Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's boot technology, and in particular to a waterproof and breathable women's boot. Background Technology
[0002] Women's boots are a type of footwear designed specifically for women, typically worn in winter or cold weather, offering both warmth and style. Women's boots come in a variety of styles, including knee-high boots, ankle boots, combat boots, and Chelsea boots, each with its unique design and styling options. Knee-high boots are often paired with skirts or trousers, showcasing elegance and sexiness; combat boots, on the other hand, have a street style vibe, offering comfort and individuality. The materials used in women's boots range from leather and suede to synthetic fibers, and the variations in styles, colors, and details make them an indispensable fashion item for autumn and winter.
[0003] However, when walking in women's boots, the ventilation holes on the upper are the only channel for outside air to enter the shoe, which slows down the circulation between outside and inside air. This prevents sweat from being released in time, resulting in poor breathability and affecting comfort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof and breathable women's boot to improve the breathability of the boot and thus enhance the user's comfort when wearing it.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a waterproof and breathable women's boot, including a boot upper and a boot sole located at the bottom of the boot upper. The boot upper has an insole inside and also includes a breathable component. The breathable component includes an elastic airbag, an air supply hose, and several air outlet pipes disposed on the air supply hose and communicating with the inside of the air supply hose. The elastic airbag is located at the bottom root of the insole. The boot sole has an internal layer, and the air supply hose is disposed inside the internal layer and communicates with the inside of the elastic airbag. The other end of each air outlet pipe faces inward toward the inside of the boot upper.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the upper surface of the boot is provided with a plurality of exchange holes, and the bottom of the boot sole is provided with a plurality of anti-slip blocks.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the elastic airbag has an inflation tube on one side, and one side of the inflation tube extends to the outside of the boot sole. The side of the inflation tube away from the elastic airbag is threaded with a sealing cap. The bottom of the boot sole is also provided with a compression cylinder for sealing the air delivery hose. The compression cylinder is threaded to the boot sole, and one side of the compression cylinder abuts against the air delivery hose.
[0008] In one possible implementation, a support column is provided on the side of the bottom of the boot sole near the inflation tube, the support column has an accommodating space inside, the inflation tube is disposed in the accommodating space, the sealing cap is disposed inside the accommodating space and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space, and there is a gap between the outer side of the sealing cap and the bottom of the anti-slip block.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the horizontal height of the extrusion cylinder is higher than the horizontal height of the anti-blocking block, and both the extrusion cylinder and the sealing block have a cross groove on one end face.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the surface of the boot upper is provided with a waterproof coating.
[0011] This invention utilizes an elastic airbag, an air supply hose, and air outlet pipes. As the user walks, the heel intermittently compresses the elastic airbag. When the heel compresses the airbag, air is transported to the air supply hose and then blown into the boot upper through multiple outlet pipes. This promotes air circulation and exchange between the inside and outside of the boot, accelerates sweat evaporation, improves the breathability of women's boots, and enhances user comfort. Furthermore, the air supply hose is cleverly concealed within the sole's lining, avoiding any unsightly appearance and ensuring the boot's aesthetics. Simultaneously, the elastic airbag is located at the base of the insole, achieving highly efficient ventilation without requiring additional force. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0022] refer to Figure 1-6 This embodiment proposes a waterproof and breathable women's boot, including a boot upper 1, a boot sole 101 located at the bottom of the boot upper 1, an insole 102 inside the boot upper 1, and a waterproof coating on the surface of the boot upper 1. The waterproof coating can be a polyurethane (PU) waterproof coating. Polyurethane coating has good film-forming properties and can form a dense waterproof film on the surface of the boot upper 1, effectively preventing water penetration. At the same time, it has good water resistance and washability, and can maintain the waterproof effect for a long time.
[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a breathable component, which includes an elastic airbag 103, an air supply hose 104, and several air outlet pipes 105 disposed on the air supply hose 104 and communicating with the inside of the air supply hose 104. The elastic airbag 103 is disposed at the bottom root of the insole 102. The boot sole 101 has an inner layer 106. The air supply hose 104 is disposed inside the inner layer 106 and communicates with the inside of the elastic airbag 103. The other end of each air outlet pipe 105 faces the inside of the boot upper 1.
[0024] By incorporating an elastic airbag 103, an air supply hose 104, and an air outlet pipe 105, when the wearer walks, one heel lifts while the other foot presses down against the insole 102, compressing the elastic airbag 103. Air from the elastic airbag 103 is then delivered to the air supply hose 104 and subsequently blown into the boot upper 1 through multiple air outlet pipes 105. This promotes air circulation and exchange between the inside and outside of the boot upper 1, accelerates sweat evaporation, improves the breathability of the women's boots, and enhances wearing comfort. When the heel lifts, the elastic airbag 103 returns to its original shape; this process continuously cycles, ultimately achieving air flow within the boot upper 1 and further improving the boot's breathability. The elastic airbag 103 can be made of polyurethane or rubber, materials with excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance, capable of returning to its original shape after being subjected to pressure.
[0025] Secondly, the air supply hose 104 is cleverly concealed within the interlayer 106 of the boot sole 101, avoiding any unsightly appearance and ensuring the boot's aesthetics. Meanwhile, the elastic airbag 103 is positioned at the base of the insole 102, utilizing the wearer's walking momentum to achieve efficient ventilation without requiring additional power.
[0026] In addition, the elastic airbag 103 and air delivery hose 104 of the breathable component are located at the bottom of the insole 102 and the interlayer 106 of the boot sole 101. This does not change the main structure of the bottom of the boot sole 101. It can still provide stable support when walking, maintain a normal gait, and avoid walking instability caused by insufficient support.
[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of exchange holes 2 are provided on the surface of the boot upper 1, and a plurality of anti-slip blocks 201 are provided on the bottom of the boot sole 101. The exchange holes 2 provide an exhaust channel for the air inside the boot, forming an "intake-exhaust" airflow circulation system with the air outlet pipe 105, further enhancing air circulation efficiency. At the same time, the anti-slip blocks 201 increase the friction between the boot sole 101 and the ground, improving breathability while ensuring the stability of women's boots in wet and slippery environments, avoiding a decrease in anti-slip performance due to breathability design, and achieving a balance between functionality and safety.
[0028] It should also be noted that the sole 101 in this design can be made of a rigid material to ensure that the air supply hose 104 is not blocked when the wearer presses down on the sole of the foot, thereby ensuring the normal use of the ventilation components.
[0029] In this embodiment, an inflation tube 3 is provided on one side of the elastic airbag 103, and one side of the inflation tube 3 extends to the outside of the boot sole 101. A sealing cap 301 is threadedly connected to the side of the inflation tube 3 away from the elastic airbag 103. A compression cylinder 302 for sealing the air supply hose 104 is also provided at the bottom of the boot sole 101. The compression cylinder 302 is threadedly connected to the boot sole 101, and one side of the compression cylinder 302 abuts against the air supply hose 104.
[0030] It should be noted that there are various ways to connect the extrusion cylinder 302 and the boot sole 101 by thread. For example, the extrusion cylinder 302 can be directly threaded to the boot sole 101, or a metal threaded sleeve can be embedded in the bottom of the boot sole 101 and then threaded to the extrusion cylinder 302. These methods are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
[0031] The inflation tube 3, through its design, can be used to replenish air, restoring the performance of the elastic airbag 103 and extending its service life. The compression cylinder 302, through threaded rotation, can adjust the pressure on the air delivery hose 104, thereby controlling the airflow. Users can flexibly adjust breathability according to seasonal changes or personal needs, such as reducing airflow in winter to prevent excessive cold and increasing airflow in summer to enhance breathability. The threaded connection design ensures a tight seal between the compression cylinder 302 and the bottom of the boot sole 101, preventing moisture infiltration and meeting the dual requirements of "waterproof and breathable" for women's boots.
[0032] Furthermore, when the wearer needs increased height and has no particular requirements for breathability, the compression cylinder 302 can be rotated to compress the air supply hose 104 from the side, thereby sealing the inside of the air supply hose 104. Then, the sealing cap 301 can be rotated and removed, and gas can be supplied to the inside through the inflation tube 3, causing the elastic airbag 103 to inflate. After the elastic airbag 103 inflates, the base of the insole 102 rises accordingly, thereby achieving a height-increasing effect, meeting the different needs of the wearer, and improving usability.
[0033] It should be noted that because the side of the compression cylinder 302 compresses and seals the air supply hose 104, the gas inside the elastic airbag 103 cannot be released when the wearer presses down with their heel. Therefore, the airbag always remains inflated, thus achieving the height-increasing effect.
[0034] Furthermore, a support post 303 is provided on the bottom of the boot sole 101 near the inflation tube 3. The support post 303 has an accommodating space 304 inside, and the inflation tube 3 is disposed within the accommodating space 304. A sealing cap 301 is disposed inside the accommodating space 304 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 304. A gap exists between the outer side of the sealing cap 301 and the bottom of the anti-slip block 201. This slidable connection between the sealing cap 301 and the inner wall of the accommodating space 304 ensures that there is no gap between the sealing cap 301 and the accommodating space 304, preventing dirt or other impurities from becoming embedded inside the accommodating space 304.
[0035] Since the air tube 3 is exposed and easily worn or broken due to ground friction, the support column 303 and the accommodating space 304 can hide and protect it. At the same time, the gap design between the anti-slip block 201 and the support column 303 prevents the sealing cover 301 from contacting the ground when walking, preventing the sealing cover 301 from being squeezed open accidentally or damaged. In addition, the gap between the sealing cover 301 and the bottom of the anti-slip block 201 ensures that the anti-slip block 201 can fully contact the ground without affecting the anti-slip performance, and avoids uneven local friction or excessive wear caused by the protruding sealing cover 301.
[0036] Furthermore, if the extrusion cylinder 302 and the anti-slip block 201 are at the same height, the extrusion cylinder 302 may accidentally compress the air supply hose 104 due to ground friction during walking, affecting the air permeability. Therefore, the horizontal height of the extrusion cylinder 302 is higher than that of the anti-slip block 201 to ensure that the air supply hose 104 is not accidentally squeezed during normal walking. At the same time, a cross groove 305 is provided on one end face of both the extrusion cylinder 302 and the sealing block. The cross groove 305 on the end face makes it easy for users to rotate the extrusion cylinder 302 or the sealing cap 301 with tools such as screwdrivers, improving the convenience of operation.
