Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of casual footwear, and more particularly to a flexible casual footwear. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to address the issue of frequent bending in casual shoes, the industry primarily employs two common methods. One is to use relatively ordinary upper materials for the shoes, without any additional special treatment. This approach ensures normal production and basic wearing comfort to a certain extent, but it lacks specific design features for bending areas. The other method involves using highly elastic materials in these bending areas, leveraging the properties of elasticity to accommodate the shoe's bending motion during walking, thereby reducing deformation. These two methods have long been widely used in the footwear industry and represent conventional approaches to solving the bending problem in casual shoes.

[0003] However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks. Casual shoes made with ordinary upper materials without special treatment are prone to deformation at frequently bent areas after prolonged wear, greatly affecting the shoe's appearance. While using highly elastic materials in frequently bent areas can alleviate the deformation problem to some extent, it affects the wearer's walking comfort, failing to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of aesthetics and comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the impact of frequent bending on the aesthetics of the shoe upper while ensuring walking comfort, this application provides a bend-resistant casual shoe.

[0005] The present application provides a bend-resistant casual shoe with the following technical solution:

[0006] A flexible casual shoe includes an upper and a sole, the upper being connected to the sole; the upper is provided with multiple elastic strips, the multiple elastic strips being distributed on both sides of the upper; the elastic strips are arranged in a curved shape, and the protrusions of the elastic strips face towards the sole.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and sole form the main body of the casual shoe; elastic strips are set on both sides of the upper. When the casual shoe is bent, the elastic strips can buffer the bending force and reduce the deformation of the upper due to frequent bending. When the casual shoe is not in use, the upper gradually recovers its shape under the support of the elastic strips, improving the appearance of the upper; the elastic strips are curved and the protruding part faces the sole, which can better adapt to the bending method of the upper when the human body walks, ensuring the comfort of the wearer.

[0008] Optionally, the shoe upper is further provided with a limiting member, and a receiving cavity is formed between the limiting member and the shoe upper, the receiving cavity being used to receive the elastic strip.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and sole are connected, and multiple curved elastic strips with protruding parts facing the sole are set on both sides of the upper. This can reduce the impact of frequent bending on the aesthetics of the upper and ensure wearing comfort. On this basis, the upper is equipped with a limiting component that forms a cavity with the upper to accommodate the elastic strips. This can limit the elastic strips and prevent them from shifting, further improving the stability and durability of the bending-resistant casual shoe structure.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting member is sewn and fixed to the shoe upper.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and sole form the main body of the casual shoe. Multiple curved elastic strips with protruding parts facing the sole are set on both sides of the upper, which can play a cushioning role when walking, reduce the frequent bending and deformation of the upper, ensure the appearance, and at the same time, do not affect the walking comfort. The limiting component and the upper form a cavity to accommodate the elastic strips and prevent the elastic strips from shifting. The limiting component is sewn and fixed to the upper to ensure that the limiting component is firmly connected to the upper, so that the elastic strips are stably in the cavity and play their role.

[0012] Optionally, multiple limiting members are provided, and each of the multiple limiting members corresponds to one of the multiple elastic strips.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and sole are connected to form a casual shoe. The curved elastic strips with protrusions facing the sole on both sides of the upper can reduce the impact of frequent bending on the aesthetics of the upper. The limiting component forms a cavity with the upper to accommodate the elastic strip and can limit the elastic strip. Multiple limiting components correspond one-to-one with multiple elastic strips, which can accurately limit each elastic strip and improve the limiting effect.

[0014] Optionally, two limiting members are provided, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the shoe upper, and each limiting member forms multiple receiving cavities; each limiting member corresponds to multiple elastic strips on each side of the shoe upper.

[0015] Optionally, the elastic strip is detachably connected to the shoe upper.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, it is convenient to replace and maintain the elastic strip, and on the other hand, it is possible to choose whether to connect the elastic strip to the upper according to the actual needs of the user, thereby improving the flexibility of casual shoes.

[0017] Optionally, the shoe upper is fixed with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​members, each of which has a first snap-fit ​​groove for snapping the end of the elastic strip.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when connecting the elastic strip to the shoe upper, the end of the elastic strip can be snapped into the first snap groove of the first snap member. Thus, the snap-fit ​​between the first snap groove and the end of the elastic member is used to achieve a detachable connection between the elastic strip and the shoe upper. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0019] Optionally, the shoe upper is provided with a plurality of second snap-fit ​​members, each of which has a second snap-fit ​​groove for snapping the middle portion of the elastic strip.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a second snap-fit ​​component is added, and the elastic strip is detachably connected to the second snap-fit ​​component through the second snap-fit ​​groove, thereby improving the connection stability between the elastic strip and the shoe upper.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By setting elastic strips on both sides of the shoe upper, the elastic strips are set in a curved shape with the protruding part of the elastic strips facing the direction of the sole. This allows the elastic strips to accelerate the recovery of the shoe upper after deformation, increasing the flexural strength of the shoe upper and ensuring the comfort of the wearer when walking.

[0023] 2. By setting limiting components on the shoe upper, the connection between the elastic strip and the shoe upper is realized, and the elastic components are used to limit the elastic strip to ensure the stability of the connection between the elastic strip and the shoe upper;

[0024] 3. By making the elastic strip detachably connected to the shoe upper, it is easy to replace and clean the elastic strip, and also improves the flexibility of casual shoes. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a type of durable casual shoe.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1A type of durable casual shoe includes an upper 1 and a sole 2, wherein the upper 1 is connected to the sole 2, and the upper 1 and sole 2 are connected to form a complete shoe structure, providing the wearer with a wrap and support.

[0032] Specifically, the upper 1 is equipped with multiple elastic strips 3, which are distributed on both sides of the upper 1. The elastic strips 3 are arranged in a curved "U" shape, with the protruding parts of the elastic strips 3 facing towards the sole 2. This design allows the elastic strips 3 to better adapt to the bending motion during walking, providing cushioning and support. For example, when the foot steps forward and the sole 2 bends, the curved elastic strips 3 can increase their curvature accordingly, providing elastic support to the upper 1, dispersing the bending force, and reducing pressure concentration in specific areas of the upper 1. This reduces the likelihood of deformation at frequently bent areas of the upper 1 and allows the upper 1 to gradually recover its shape when the shoe is not in use, ensuring the shoe's aesthetics. Simultaneously, because the protruding parts of the elastic strips 3 face the sole 2, the bending parts of the elastic strips 3 experience less force when the upper 1 bends, thus minimizing the impact on the overall softness and comfort of the shoe, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience for the wearer.

[0033] The elastic strip 3 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber strips or spring steel strips. Rubber strips are soft, have good flexibility and elasticity, can adapt well to the bending of the shoe upper 1, and are lightweight, so they will not add too much burden to the wearer; spring steel strips have a high elastic modulus, which can provide strong elastic recovery force and effectively resist bending deformation.

[0034] The upper 1 is also provided with a limiting member 4, which forms a receiving cavity 41 with the upper 1. The receiving cavity 41 is used to accommodate the elastic strip 3. The limiting member 4 can be a strip of cloth or a strip of leather. The cloth strip is soft, fits the upper 1 well, and is easy to sew; the leather strip is more durable and can provide a more stable limiting effect for the elastic strip 3. The limiting member 4 is sewn and fixed to the upper 1 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the limiting member 4 and the upper 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple limiting members 4 are provided, and each limiting member 4 corresponds to a multiple elastic strip 3. Each limiting member 4 can accurately limit the corresponding elastic strip 3, ensuring that the elastic strip 3 maintains a stable position in the receiving cavity 41 and fully exerts its elastic function.

[0036] In other embodiments, two limiting members 4 may be provided, with the two limiting members 4 respectively disposed on both sides of the shoe upper 1, and each limiting member 4 forming multiple receiving cavities 41; each limiting member 4 corresponds to multiple elastic strips 3 on each side of the shoe upper 1. The limiting member 4 can be a one-piece molded elongated component, such as a long strip limiting member 4 made of plastic injection molding, which has a certain strength and toughness and can simultaneously limit multiple elastic strips 3. This arrangement simplifies the structure, reduces the amount of sewing work, and improves production efficiency. Moreover, the one-piece molded limiting member 4 performs better in terms of stability and can more evenly distribute the limiting force on the elastic strips 3, ensuring the synergistic effect of multiple elastic strips 3 during operation.

[0037] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: By setting curved elastic strips 3 on both sides of the shoe upper 1 and using limiting members 4 to fix the elastic strips 3 in appropriate positions, the elastic strips 3 can effectively buffer and disperse bending forces during walking, reducing deformation at frequently bending points of the shoe upper 1 and ensuring the aesthetics of the shoe. At the same time, this design does not affect the softness and comfort of the shoe, achieving a good balance between aesthetics and comfort. Compared to the problems of easily deformable ordinary shoe upper materials and the impact of elastic materials on comfort in existing technologies, this represents a significant improvement.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that no limiting component is provided in this embodiment. The elastic strip 3 is detachably connected to the upper 1 to facilitate replacement and maintenance of the elastic strip 3. Specifically, the upper 1 is fixed with multiple first snap-fit ​​pieces 5, which can be plastic buckles or metal slots. Plastic buckles are lightweight, low-cost, and easy to install and remove; metal slots are more robust and durable. The first snap-fit ​​piece 5 has a first snap-fit ​​groove 61 for snapping the end of the elastic strip 3. The upper 1 is also provided with multiple second snap-fit ​​pieces 7, which can also be plastic buckles or metal slots. The second snap-fit ​​piece 7 has a second snap-fit ​​groove 71 for snapping the middle part of the elastic strip 3. Through the first snap-fit ​​pieces 5 and the second snap-fit ​​pieces 7, the elastic strip 3 can be securely connected to the upper 1, and when the elastic strip 3 is damaged or needs to be replaced with an elastic strip 3 with different elastic properties, it can be easily and quickly disassembled and installed.

[0040] 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.
