[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a running shoe with an elastic spherical sole.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a running shoe with an elastic spherical sole, comprising an upper and a sole, wherein the sole comprises a midsole and an outsole, the outsole is disposed at the bottom of the midsole, the upper is connected to the top of the midsole, the midsole comprises a base and an elastic mechanism, the elastic mechanism is disposed at the heel of the base, the elastic mechanism comprises a base and an elastic support, the base has a V-shaped opening at the heel, and the elastic support is disposed within the V-shaped opening;

[0006] The elastic support includes two support plates, one end of which is connected to each other to form a whole, and there is an included angle between the two support plates. The two support plates are respectively attached and fixed to the two side walls of the V-shaped opening.

[0007] A plurality of elastic bodies are disposed between the two support plates, and each elastic body is connected to the two support plates.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a V-shaped opening is designed at the high heel of the midsole to provide deformation space. By filling the V-shaped opening with an elastic support, the midsole provides better elasticity at the high heel while having greater deformation space, effectively extending the impact time and giving the sole excellent rebound and shock absorption performance. The elastic support is integrally molded; in this design, the two support plates form a V-shape. When the two support plates are compressed, the unconnected ends will move closer together, deforming and generating a rebound force, thereby enhancing the elasticity of the heel and also providing cushioning. An elastomer further distributes the pressure on the elastic support, further improving rebound while reducing the strength requirements of the elastic support.

[0009] Preferably, mounting seats are provided at the connection points between the two support plates and the elastomer. This invention utilizes mounting seats to increase the contact area between the elastomer and the support plates, facilitating the fixed installation of the elastomer.

[0010] Preferably, the elastomer is cylindrical.

[0011] Preferably, the elastomer has a deformation hole at its center. This invention enhances the deformation capacity of the elastomer through the deformation hole.

[0012] Preferably, the V-shaped opening is surrounded by a sealing element. This invention uses the sealing element to seal the V-shaped opening, preventing mud, sand, and other contaminants from entering.

[0013] Preferably, the package has spherical protrusions. This invention utilizes spherical protrusions to enhance the package's elasticity.

[0014] Preferably, the shoe upper is provided with leaf vein-shaped raised stripes. This invention utilizes leaf vein-shaped raised stripes to enhance the shoe upper's resistance to deformation, while also improving its appearance.

[0015] Preferably, the shoe upper is provided with several breathable meshes. This invention utilizes breathability to make the shoe upper more aesthetically pleasing while simultaneously enhancing its breathability.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. A V-shaped opening at the high heel of the midsole provides deformation space at the heel. By filling the V-shaped opening with an elastic support, the midsole can provide better elasticity at the high heel and have a larger deformation space. The elastomer with deformation holes inside provides good elasticity and deformation ability, effectively prolonging the impact time, so that the sole has good rebound performance and shock absorption performance.

[0018] 2. The use of spherical protrusions to enhance the elasticity of the shoe upper, the use of leaf vein-like ridges to enhance the deformation resistance of the shoe upper and improve its appearance, and the use of breathable mesh to make the shoe upper more beautiful and improve its breathability.
