Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a type of infant shoe, and more particularly to an infant shoe with a strong sense of support and comfort. Background Technology

[0002] Infant walking shoes are widely used to assist toddlers in their daily walking development, typically in flat environments such as homes, parks, or daycare centers, to support their initial learning to stand and walk. These shoes are designed with non-slip soles, soft uppers, and moderate support to provide stability and balance, reducing the risk of slipping. During use, parents or caregivers put the shoes on the baby, ensuring the laces or Velcro are secured. The shoes help maintain a natural foot posture while walking, promoting healthy gait development. The lightweight materials and flexible design allow for free movement while protecting the feet from injury, making them an important assistive tool during the toddler learning stage.

[0003] However, existing infant shoes often lack sufficient support around the ankle, resulting in a loose fit that can easily shift or move during walking. This deficiency can affect an infant's walking stability, increasing the risk of tripping or slipping, while also causing discomfort and reducing their confidence and comfort. Furthermore, poor support may prevent the shoes from providing adequate support, hindering the learning process of walking. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an infant shoe that improves the ankle support of the infant shoe to enhance walking stability and comfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a children's shoe with a strong sense of wrapping, comprising a sole and an upper fixed to the sole, wherein the upper is provided with a tongue, and the upper includes an upper surface that does not contact the user's foot and an inner lining that contacts the user's foot. The upper surface and the tongue cooperate to form an opening for the foot to enter, and the opening is provided with wrapping parts corresponding to the user's two ankle positions. The wrapping parts wrap around the user's ankles after the user wears the shoe.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a wrapping section, the fit of the shoe upper in the ankle area is effectively enhanced, reducing loosening or shifting during walking, thereby improving the infant's walking stability and comfort, reducing the risk of tripping, and supporting the infant's learning-to-walk process. The wrapping section is made of elastic material and is designed with a wraparound structure that adapts to the ankle curve. The material's inherent resilience provides uniform compression, ensuring the ankle area is securely fixed without causing pressure. As a preferred embodiment, the wrapping section integrates a memory foam filling layer. This layer deforms under pressure to conform to the ankle contour and returns to its original shape after release, thus dynamically adjusting the wrapping force and avoiding excessive restriction of the infant's foot movement. As another preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the wrapping section uses a mesh breathable fabric, with flexible support strips integrated internally. These support strips are distributed circumferentially around the ankle and adapt to different ankle sizes through bending and deformation while maintaining structural stability, ensuring the wrapping section maintains its original shape and function after repeated wear. This design not only improves the fit but also enhances the shoe's durability and adaptability, making it suitable for various infant and toddler foot shapes.

[0007] Furthermore, the opening is provided with a V-shaped groove corresponding to the user's heel position.

[0008] The V-shaped groove design makes it easier for infants' feet to slip into shoes, especially in high-top shoes, reducing resistance during wear and preventing gaps in the heel area. This ensures the shoe fully wraps around the foot, improving overall fit and comfort. The V-shaped groove allows for greater flexibility at the heel, making it easier for parents or caregivers to assist infants with putting on shoes, reducing shoe deformation or discomfort caused by forceful pulling. As a preferred option, the edges of the V-shaped groove are wrapped with flexible rubber or silicone. This wrap has an inward-curling characteristic, automatically unfolding to widen the opening when the foot is inserted and retracting back to its original shape after wearing, creating a seal to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering while maintaining the structural integrity of the shoe upper. Alternatively, the groove bottom integrates an elastic band connection system. This adjustable band, secured by hooks or buttons, allows for manual adjustment of the groove width according to the infant's heel size, achieving a personalized fit and ensuring optimal wrapping for infants with different foot shapes without relying on a fixed size.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the V-shaped groove between the two points at the very top of the opening is 24-34mm, and the included angle between the V-shaped groove from the apex at the very top of the opening to the bottom point of the V-shaped groove is 38-42 degrees.

[0010] This size range ensures the V-groove can accommodate infants' feet of different shoe sizes, providing consistent wearing convenience and a snug fit. It avoids insufficient fit or difficulty in wearing due to grooves that are too large or too small, enhancing the product's versatility and practicality. By optimizing the width and angle, the groove allows sufficient space for the heel to slide into the shoe while maintaining structural stability, reducing friction and discomfort. As a preferred design, the V-groove is made of a multi-layer composite material, including an outer abrasion-resistant layer and an inner slip-resistant layer. The slip-resistant layer has a low coefficient of friction, promoting smooth insertion upon foot contact, while the abrasion-resistant layer ensures the groove edges are resistant to wear, extending its lifespan.

[0011] Furthermore, the center of the wrapping part is provided with a protruding arc that protrudes outward toward the side surface, and the diameter of the protruding arc is 20-25mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the vertical height difference between the center point of the protruding arc and its edge point is 3-4 mm.

[0013] The raised arc design enhances the wrapping effect around the ankle, better conforming to the protruding areas of the ankle through its curved structure, improving the precision and comfort of the fit. It also accommodates different ankle sizes in infants and children, reducing uneven fit due to individual differences. The raised arc's protruding characteristic allows the shoe upper to form a natural curve at the ankle, avoiding pressure points caused by flat designs and promoting even pressure distribution. As a preferred feature, an adjustable air bladder is embedded within the raised arc. The air bladder inflates and deflates via a micro-valve, allowing users to manually adjust the protrusion according to the size of the infant's ankle, thus achieving a customized fit that ensures a close fit without sacrificing comfort.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an insole, wherein the vertical height between the center of the protruding arc and the insole is 43-53mm.

[0015] This height range ensures the support is correctly positioned around the infant's ankle, preventing ineffective or uncomfortable coverage due to excessive height or width, enhancing walking stability and support, while also accommodating ankle height differences across shoe sizes. By optimizing the vertical height, the shoe provides consistent ankle coverage, reducing uncertainty during the learning-to-walk process. As a preferred approach, the insole features a layered adjustable design, allowing users to fine-tune the height by replacing pads of different thicknesses to match the position of the convex curve, ensuring the support is always aligned with the ankle without requiring modifications to the shoe's upper structure.

[0016] Furthermore, a cushioning pad is filled between the upper and the lining, and the end of the cushioning pad facing the outsole is provided with an angle, which makes the end of the cushioning pad facing the outsole make way for the user's foot.

[0017] The angled design of the cushioning pad prevents the internal structure of the shoe from chafing the foot. The angled ends create space, reducing direct pressure on the foot and improving comfort. Simultaneously, the cushioning pad itself absorbs impact during walking, enhancing protection and stability. The angle allows the cushioning pad to gradually thin at the ends, avoiding sharp edges contacting the foot and reducing the risk of discomfort. As a preferred approach, the cushioning pad uses a gradient density foam material. Its lower density in the angled areas allows for easy compression to create clearance, while the higher density areas provide support. This structure automatically adapts to the shape of the foot through the material's properties, dynamically adjusting the cushioning effect during walking.

[0018] Furthermore, the angle of the end of the buffer pad facing the outsole direction is 25-35 degrees.

[0019] This angle range optimizes the clearance effect, ensuring a smooth transition at the end of the cushioning pad, reducing interference with the feet while maintaining cushioning performance, enhancing comfort and safety, and making it suitable for various infant and toddler foot shapes and usage scenarios. The angle design balances space creation and structural integrity, avoiding insufficient support due to excessive tilting.

[0020] Furthermore, the outsole is set gradually upwards from its middle towards the heel and wraps around the upper located there.

[0021] The stepped-up design of the outsole enhances heel support and wrapping, providing extra stability through outsole stiffness, reducing swaying during walking, improving a baby's balance and confidence, and protecting the heel from external impacts. The stepped structure allows the outsole to extend to the upper, forming a unified wrap and increasing the overall structural strength of the shoe. As a preferred approach, the stepped section of the outsole incorporates rib reinforcements distributed along the heel curve, increasing rigidity to enhance the wrapping effect while maintaining flexibility and avoiding restricting foot movement.

[0022] Furthermore, the outsole is gradually raised from its middle towards the heel and converges at the heel, with a height difference of 19-29mm between the converging point of the gradually raised outsole and the insole.

[0023] This height difference range ensures that the rising section of the outsole properly wraps around the heel, providing sufficient support height to accommodate different shoe sizes, enhancing stability and protection, and avoiding insufficient or excessive support due to improper height. By optimizing the height difference, the shoe can maintain consistent performance across different sizes. As a preferred approach, the outsole junction employs a modular plug-in design, where modules of different heights can be removed and replaced in the height difference area, allowing for quick adjustments to accommodate infants and toddlers' growth without needing to replace the entire shoe, thus extending the product's lifespan.

[0026] Figure 3 This is a rear view of an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a type of infant shoe with a strong wrapping feel, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown: The shoe includes a sole 1 and an upper 2 fixed to the sole 1. The upper 2 has a tongue 3. The upper 2 includes an outer surface 21 that does not contact the user's foot and an inner lining 22 that contacts the user's foot. The outer surface 21 and the tongue 3 cooperate to form an opening 23 for the foot to enter.

[0028] The opening 23 has a wrap-around part 231 corresponding to the user's ankles on both sides. The wrap-around part 231 wraps around the user's ankles after wearing the shoe to provide a snug fit. The opening 23 has a V-shaped slot 232 corresponding to the user's heel. Because the wrap-around part 231 makes the shoe upper 2 higher, the V-shaped slot 232 makes it easier for infants and children to wear the shoe and prevents too much of the heel from being exposed. The width of the V-shaped slot 232 between the two apex points of the opening 23 is 24-34mm, and the angle between the apex point of the opening 23 and the bottom point of the V-shaped slot 232 is 38-42 degrees. These dimensions accommodate different shoe sizes.

[0029] The center of the wrapping part 231 has a protruding arc 2311 that protrudes outward toward the upper 21. The diameter of the protruding arc 2311 can be adjusted according to the shoe size. It also includes an insole (not shown in the figure). The vertical height between the center of the protruding arc 2311 and the insole (not shown in the figure) is 43-53mm, which is adapted to the ankle height of infants and children under different shoe sizes, ensuring that the wrapping part 231 wraps around the infant's ankle.

[0030] A cushioning pad (not shown in the figure) is filled between the upper 21 and the inner lining 22. The end of the cushioning pad (not shown in the figure) facing the outsole 1 is angled, which creates a gap between the end of the cushioning pad (not shown in the figure) facing the outsole 1 and the user's foot to prevent foot chafing. The angle of the end of the cushioning pad (not shown in the figure) facing the outsole 1 is 25-35 degrees.

[0031] The outsole 1 gradually rises from its middle towards the heel, wrapping around the upper 21 located there. Utilizing the greater rigidity of the outsole 1 compared to the upper 21, it effectively wraps around the infant's heel, improving walking stability. The outsole 1 gradually rises from its middle towards the heel, converging at the heel. The height difference between the converging point of the gradually rising outsole 1 and the insole 4 is 19-29mm, accommodating different shoe sizes.

[0032] When infants wear these shoes, their feet enter through opening 23. The V-shaped groove 232 facilitates smooth entry of the heel, reducing wearing resistance. At the same time, the wrapping part 231 tightly wraps around the ankle, enhancing stability and comfort. The angle of the cushioning pad (not shown in the figure) creates space between the end and the foot, avoiding pressure and discomfort. The gradually raised setting of the outsole 1 provides additional support, improving stability and safety during walking.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely one preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
