Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing, specifically to a sole structure and a shoe. Background Technology
[0002] Shoes, as an indispensable item in daily life, not only protect the feet but also enhance the aesthetics of clothing. Therefore, as technology has evolved, shoes have become diverse in type and function, catering to different groups of people and meeting their various wearing needs.
[0003] In athletic or casual shoes, high elasticity of the sole is crucial to assist users during exercise. However, existing shoes primarily rely on the elasticity of materials or carbon fiber plates to enhance sole elasticity. This approach is relatively inadequate in terms of the shoe's structural design. This application provides a sole structure that, through a combination of material selection, carbon fiber plate design, and overall sole structure design, improves the elasticity of the sole. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sole structure and a shoe that improves the poor cushioning performance of existing soles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a shoe sole structure, comprising:
[0006] The lower midsole has a raised section on the forefoot area facing the upper; and
[0007] The upper midsole includes a cushioning structure and a carbon plate. The front end of the cushioning structure is provided with an engaging part that movably abuts against the protrusion. The lower midsole has a fixing part at the heel position that is fixedly engaged with the upper midsole. Alternatively, the heel portion of the upper midsole and the heel portion of the lower midsole are integrally formed.
[0008] Preferably, the engagement portion is a protrusion structure or a groove structure, wherein the groove width of the groove structure is greater than that of the protrusion portion.
[0009] Preferably, a raised cushioning groove is formed on the lower midsole between the protrusion and the toe, and a support portion that cooperates with the cushioning groove is provided on the forefoot of the upper midsole.
[0010] Preferably, the sole structure further includes an outsole, which is disposed at the bottom of the insole, or the bottom of the insole is provided with an abrasion-resistant layer.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the outsole or the wear-resistant layer is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0012] Preferably, the cushioning structure is an arched structure that bends toward the shoe upper.
[0013] Preferably, the rear end of the buffer structure is provided with a top abutting part that abuts and supports the fixing part.
[0014] A shoe is also provided, including the sole structure as described above.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. The sole structure of this utility model includes an upper midsole and a lower midsole, with a protruding part and a locking part designed at the forefoot position to cooperate and form a structural support. When the human foot exerts force to step on the ground, the cushioning structure will collapse downward to form shock absorption or cushioning, and extend to the ends to provide support through the protruding part and locking part, providing rebound support, thereby improving the cushioning and rebound performance. Combined with the carbon plate design in the arch area, it can ensure the strength and elasticity of the sole structure, so as to provide good sports assistance for the user.

[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a shoe sole structure 2, including a lower midsole 10 and an upper midsole 20. The lower midsole 10 has a protrusion 101 on the forefoot position facing the shoe upper. The upper midsole 20 includes a cushioning structure 201 and a carbon plate 202. The front end of the cushioning structure 201 has an engaging part 2011 that movably abuts against the protrusion 101. The lower midsole 10 has a fixing part 102 on the heel of the foot that is fixedly engaged with the upper midsole 20. Alternatively, the heel of the upper midsole 20 and the heel of the lower midsole 10 are integrally formed.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lower midsole 10 and upper midsole 20 can be made of supercritical EVA foam material, which is lightweight and has good cushioning performance, thus providing elasticity in the material. Specifically, the sole structure 2 is designed with an upper midsole 20 and a lower midsole 10, and a protrusion 101 and a locking part 2011 are designed at the forefoot position to cooperate and form a structural support top. When the human foot exerts force to step on the foot, the cushioning structure 201 will collapse downward to form shock absorption or cushioning, and extend to the end, providing support through the protrusion 101 and the locking part 2011, providing rebound support force, thereby improving the cushioning and rebound performance. Combined with the carbon plate 202 design of the arch support, it can ensure the strength and elasticity of the sole structure 2, so as to provide good sports assistance for the user.
[0034] Furthermore, the design of the carbon plate 202 not only enhances the stability of the sole but also improves the overall torsional rigidity, ensuring foot stability and safety during exercise. The carbon plate 202 can be either a half-length or full-length structure to provide the necessary support and elasticity to the midsole, ensuring the structural resilience and support of the sole.
[0035] Furthermore, the lower midsole 10 and upper midsole 20 will be bonded together using adhesive to enhance the overall integrity and durability of the structure. A carbon fiber plate 202 will be embedded between the upper midsole 20 and the lower midsole 10, forming a stable sandwich structure to improve overall impact resistance. For the heel area, the lower midsole 10 and upper midsole 20 can also be designed using a one-piece molding method to enhance the overall structural stability and durability, ensuring that the sole does not easily deform during prolonged high-intensity exercise, further improving wearing comfort and athletic performance.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the engagement portion 2011 is either a raised structure or a groove structure, with the groove width being greater than that of the raised portion 101. The raised structure design forms a top abutment on the side to counteract the deformation force from the cushioning structure 201, while simultaneously providing reverse support to the cushioning structure 201, effectively dispersing foot pressure and allowing the cushioning structure 201 to generate good rebound force, providing assistance during exercise and improving the comfort of wearing the shoe 1. The groove structure design, by embedding into the engagement portion 2011, enhances the fit with the raised portion 101, further optimizing the cushioning effect and ensuring stable support even during vigorous exercise, thus improving the overall wearing experience.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a raised buffer groove 103 is formed on the lower midsole 10 between the protrusion 101 and the toe. A support part 203 that cooperates with the buffer groove 103 is provided on the forefoot position of the upper midsole 20. The support part 203 can increase the thickness of the sole and the curvature of the toe, thereby improving the cushioning or elasticity of the sole.
[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom of the lower middle bottom 10 is provided with a large bottom 30 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown), or, the bottom of the insole 10 may have a wear-resistant layer. The outsole 30 may be made of rubber to enhance wear resistance and grip, and the surface of the outsole 30 may be designed with anti-slip patterns 301 to further improve stability and safety during exercise. Alternatively, an anti-slip and wear-resistant layer may be designed on the bottom of the insole 10. Through a high-density design, the friction resistance with the ground is enhanced. Combined with the anti-slip patterns 301, this can improve friction and ensure reliable grip performance in various sports scenarios, further optimizing the sports experience.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, anti-slip patterns 301 are provided on the bottom surface of the outsole 30 or the wear-resistant layer. Appropriate textures can be designed as needed, such as mesh structures, stripe structures, or raised structures, to improve the anti-slip properties of the sole. Additionally, grooves can be designed between the anti-slip patterns 301 to enhance drainage performance and prevent water accumulation from affecting grip.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the cushioning structure 201 is an arched structure that bends towards the shoe upper. The arched structure design has good impact resistance, effectively dispersing the pressure of the ground on the foot, while also improving the elasticity and support of the sole, allowing athletes to experience better comfort and stability during high-intensity exercise. In addition, the arched structure can effectively reduce energy loss during exercise, provide auxiliary elastic force for the user, improve exercise efficiency, and ensure that the sole can perform excellently in different sports scenarios.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rear end of the buffer structure 201 in this embodiment is provided with a top abutting part 2012 that abuts against and supports the fixing part 102. The fixing part 102 can be a protruding structure, so that it can abut against the fixing part 102, thereby forming a corresponding support structure on the heel, abutting against and supporting the rear end of the buffer structure 201, forming a front and rear limiting support, and ensuring the elasticity of the buffer structure 201.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] like Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a shoe, including a sole structure 2 as described in Embodiment 1. The shoe 1 can be an athletic shoe or a casual shoe, etc. Through the design of the cushioning structure 201 in the sole structure 2, the sole can ensure good elasticity. Furthermore, by selecting materials for the lower midsole 10 and the upper midsole 20, a cushioning layer with good elasticity is formed. Selected materials, such as EVA or polyurethane, are not only lightweight but also effectively absorb impact, further improving the comfort and durability of the sole. The carbon plate 202 designed on the upper midsole 20 not only provides good support but also provides the necessary elastic feedback, enhancing stability and propulsion during exercise.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
