Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear, and more particularly to a beach shoe with an integrated front protective structure for children. Background Technology
[0002] Beach shoes are footwear primarily designed for use on the beach, requiring a balance of sand protection, breathability, comfort, and safety. The uppers of beach shoes are typically designed with a perforated pattern, similar to sandals, to allow sand to escape. Because waves wash hard debris and rocks ashore, feet can sometimes scrape against these objects while playing on the beach. Children's feet are particularly vulnerable, as their delicate feet are more prone to scratches. Some beach shoes incorporate protective structures at the toe area to protect children's toes. However, this increased protection often leads to a larger toe area, significantly adding weight and compromising the shoe's lightweight design. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to improve the front protection of beach shoes while reducing the impact on the lightweight of the shoes, this application provides a beach shoe with an integrated front protection structure.
[0004] The beach shoes with an integrated front-end protective structure provided in this application adopt the following technical solution:
[0005] A beach shoe with an integrated front protective structure includes a sole and an upper. The sole includes an outsole and a midsole. The front end of the outsole extends upward to form the front protective structure. The front protective structure is bonded and fixed to the front end of the upper. The front protective structure is U-shaped and extends from the toe of the upper to both sides. The middle part of the front protective structure is protruding.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the midsole of the beach shoes meets the cushioning requirements of the sole, while the outsole meets the wear resistance requirements. The front end of the outsole extends upwards as a single piece to form a front protective structure. This structure covers the front part of the upper, maintaining a stable structural shape at the front of the shoe. Because the front protective structure is formed by extending upwards from the outsole, it has high strength, providing excellent protection for the front of the shoe. The front protective structure is designed in a U-shape, providing significant reinforcement to the front of the upper. The protruding center of the U-shape maximizes the longitudinal protection range at the toe area. This design allows for maximum protection while minimizing material usage in the front protective structure, thus meeting the requirements of lightweight shoe design.
[0007] Optionally, the upper includes a leather outer layer and a mesh inner layer, the leather outer layer being fixedly connected to the midsole, and the mesh inner layer being sewn to the leather outer layer.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the leather outer layer of the shoe upper gives the shoe upper high structural strength and a stable appearance; the mesh inner layer can meet the breathability requirements of the shoe.
[0009] Optionally, the outer layer of the leather is provided with ventilation holes evenly distributed.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting breathable holes on the outer layer of leather, the outer layer of leather has a certain degree of breathability.
[0011] Optionally, an airbag interlayer is provided between the front end of the shoe upper and the front protective structure.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the airbag interlayer has a cushioning effect. The airbag interlayer is set between the front end of the shoe upper and the front protective structure, making the front end of the shoe feel softer and improving the comfort of the shoe.
[0013] Optionally, the airbag interlayer includes a hot-pressed body, the hot-pressed body is provided with a plurality of airbag bulges, the hot-pressed body is simultaneously bonded and fixed to the front end of the shoe upper and the front end protective structure, the front end of the shoe upper is provided with a plurality of front end notches, the front end notches are provided one-to-one with the airbag bulges, and the airbag bulges are located inside the front end notches.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the airbag interlayer mainly achieves the cushioning effect through the airbag bulge. The airbag bulge is exposed from the front end notch, making it easy for the airbag bulge to play a cushioning role. The airbag interlayer is bonded to the front end of the upper and the front end of the outsole through hot pressing, which helps to control the thickness of the front end of the shoe.
[0015] Optionally, the airbag interlayer has an outer sidewall and an inner sidewall, wherein the outer sidewall is close to the front protective structure and the thickness of the outer sidewall is less than the thickness of the inner sidewall.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness of the inner wall of the airbag interlayer is increased, making the inner wall of the airbag interlayer less prone to wear and breakage.
[0017] Optionally, the sole is provided with a plurality of sand-removing holes, including an upper sand-removing hole provided on the midsole and a lower sand-removing hole provided on the outsole. The center of the upper sand-removing hole and the center of the lower sand-removing hole are offset in the horizontal direction, and the upper sand-removing hole and the lower sand-removing hole are in communication.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, sand particles entering the shoe can be discharged through the sand discharge holes, reducing the friction between the sand particles and the wearer's feet and the shoe materials. The upper and lower sand discharge holes are staggered and connected, which can reduce the reverse entry of sand into the shoe from the bottom up while meeting the sand discharge requirements.
[0019] Optionally, the lower port of the lower sand discharge hole is smaller than the upper port, the upper port of the lower sand discharge hole is connected to the upper sand discharge hole, and the lower port of the lower sand discharge hole is completely offset from the upper sand discharge hole in the horizontal direction.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower end of the sand discharge hole is completely offset from the sand discharge hole in the horizontal direction, which can further reduce the amount of sand entering the shoe from the bottom up.
[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. The outsole extends upwards in one continuous piece to form a front protective structure, providing high-level protection for the forefoot. This U-shaped structure reinforces the front of the upper over a large area, with a prominent central section extending longitudinal protection at the toe. This design allows for minimal material usage in the front protective structure while still providing adequate protection, thus meeting the requirements of lightweight shoe design.
[0023] 2. The airbag interlayer has a cushioning effect. The airbag interlayer is set between the front of the shoe upper and the front protective structure, making the front of the shoe feel softer and improving the comfort of the shoe.
[0024] 3. Sand particles entering the shoe can be discharged through the sand venting holes, reducing friction between the sand particles and the wearer's feet and the shoe materials. The upper and lower sand venting holes are staggered and connected, which can reduce the amount of sand entering the shoe from the bottom up while meeting the sand venting requirements.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a beach shoe with an integrated front protective structure. (See also...) Figure 1 The beach shoes with an integrated front protective structure include a sole 1 and an upper 2. The sole 1 includes an outsole 11 and a midsole 12. The front end of the outsole 11 extends upward to form a front protective structure 111. The front protective structure 111 is a thin-walled structure and is bonded and fixed to the front end of the upper 2. The front protective structure 111 has an overall U-shaped structure, extending from the toe of the upper 2 to both sides, with the middle part of the front protective structure 111 protruding.
[0033] The upper 2 includes a leather outer layer 21 and a mesh inner layer 22. The leather outer layer 21 is made of synthetic leather and has evenly distributed ventilation holes 211. The inner side of the leather outer layer 21 has a fabric lining 23, which is sewn to the leather outer layer 21. The leather outer layer 21 has several perforations 212, including side perforations 213 on both sides and a central perforation 214 in the middle. The midsole 12 has several interlocking seams 121. The portions of the leather outer layer 21 located between the side perforations 213 on both sides are inserted into the interlocking seams 121 of the midsole 12 and are bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the interlocking seams 121.
[0034] The outer surface of the leather outer layer 21 is sewn with several drawstrings 24. The drawstrings 24 are formed by sewing together double-layered woven tape, and a channel for threading the drawstrings is formed between the two layers of woven tape. The drawstrings 24 are distributed on both sides of the central notch 214, and each drawstring 24 is threaded with an elastic thread 25. The mesh outer layer is provided with a plastic part 26. The plastic part 26 has a hollow structure, and the two ends of the elastic thread 25 are inserted into the interior of the plastic part 26 and tied together to fix it.
[0035] The implementation principle of a beach shoe with an integrated front-end protective structure according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The midsole 12 of the beach shoe enables the sole 1 to meet the cushioning requirements of the shoe, and the outsole 11 enables the sole 1 to meet the wear resistance requirements. The front end of the outsole 11 extends upward to form a front-end protective structure 111, which wraps around the front part of the upper 2, maintaining a stable structural shape at the front of the shoe. Since the front-end protective structure 111 is formed by extending upward from the outsole 11, it has high strength, giving the front of the shoe a high level of protection. The front-end protective structure 111 is designed in a U-shape, providing a large-area reinforcement to the front of the upper 2. The protruding middle of the U-shape provides a large longitudinal protection range at the toe area. In this way, the front-end protective structure 111 can reduce the amount of material used while meeting the requirements of a large protection function, making the beach shoe as lightweight as possible.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Reference Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that an airbag interlayer 4 is provided between the front end of the shoe upper 2 and the front protective structure 111. The airbag interlayer 4 has an outer side wall and an inner side wall, wherein the outer side wall is close to the front protective structure 111 and the thickness of the outer side wall is less than the thickness of the inner side wall.
[0038] The airbag interlayer 4 includes a hot-pressed body 41, which is provided with a plurality of airbag bulges 42. The hot-pressed body 41 is simultaneously bonded and fixed to the front end of the shoe upper 2 and the front protective structure 111. The front end of the shoe upper 2 has a hollowed-out notch 212 and a front notch 215. The front notch 215 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the airbag bulges 42, and the airbag bulges 42 are located inside the front notch 215.
[0039] The airbag bulge 42 of the airbag interlayer 4 can play a cushioning role. The airbag bulge 42 is exposed from the front notch 215, making it easy for the airbag bulge 42 to play a cushioning role. The airbag interlayer 4 is bonded to the front end of the upper 2 and the front end protective structure 111 of the outsole 11 through the hot-pressed main body 41, which is beneficial to controlling the thickness of the front end of the shoe.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the sole 1 is provided with a plurality of sand-draining holes 13. The sand-draining holes 13 include an upper sand-draining hole 131 provided in the midsole 12 and a lower sand-draining hole 132 provided in the outsole 11. The upper sand-draining hole 131 and the lower sand-draining hole 132 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The center of the upper sand-draining hole 131 and the center of the corresponding lower sand-draining hole 132 are offset in the horizontal direction, and the upper sand-draining hole 131 and the lower sand-draining hole 132 are kept in communication.
[0042] The lower port of the lower row of sand holes 132 is smaller than the upper port. The upper port of the lower row of sand holes 132 is connected to the upper row of sand holes 131. The lower port of the lower row of sand holes 132 and the upper row of sand holes 131 are completely offset in the horizontal direction.
[0043] Sand particles entering the shoe can be discharged through the sand discharge hole 13, reducing the friction between the sand particles and the wearer's foot and the shoe material. The upper sand discharge hole 131 and the lower sand discharge hole 132 are staggered and connected to each other, which can reduce the reverse entry of sand into the shoe from the bottom up while meeting the sand discharge requirements.
[0044] 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.
