[0002] In an era that prioritizes efficiency and comfort, lightweight soles are redefining the walking experience with innovative technology. Abandoning the heaviness of traditional soles, they utilize ultra-lightweight polymer materials and precision foaming processes to significantly reduce sole weight while maintaining excellent support. This allows the feet to feel free, making every step feel light and effortless. This sole design cleverly integrates aerodynamics and ergonomics; its unique grooved texture and elastic structure not only enhance grip and ensure walking stability but also effectively distribute pressure, reducing fatigue from prolonged walking. Whether navigating the hustle and bustle of the city or taking a brisk outdoor adventure, lightweight soles provide just the right amount of cushioning and rebound, making every step powerful and free. Lightweight soles are a prime example of technology empowering life, transforming walking from mere movement into an enjoyment—a yearning and pursuit of a lighter lifestyle.

[0003] The prior art patent document CN218784270U provides a wear-resistant and lightweight shoe sole. This device is used to replace the traditional rubber outsole by forming an outsole assembly with a base fabric and wear-resistant components. Because the base fabric is lightweight, very fine and made of various types of fibers, and the wear-resistant components improve the wear resistance of the base fabric, it breaks through the limitations of conventional rubber outsoles and achieves a wear-resistant and lightweight outsole assembly, thereby achieving the overall shoe weight reduction.

[0004] In the pursuit of ultimate lightweight design, some lightweight shoe soles may excessively reduce the use of materials, resulting in decreased support. This can easily cause foot discomfort, especially during long walks or sports. The sole may also deform under complex terrain or high-intensity exercise, affecting stability. Therefore, we need lightweight shoe soles with a honeycomb support structure. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the support pad and the buffer pad form a fixed structure through the buffer groove, and the size of the buffer groove matches the size of the buffer pad, and the buffer pad is embedded in the interior of the buffer groove for fixation.

[0008] Preferably, the honeycomb grooves are formed on the buffer pad, and there are multiple honeycomb grooves, which are distributed in a honeycomb array.

[0009] Preferably, the support pad forms a fixed structure with the pressure-resistant pad and the buffer pad, and there are multiple pressure-resistant pads, which are symmetrically arranged at equal distances on both sides of the buffer pad.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer pad forms a fixed structure with the reinforcing pad through honeycomb grooves, and the reinforcing pad is in the shape of a cross.

[0011] Preferably, the outsole is integrated with the insole via a cushioning pad, and the cushioning pad is disposed between the outsole and the insole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the lightweight shoe sole with a honeycomb support structure,

[0013] (1) The anti-slip pattern on the bottom of the outsole can improve the anti-slip performance of the outsole during use. The support component is set between the outsole and the insole. The cushioning pad in the support pad is used to support the outsole and the insole, which can further improve the overall support stability of the outsole. At the same time, multiple honeycomb grooves are set in the cushioning pad, which can further reduce the overall weight of the outsole.

[0014] (2) By setting reinforcing pads in the honeycomb groove for support, the structural strength of the honeycomb groove can be effectively improved.

A cushioning pad 203 is disposed inside the cushioning groove 202. The support pad 201 and the cushioning pad 203 form a fixed structure through the cushioning groove 202 and the cushioning pad 203. The size of the cushioning groove 202 matches the size of the cushioning pad 203, and the cushioning pad 203 is embedded inside the cushioning groove 202 for fixation, thus strengthening the connection between the support pad 201 and the cushioning pad 203. The cushioning groove 202 provides support and cushioning, and reduces the overall weight of the sole. The outsole 1 and the insole 3 form an integrated structure through the cushioning pad 203, with the cushioning pad 203 disposed between the outsole 1 and the insole 3. The inclusion of a cushioning pad 203 further enhances the overall support and cushioning effect of the sole, improving its durability. The cushioning pad 203 has multiple honeycomb grooves 204 arranged in a honeycomb array. By incorporating these grooves within the cushioning pad 203, the honeycomb structure effectively disperses pressure under stress, providing cushioning. This honeycomb structure also enhances the sole's abrasion resistance. Inside the support pad 201, on both sides of the cushioning pad 203, are anti-pressure pads 206. These pads form a fixed structure with the cushioning pad 203, and there are multiple anti-pressure pads 206. The support pads 201 and 206 are symmetrically and evenly spaced on both sides of the cushioning pad 203, strengthening the connection between them. The multiple support pads 206 further enhance the overall support of the sole, meeting daily usage needs. A reinforcing pad 205 is installed inside the honeycomb groove 204. The cushioning pad 203 and the reinforcing pad 205 form a fixed structure, with the reinforcing pad 205 in a cross-shaped configuration. This reinforcement pad 205 further improves the stability of the honeycomb groove 204, enhancing the sole's support stability and durability. The anti-slip tread pattern 4 on the bottom of the outsole 1 further improves the sole's anti-slip performance during use. Meanwhile, a support component 2 is set between the outsole 1 and the insole 3 of the shoe sole, and the cushioning pad 203 within the support pad 201 provides support for the outsole 1 and the insole 3, which further improves the overall support stability of the shoe sole. Multiple honeycomb grooves 204 are set within the cushioning pad 203, which further reduces the overall weight of the shoe sole. Reinforcing pads 205 are set within the honeycomb grooves 204 for support, which effectively improves the structural strength of the honeycomb grooves 204. This allows the shoe sole to maintain its lightweight while providing a certain level of strength support. Furthermore, multiple anti-compression pads 206 are set between the support pad 201 and the cushioning pad 203, which further improves the stress support capacity of the shoe sole edges and enhances the uniformity of stress distribution on the shoe sole.

[0022] Working principle: During use, the anti-slip texture 4 on the bottom of the outsole 1 improves the anti-slip performance of the sole. A support component 2 is installed between the outsole 1 and the insole 3, and the cushioning pad 203 within the support pad 201 further supports the outsole 1 and insole 3, enhancing the overall stability of the sole. Multiple honeycomb grooves 204 within the cushioning pad 203 further reduce the overall weight of the sole, and reinforcing pads 205 within the honeycomb grooves 204 provide support, effectively improving the structural strength of the honeycomb grooves 204. This allows the sole to maintain its lightweight design while providing sufficient strength support. Furthermore, multiple anti-compression pads 206 between the support pad 201 and the cushioning pad 203 further enhance the stress support capacity of the sole edges, improving the uniformity of stress distribution.
