[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-3.

[0031] This application discloses a children's sandal with a lateral support upper. Referring to FIG1, the children's sandal with a lateral support upper includes a sole body 1 and an upper body 2. The upper body 2 is disposed on the sole body 1, and the sole body 1 and the upper body 2 form a shoe cavity 3.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1, the sole body 1 includes a first midsole 11 and a second midsole 12, with the first midsole 11 fixed to the second midsole 12. In this embodiment, the first midsole 11 is softer than the second midsole 12 to improve the comfort of the wearer's feet. The sole body 1 can be made of materials such as PU or EVA. The greater softness of the first midsole 11 compared to the second midsole 12 can be achieved by adjusting the formula of the sole body 1.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, along the inner to outer side of the upper body 2, the upper body 2 sequentially includes a breathable mesh layer 21, a first support member 22, and a second support member 23; both the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 are disposed on the side of the upper body 2; the lateral support upper of the children's sandal is a combination of the breathable mesh layer 21, the first support member 22, and the second support member 23. The first support member 22 is sewn and fixed to the breathable mesh layer 21 through the first stitch 4, and the first support member 22 is fixedly connected to the sole body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the breathable mesh layer 21 is made of breathable mesh fabric, and the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 are made of artificial leather, so that the structural rigidity of the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 is greater than the structural rigidity of the breathable mesh layer 21.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the second support member 23 is sewn and fixed to the first support member 22 and the breathable mesh layer 21 by a second stitch 5. The second stitch 5 is set along the outer edge of the second support member 23. The second stitch 5 is set along the outer edge of the second support member 23, thereby maximizing the function of the second support member 23 and improving the structural rigidity of the shoe side.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the second support member 23 is sewn and fixed to the first support member 22, and there is an avoidance distance between the bottom end of the second support member 23 and the sole body 1. The top end of the second support member 23 extends upward and is sewn and fixed to the breathable mesh layer 21.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the shoe upper body 2 also includes a rotating button 24, shoelaces 6, and a retaining ring 7. The retaining ring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support member 23, and the retaining ring 7 is also fixedly connected to the second support member 23. The retaining ring 7 has an installation hole for the shoelaces 6 to pass through. The rotating button 24 is used to tighten and loosen the shoelaces 6, so that the wearer can wear the children's sandals. Using the rotating button 24 to tighten and loosen the shoelaces 6 is in the prior art, and the specific structure of the rotating button 24 will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The retaining ring is fixedly connected to the second support member 23, so that when the shoelaces 6 are tightened, the wrapping effect of the shoe side on the wearer's foot can be improved, and the lateral restraint effect of the shoe side on the wearer's foot can be improved.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, along the length of the upper body 2, the top of the second support member 23 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 231 spaced apart; outside air passes through the first grooves 231 and the breathable mesh layer 21 in sequence to enter the shoe cavity 3; the bottom of the second support member 23 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 232 spaced apart, and the first grooves 231 and the second grooves 232 are staggered. The second grooves 232 at the top of the second support member 23 improve the structural rigidity of the side of the upper body 2, while also facilitating ventilation and heat dissipation of the upper body 2, thus reducing the temperature of the wearer's feet.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, along the direction of the sole body 1, the bottom end of the first support member 22 is provided with a plurality of third grooves 221 spaced apart, and the bottom of the grooves 221 extend upward into the second groove 232. The bottom of the second support member 23 is provided with third grooves 221, and the second groove 232 reserves extension space for the extension of the third grooves 221 to increase the area of ​​the third grooves 221; thereby increasing the ventilation and air exchange area on the side of the shoe, which is beneficial to improving the ventilation and heat dissipation performance of the upper body 2.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the breathable mesh layer 21 has a notch at the second groove 232, that is, the upper body 2 is provided with a number of openings at intervals on the side near the sole body 1, so as to improve the breathability of children's sandals.

[0041] The implementation principle of a children's sandal with a lateral support upper in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0042] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 are partially stacked in the middle area, which makes the structural rigidity of the middle of the shoe side high, while the structural rigidity of the upper and lower sides of the shoe side is low.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in the bottom area of ​​the side of the upper body 2, the breathable mesh layer 21 and the first support member 22 are fixedly connected to the sole body 1, which reduces the local stiffness of the connection area between the upper body 2 and the sole body 1. Therefore, when children wear children's sandals, it is beneficial to the deformation of the bottom of the upper body 2 and to the inward movement of the side of the upper body 2, so as to improve the fit between the side of the upper body 2 and the wearer's foot and improve the restraint effect of the side of the shoe on the wearer's foot.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in the middle area of ​​the side of the shoe upper body 2, the breathable mesh layer 21, the first support member 22, and the second support member 23 are stacked and fixed, which makes the structure of the middle area of ​​the side of the shoe more rigid, so as to improve the restraint effect of the side of the shoe on the wearer's foot.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a breathable mesh layer 21 and a second support member 23 are fixedly connected in the upper region of the side of the shoe upper body 2; this reduces the degree of fit between the upper region of the side of the shoe upper body 2 and the wearer's foot, improves the wrapping effect of the shoe upper body 2 on the wearer's foot, and enhances the restraint effect of the side of the shoe on the wearer's foot.

[0046] In summary, by setting the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 on the sides of the shoe upper body 2, the structural rigidity of the shoe side is improved, thereby enhancing the lateral restraint effect of the shoe upper body 2 on the wearer's foot. As a result, when children engage in high-intensity activities such as running and jumping, the shoe upper body 2 of the children's sandals can effectively restrain the displacement of the wearer's foot, reduce the risk of the wearer spraining their ankle, and improve the safety of children's walking.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows:

[0049] Referring to Figure 3, the children's sandals also include an elastic filler 8. The first support member 22 and the second support member 23 form a receiving cavity, and the elastic filler 8 is filled into the receiving cavity. By providing an elastic filler between the first support member 22 and the second support member 23, the structural rigidity of the middle area of ​​the shoe side is further improved, thereby enhancing the lateral restraint effect of the shoe side on the wearer's foot. The elastic filler 8 can be made of materials such as foam or foam beads; in this embodiment, the elastic filler 8 is foam.

[0050] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, the first support member 22 has a first ventilation hole 222, and the second support member 23 has a second ventilation hole 233. The first ventilation hole 222 and the second ventilation hole 233 are used to connect the receiving chamber to further improve the breathability of the shoe upper body 2.

[0051] 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.
