Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoe product structures, in particular to a wading shoe structure. Background Art
[0002] Wading shoes, also known as "river tracing shoes," "amphibious shoes," and "drainage shoes," are shoes that are slip-resistant, water-repellent, and even dry quickly after getting wet. These shoes are used for a wide range of activities, including camping, mountaineering, river tracing, water play, picnics, fishing, and beach activities. Existing wading shoes typically have through-holes in the upper to allow for rapid drainage when walking in water. However, when walking on muddy and sandy roads, fine sand and gravel can easily enter the through-holes and reach the shoe upper, affecting wearer comfort.
[0003] Furthermore, the main purpose of wading shoes is walking in streams. These streams are uneven, with numerous underwater obstacles such as pebbles and rocks that are difficult to see. When walking, the toes are very likely to hit obstacles, causing toe injuries and pain, so further protection of the toes is needed.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of wading shoes so that they can have both drainage functions and prevent mud and sand from entering the through holes when walking on muddy roads. At the same time, the protection of the toes can be improved to avoid kicking and collision injuries when walking in stream areas. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies of the above technologies, the utility model provides a wading shoe structure.
[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a wading shoe structure, including a sole, an insole, and an upper, wherein a plurality of drainage openings are provided on both sides of the upper in the width direction, and the characteristic is that: the upper is provided with a protective toe cap at the toe, and the protective toe cap is provided with a pair of elastic bands, and Velcro is provided around the plurality of drainage openings, on the elastic bands, and at the protective toe cap, and the pair of elastic bands are folded and stored at the protective toe cap and fixed to the Velcro, or unfolded toward both sides of the upper in the width direction to cover the plurality of drainage openings and fixed to the Velcro.
[0007] Further configuration of the present invention: the insole is made of waterproof material, and is provided with a plurality of sole drainage grooves and heel drainage grooves. The two ends of the plurality of sole drainage grooves are respectively connected to the drainage outlets on both sides of the upper, and the heel drainage groove is connected to the sole drainage groove from the heel.
[0008] A further configuration of the present invention is that a detachable filter screen is provided at the drain outlet, and the filter screen is fixed to the drain outlet with a Velcro.
[0009] The present invention is further provided with an opening at the heel of the shoe upper, and Velcro is provided around the opening. The shoe upper also includes a detachable heel pad or heel filter, and the heel pad or heel filter is fixed to the Velcro at the opening.
[0010] The present invention is further provided with a groove at the head portion of the protective shoe for accommodating a pair of elastic bands.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a protective shoe head is provided at the toe to protect the toes, but an increased thickness of the protective shoe head will cause the center of the shoe to tilt forward, affecting the walking posture, while a thinner thickness of the protective shoe head will reduce the protective effect.
[0012] Therefore, balancing thickness and protection is a challenge. This invention employs a pair of elastic bands at the toe of the protective shoe. When walking in streams, the bands can be folded and stored at the toe of the protective shoe, secured with Velcro, opening the drain port. This allows for rapid drainage while walking in water, reducing walking resistance. Furthermore, if you bump into an obstacle while walking in the stream, the folded elastic bands can be used to cushion the impact, and the folded structure temporarily increases the thickness of the toe of the protective shoe, providing additional toe protection.
[0013] When walking on land, the elastic bands unfold to the sides of the upper, covering the drain holes and connecting to the surrounding Velcro, thus shielding the drain holes and preventing land-borne sand from entering the shoe cavity through the drain holes. At the same time, the weight, which was originally concentrated at the toe box, is evenly distributed on both sides of the upper, balancing the center of gravity and making walking more comfortable.
[0014] The design of this structure not only meets the needs of wading shoes in both land and water scenarios, but the elastic band combined with the structure of the shoe body can be easily operated and quickly switched.
[0015] In further design, taking into account the problem of drainage efficiency in the shoe cavity after wading, waterproof material is set on the insole to prevent water absorption. At the same time, several sole drainage grooves and heel drainage grooves are also set on the insole. Taking advantage of the walking posture of the foot, the heel is frequently lifted. The heel drainage groove is used to guide the accumulated water in the shoe cavity to the sole drainage groove as the foot is lifted, and then quickly discharged through the drainage outlet, thereby increasing the drainage efficiency in the shoe cavity.
[0016] In further designs, a removable filter is provided at the drainage outlet, which can provide conditions when it is necessary to strengthen the protection of the toe, prevent mud and sand from entering, and enhance air permeability.
[0017] In further design, an opening and Velcro are set at the heel of the shoe upper, and a detachable heel pad or heel filter is designed, so that the wading shoes designed can change into three forms: increased breathability, complete closure, and exposed heels, to meet the needs of consumers in different scenarios.

[0023] To make the technical solution and its advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of the present application and are only used to explain the present application, not to limit the present application. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, and other related parts can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
[0024] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-3 As shown,
[0025] A wading shoe structure includes a sole 1, an insole 2, and an upper 3. Several drainage openings 31 are provided on both sides of the upper 3 in the width direction. The upper 3 is provided with a protective toe cap 32 at the toe. The protective toe cap 32 is provided with a pair of elastic bands 33. Velcro 34 is provided around the several drainage openings 31, on the elastic bands 33, and at the protective toe cap 32. The pair of elastic bands 33 are folded and stored in the protective toe cap 32 and fixed to the Velcro 34, or unfolded toward both sides of the upper 3 in the width direction to cover the several drainage openings 31 and fixed to the Velcro 34 around the drainage openings 31.
[0026] The insole 2 is made of waterproof material and is provided with a plurality of sole drainage grooves 21 and a heel drainage groove 22. The ends of the plurality of sole drainage grooves are respectively connected to the drainage ports 31 on both sides of the upper 3. The heel drainage groove is connected to the sole drainage groove from the heel.
[0027] The drain outlet 31 is provided with a detachable filter screen, which is fixed to the drain outlet 31 with a Velcro 34 .
[0028] The shoe upper 3 is provided with an opening 35 at the heel, and a Velcro 34 is provided around the opening 35 . The shoe upper 3 also includes a detachable heel pad or heel filter 36 , which is fixed to the Velcro 34 at the opening 35 .
[0029] The protective shoe head portion 32 is provided with a groove for receiving a pair of elastic bands 33 .
[0030] The protective shoe head 32 is provided at the toe to protect the toes, but if the thickness of the protective shoe head 32 is increased, the center of the shoe will tilt forward, affecting the walking posture, while if the thickness of the protective shoe head 32 is thin, the protective effect will be reduced.
[0031] Therefore, balancing thickness and protection is a challenge. This invention employs a pair of elastic bands 33 attached to the toe cap 32 of the protective shoe. When walking in streams, the elastic bands 33 can be folded and stored at the toe cap 32, securing them to the Velcro 34. This opens the drain 31, allowing water to drain quickly while walking in the water and reducing walking resistance. Furthermore, if you bump into an obstacle while walking in the stream, the folded elastic bands 33 can be used to cushion the impact, and the folded structure temporarily increases the thickness of the toe cap 32, providing additional toe protection.
[0032] When walking on land, the elastic band 33 stretches out to both sides of the upper 3, covering the drain holes 31 and securely connected to the surrounding Velcro 34. This shields the drain holes 31 and prevents land-borne mud and sand from entering the shoe cavity through the drain holes 31. At the same time, the weight, previously concentrated at the toe of the shoe, is evenly distributed on both sides of the upper 3, balancing the center of gravity and making walking more comfortable.
[0033] The design of this structure not only meets the needs of wading shoes in both land and water scenarios, but also the elastic band 33 can be easily operated and quickly switched in conjunction with the structure of the shoe body.
[0034] In a further design, taking into account the drainage efficiency problem in the shoe cavity after wading, waterproof material is provided on the insole 2 to prevent water absorption. At the same time, a number of sole drainage grooves 21 and heel drainage grooves 22 are also provided on the insole 2. Taking advantage of the walking posture of the foot, the heel is frequently lifted up, and the heel drainage grooves 22 are used to guide the accumulated water in the shoe cavity into the sole drainage grooves 21 as the foot is lifted up, and then quickly discharged through the drainage port 31, thereby increasing the drainage efficiency in the shoe cavity.
[0035] In a further design, a detachable filter screen is provided at the drain outlet 31, which can provide conditions when it is necessary to strengthen the protection of the toe, prevent mud and sand from entering, and enhance the air permeability.
[0036] In a further design, an opening 35 and a Velcro 34 are provided at the heel of the upper 3, and a detachable heel pad or heel filter 36 is designed, so that the wading shoes of this design can change into three forms: increased breathability, complete closure, and heel exposure, to meet the needs of consumers in different scenarios.
[0037] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
