[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-2As shown, a shoe with business walking function includes a sole 15 and an upper connected to the sole 15. The upper includes an upper 13 and a tongue 14. The sole 15 includes a midsole and an outsole located below the midsole. The upper of the upper 13 and the tongue 14 is made of chrome-tanned black calfskin leather 3. An inner toe cap 1 is provided at the toe area of the upper 13 between the upper and the lining. A main heel 2 is provided in the middle of the heel of the upper 13 between the upper and the lining. The midsole includes a midsole fabric 5 and a foam layer 7 located below the midsole fabric 5. The outsole includes an outer rubber sole 8 located below the foam layer 7. The inner toe cap 1 and the main heel 2 provide support and shaping. The chrome-tanned black calfskin leather 3 is also called chrome-tanned black calfskin leather. It has the following advantages: it is elastic, has good physical and mechanical strength, and is heat-resistant, wear-resistant, water-resistant, and has good extensibility. Chrome-tanned leather is strong, durable, and resistant to scratches and damage. Its strength and durability ensure high stability during manufacturing. This invention utilizes the strength and durability of chrome-tanned black calfskin leather 3 as the upper material for shoes. The outer rubber sole 8 provides excellent elasticity, grip, and cushioning; the foam layer 7 is lightweight, wear-resistant, and offers superior shock absorption and slip resistance. The sole 15 of this invention includes a thick foam layer 7 for softness and comfort; the upper 13 is made of leather, offering a dignified and durable finish; the lining uses various materials to meet the requirements of comfort and durability. The design of the upper 13 and sole 15 in this invention satisfies both the stability requirements of business shoes and the comfort and ease of walking, making it a business shoe suitable for extended walking and fitness activities.
[0016] The midsole fabric 5 has through holes, and supercritical material 6 is embedded in the through holes; the upper surface of the midsole fabric 5 and the upper surface of the supercritical material constitute the upper surface of the midsole. The supercritical material 6 can be in the shape of a boss, with the boss of the supercritical material 6 serving as the male stop and the through hole of the midsole fabric 5 as the female stop, i.e., the supercritical material 6 and the midsole fabric 5 have a stop-fit structure. Alternatively, the midsole fabric 5 and the supercritical material 6 can be fixedly connected, wherein the supercritical material 6 and the midsole fabric 5 are bonded or sewn together, fixing the outer surface of the supercritical material 6 to the inner surface of the through hole of the midsole fabric 5. The supercritical material 6 has excellent elasticity, directly transmitting pressure to the insole or sole, dispersing the pressure on the sole, and effectively dispersing peak pressure on the sole; due to pressure dispersion, it can reduce discomfort caused by prolonged walking. The supercritical material 6 is an existing material and will not be described in detail further.
[0017] The lining of the forefoot section of the upper 13 is made of microfiber filament fabric 4; the heel lining of the corresponding main heel 2 of the upper 13 is made of microfiber suede synthetic heel leather 10; the lining of the remaining sections of the upper 13 is made of chrome-tanned cowhide black soft leather 9. Different linings are used for different sections to meet the different needs of those sections, thus making the overall shoe comfortable and durable.
[0018] Preferably, the through holes are located at the ball of the foot and heel. Of course, the through holes can also be located on the entire insole fabric 5.
[0019] Furthermore, the interlayer at the opening of the upper 13, located above the main heel 2, is provided with T50 foam 11; the interlayer of the tongue 14 can also use new T50 foam 11; a quick-tightening system 12 is provided on the tongue 14. The quick-tightening system 12 is prior art and will not be described in detail. Of course, other specifications of foam can also be used. The foam is elastic, lightweight, and flexible. Located in the inner layer at the tongue 14 and the collar of the upper 13, it provides greater comfort when the foot moves forward and backward. The inner lining of the tongue 14, near the ankle, can be made of chrome-tanned cowhide black soft leather 9, while the front part can be made of a single layer of lining fabric.
[0020] Furthermore, the foam layer 7 located below the insole fabric 5 is a polyurethane foam layer 7. The insole fabric 5 and the polyurethane foam layer 7 are connected together using existing methods.
[0021] Furthermore, the outsole's fore-end rise is 15 to 25 millimeters. The 15mm thickness of the outsole can be referenced from the design of athletic shoes. This fore-end rise of the outsole creates a difference in height between the front and back of the shoe, making walking more effortless and lighter.
[0022] Furthermore, the aforementioned microfiber filament fabric 4 is a high-tech new textile material, with fiber diameters typically below 0.3 denier (5 micrometers in diameter), sometimes even reaching 0.00009 denier. Microfiber filament fabric 4 is mainly composed of an organic composite of polyester and nylon, with a common ratio in China being 80% polyester and 20% nylon, although 100% polyester is also used. Due to the extremely fine fibers, the rigidity of the microfiber yarn is significantly reduced, resulting in an exceptionally soft fabric feel. The small fiber size increases the specific surface area and capillary effect, providing excellent moisture absorption and dissipation, making it suitable for producing highly absorbent textiles. The more delicate distribution of reflected light within the fibers on the surface gives the microfiber fabric an elegant luster similar to silk.
[0023] The microfiber suede synthetic leather 10 possesses excellent abrasion resistance, maintaining a smooth and durable surface for extended periods. It performs exceptionally well in low-temperature environments, preserving its properties even in cold climates. It exhibits outstanding aging resistance, resisting the erosion of time and maintaining the material's stability and aesthetics. The tensile and tear strength of the microfiber synthetic leather can reach three times that of natural cow leather, demonstrating superior mechanical properties. Based on the abrasion resistance of the microfiber suede synthetic leather 10, it is incorporated into the heel area. The various parts of the shoe upper 13 of this invention are fixed together using existing methods, such as sewing, which will not be described in detail here.
[0024] In this invention, when manufacturing the outsole: the outer rubber sole 8 is placed into the mold of a shoe-making rotary machine. Then, the supercritical material 6 is temporarily bonded to the pre-stitched midsole fabric 5. The sewn-in upper 13 is then fitted onto the iron foot that matches the rotary machine. The upper 13 with the iron foot attached is flipped over onto the mold, and the polyurethane midsole is injected.
[0025] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined in any way, and as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should all be considered within the scope of this specification. Without departing from the overall concept of this utility model, any equivalent substitutions or modifications made to the technical solution of this utility model, as well as any changes and improvements, should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
