[0032] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0033] The following detailed description, through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the support sole with an arch bridge provided by this utility model.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This invention provides a support sole 10 with an arch bridge, applied to shoes, which can effectively support and cushion the arch, reduce arch pressure, and improve wearing comfort and gait stability. This shoe can be an athletic shoe, casual shoe, or hiking shoe, etc., and its specific structure includes an upper and a support sole 10 with an arch bridge. The upper is connected to the support sole 10 with the arch bridge.
[0035] The support sole 10 with an arch bridge includes an insole 100, an outsole 200, a sidewall 300, and an arch bridge 400. The outsole 200 contacts the ground, the insole 100 contacts the foot, and the sidewall 300 connects the insole 100 and the outsole 200. The arch bridge 400 is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). Due to TPU's excellent toughness and support, it can effectively cushion the impact of the arch during gait and stabilize the joint.
[0036] Based on the above, the insole 100 is recessed downwards to form a mounting groove corresponding to the arch of the foot. The arch bridge 400 mates with the mounting groove, and each of the four corners of the arch bridge 400 extends outwards to form extensions 410. It can be understood that while the arch bridge 400 conforms to the arch of the foot and provides stable support, the extensions 410 can release pressure along the extension direction, dispersing the impact force on the arch, further improving wearing comfort and foot stability.
[0037] Based on the above, the arch support sole 10 provided by this invention can provide good support and cushioning for the arch, thereby reducing abnormal bone structure alignment caused by a low arch. This arch support sole 10 is suitable for the feet of growing adolescents and the elderly with arch collapse due to degenerative changes. In particular, for users with collapsed arches or flat feet, it can improve the stress distribution on the foot, thereby reducing foot discomfort and potential injury.
[0038] To enhance the flexural capacity of the support sole 10 with an arch bridge, such as Figure 2 As shown, the arch bridge 400 forms a through hole 430 along the width direction of the supporting sole 10 with the arch bridge. Based on this, when the user walks, the sole can more closely conform to the natural curvature of the foot, thereby more effectively relieving foot pressure and reducing pain, fatigue, and gait abnormalities caused by arch collapse.
[0039] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The insole 100 has multiple energy-saving grooves 110 recessed at positions corresponding to the ball of the foot, and these grooves 110 are spaced apart along the length of the support sole 10 with an arch bridge. Based on the aforementioned energy-saving grooves 110, the support sole 10 with an arch bridge can deform with the bending of the toes, avoiding the difficulty of bending due to material accumulation, thus achieving the technical effect of effortless walking.
[0040] Please see Figure 2 The thickness of the sidewall 300 at the point corresponding to the ball of the foot is less than the thickness of the sidewall 300 at the point corresponding to the heel. Understandably, the thicker sidewall 300 at the heel area better absorbs impact and reduces the effect of ground reaction forces on the knee joint. The thinner sidewall 300 at the ball of the foot provides better flexibility and a more natural feel to movement.
[0041] Furthermore, to ensure compliance with ergonomic principles, support natural gait, and reduce unnecessary energy loss and impact, the thickness difference between the sidewall 300 at the position corresponding to the ball of the foot and the sidewall 300 at the position corresponding to the heel is between 10 and 14 mm.
[0042] For example, the thickness of the sidewall 300 corresponding to the ball of the foot is 55mm, and the thickness of the sidewall 300 corresponding to the heel is 67mm, with a drop of 12mm between the two. In this case, the thicker heel sidewall 300 can compress upon landing, converting impact energy into deformation energy, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the knee joint and improving comfort.
[0043] To further enhance the cushioning performance of the support sole 10 with an arch bridge, the sidewall 300 is provided with a first protrusion 310 and a second protrusion 330 spaced apart along the thickness direction of the support sole 10 with an arch bridge. It is understood that the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 330 form a multi-layered cushioning structure. When the foot is impacted, the multi-layered cushioning structure can absorb and disperse the impact force layer by layer, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the arch and knee joint.
[0044] Based on the above, a buffer groove 320 is formed between the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 330. It should be noted that the buffer groove 320 provides additional space between the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 330, allowing the sidewall 300 to deform under force, thereby converting impact energy into deformation energy and more effectively reducing the pressure on the arch of the foot and the knee joint.
[0045] Please see Figure 3 To improve the grip of the arch support sole 10 on wet or uneven surfaces and reduce the risk of slipping, the arch support sole 10 also includes a first anti-slip patch 510 and a second anti-slip patch 530. Furthermore, the first anti-slip patch 510 and the second anti-slip patch 530 are respectively attached to the outsole 200 at positions corresponding to the ball of the foot and the heel.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, to prevent impact injuries to the toes from direct external impacts and improve safety during outdoor exploration or sports, the end of the first anti-slip patch 510 away from the second anti-slip patch 530 is curved upward to form a forward-curving structure 511. Optionally, the forward-curving structure 511 extends 23 to 27 mm in the length direction of the supporting sole 10 with the arch bridge, specifically 25 mm.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, to further enhance the safety performance of the support sole 10 with an arch bridge, the second anti-slip patch 530 extends upward from the end away from the first anti-slip patch 510 to form a protective structure 531. Based on the above configuration, the thickness and support of the heel area are increased, thereby effectively stabilizing the heel and preventing backward leaning during exercise or walking.
[0048] Considering the good elasticity and wear resistance of rubber, both the first anti-slip patch 510 and the second anti-slip patch 530 are made of rubber. In addition, the outer surfaces of the first anti-slip patch 510 and the second anti-slip patch 530 are provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves 550 at intervals along the length of the support sole 10 with the arch bridge to form a geometric three-dimensional structure, thereby improving the comfort of walking gait and increasing the anti-slip performance.
[0049] In addition, the first anti-slip patch 510 has a toothed groove 570 on the side away from the second anti-slip patch 530 to prevent forward lurching. Correspondingly, the second anti-slip patch 530 also has a toothed groove 570 on the side away from the first anti-slip patch 510 to prevent falling backward, thereby improving the overall safety performance.
[0050] In summary, this utility model provides a support sole 10 with an arch bridge and a shoe. The support sole 10 with an arch bridge includes an insole 100, an outsole 200, a sidewall 300, and an arch bridge 400. The outsole 200 is for contact with the ground, the insole 100 is for contact with the foot, and the sidewall 300 connects the insole 100 and the outsole 200. The arch bridge 400 is made of TPU material. Due to the excellent toughness and support effect of TPU, it can effectively cushion the impact of the arch during gait and stabilize the joint. Based on the above, the insole 100 is recessed downwards at a position corresponding to the arch to form a mounting groove. The arch bridge 400 mates with the mounting groove, and each of the four corners of the arch bridge 400 extends outwards to form an extension 410. It can be understood that while the arch bridge 400 conforms to the arch and provides stable support, the extensions 410 can release pressure along the extension direction, dispersing the impact force on the arch and further improving wearing comfort and foot stability.
[0051] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
