top heel bone 231 and the bottom heel bone 232. The plurality of heel ribs 233 are used to connect the top heel bone 231 and the bottom heel bone 232. Specifically, the ends of the top heel bone 231 are connected to the openings 2112 of the upper frame 21 on either side, forming a support structure that surrounds the opening 16. Together with the upper support bones 213 and the heel support bones 233, they effectively support the opening 16, preventing the rear end of the opening 16 from collapsing toward the inside of the shoe body 1 due to excessive softness, while also making it easier for commuters to wear the shoe. The ends of the bottom heel bone 232 are connected to the arches 2122 of the upper frame 21 on either side, forming a structure that surrounds the commuter's heel and, in conjunction with the heel support bones 233, supports the heel 13. Furthermore, the bottom heel bone 232 is curved, opening toward the sole 15. The top of the heel bone 232 fully bypasses the commuter's heel. Therefore, when the commuter wears the shoe normally, the bottom heel bone 232 does not interfere with the natural movement of the commuter's heel, thereby enhancing the wearing comfort of the shoe body 1.
[0050] The implementation principle of the built-in support structure of a commuter shoe in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0051] By installing support frames 2 made of a hard elastic material at different locations within the shoe body 1, the support frames 2, which have a certain degree of hardness and elasticity, can fully support different parts of the shoe body 1. This not only helps to improve the support of the commuter shoe body 1, allowing the commuter shoe to maintain the shape of the upper 11 for a long time and prevent the shoe body 1 from deforming after long-term wear, but also ensures the softness of the shoe body 1, reducing commuters' foot discomfort caused by an overly hard shoe body 1, and thus improving the wearing comfort of the commuter shoe.
[0052] This specific implementation manner is merely an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the specific implementation manner as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
