[0001] This application relates to the field of hiking shoe technology, and in particular to a hiking shoe suitable for complex terrain. Background Technology
[0002] Hiking shoes, as an essential piece of outdoor equipment, are widely used in firefighting, military, police, and industrial fields, providing foot protection and comfort for personnel. In these fields, personnel often face complex terrains such as mountains and forests, as well as harsh environments like rainy days and snowy conditions. The performance of hiking shoes directly impacts the safety and efficiency of mission execution. Therefore, developing hiking shoes capable of adapting to extreme environments and complex mission requirements has become a crucial development direction for the industry.
[0003] Currently, to cope with complex terrain and harsh environments, the industry mainly adopts the following conventional methods: First, by increasing the thickness of the upper or using a waterproof coating, the waterproof performance of the shoes is improved; second, by using harder sole materials or adding steel plates, the puncture resistance is enhanced. However, these methods are mostly independently designed and have single functions, making it difficult to fully meet the comprehensive needs of fire fighting, military and police, and industrial sectors for hiking shoes.
[0004] Existing hiking shoes generally suffer from the following defects: in complex terrain, the anti-slip, cushioning and puncture resistance of the sole cannot be simultaneously guaranteed, resulting in insufficient safety; the waterproof and breathable properties and durability of the upper material are difficult to balance, and the wearing comfort is easily affected by the damp environment.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0034] This application discloses a hiking shoe suitable for complex terrain.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hiking shoe suitable for complex terrain includes a high-elastic sole 1 and a shoe upper 2. The high-elastic sole 1 has an ultra-lightweight, puncture-resistant soft sole inside, and the shoe upper 2 has a waterproof and breathable lining. The high-elastic sole 1 also has a durable insole 3. Through the combination of these structures, the safety and comfort of the hiking shoe are comprehensively improved in complex terrain.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The high-elastic sole 1 is made of a combination of a high-composite EVA midsole and a rubber outsole, and includes an ultra-lightweight puncture-resistant soft sole. The high-composite EVA offers excellent elasticity and impact resistance, while the rubber provides good grip, abrasion resistance, and slip resistance. The ultra-lightweight puncture-resistant soft sole is nestled within the high-elastic sole 1, and its material can be industrial high-strength polyester or other composite materials with similar properties. For example, industrial high-strength polyester can be used through a dense weave structure or composite layer design to ensure puncture resistance without adding weight to the sole. From top to bottom, the high-elastic sole 1 consists of a durable insole 3, an ultra-lightweight puncture-resistant soft sole, a high-composite EVA midsole, and a rubber outsole. The durable insole 3 is made of environmentally friendly high-polymer Hypoli, a material with excellent cushioning and durability. The surface of the Hypoli insole undergoes special treatment to effectively reduce friction between the foot and the insole, improving wearing comfort. Furthermore, a memory foam layer can be embedded inside the insole to better conform to the foot shape, distribute pressure, and reduce fatigue from prolonged walking.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper 2 is constructed from a foam material and ripstop mesh. The foam material offers excellent flexibility and resilience, adapting to various foot shapes while providing ample support. The ripstop mesh enhances the durability of the upper 2, preventing damage from scratches or abrasions in challenging terrain. For example, multiple layers of composite materials can be added to key areas of the upper 2 (such as the toe and heel) to further improve tear resistance.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shoe body 2 features breathable surfaces 4 on the toe and sides. These breathable surfaces 4 can be made into a microporous structure using laser cutting technology, ensuring airflow while preventing impurities such as sand and dust from entering the shoe. The breathable surface 4 can be made of breathable membrane or breathable mesh fabric, both of which have excellent waterproof and breathable properties, keeping the inside of the shoe dry in humid environments. For example, the breathable membrane can be combined with ripstop mesh fabric to form a composite layer that combines breathability and protection.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heel of the shoe body 2 has multiple ventilation holes 5. These ventilation holes 5 not only help to expel air from inside the shoe, but also reduce the weight of the shoe body 2 to some extent. The shape and arrangement of the ventilation holes 5 can be optimized according to actual needs, such as using different shapes of holes such as circles, ovals, or polygons to form a uniformly distributed ventilation network. To enhance the durability of the ventilation holes 5, hot melt adhesive can be added to reinforce the edges of the holes to prevent cracking due to long-term use.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The waterproof and breathable lining features a GORE-TEX sock-like inner layer. This layer uses an ePTFE membrane as the middle layer, combined with multiple layers of chemical stabilizers. It is corrosion-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, and adaptable to complex environments (such as snow melting agents and muddy conditions). This material has excellent waterproof and breathable properties, effectively preventing external moisture from penetrating while allowing moisture to escape from the shoe, keeping feet dry. The thickness and structure of the GORE-TEX sock-like inner layer can be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, by adding thicker layers at the toe and heel to improve protection.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heel of the shoe is equipped with a pull strap 6 for easy on and off. The pull strap 6 can be made of high-strength nylon or polyester fiber material, which has good wear resistance and tensile strength. The shape of the pull strap 6 can be designed as flat or cylindrical, and the surface can be added with anti-slip texture for easy gripping by the user.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The high-elastic sole 1 has lugs 7 and sole pattern 8 on the bottom to increase the friction and terrain grip of the hiking shoe.
[0043] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: By combining a high-elastic sole 1 with an ultra-lightweight puncture-resistant soft sole, the sole achieves comprehensive optimization in terms of anti-slip, cushioning, and puncture resistance. The combination of foamed materials and ripstop mesh enhances the durability and comfort of the shoe body 2. The synergistic effect of the breathable surface 4, breathable holes 5, and waterproof and breathable lining solves the problem of balancing waterproof breathability and durability in the upper material. These designs not only improve the overall performance of hiking shoes in complex terrain but also significantly enhance the wearing experience, providing reliable foot protection for firefighters, military and police personnel, and industrial workers. The addition of a pull strap 6 at the heel further improves the convenience of hiking shoes, especially when wearing protective gear, enabling quick donning and doffing operations, saving time and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the pull strap 6 design also strengthens the overall structural strength of the shoe body 2, preventing damage to the heel due to frequent donning and doffing.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
