Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soles, in particular to a forefoot shockproof sole. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the emphasis on health, the requirements for shoes are getting higher and higher. Especially in sports and daily walking, the performance of the soles has a vital impact on the comfort and health of the feet.
[0003] While there are numerous shoe soles on the market, some remain deficient in their shockproofing of the forefoot. Traditional soles typically utilize a single material or simple structural design, offering limited shockproofing for the forefoot. During exercise, the forefoot bears significant pressure and impact. If the soles fail to effectively absorb and disperse these forces, foot fatigue, pain, and even injury can easily result.
[0004] For example, while the soles of some athletic shoes have some shock-absorbing properties, they primarily focus on the heel, with less attention paid to the forefoot. During running, jumping, and other activities, the forefoot strikes the ground first, bearing the greater impact. Without proper shock absorption, long-term damage to the foot joints and muscles can occur. Utility Model Content

[0009] The utility model is further configured such that a groove for embedding the shock absorbing component is provided on the bottom surface of the sole body.
[0010] The utility model is further configured such that the middle shock-absorbing strip and the side shock-absorbing strips are respectively provided with shock-absorbing blocks protruding downwards.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the width of the shock absorbing block is greater than the width of the middle shock absorbing strip and the side shock absorbing strip.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the lower side surface of the side shock-absorbing strip is flush with the lower side surface of the sole body.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the middle shock absorbing strip is smaller than the length of the side shock absorbing strips.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] The forefoot shock-proof sole provided by the utility model, the shock-absorbing member with an E-shaped structure, combined with the characteristic that its hardness is greater than the sole body, can provide a significant shock-absorbing effect. It can effectively reduce the impact force on the forefoot when landing, reducing the risk of foot injuries, especially for people who frequently engage in sports such as running and jumping, it has an important protective effect.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Reference as follows Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model is described as follows:
[0022] Embodiment: A forefoot shock-absorbing sole comprises a sole body 1. The sole body 1 is the foundational structure of the entire shock-absorbing sole, providing support and a platform for the foot to contact the ground. It is typically made of materials such as rubber and polyurethane and possesses a certain degree of elasticity and wear resistance. The front end of the sole body refers to the portion corresponding to the forefoot when worn. A shock absorber is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the front end of the sole body 1. This shock absorber directly contacts the ground and plays the important role of absorbing and dispersing impact force. The shock absorber is an E-shaped structure. This unique shape is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption in different directions. The various parts of the E-shape can deform and rebound according to the force applied, effectively cushioning the forefoot from impact during walking or exercise. The opening of the shock absorber is positioned toward the rear end of the sole body 1. This layout may help direct impact force to other parts of the sole, further dispersing pressure and improving shock absorption performance. The hardness of the shock absorber is greater than that of the sole body 1. This is because the harder shock absorbers can better resist the reaction force of the ground, reduce deformation, and effectively transmit and disperse the impact force to other parts of the sole. The sole body is relatively soft, which can provide better comfort and fit.
[0023] When the wearer's forefoot touches the ground, the shock absorber first contacts the ground and bears the impact force from the ground. Due to the high hardness of the shock absorber, it can resist deformation to a certain extent and avoid excessive compression. When the shock absorber with an E-shaped structure is subjected to impact force, each part will deform to varying degrees depending on the direction of the force. For example, the middle shock absorber strip in the middle will be compressed downward, and the side shock absorber strips on both sides will bend to the sides. This deformation process absorbs part of the impact force and reduces the force transmitted to the foot. As the shock absorber deforms, it gradually stores elastic potential energy. When the impact force weakens, the shock absorber begins to rebound, releasing the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the foot upward, and providing assistance for the next step of walking or movement.
[0024] The opening of the shock-absorbing member is positioned toward the rear end of the sole body 1, allowing the impact force to be dispersed along the fore-and-aft direction of the sole. A portion of the impact force is transferred to the rear end of the sole body through the shock-absorbing member, thereby reducing the burden on the forefoot. The elasticity of the sole body also helps to further disperse the impact force. When the shock-absorbing member transfers the force to the sole body, the material of the sole body deforms, distributing the force over a larger area and reducing local pressure.
[0025] The shock-absorbing element includes side damping strips 2 located on the left and right sides and a middle damping strip 3 located in the middle. The front ends of the middle damping strips 3 and the front ends of the side damping strips 2 are interconnected, and the length of the middle damping strips 3 is shorter than that of the side damping strips 2. The middle damping strips 3 and the side damping strips 2 are both arranged in a front-to-back direction, consistent with the movement of the foot. This design better adapts to the forward and backward movement and bending of the forefoot during walking or exercise, providing more effective shock absorption. The middle damping strip 3 is located in the middle of the sole body 1, and the side damping strips 2 are located on the left and right sides of the sole body 1.
[0026] The bottom surface of the sole body 1 is provided with a groove 4 for embedding the shock-absorbing element. The underside of the side shock-absorbing strip 2 is flush with the underside of the sole body 1. The design of the groove 4 ensures that the shock-absorbing element is securely mounted to the sole body, preventing it from loosening or shifting during use. This ensures the sole's shock-absorbing performance remains stable and reliable, improving product quality and service life.
[0027] The center shock-absorbing strip 3 and the side shock-absorbing strips 2 are each equipped with a downwardly protruding shock-absorbing block 5. This design allows the shock-absorbing block to directly contact the ground, immediately absorbing the impact force from the ground. The downwardly protruding shape increases the contact area between the shock-absorbing block and the ground, improving the shock-absorbing effect. At the same time, this design also allows the shock-absorbing block to better deform when subjected to impact force, absorbing and dissipating the impact force. Multiple shock-absorbing blocks 5 are provided, spaced apart along the length of the center shock-absorbing strip 3 and the side shock-absorbing strips 2. This layout allows the shock-absorbing blocks to share the impact force at different locations, avoiding excessive local pressure. The width of the shock-absorbing block 5 is greater than that of the center shock-absorbing strip 3 and the side shock-absorbing strip 2. This design further increases the contact area between the shock-absorbing block and the ground, improving the shock-absorbing effect. Furthermore, the wider shock-absorbing block provides greater stability, preventing the foot from slipping during walking or exercise.
[0028] When the wearer's forefoot strikes the ground, shock-absorbing block 5 first contacts the ground, bearing the impact force. Due to its wide width, the shock-absorbing block distributes the impact force over a larger area, reducing direct pressure on the center and side shock-absorbing strips 3 and 2. The spacing of the multiple shock-absorbing blocks disperses the impact force at different locations, preventing damage to the shock-absorbing strips caused by excessive localized pressure.
[0029] Shock absorbers can be made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which has excellent elasticity and wear resistance, and can withstand repeated compression and stretching without deformation. Its high hardness can provide good support for the forefoot.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
