Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of shoe sole structure technology, and in particular to a comfortable and protective shoe sole for children's shoes. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, babies aged 0-3 are in the toddler learning stage. At this stage, their feet are mainly composed of unossified cartilage, resulting in limited motor control and instability while walking. Currently, children's shoe sole designs on the market primarily focus on lightweight and breathability, often reducing the sole area for lightness. However, this design reduces support and friction between the forefoot and heel. Since babies' feet develop rapidly between 0-3 years, with short toes, wide feet, and fragile, sensitive feet, wearing shoes with existing soles can easily lead to instability, fatigue, and affect comfort and walking posture. Furthermore, they offer less protection when hitting hard objects. As parents become more aware of children's foot health, the market demand for toddler shoes that combine comfort and protection is growing. There is a need to address how to improve foot comfort and protection when wearing children's shoes, thereby ensuring foot stability for toddlers and children while walking. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To improve the comfort and protection of toddlers' or children's feet, this application provides a comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes.
[0004] This application provides a comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes, employing the following technical solution:
[0005] A comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes includes a sole body comprising a forefoot portion, a heel portion, and an arch portion. The forefoot portion has anti-side sliders on both sides of its bottom, which are spaced apart. The forefoot portion has a toe guard at its end. The heel portion has a ring of heel protectors around its bottom. The arch portion is located between the forefoot portion and the heel portion.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, when walking in shoes with a sole, the anti-side block can increase the lateral area of the forefoot, adapting to the wide characteristics of a baby's foot and improving the comfort of the baby's foot. At the same time, it can increase the ground friction of the forefoot. The heel protector can increase the ground friction of the heel, providing an anti-slip effect. When kicking hard objects, the toe protector can protect the toes. When walking, the heel protector can wrap around the bottom of the heel, and the heel protrusion can provide additional support to the heel, thereby improving foot stability and reducing the risk of slipping.
[0007] Optionally, the bottom of the forefoot is provided with several curved components, and curved grooves are formed between the curved components.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the ground contact area and friction of the middle of the forefoot can be increased, further improving the friction.
[0009] Optionally, an elliptical elastic block is provided on the bottom side of the heel, and the heel protector is arranged around the periphery of the elliptical elastic block, the thickness of the elliptical elastic block being lower than the thickness of the heel protector.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when worn, the elliptical elastic block can correspond to the position of the bottom of the heel, apply elastic support to the heel, and form multiple cushioning.
[0011] Optionally, the bottom of the arch portion is provided with a connecting block, and the bottom side of the connecting block is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stability of the midfoot and arch can be improved.
[0013] Optionally, the anti-slip texture is arranged in a divergent line pattern or parallel to each other.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the ground friction at the arch of the foot can be improved.
[0015] Optionally, the end of the forefoot furthest from the arch is widened into a rounded toe shape, and the toe guard is fan-shaped in the horizontal direction.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the toes are given more lateral movement space, which adapts to the natural shape of children's wide feet and increases comfort.
[0017] Optionally, the toe guard is curved upwards in the vertical direction, and the central angle corresponding to the length of the upward curve of the toe guard is less than 90°.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, more vertical movement and adjustment space can be provided for the toes, reducing discomfort.
[0019] Optionally, the angle between the extending direction of the forefoot and the extending direction of the heel is an obtuse angle.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, lateral support for the foot can be increased, reducing the occurrence of sprains.
[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. When walking in shoes with a sole, the anti-side block increases the lateral area of the forefoot, adapting to the wide shape of a baby's foot and improving comfort. It also increases the ground friction of the forefoot. The heel protector increases the ground friction of the heel, providing an anti-slip effect. When kicking hard objects, the toe protector protects the toes. When walking, the heel protector wraps around the bottom of the heel, and the heel protrusion provides extra support to the heel, thereby improving foot stability and reducing the risk of slipping.
[0023] 2. When wearing, the oval elastic block can be positioned at the bottom of the heel to provide elastic support to the heel, creating multiple layers of cushioning;
[0024] 3. Toe guards can protect your toes when you kick a hard object. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0031] This application discloses a comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes includes a sole body comprising a forefoot portion 1, a heel portion 2, and an arch portion 3. Anti-slip sliders 11 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the forefoot portion 1, and the anti-slip sliders 11 are spaced apart. Anti-slip patterns 32 are provided on the bottom side of the anti-slip sliders 11. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 3The heel guard plate 21 is provided at the end of the heel part away from the forefoot part 1. The heel guard plate 21 is located at the top of the heel part 2. Several heel guard blocks 22 are arranged around the bottom periphery of the heel part 2. The arch part 3 is located between the forefoot part 1 and the heel part 2. The bottom side area of the forefoot part 1 is larger than the bottom side area of the arch part 3. The bottom side area of the forefoot part 1 is larger than the bottom side area of the heel part 2. The heel guard blocks 22 located at the end of the heel part 2 away from the arch part 3 are connected to the heel guard plate 21.
[0033] When toddlers or children walk in shoes with a sole, according to biomechanics, the forefoot area accounts for a larger proportion of the foot's total area. The anti-side slider 11 increases the lateral area of the forefoot 1, adapting to the wide shape of a baby's foot and the natural state of the foot, thereby improving the baby's foot comfort. At the same time, the anti-side slider 11 increases the ground friction of the forefoot 1, minimizing the possibility of the forefoot slipping. The heel protector 21 provides additional support to the relatively small heel area, improving heel stability and indirectly protecting the ankle. The heel protector 22 increases the contact area of the heel 2 with the ground, increasing the stress points on the bottom of the shoe. When walking, the heel protector 22 acts as a ring around the bottom of the heel, improving the stability of the heel and even the entire foot, reducing the risk of slipping.
[0034] A toe guard 12 is provided at the top of the end of the forefoot 1 away from the arch 3. The toe guard 12 can protect the toes when walking. When kicking a wall or other hard object, it can disperse and absorb the impact force, reduce the possibility of toe injury, and achieve a good protective effect.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the forefoot part 1 is provided with several curved components. The curved components are arranged along the extension direction of the forefoot part 1 and are spaced apart to form a curved groove 14. The gap between adjacent anti-side sliders 11 is connected to the curved groove 14. The curved component includes a curved block 13. The curved blocks 13 in the same group of curved components are arranged in a wave-shaped or S-shaped curve. The curved blocks 13 near the inner foot side are curved towards the arch part 3, and the curved blocks 13 near the outer foot side are curved away from the arch part 3.
[0036] Because the curved blocks 13 are arranged in a curved pattern, they can increase the additional ground contact area of the forefoot 1, improve friction when wearing and walking, reduce the risk of slipping, and also facilitate the flexion of the forefoot when walking or in other situations.
[0037] An elliptical ring 23 is provided in the middle of the bottom side of the heel ball 2. The elliptical ring 23 is elliptical in shape. The bottom side of the elliptical ring 23 is flush with the bottom side of the heel protector block 22. An elliptical elastic block 24 is provided in the middle of the elliptical ring 23. The elliptical elastic block 24 is elliptical in shape. The heel protector block 22 is arranged around the elliptical elastic block 24 and the elliptical ring 23 along the outline of the elliptical elastic block 24 and the elliptical ring 23. The thickness of the elliptical elastic block 24 is lower than the thickness of the heel protector block 22, so that the elliptical elastic block 24 can form a state that is relatively concave towards the bottom side of the heel ball 2, thereby forming a cushioning space. The density of the elliptical elastic block 24 is greater than the density of the heel protector block 22 and the density of the elliptical ring 23.
[0038] When worn, the elliptical elastic block 24 corresponds to the middle of the wearer's heel. The relatively high density of the elliptical elastic block 24 can provide elastic support to the heel, thus playing a good cushioning role. When walking, the heel support block 22 and the elliptical ring 23 first achieve the first step of cushioning. Before the elliptical elastic block 24 contacts the ground, the cushioning space formed by the elliptical elastic block 24 and the elliptical ring 23 is the second step of cushioning. Then, the elliptical elastic block 24 contacts the ground to achieve the third step of cushioning, thereby improving the stability of the heel and the entire foot when walking. The elliptical ring 23 can bear most of the pressure on the heel, reducing the situation where the heel does not feel supported.
[0039] Connecting blocks 31 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the arch part 3. Anti-slip texture 32 is provided on the bottom side of the connecting blocks 31. The thickness of the connecting block 31 near the inner foot side is greater than the thickness of the connecting block 31 near the outer foot side. The connecting blocks 31 can provide support for both sides of the middle of the sole of the foot and can play an auxiliary role in the stability of the arch.
[0040] The anti-slip texture 32 is arranged in a radiating line pattern or parallel to each other, which increases the ground friction at the arch of the foot 3 and further enhances the anti-slip effect.
[0041] The forefoot 1, away from the arch 3, is widened and rounded. The toe guard 12 is fan-shaped in the horizontal direction. The height of the toe guard 12 varies from high in the middle to low at both ends of the forefoot 1 away from the arch 3. This protects the toes, provides more lateral movement space for the toes, increases comfort, increases the contact area between the forefoot 1 and the ground, and allows for better ground awareness to maintain balance. This contributes to proper foot development and reduces the risk of bumps and injuries.
[0042] The toe guard 12 is an upward-curving arc-shaped plate in the vertical direction. The central angle corresponding to the length of the upward arc of the toe guard 12 is less than 90°. While protecting the toes, it reduces the situation of covering the entire toe, and provides more vertical movement and adjustment space for the toes, reducing the feeling of restriction and discomfort.
[0043] The forefoot 1 is shifted inwards to form an angle with the extension direction of the rearfoot 2. The angle between the extension direction of the forefoot 1 and the extension direction of the rearfoot 2 is an obtuse angle, which can enhance the flexibility or stability of the foot, increase lateral support, and reduce the occurrence of sprains.
[0044] The implementation principle of a comfortable and protective sole for children's shoes according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0045] When toddlers or children walk in shoes with a sole, the anti-side slider 11 increases the lateral area of the forefoot 1, adapting to the wide shape of the baby's foot and the natural state of the baby's foot, thereby improving the comfort of the baby's foot. The anti-side slider 11 increases the friction of the forefoot 1 when the foot applies pressure to the ground, minimizing the possibility of the forefoot slipping. The forefoot 1 provides more lateral movement space for the toes, adapting to the natural shape of the baby's forefoot and increasing the comfort of the forefoot. The heel protector convex plate 21 provides additional support for the relatively small heel area, providing some protection for the ankle. The heel protector block 22 increases the contact area of the heel 2 with the ground. The elliptical elastic block 24 and the heel protector block 22 provide multiple cushioning effects for the heel, improving the stability of the heel, thereby improving the walking stability of the foot and reducing the risk of slipping.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. These embodiments are only explanations 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.
