Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports shoe protection technology, and in particular to a sports shoe that can protect the ankle. Background Technology
[0002] Athletic shoes are shoes designed and manufactured specifically for people participating in sports or travel. Unlike ordinary leather or rubber shoes, the soles of athletic shoes are generally soft and elastic, providing cushioning. They enhance elasticity during exercise and some even help prevent ankle injuries. Therefore, athletic shoes are essential for most sports activities, especially high-intensity physical activities such as basketball, running, and various everyday exercises.
[0003] In pursuit of lightness and comfort, most existing athletic shoes are made with minimal materials, and often lack a high-top design to protect the ankle. This results in insufficient ankle support, making it easy for people to sprain their ankles when exercising in athletic shoes. Furthermore, the ankle protection offered by existing athletic shoes is generally poor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sports shoe that can protect the ankle.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An ankle-protecting athletic shoe includes a shoe body, the top of which is provided with a high-top structure, and the sides of the high-top structure are provided with ankle support structures, which are U-shaped and fit snugly against the heel of the shoe body.
[0007] The ankle support structure has a connecting strap on the other side, with a female buckle horizontally on the connecting strap. The high-top structure has a connecting pocket vertically, with a slot on the side of the connecting pocket and a connecting hole on the outside of the slot. The top of the shoe has a Velcro strap, with a male buckle inside the Velcro strap.
[0008] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the slot on the side of the connecting bag is compatible with the connecting belt on one side of the ankle support structure, and the connecting hole and the female buckle on the connecting belt are compatible with each other.
[0009] In addition, a preferred structure is that the heel of the shoe body is provided with a wrapped TPU pad, and the upper is provided with shoelaces.
[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, when the connecting belt is inserted into the slot on the side of the connecting bag, the connecting hole on the connecting bag corresponds to the female buckle.
[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the ankle support structure completely encloses the high-top structure when the connecting strap on one side of the ankle support structure is fully inserted into the slot opened on the side of the connecting bag.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, by setting an ankle support structure on the outer side of the high-top part of the shoe body, the ankle can be wrapped. Then, the connecting strap on one side of the ankle support structure is aligned with the slot opened on the side of the connecting bag and inserted. The male buckle on the inside of the Velcro is used to limit the connecting strap. The tightness of the ankle support structure can be adjusted by the female buckle on the side of the connecting strap, so that the ankle is better protected. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 An ankle-protecting athletic shoe includes a shoe body 1, the top of the shoe body 1 is provided with a high-top structure, and the side of the high-top structure is provided with an ankle support structure 3, the ankle support structure 3 is "U" shaped, and the ankle support structure 3 fits against the heel of the shoe body 1.
[0020] On the other side of the ankle support structure 3, there is a connecting strap 4, and a female buckle 41 is horizontally provided on the connecting strap 4. A connecting cloth bag 7 is vertically provided on the high-top structure. A slot 71 is provided on the side of the connecting cloth bag 7. A connecting hole 72 is provided on the outside of the slot 71. A Velcro 5 is provided on the top of the shoe body 1. A male buckle 51 is provided inside the Velcro 5.
[0021] The slot 71 on the side of the connecting belt 4 is compatible with the connecting belt 4 on the side of the ankle support structure 3, and the connecting hole 72 and the female buckle 41 on the connecting belt 4 are compatible with each other.
[0022] Meanwhile, the heel of the shoe body 1 is equipped with a wrapped TPU pad 2, and the upper is equipped with shoelaces 6.
[0023] Furthermore, when the connecting belt 4 is inserted into the slot 71 on the side of the connecting bag 7, the connecting hole 72 on the connecting bag 7 corresponds to the female buckle 41.
[0024] Furthermore, when the connecting strap 4 on one side of the ankle support structure 3 is fully inserted into the slot 71 opened on the side of the connecting cloth bag 7, the ankle support structure 3 completely wraps around the high-top structure.
[0025] In this embodiment, the ankle support structure 3 for ankle protection is first wrapped around the high-top structure at the top of the shoe body 1, and then the connecting cloth bag 7 is vertically installed on both sides of the high-top structure. Then, the TPU pad is placed at the heel of the shoe body 1.
[0026] Then, when wearing it, first insert the connecting strap 4 on one side of the ankle support structure 3 into the slot 71 on the side of the connecting bag 7. Then, depending on the wearer's desired depth of insertion into the slot 71, adjust the female buckle 41 on the connecting strap 4 along the slot 71 and move it to the top of the connecting hole 72. Then, attach the male buckle 51 inside the Velcro 5 to the connecting hole 72 at the top of the connecting bag 7. The male buckle 51 will pass through the connecting hole 72 and connect with the female buckle 41 on the side of the connecting strap 4, so that the ankle support structure 3 can wrap the high-top structure used to wrap the ankle, thus protecting the ankle.
[0027] In this invention, an ankle support structure 3 is first installed on the outer side of the high-top part of the shoe body 1 to wrap the ankle. The connecting strap 4 on one side of the ankle support structure 3 is inserted into the slot on the side of the connecting bag 7. The male buckle 51 on the inner side of the Velcro 5 is used to limit the connecting strap 4. The tightness of the ankle support structure 3 can be adjusted by the female buckle 41 on the side of the connecting strap 4, so that the ankle is well protected.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
