Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoe uppers, in particular to a shoe upper with an integrally formed support structure. Background Art

[0002] As a major component of shoes, the performance of the upper directly impacts wearing comfort and the lifespan of the shoe. During exercise or daily wear, the upper must withstand various pressures and motion stresses from the foot, such as stretching, bending, and torsion. Therefore, to maintain the stability and durability of the upper, traditionally, reinforcements are glued or sewn to key areas of the upper to enhance its structure. However, additional reinforcements and stitching techniques can increase the overall weight of the shoe, affecting its lightness. Furthermore, the reinforcements and support materials can affect the breathability of the upper to a certain extent. In particular, overly rigid reinforcements and support structures can limit the upper's flexibility, impacting wearing comfort.

[0003] Based on the above situation, the technical personnel of this case conducted in-depth research on the above issues, which led to the emergence of this case. Utility Model Content

[0004] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the description, or will be understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention can be achieved and obtained through the structures specifically pointed out in the description and other drawings.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, and the present invention provides a shoe upper with an integrally formed support structure.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a shoe upper with an integrally formed support structure, including a shoe upper body and a support structure arranged in the shoe upper body, the shoe upper body is woven with a cavity, and the cavity is filled with a soluble substance to form the support structure.

[0007] The utility model directly fills the cavity of the upper body with soluble substances to form a support structure, thereby realizing the integral molding of the support structure and the upper body. At the same time, the support structure can strengthen and reinforce the upper, thereby improving the durability, comfort and safety of the upper.

[0008] In some embodiments, the support structure is a hidden support structure or / and an exposed support structure. The present invention can set the support structure as a hidden support structure or / and an exposed support structure according to actual conditions or consumer preferences.

[0009] In some embodiments, the hidden support structure is a planar structure formed by hot pressing the soluble material into a mold. The utility model can heat press the soluble material into a planar structure to provide local reinforcement and invisible support, thereby increasing the durability and practicality of the shoe upper.

[0010] In some embodiments, the exposed support structure is a raised structure formed by hot pressing the soluble material into a mold. The utility model heat presses the soluble material into a raised structure to increase the three-dimensional concave-convex effect of the shoe upper, and improves the aesthetics and cushioning of the shoe upper.

[0011] In some embodiments, the melting point of the soluble substance is less than or equal to the melting point of the upper body. The melting point of the soluble substance of the present invention is less than or equal to the melting point of the upper body, which is conducive to hot pressing and melting of the soluble substance and protecting the upper body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the soluble substance is one or more of plastic yarn, soluble particles, and soluble powder. The present invention utilizes soluble substances such as plastic yarn, soluble particles, and soluble powder, which, when subjected to a hot-pressing molding process, can change their form and bond with the upper body to enhance the structure of the upper, thereby providing support and reinforcement.

[0013] In some embodiments, the heights of the protrusions in different cavities are inconsistent. The inconsistent heights of the protrusions in different cavities of the present invention increase the three-dimensional concave-convex effect of the shoe upper.

[0014] In some embodiments, the heights of the protrusions in the same cavity are inconsistent. The utility model achieves a multi-level cushioning effect by having the protrusions in the same cavity with inconsistent heights, which can significantly reduce the impact on the foot and provide safety and comfort when wearing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the raised structure is raised toward the outer surface and / or inner surface of the upper body. The raised structure on the outer surface of the present invention not only enhances the visual effect of the upper but also increases the breathability of the upper to a certain extent. The raised structure on the inner surface provides additional invisible support and reinforcement for the upper, thereby enhancing wearing comfort.

[0016] In some embodiments, the hidden support structure is provided at the toe portion of the upper body. The utility model provides a hidden support structure at the toe portion, which not only improves wearing comfort, support, and durability, but also maintains a simple and smooth overall appearance of the upper.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. The utility model directly fills the cavity of the upper body with a soluble substance to form a support structure, thereby realizing the integral molding of the support structure and the upper body. At the same time, the support structure can strengthen and reinforce the upper, thereby improving the durability, comfort and safety of the upper.

[0019] 2. The support structure of the present invention can be hidden or exposed, which increases the diversity of the reinforcing support of the upper. The height of the exposed raised structure is inconsistent, which not only increases the three-dimensional concave-convex effect of the upper, but also realizes multi-level cushioning and support, significantly reducing the impact on the foot and improving the comfort and safety of wearing.
