Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0027] Referring to Figs. 1-2 An embodiment of the present application provides a shoe, which comprises a sole 100, a front upper 200 and a back upper 300. The sole 100, the front upper 200 and the back upper 300 surround a space for accommodating a foot. For the purpose of illustration, in the present application, the side facing the foot space is the inner side, and the side facing away from the foot space is the outer side.
[0028] In an embodiment, the back upper 300 comprises a strap 310 and a protective pad 320. The strap 310 is curved in a substantially U-shaped structure to fit the shape of the foot. The two ends of the strap 310 are connected to the front upper 200. The protective pad 320 is arranged on the curved portion of the U-shaped structure and is located on the inner side of the strap 310. For the purpose of facilitating adaptive adjustment of the use position of the protective pad 320 by different users, the protective pad 320 can move transversely relative to the strap 310.
[0029] When the user wears the shoe and walks normally, the protective pad 320 is in contact with the foot (generally at the ankle position, but can be at another position according to different designs) and does not move transversely relative to the strap 310. When the user has a sore foot, the user can manually move the protective pad 320 to the position of the sore foot. At this time, further walking will not deepen the pain. Similarly, the protective pad 320 is also in contact with the ankle at this position and does not move transversely relative to the strap 310 during walking.
[0030] In an embodiment, the protective pad 320 comprises a body 330 for contact with the ankle and a connector 340 for slidingly engaging with the strap 310.
[0031] As to the way the connector 340 slidingly engages with the strap 310, please refer to Figs. 1-2 The connector 340 is in the form of a sleeve, which is sleeved on the strap 310. In the natural state, the connector 340 and the strap 310 will not slide relative to each other by the friction therebetween, and can be moved in position with the aid of external force.
[0032] In order to better fit the human body and reduce the pressure on the ankle, so that the wearer walks more comfortably, the body 330 comprises an elastic layer 332. The elastic layer 332 can adaptively deform with the movement of the foot, giving the ankle a certain activity space and relieving foot fatigue.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 2 The body 330 comprises an inner layer 331 and an outer layer 333, and the outer layer 333 and the inner layer 331 wrap the elastic layer 332, and the outer layer 333 is connected to the connector 340. The P position in the figure is the position for the strap 310 to pass through. Since the ankle is in contact with the inner layer 331, it is preferred that the inner layer 331 is softer in material.
[0034] In an embodiment, the body 330 is wider than the strap 310, which means that the area of the body 330 in contact with the ankle in the height direction is larger, making it softer and more comfortable.
[0035] In an embodiment, the width of the body 330 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. The skeletal and muscular structure of the ankle part presents the characteristics of being thick in the middle and thin at both ends. The body 330 adopts the design of being wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, which can more closely fit the natural curve of the ankle, improve the adaptability to the ankle, and thus provide a more comfortable wrapping feeling when worn, and reduce the discomfort and friction caused by poor fit.
[0036] Of course, in order to cater to different foot shapes of users and facilitate adjustment of the length of the strap 310, the strap 310 is in a two-segment structure, which comprises a first segment 311 and a second segment 312 connected by a buckle. The length of the first segment 311 is greater than that of the second segment 312, and the second segment 312 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes. The buckle cooperates with different positioning holes to adjust the length of the strap 310 to adapt to individual differences of different users.
[0037] In the present embodiment, the strap 310 is inclined upward from front to back, so as to cooperate with the position of the ankle.
[0038] Please refer to Fig. 1The front part 200 comprises two side pieces 210 and one top piece 220. The side pieces 210 each comprise a lower edge 211, an upper edge 212 and a side edge 213. The lower edge 211 is connected to the sole 100, the upper edge 212 is connected to the top piece 220, and the side edge 213 is connected to the strap 310. The three edges form a shoe cavity for the foot to extend into. In the illustrated embodiment, the side edge 213 extends to the heel, which can provide more comprehensive coverage of the foot, help to fix the position of the foot, prevent the foot from excessive shaking in the shoe cavity during walking or exercise, and improve the stability and comfort of wearing. From the appearance, the side edge 213 extending to the heel can make the overall line of the shoe more smooth and complete, enhance the beauty and fashion of the shoe, and meet the aesthetic needs of the user.
[0039] In the shoe, the protective pad is arranged to be transversely movable relative to the strap. The user can freely adjust the protective pad to a suitable position according to the shape of the foot, which is more flexible, convenient and applicable.
[0040] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present disclosure. When the technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same figure, it is considered that the figure also discloses the combination of the embodiments involved.
[0041] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application.
