Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage shoe technology, and in particular to precision foot massage shoes. Background Technology

[0002] Foot massage shoes, as a convenient physiotherapy and health care tool, have long been favored by consumers. Their basic principle involves integrating a specific shape of raised structures on the inner surface of the sole. When the user walks or stands, these raised structures apply pressure to different areas of the sole, simulating traditional massage techniques to stimulate reflex zones and acupoints on the sole. This aims to promote local blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, and improve bodily functions, thereby achieving the goals of relaxation and health management.

[0003] However, the design of existing mainstream massage shoes has a significant technical limitation: their massage structures (mostly regularly or semi-regularly arranged bumps, granules, or wavy patterns) primarily act on relatively flat and weight-bearing areas of the sole, such as the heel, forefoot, and metatarsal balls. For key "suspended" or "gap" areas of the foot—especially the arch that maintains the foot's normal biomechanical structure, and the toe gaps that support fine sensory perception and grasping functions—the massage effect is often superficial or even completely absent, affecting the depth of the experience and the breadth of health benefits.

[0004] To address this, the present invention provides a precision foot massage shoe with active filling at the arch and toe gaps, effectively addressing the issue of three-dimensional adaptation to the three-dimensional curved surface of the foot, allowing as many acupoints on the foot as possible, especially those in the suture gaps, to receive more powerful massage stimulation, thereby improving the effectiveness of the massage shoe. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a precision foot massage shoe.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The arch support has a massage head, and the toe support has toe gap grooves corresponding to the five toes. The toe gap grooves have massage heads. The inner surface of the sole also has at least 19 irregular protrusions based on acupoints on the sole of the foot. The inner layer of the upper has at least 10 irregular protrusions based on acupoints on the top of the foot.

[0008] Preferably, the sole, arch support, toe support, massage head one, massage head two, and irregular protrusions on the sole are integrally molded.

[0009] Preferably, the sole, massage head one, massage head two, and irregular protrusions can be made of any one of ultra-soft silicone, soft silicone, or hard silicone.

[0028] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-9 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Example 1: In order to provide effective support and powerful massage stimulation to the unsupported areas of the foot, such as the arch and the spaces between the toes, this example provides a precision foot massage shoe, including a sole 1 and an upper 2. The inner surface of the sole 1 has an arch support 3 at the arch and a toe support 4 at the spaces between the toes. The arch support 3 has a massage head 5, and the toe support 4 has a groove corresponding to the five toes. The groove contains a massage head 6. The inner surface of the sole 1 also has at least 19 irregular protrusions based on the acupoints on the sole of the foot. The inner layer of the upper 2 has at least 10 irregular protrusions based on the acupoints on the instep.

[0030] Principle details of this embodiment:

[0031] A precision foot massage shoe includes a sole 1 and an upper 2.

[0032] The inner surface of the sole 1 has an arch support 3 located at the arch of the foot. The arch support 3 is an arc-shaped protrusion that mimics the shape of the human foot arch. The closer to the center of the arch, the higher the protrusion, meaning the height gradually increases from both sides towards the center of the arch. The arch support 3 supports the arch of the foot, providing effective support. The arch support 3 is equipped with massage heads 5, which, when the arch support 3 is in place, can provide effective stimulation to these acupoints.

[0033] The inner surface of the sole 1 has a toe support 4 located at the toe gaps. The toe support 4 has five toe grooves of varying widths, corresponding to the five toes, designed to support the overhanging spaces between the toes and provide ample support. The edges, contact surfaces, and ends of the toe grooves are rounded, creating an flared shape that allows for smoother toe insertion while preventing injury, resulting in greater comfort. Massage heads 6 are located within the toe grooves, which, along with the toe support 4, fill the gaps between the toes.

[0034] The inner surface of sole 1 is also designed with at least 19 irregular protrusions based on acupoints on the sole of the foot. All massage points on sole 1 are numbered 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, ..., 1-23. Among them, 1-9, 1-11, 1-12, 1-13, and 1-14 are massage head 2 (6); 1-19, 1-20, and 1-21 are massage head 1 (5). The numbering positions correspond to the attached... Figure 8 Acupoints in the middle.

[0035] 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 correspond to the frontal sinus reflex area.

[0036] Numbers 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, 1-10, 1-11, 1-12, 1-13, and 1-14 correspond to the cerebellum, brainstem, eyes, ears, and the areas between the toes.

[0037] The inner layer of the shoe upper has at least 10 irregular protrusions based on the acupoints on the human foot, numbered 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, ..., 2-9, 2-10.

[0038] 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 are made of soft silicone and are long strips that correspond to the reflex zones of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine, respectively. They can massage the gaps between bones while walking.

[0039] Models 2-11, 2-12, and 2-13 are made of soft silicone and are blunt triangles to meet the massage needs of the shoulders, elbows, and knees.

[0040] 2-14 Made of thickened soft silicone to meet the pressure requirements of the reproductive area; soft texture allows for prolonged use.

[0041] Based on the above technical solution:

[0042] By incorporating irregular protrusions corresponding to sensitive points or areas of organs within the sole 1 and upper 2 of the massage shoes, along with massage heads 5 and 6, the feet are continuously contacted and compressed by the irregular protrusions when the person wears the shoes and walks. This is achieved through the use of gravity, particularly at the main support points on the sole, which are fully stimulated. This provides a massage effect without external force and can be performed anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, unlike traditional massage shoes, this design specifically includes an arch support 3 and a toe support 4 at the arch and toe gaps, respectively supporting the arch and toe gaps. This ensures the sole is fully compressed and in contact with the acupoints in these areas, providing stable pressure and effective massage stimulation, thus enhancing the massage efficacy of the shoes.

[0043] In this embodiment, the massage shoes are available in various sizes, such as 38 to 44, and of course, other sizes, so that people can choose according to their foot size.

[0044] In Example 2, a further embodiment of this solution, many existing patents describe massage shoes where the massage heads or massage areas are designed to be detachable, such as through slotted mounting, adhesive, Velcro fastening, or as replaceable insoles. While this design allows for easy replacement of the massage head according to user needs, it's important to understand that detachable installation implies unstable mounting. During walking, the massage area bears the weight of the body, and the feet experience significant stress. A detachable massage area is prone to misalignment and displacement, potentially leading to displacement or even deformation.

[0045] Therefore, in this embodiment, the sole 1, arch support 3, toe support 4, massage head one 5, massage head two 6, and irregular protrusions on the sole 1 are integrally molded. This ensures that the massage points are integrated with the sole 1, and the massage points are solidified, preventing misalignment and ensuring that the massage points always align with the acupoints. Because the shape of the massage points varies depending on the location, a slotted design is not as accurate as a one-time molding process.

[0046] Example 3, a further embodiment of this solution, in order to match people with different pressure sensations, such as some people prefer strong stimulation while others accept light pressure massage stimulation, the massage shoes are designed to improve adaptability and allow people to choose according to their needs. In this embodiment, the massage head 5, massage head 6, and irregular protrusions can be made of any one of ultra-soft silicone, soft silicone, or hard silicone.

[0047] Ultra-soft silicone: such as grade 5 silicone, with a low hardness value, it has a soft and comfortable feel. When used as an arch support and toe support, ultra-soft silicone is gently compressed to provide stable and even support, allowing the toes to bend and deform easily, embedding themselves deep into the gaps between the toes without being felt. However, it has limited support for the foot and is prone to deformation and concavity under pressure, resulting in relatively low massage pressure from the corresponding massage heads, producing a gentle and continuous "soft massage" stimulation.

[0048] Soft silicone: such as 10 / 15 degree silicone, with moderate hardness, good resilience, not easily deformed, and able to maintain shape stability under long-term use. When used as an arch support and toe support, it provides relatively high support for the foot and is more prone to deformation and concavity under pressure, thus resulting in relatively greater massage pressure from the corresponding massage head and higher massage stimulation.

[0049] Hard silicone: such as 20 / 25 degree silicone, has higher hardness, stronger structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Compared with soft silicone, hard silicone is also easier to mold and demold. When used as an arch support and toe support, it provides stable support for the foot, thereby making the massage pressure of the corresponding massage head more stable and greater, resulting in higher massage stimulation.

[0050] Users can choose massage shoes with different levels of firmness based on their own stress tolerance.

[0051] The sole 1 can also be fitted with an outsole, or even a midsole, as a ground contact layer to improve wear resistance and comfort.

[0052] In Example 4, a further embodiment of this solution, massage shoes of the same size can also be produced in batches, so that the hardness of the massage head 5, massage head 6, and irregular protrusions varies in each batch. This allows users of the same size to choose according to their pressure requirements.

[0053] Preferably, the massage heads 5, 6, and irregular protrusions of the same massage shoe have different hardness. For example, the hardness of the irregular protrusions is greater than that of massage head 5, which is greater than that of massage head 6. Massage head 6 is softer, reducing the intensity of stimulation between the toes to avoid chafing or discomfort caused by stimulation at the same level.

[0054] In Example 5, a further embodiment of this solution, the shoe upper 2 has multiple perforations 7 located at acupoints on different reflex zones of the foot, and movable massage heads 8 are detachably installed inside the perforations 7. These acupoints are not needed by everyone; some are for weight loss and appetite reduction, some for liver regulation and mood swings, and some for blood sugar stabilization. Users can decide whether to install these acupoints based on their different needs over a period of time. These locations on the foot are subject to less stress and are less prone to deformation.

[0055] In this embodiment, the movable massage head 8 is provided with a stud 9. The movable massage head 8 passes through the perforation 7 from the inside of the shoe, and then the self-locking nut 10 is screwed onto the stud 9 to lock the stud 9, thereby fixing the movable massage head 8. Moreover, the threaded engagement between the self-locking nut 10 and the stud 9 has self-locking properties and will not easily slip off. Preferably, an aluminum sleeve similar to that in a shoelace hole is provided in the perforation 7 as an auxiliary part for inserting the stud 9. When the movable bolt is not installed, these perforations 7 can serve as air holes for ventilation.

[0056] In this embodiment, a rubber column can also be provided on the movable massage head 8. The rubber column has a flared cone, which can be inserted into the aluminum sleeve to achieve detachable installation.

[0057] In this embodiment, the upper 2 can be made of an elastic material, such as TPU, which stands for thermoplastic polyurethane. This material combines elasticity and toughness, allowing the upper 2 to maintain its shape while adapting to foot movements. The elastic material also allows the movable massage head 8 to rest against the instep, ensuring the stability of the massage force.

[0058] In this embodiment, the upper 2 can be any of the following: lace-up, adhesive buckle, or slip-on. The attached figure shows the lace-up type.
