[0002] The birth of Crocs stemmed from the combination of an innovative material technology and a specific scenario requirement. Using closed-cell resin material, they are lightweight, waterproof, odor-resistant, and have excellent cushioning performance. Initially, these shoes were designed for boating and outdoor enthusiasts to meet their urgent need for footwear that could dry quickly in wet environments, was non-slip, provided a comfortable feel, and was easy to put on and take off. Therefore, Crocs were created to fill the market gap of specific functional footwear that could easily switch between land and water while ensuring ultimate lightweight comfort.

[0003] Existing Crocs utilize closed-cell resin materials to effectively absorb the impact of the foot hitting the ground during walking. This thermoplastic material also softens slightly with body temperature during wear, gradually conforming to the user's foot contours for personalized fit and support. The perforated design creates a convection ventilation system, allowing air and water to freely enter and exit, removing moisture and heat to keep feet dry. The wide footbed and adjustable heel strap ensure comfortable foot space and stability while walking.

[0004] However, existing Crocs are prone to ankle sprains when the wearer loses balance during exercise, as they cannot simultaneously protect both the toes and ankles, thus failing to provide adequate protection for the wearer's feet. Therefore, protective Crocs have been proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a protective clog, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology cannot simultaneously protect the toes and ankles, thus making it difficult to provide good protection for the wearer's feet.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a protective perforated shoe, including a sole 1 that provides stable support and cushioning protection for the foot. An upper 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the sole 1, providing stable protection for the foot. The top of the upper 2 has at least one ventilation hole 3, forming a convection ventilation system that allows air and water to freely enter and exit, removing moisture and heat to keep the foot dry and making the protection of the foot more stable. A protective pad 4, made of a hard material, is fixedly connected to the surface of the upper 2 to provide stable protection for the toes. A connecting strip 5 is provided inside the upper 2. Strip 5 provides a stable installation space, providing a stable foundation for the airbag 9 to protect the ankle. First connecting grooves 6 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the left side wall of strip 5, providing installation space and guidance for the protrusion 11. A second connecting groove 7 is provided in the middle of the left side wall of strip 5, providing installation space and guidance for the magnetic strip 12. Both the upper and lower ends of strip 5 are fixedly connected to rough surfaces 8, providing a stable connection foundation for the airbag 9. The airbag 9 is slidably connected to the surface of strip 5, encircling the ankle and filling the gap between the shoe upper 2 and the ankle, providing stable ankle protection. Two hook surfaces 10 are relatively fixedly connected inside the airbag 9. The airbag 9 can be stably and synchronously connected to the hook surface 10. Protrusions 11 are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the right side wall of the airbag 9, and a magnetic strip 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side wall of the airbag 9. The airbag 9 can drive the protrusions 11 and the magnetic strip 12 to connect synchronously. The protrusions 11 and the magnetic strip 12 make the connection of the airbag 9 more stable. The protective pad 4 has an arc-shaped structure, allowing it to better fit the shoe upper 2. Protective protrusions are provided on the surface of the protective pad 4, which can protect the pad 4 during exercise and extend its service life. The protrusions 11 have a T-shaped structure and are slidably connected inside the first connecting groove 6. The T-shaped structure of the protrusions 11 is connected to the first connecting groove 6. The groove 6 connects to prevent the lateral pulling force of the protrusion 11. The hook surface 10 and the rough surface 8 are bonded to each other. The bonding between the hook surface 10 and the rough surface 8 further reinforces the airbag 9 and prevents the airbag 9 from sliding. An inflation nozzle is provided on the right side wall of the airbag 9 to provide inflation guidance for the airbag 9. The airbag 9 has a rounded corner structure, which can protect the ankle area and prevent the airbag 9 from rubbing against the ankle, making it more comfortable to wear. The magnetic strip 12 is slidably connected inside the second connecting groove 7. The magnetic strip 12 and the connecting strip 5 are magnetically attracted to each other. The magnetic connection makes the connection between the magnetic strip 12 and the connecting strip 5 more stable, thereby making the airbag 9 more stable in the shoe upper 2 and ensuring the stability of the ankle protection.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the protective pad 4 at the toe has an arc-shaped structure and protective raised strips on its surface. When the toe is impacted by external force, its own structure disperses the impact force, protecting the toe. The upper 2 and the ankle-fitting structure, together with the connecting strip 5 and the airbag 9, fill the gap between the ankle and the upper 2, providing stable protection for the ankle and providing stable support from the inside, reducing the risk of ankle sprains. When the airbag 9 is removed, pull the hook surface 10 area of ​​the airbag 9 so that the hook surface 10 and the napped surface 8 are connected. Separate the magnetic strip 12 and the connecting strip 5, then overcome the magnetic attraction between them and pull the protrusion 11 out along the first connecting groove 6. This allows the airbag 9 to be removed from the inside of the upper 2. Then, inflate the airbag 9 through its inflation nozzle to replenish the air inside. Next, align the protrusion 11 with the first connecting groove 6 and the magnetic strip 12 with the second connecting groove 7 to push the airbag 9 and the connecting strip 5 together. After the airbag 9 is installed in place, press the hook surface 10 area of ​​the airbag 9 to make the nap 8 and the hook surface 10 stick together.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
