Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear, specifically to a shoe collar and a shoe. Background Technology

[0002] The shoe collar is the part of the shoe upper that wraps around the ankle, and its design directly affects the comfort, support, and functionality of the footwear. Traditional shoe collars often use a single material and a fixed structure; the shape of the collar is fixed after production. For better support, stiff materials are often used, while soft materials are typically used for better comfort. Once the material is determined, the shape and material of the shoe collar are fixed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a shoe collar and a shoe that facilitates the provision of a material basis for changing the shape of the shoe collar.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0005] The first technical solution relates to a shoe collar, which includes a collar body and a pull tab. The collar body wraps around the heel, and the pull tab is located above the heel of the collar body. A weak part is provided at the connection between the pull tab and the collar body, and the wall thickness of the weak part is less than the wall thickness of the collar body and the pull tab.

[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein it includes a soft material and a hard material, the soft material wrapping the hard material, and the lug and the weak part being made of soft material.

[0007] The third technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the material below the weak part is a hard material.

[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the hard material is located at the axis of symmetry of the heel, and the soft material extends out of the heel and wraps around the ankle.

[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the rigid material is provided with a U-shaped groove, and the U-shaped groove is located below the lifting lug.

[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the weak part is marked.

[0011] The seventh technical solution is based on the sixth technical solution, wherein the lifting ear and the weak part are single-layered.

[0012] The eighth technical solution is based on the sixth technical solution, wherein the lifting ear and the weak part are multiple layers that are bonded together.

[0013] The ninth technical solution designs a shoe, which includes a shoe body and a shoe collar as described in any one of the first to eighth technical solutions.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the above solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the first technical solution, a weak part is provided at the connection between the pull tab and the collar body. The wall thickness of the weak part is less than the wall thickness of the collar body and the pull tab. Since the wall thickness of the weak part is less than the wall thickness of the collar body and the pull tab, the pull tab is suitable for folding along the weak part as a fold line to form a double-layer effect in the part of the shoe collar. This helps to change the shape of the shoe collar, so that the heel is double-wrapped at the pull tab of the shoe collar. This structure increases the sense of layering and wrapping of the shoe collar, which helps to provide a higher ability to protect the heel.

[0016] In the first technical solution, since the wall thickness of the weak part is less than the wall thickness of the collar body and the pull tab, it is suitable to use the weak part as the cutting line to cut off the pull tab. In a specific environment, it is beneficial to reduce the feeling of constriction at the shoe collar or change the shape of the shoe collar by cutting off the pull tab.

[0017] In the second technical solution, a soft material wraps around a hard material, and the pull tabs are made of a soft material. The shoe collar has a certain degree of support due to the use of a hard material, while the soft material wrapped around the hard material helps to provide comfort and prevents the hard material from chafing the heels. Furthermore, using soft material for the pull tabs and weak points makes it easier to cut and change the shape of the shoe collar.

[0018] In the third technical solution, the area below the weak point is made of rigid material, which can provide support for the shoe collar and help prevent the shoe collar from collapsing.

[0019] In the third technical solution, the area below the weak part is made of rigid material. When the pull tab is folded along the weak part, the rigid material area helps to make the folding of the weak part more stable, helps to avoid the rebound after folding, and is more conducive to changing the shape of the shoe collar.

[0020] In the fourth technical solution, the rigid material is located at the axis of symmetry of the heel. The rigid material is located at the heel to support the shoe collar. Being located at the axis of symmetry makes it easier to achieve the effect of supporting the shoe collar with less rigid material.

[0021] In the fifth technical solution, the U-shaped groove is located below the pull tab. This is mainly based on a comprehensive consideration of ergonomics, comfort, and functionality. The U-shaped indentation helps to reduce the direct pressure and friction of the shoe collar on the Achilles tendon, preventing redness and blisters. In this case, the design of the U-shaped groove is conducive to better adapting to different heel shapes and user needs, and is more conducive to changing the shape of the shoe collar.

[0022] In the sixth technical solution, the weak points are marked, which helps to remind users of the folding position and the cutting position.

[0023] In the seventh technical solution, the shoe pull tabs and weak points are single-layered, which helps to avoid exposing the hard material after cutting.

[0024] In the eighth technical solution, the shoe pull tab and the weak part are multiple layers that are bonded together, which helps to avoid the exposure of hard materials after cutting. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Figure 1 The structure of shoe 1 in this embodiment is shown, as follows: Figure 1 The shoe 1 shown includes a shoe body 2 and a shoe collar 3. The shoe collar 3 is fixedly connected to the shoe body 2. The shoe collar 3 includes a collar body 4 and a pull tab 5, and the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5 are fixedly connected. Figure 1 As shown, the collar body 4 covers the opening of the shoe 1. When the shoe 1 is worn, the collar body 4 is adapted to cover the heel, and the pull tab 5 is located above the heel of the collar body 4. Figure 2 The shoe collar 3 in this embodiment is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a weak part 6 is provided at the position where the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5 are fixed together at the shoe collar 3, and a mark 7 is provided at the weak part 6 at the shoe collar 3. In this embodiment, the weak part 6 surrounds the fixed position of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5. In other embodiments, the weak part 6 may only surround half a circle of the fixed position of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5. Figure 3 The material distribution of the shoe collar 3 in this embodiment is shown, such as... Figure 3As shown, the shoe collar 3 includes a soft material 8 and a hard material 9. The soft material 8 has a larger surface area than the hard material 9, and the soft material 8 covers the hard material 9. When the shoe 1 is worn, the hard material 9 is located at the axis of symmetry of the heel, and the soft material 8 extends out from the heel and wraps around the ankle. The hard material 9 has a U-shaped groove 10, which is located below the pull tab 5. In this embodiment, the soft material 8 completely covers the hard material 9. Figure 3 As shown, the lug 5 and the weak part 6 are made of soft material 8. Figure 4 The material of the shoe collar 3 in this embodiment is shown, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the soft material 8 wraps around the hard material 9 and they are bonded together. At the lug 5, the soft material 8 has two layers that are bonded together. At the weak part 6 and below the weak part 6, the soft material 8 still wraps around the hard material 9 and the soft materials 8 are bonded together.

[0043] Figure 5 This embodiment shows the shoe 1 after the handle 5 is folded up, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, if the user needs increased protection for the heel, the user can fold the pull tab 5 along the weak part 6 to the outside of the shoe 1, forming a double-layer effect in the part of the shoe collar 3. At this time, the shoe collar 3 and the pull tab 5 can provide double-layer wrapping for the heel, and due to the presence of the weak part 6, the pull tab 5 will be easier to fold. Since the rigid material 9 is located below the pull tab 5, when the pull tab 5 is folded along the weak part 6, the rigid material 9 makes the folding of the weak part 6 more stable, which can prevent the rebound after folding. When the user is wearing the shoe 1, it can also provide a material basis for keeping the pull tab 5 from returning to its original position after folding.

[0044] Figure 6 This embodiment shows the shoe 1 with the handle 5 cut off, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, if the user needs to reduce the feeling of constriction at the collar 3, the user can use scissors to cut off the pull tab 5 along the weak part 6. Since the wall thickness of the weak part 6 is less than the wall thickness of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5, the user can cut off the pull tab 5 more easily.

[0045] In this embodiment, a weak part 6 is provided at the connection between the pull tab 5 and the collar body 4. The wall thickness of the weak part 6 is less than the wall thickness of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5. Since the wall thickness of the weak part 6 is less than the wall thickness of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5, the pull tab 5 is suitable for folding along the weak part 6 to form a partial double-layer effect of the shoe collar 3. This helps to change the shape of the shoe collar 3, so that the heel is double-wrapped at the pull tab 5 of the shoe collar 3. This structure increases the sense of layering and wrapping of the shoe collar 3, which helps to provide a higher ability to protect the heel.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the wall thickness of the weak part 6 is less than that of the collar body 4 and the pull tab 5, it is suitable to use the weak part 6 as the cutting line to cut off the pull tab 5. Under certain circumstances, it is beneficial to reduce the feeling of constriction of the shoe collar 3 or change the shape of the shoe collar 3 by cutting off the pull tab 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, soft material 8 wraps around hard material 9, and the pull tab 5 is made of soft material 8. The shoe collar 3 has a certain degree of support due to the use of hard material 9, while the soft material 8 wrapped around the hard material 9 helps to provide comfort and prevent the hard material 9 from chafing the heel. Furthermore, the pull tab 5 and the weak part 6 are made of soft material 8, which makes them easier to cut and more conducive to changing the shape of the shoe collar 3.

[0048] In this embodiment, the area below the weak part 6 is a rigid material 9, which can provide support for the shoe collar 3 and help prevent the shoe collar 3 from collapsing.

[0049] In this embodiment, the area below the weak part 6 is made of rigid material 9. When the pull tab 5 is folded along the weak part 6, the rigid material 9 helps to make the folding of the weak part 6 more stable, helps to avoid the rebound after folding, and is more conducive to changing the shape of the shoe collar 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, the rigid material 9 is located at the axis of symmetry of the heel. The rigid material 9 is located at the heel to support the shoe collar 3. Being located at the axis of symmetry makes it easier to achieve the effect of supporting the shoe collar 3 with less rigid material 9.

[0051] In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove 10 is located below the pull tab 5. This is mainly based on a comprehensive consideration of ergonomics, comfort, and functionality. The U-shaped recess helps to reduce the direct pressure and friction of the shoe collar 3 on the Achilles tendon, preventing redness and blisters. The design of the U-shaped groove 10 in this case is conducive to better adapting to different heel shapes and user needs, and is more conducive to changing the shape of the shoe collar 3.

[0052] In this embodiment, the weak part 6 is marked with a label 7, which helps to remind the user of the folding position and the cutting position.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shoe 1's pull tab 5 and the weak part 6 are multiple layers that are bonded together, which helps to avoid exposing the hard material 9 after cutting.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Figure 7 The material of the shoe collar 3 in this embodiment is shown, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the lug 5 and the weak part 6 in this embodiment are made of a single layer of soft material 8. In this embodiment, the soft material 8 below the weak part 6 of the shoe collar 3 is double-layered and bonded together, and the soft material 8 in this embodiment wraps around the hard material 9.

[0056] In this embodiment, the shoe 1's lug 5 and the weak part 6 are single-layered, which helps to avoid exposing the hard material 9 after cutting.

[0057] The description of the above specification and embodiments is used to explain the scope of protection of this application, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.
