[0014] The tenth technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the vent hole is made using a laser punching process.
[0015] As can be seen from the above description of the various embodiments of the present utility model, compared with the prior art, the various embodiments of the present utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the first technical solution and related embodiments, by using a design of two pieces of fabric sandwiching a pressure-absorbing pad in the sole of the sock, combined with ergonomic principles, good shock absorption is provided for the wearer's feet. This not only effectively disperses and reduces the impact on the feet during activities such as walking, running, and jumping, but also reduces the risk of foot fatigue and injury. The petal-shaped design of the first pressure-absorbing pad is inspired by the structure of the paw pads on a cat's feet. This shape perfectly conforms to the natural shape of the plantar bulb, providing a larger contact area, thereby more evenly distributing and reducing the pressure on this area during walking or exercise. The plantar bulb, as an important support point of the foot, is responsible for bearing weight and transmitting force. During prolonged standing, walking, or high-intensity activities, the plantar bulb is subjected to a large amount of pressure and impact. The petal-shaped design of the first pressure-absorbing pad, combined with ergonomic principles, simulates the structure of the paw pads on a cat's feet, dispersing the impact force to a wider area, reducing foot fatigue, and lowering the risk of injury. The oval shape of the second pressure-absorbing pad conforms to the contour of the heel, ensuring full coverage and support of the heel during walking or exercise. The Achilles tendon, a vital tendon connecting the calf and heel, is crucial for maintaining foot stability and flexibility. During high-intensity activities such as jumping and running, the Achilles tendon experiences tremendous impact. The oval design of the second pressure-relieving pad not only fully covers the heel but also provides necessary cushioning and protection for the Achilles tendon, effectively reducing the impact force and lowering the risk of injury due to excessive impact.
[0017] In the second technical solution and related embodiments, the several vertically penetrating ventilation holes evenly distributed on the pressure-relieving pad effectively improve breathability when worn.
[0018] In the third technical solution and related embodiments, the pressure-relieving pad is bonded to the fabric away from the foot through a seamless bonding process, ensuring a tight connection between the pressure-relieving pad and the sock sole, avoiding discomfort that may result from loosening or misalignment, and enhancing the overall stability and durability of the boat sock.
[0019] In the fourth technical solution and related embodiments, both sponge material and latex material have good shock absorption and cushioning performance. Pressure-relieving pads made of these two materials can provide good protection and support for the wearer's feet and reduce the impact force when walking and running.
[0020] In the fifth technical solution and related embodiments, cotton fabric is selected as the two fabrics for the sole of the sock, which can ensure the moisture absorption and breathability of the boat sock, so that the wearer's feet can stay dry and comfortable.
[0021] In the sixth technical solution and related embodiments, the body of the boat sock is made of breathable and highly elastic fabric, which makes the boat sock maintain breathability while also having good elasticity and comfort, suitable for wearers with different foot shapes.
[0022] In the seventh technical solution and related embodiments, the sock body is made of breathable four-way stretch fabric, which allows the boat socks to maintain breathability while also having all-round elasticity and stretchability, so as to better fit the wearer's foot shape and provide a more comfortable wearing experience.
[0023] In the eighth technical solution and related embodiments, the edge-cutting and sewing connection ensures a firm and reliable connection between the sock body fabric and the sock sole, preventing damage or tearing caused by friction, stretching, and other factors during use, thus enhancing the strength and durability of the boat socks. At the same time, the edge-cutting and sewing connection makes the connection between the sock body fabric and the sock sole smoother, reducing friction and discomfort.
[0024] In the ninth technical solution and related embodiments, an anti-slip silicone strip is added to the inside of the sock opening. The anti-slip silicone strip can increase the friction between the sock opening and the leg, prevent the sock from slipping down, and improve the stability and safety of wearing.
[0025] In the tenth technical solution and related embodiments, laser punching technology enables high-precision processing, achieving micro-aperture hole machining. This high-precision processing ensures that the size and distribution of the vents are uniform, meeting the breathability requirements of the pressure-relieving pad. While enhancing breathability, laser punching technology does not compromise the integrity and protective properties of the pressure-relieving pad. This allows the pressure-relieving pad to maintain comfort while still providing good protection. Attached Figure Description

[0036] See Figures 1 to 2 ,like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a type of boat sock includes a sole 1 and a body 2.
[0037] Sole 1, such as Figure 1As shown, the sole 1 of the sock features a design with two pieces of fabric sandwiching a pressure-relieving pad on the inner side, corresponding to the foot. Both pieces of fabric for the sole 1 are made of soft and comfortable cotton. Cotton fabric has excellent moisture absorption and breathability, keeping the feet dry and comfortable. Since the sole 1 fabric is in direct contact with the foot, its soft and comfortable material provides a good wearing experience, while the moisture absorption and breathability of cotton also help keep the feet dry.
[0038] The pressure-absorbing pad includes a first pressure-absorbing pad 3 and a second pressure-absorbing pad 4. The first pressure-absorbing pad 3 is located on the plantar ball of the foot and is designed in a plum blossom petal shape. The second pressure-absorbing pad 4 is located at the Achilles tendon and is designed in an oval shape. The pressure-absorbing pad is made of sponge or latex material. Both sponge and latex materials have good shock absorption and cushioning properties. Pressure-absorbing pads made of these two materials can provide good protection and support for the wearer's feet, reducing the impact force during walking, running, and jumping. In this embodiment, the pressure-absorbing pad uses a thin sponge sheet.
[0039] The pressure-relieving pad has several vertically connected ventilation holes 5 evenly distributed throughout. These ventilation holes 5 are manufactured using a laser punching process. Laser punching enables high-precision machining, achieving micro-aperture holes. This high-precision machining ensures that the size and distribution of the ventilation holes 5 are uniform, meeting the pressure-relieving pad's breathability requirements. While enhancing breathability, the laser punching process does not compromise the pad's integrity and protective properties. This allows the pressure-relieving pad to maintain comfort while still providing good protection.
[0040] The two pieces of fabric, the compression pad and the sole 1, are seamlessly bonded together, ensuring a tight connection between them and preventing discomfort that may result from loosening or misalignment. This enhances the overall stability and durability of the boat socks. Specifically, the bonding process employs a seamless heat-sealing technique.
[0041] Sock body 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, it uses a single piece of breathable, highly elastic fabric, allowing the boat socks to maintain breathability while also providing good elasticity and comfort, suitable for wearers with different foot shapes. Specifically, the sock body 2 uses breathable four-way stretch fabric. This breathable four-way stretch fabric allows the boat socks to maintain breathability while also providing all-around elasticity and stretch, better conforming to the wearer's foot shape and providing a more comfortable wearing experience.
[0042] The upper fabric (2) and the sole fabric (1) are joined by a beveled edge stitching. Specifically, a thin sponge sheet is first bonded between the two sole fabric pieces to form a sole fabric assembly. Then, the upper fabric (2) and the sole fabric assembly are joined by a beveled edge stitching. This beveled edge stitching ensures a strong and reliable connection between the upper fabric (2) and the sole fabric (1), preventing damage or tearing caused by friction and stretching during use, thus enhancing the sock's durability and strength. At the same time, the beveled edge stitching makes the connection between the upper fabric (2) and the sole fabric (1) smoother, reducing friction and discomfort.
[0043] The sock body 2 has a sock opening 7, and an anti-slip silicone strip 8 is sewn onto the inside of the sock opening 7. The anti-slip silicone strip 8 increases the friction between the sock opening 7 and the leg, preventing the sock from slipping down and improving the stability and safety of wearing it.
[0044] In this embodiment, by using a design of two pieces of fabric sandwiching a pressure-absorbing pad in the sole 1 of the sock, combined with ergonomic principles, it provides excellent shock absorption for the wearer's feet. This not only effectively disperses and reduces the impact on the feet during activities such as walking, running, and jumping, but also reduces the risk of foot fatigue and injury. The petal-shaped design of the first pressure-absorbing pad 3 is inspired by the structure of a cat's paw pads. This shape perfectly conforms to the natural shape of the plantar bulb, providing a larger contact area, thereby more evenly distributing and reducing the pressure on this area during walking or exercise. The plantar bulb, as an important support point of the foot, is responsible for bearing weight and transmitting force. During prolonged standing, walking, or high-intensity activities, the plantar bulb is subjected to a large amount of pressure and impact. The petal-shaped design of the first pressure-absorbing pad 3, combined with ergonomic principles, simulates the structure of a cat's paw pads, distributing the impact force to a wider area, reducing foot fatigue, and lowering the risk of injury. The oval shape of the second pressure-absorbing pad 4 conforms to the contour of the heel, ensuring full coverage and support of the heel during walking or exercise. The Achilles tendon, a vital tendon connecting the calf and heel, is crucial for maintaining foot stability and flexibility. During high-intensity activities such as jumping and running, the Achilles tendon experiences tremendous impact. The oval design of the second cushioning pad 4 not only fully covers the heel but also provides necessary cushioning and protection for the Achilles tendon, effectively reducing the impact force and lowering the risk of injury due to excessive impact.
[0045] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
