Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a shoe with an ankle support structure. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for shoe performance are also increasing. As an essential item in people's daily lives, shoes have the functions of keeping warm, resisting friction and impact, and preventing slippage and shock absorption, thus protecting the human feet. Shoes are mainly composed of uppers and soles. Whether shoes are comfortable depends first on the sole. The sole is the part of the shoe that is in direct contact with the ground. It is directly subjected to the friction and impact of the ground and transmits the reaction force of the ground to the feet.

[0003] Existing athletic shoes, due to friction between the sole and the ground during exercise, and the potential for improper force causing the sole to tilt, can lead to ankle sprains and impaired mobility. With increasing health awareness and fitness demands, the requirements for shoe safety and comfort are also growing. There is an urgent need to develop shoes with ankle support structures to reduce the risk of ankle sprains caused by shoe-related factors and provide users with a safer and more comfortable wearing experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shoe with an ankle support structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A shoe with an ankle support structure includes a sole and an upper disposed on the sole. A base band is disposed at the bottom of the heel counter of the upper, and the base band wraps around the left and right sides of the heel counter of the upper. Multiple sole support pieces are disposed at the bottom of the left and right sides of the base band. Grooves adapted to the structure of the sole support pieces are disposed on both sides of the heel of the sole, and the support pieces are embedded in the grooves. Multiple upper arm protectors are disposed at the top of the left and right sides of the base band, and the upper arm protectors are inclined toward the heel. One or more connecting arms are disposed between the upper arm protectors and the base band or adjacent upper arm protectors.

[0007] Furthermore, the baseband sheet has a heel support piece located at the center of the heel of the shoe.

[0008] Furthermore, an extension arm is provided above the upper arm of the shoe.

[0009] Furthermore, the extension arm is disposed on the extension line of the connecting arm.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the extension arm and the connecting arm is less than the thickness of the upper arm.

[0011] Furthermore, the sole support piece has a V-shaped or arc-shaped structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the base plate, sole support plate, upper arm, connecting arm, extension arm, and heel support plate are integrated into one structure.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers at least the following advantages: Through the synergistic action of the baseband, sole support, upper arm, connecting arm, and extension arm, this invention provides anti-torsion protection for the ankle when subjected to external forces. Specifically, the baseband wraps around the left and right sides of the heel counter, providing lateral support and stability to the ankle, limiting excessive lateral swaying and reducing the risk of sprains. The sole support provides excellent cushioning under pressure, effectively dispersing impact from the ground and reducing pressure on the ankle. The sole support enhances sole stability, preventing excessive torsion and providing a stable support base for the ankle, thus reducing the risk of sprains. The upper arm deforms accordingly with ankle flexion and extension during movement, providing dynamic support and reducing the risk of sprains. The upper arm connects to the baseband or adjacent upper arms via connecting arms, forming a cross-support structure that further enhances the overall stability and strength of the upper, increasing the shoe's anti-torsion capability. The extension arm is located above the upper arm protector and on the connecting arm extension line, further restraining the upper ankle and reducing the risk of sprains. The heel support plate is located in the middle of the heel, effectively stabilizing the heel and preventing it from wobbling, tilting, or deforming during exercise, providing a stable support base for the ankle.

[0022] See Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a shoe with an ankle support structure, including a sole 1 and an upper 2 disposed on the sole 1. A base strip 3 is disposed at the bottom of the heel of the upper 2. The base strip 3 wraps around the left and right sides of the heel of the upper 2. A heel support piece 8 is disposed at the center of the heel of the shoe.

[0023] Three shoe sole support pieces 4 are respectively provided on the bottom of the left and right sides of the base band 3. The shoe sole support pieces 4 have a V-shaped structure, with their openings facing upwards, and their top two ends connected to the bottom of the base band 3 to form a closed structure. Grooves 9 adapted to the structure of the shoe sole support pieces 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the heel of the shoe sole 1; the support pieces 4 are embedded in the grooves 9. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the shoe sole support pieces 4 have an arc-shaped structure.

[0024] Three upper support arms 5 are respectively provided on the top of the left and right sides of the base band 8. The upper support arms 5 are inclined towards the heel 5, and one or more connecting arms are provided between the upper support arms 5 and the base band 3 or adjacent upper support arms 5. In this embodiment, an extension arm 7 is provided above the upper support arm 5 located in the middle, and the extension arm 7 is arranged on the extension line of the connecting arm 6. In other embodiments, extension arms are also provided on the front and / or rear upper support arms 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the thickness of the extension arm 7 and the connecting arm 6 is less than the thickness of the shoe upper arm 5.

[0026] Working Principle: In this invention, the base band 3 wraps around the left and right sides of the heel counter of the upper 2, providing lateral support and stability to the ankle, limiting excessive lateral swaying and reducing the risk of sprains. The sole support plate 4 has a V-shaped or arc-shaped structure with its opening facing upwards and both ends connected to the base band. When the sole 1 is under pressure, it provides good cushioning performance, effectively dispersing the impact force from the ground and reducing the pressure on the ankle. Simultaneously, it is located in the corresponding groove 9 on the side of the sole 1 and fixed to the sole 1, enhancing the stability of the sole 1 and preventing excessive twisting, thus providing a stable support base for the ankle and reducing the risk of sprains. The upper arm 5 deforms accordingly with the flexion and extension of the ankle during movement, providing dynamic support and reducing the risk of sprains. The upper arm is connected to the base band or adjacent upper arms via connecting arms, forming a cross-support structure. This structure further enhances the overall stability and strength of the upper and strengthens the shoe's torsional resistance. When the ankle is subjected to external force, the connecting arm distributes the force to different components, preventing excessive localized stress and thus improving the overall protection of the ankle from the upper. This effectively prevents ankle sprains caused by uneven stress during complex movements. The extension arm, located above the upper arm and on the extension line of the connecting arm, further restrains the upper part of the ankle, limiting excessive flexion and extension, especially during movements with large foot movements. It prevents the ankle from excessively bending or extending beyond a safe range, reducing the risk of sprains. The heel support plate, located in the middle of the heel, effectively stabilizes the heel, preventing it from wobbling, tilting, or deforming during exercise, providing a stable support base for the ankle. A stable heel helps maintain body balance and normal ankle posture, reducing uneven stress and accidental sprains caused by heel instability.

[0027] In this embodiment, the baseband, sole support, upper arm, connecting arm, extension arm, and heel support are glued to the shoe. Preferably, the baseband, sole support, upper arm, connecting arm, extension arm, and heel support are integrated into a single structure made of TPU material. This integrated structure ensures a tighter and more stable connection between the baseband, upper arm, connecting arm, sole support, and extension arm, providing reliable ankle support as a robust whole and enhancing the shoe's overall torsional rigidity. During ankle flexion, extension, or lateral stress, the components (such as the connecting arm and upper arm) deform collaboratively, providing uniform support and torsional stiffness.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
