Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a footwear with side-draining waterproofing. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes are items worn on the feet to prevent injury, and include soles and uppers. The construction of shoe soles is quite complex. Generally, the common characteristics of shoe sole materials should include wear resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, impact resistance, good elasticity, easy adaptation to foot shape, resistance to deformation after shaping, heat retention, and easy absorption of moisture. At the same time, the sole pattern should also be combined with the shoe sole pattern to provide braking effect when changing feet to prevent slipping and easy stopping.

[0003] There are many types of materials used for shoe soles, which can be divided into natural and synthetic materials. Natural soles include natural leather, while synthetic soles include rubber, plastics, rubber-plastic composites, and recycled leather. However, during normal use, in addition to maintaining the waterproofness of the sole surface, water and mud can easily accumulate on the sides of the sole while walking. Poor water wicking performance on the sides of the sole affects the user's comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a shoe with side-guided waterproofing. By setting wavy patterns at intervals on the side of the sole to guide water or mud and sand to fall, the waterproof performance of the sole side is improved. The wavy patterns are sequentially concave inward or protruding outward, so that the overall cross-section of the guiding pattern is serrated. Due to its inclined surface, it can accelerate the speed at which water falls and enhance the waterproof performance.

[0006] This utility model provides a shoe with side-guided waterproofing, including a sole with a guide pattern on the side and an upper connected to the sole. The sole includes a forefoot, an arch area, and a heel. The guide pattern consists of several wave-shaped patterns arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The wave-shaped patterns are sequentially concave inward or protruding outward, so that the overall cross-section of the guide pattern is serrated. The forefoot, the arch area, and the heel are sequentially aligned with the peaks and valleys of the wave-shaped patterns.

[0007] The sole and upper combine to form the basic structure of the shoe. The drainage pattern on the side of the sole is designed to guide water or mud to fall quickly. The forefoot, arch area, and heel correspond to the peaks and valleys of this wave-shaped pattern. Since these three locations are the main stress points of the sole, the impact force is strong. When there is water residue, the water can fall quickly from the corresponding peaks and valleys. The serrated drainage pattern, due to its sloping surface, can also guide water to fall quickly, preventing water or mud from remaining on the side of the sole.

[0008] In some embodiments, a support rod is inclinedly provided in the arch area, the support rod is inclined towards the heel of the shoe and is recessed inward, and the support rod is connected to the bottom surface of the sole. Because the arch area needs to withstand greater pressure, a support rod perpendicular to the direction of force on the sole is provided to improve the arch area's support capacity. However, a vertical support rod reduces the compressibility of the sole. Therefore, the inclination of the vertical support rod is adjusted to tilt it backward, balancing support force and elasticity. Simultaneously, the recessed support rod, connected to the bottom surface of the sole, can guide accumulated water to the bottom surface of the sole and allow it to flow down.

[0009] In some embodiments, a waterproof zone is provided in a ring at the junction of the upper and the sole, and the waterproof zone is made of leather or suede. Common shoe soles in the prior art have a certain degree of waterproof performance due to their materials. To enhance the waterproof performance of the shoe upper in this application, a waterproof zone is provided in a ring at the junction of the upper and the sole to prevent water from seeping upwards.

[0010] In some embodiments, the upper has curved sections on both sides corresponding to the arch area, located between the laces and the waterproof area. These curved sections, corresponding to the arch area, enhance the upper's resistance to deformation at that location. In actual use, when users adjust the fit of the upper with the laces, the area corresponding to the arch is the most frequently used region. During repeated adjustments, the upper is prone to deformation; therefore, the curved sections enhance its resistance to deformation.

[0011] In some embodiments, a breathable mesh fabric is provided on the inner curved surface. This breathable mesh fabric enhances breathability while also possessing strong tensile strength, which assists in stretching the shoe upper and achieving deformation resistance. The specific material of the breathable mesh fabric is well known to those skilled in the art and can be referenced from existing technologies.

[0012] In some embodiments, the outer arcuate bend is provided with an outward protrusion. When the inner arcuate bend is used to realize the adjustment function, the outer arcuate bend needs to remain stable. Therefore, a thicker outward protrusion is provided to prevent deformation of the shoe upper, realize unilateral adjustment, and at the same time, the thicker outward protrusion can play a protective role to avoid impact injury.

[0013] In some embodiments, the sole surface includes an anti-slip zone and a drainage channel, with the anti-slip zone surrounding the drainage channel. The anti-slip zone and drainage channel work together to improve the waterproof and anti-slip performance of the sole.

[0014] In some embodiments, the anti-slip area comprises a plurality of evenly arranged reinforcing protrusions, with recesses at the joints between each pair of protrusions, and anti-slip grooves inclinedly arranged inside each protrusion. The alternating protrusions and recesses among the evenly arranged reinforcing protrusions enhance the grip and anti-slip performance of the shoe sole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the drainage channels are respectively provided on the forefoot and the heel, and the edges of the drainage channels are provided with annular grooves, and the drainage channels are provided with drainage patterns. While the annular grooves realize the drainage function, their annular structure has strong resistance to deformation, which can prevent the sole from breaking at this location and improve the durability of the sole.

[0016] In some embodiments, the heel of the sole is provided with an arc-shaped anti-slip pattern. The arc-shaped anti-slip pattern is similar in shape to a horseshoe, thereby improving the grip and stability of the sole and preventing the user from slipping backward.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention improves the waterproof performance of the shoe sole by setting wavy patterns at intervals on the side of the sole to guide water or mud and sand to fall. The wavy patterns are sequentially concave inward or protruding outward, so that the overall cross-section of the guiding pattern is serrated. Due to its inclined surface, it can speed up the falling of accumulated water and enhance the waterproof performance.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of one side of the shoe in some embodiments of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the other side of the shoe in some embodiments of this utility model.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a shoe with side-guided waterproofing, including a sole 1 with a guide pattern 3 on the side and an upper 2 connected to the sole 1. The sole 1 includes a forefoot 11, an arch area 12 and a heel 13. The guide pattern 3 is a number of wave-shaped patterns arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The wave-shaped patterns are sequentially concave inward or protruding outward, so that the overall cross-section of the guide pattern 3 is serrated. The forefoot 11, the arch area 12 and the heel 13 are sequentially corresponding to the peaks and valleys of the wave-shaped patterns.

[0046] The sole 1 and the upper 2 are combined to form the basic structure of the shoe. The guide pattern 3 set on the side of the sole 1 is used to guide water or mud to fall quickly. The forefoot 11, arch area 12 and heel 13 correspond to the peaks and valleys of the wave pattern. Since the above three positions are the main stress points of the sole 1, the impact force is strong. When there is water accumulation, the water can fall quickly from the corresponding peaks and valleys. The guide pattern 3 with a serrated cross section can also guide water to fall quickly due to its inclined surface, avoiding water or mud from remaining in the side of the sole 1.

[0047] A support rod 4 is inclinedly installed in the arch area 12. The support rod 4 is inclined towards the heel 13 and is recessed inward. The support rod 4 is connected to the bottom surface of the sole 1. Because the arch area 12 needs to withstand a large amount of pressure, a support rod 4 perpendicular to the force direction of the sole 1 is installed to improve the support capacity of the arch area 12. However, the vertical support rod 4 reduces the compressibility of the sole 1. Therefore, the inclination of the vertical support rod 4 is adjusted so that it tilts backward to balance the support force and elasticity. At the same time, the inwardly recessed support rod 4 is connected to the bottom surface of the sole 1, which can guide the accumulated water to the bottom surface of the sole 1 and let it flow down.

[0048] A waterproof zone 5 is provided in a ring at the junction of the upper 2 and the sole 1. The waterproof zone 5 is made of leather or suede. Common soles 1 in the prior art have a certain degree of waterproof performance due to their materials. To enhance the waterproof performance of the upper 2 of the shoe in this application, a waterproof zone 5 is provided in a ring at the junction of the upper 2 and the sole 1 to prevent water from seeping upwards.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the arc-shaped bend on the shoe upper in some embodiments of this utility model.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, optionally, arc-shaped bends 6 are provided on both sides of the upper 2 corresponding to the arch area 12, and the arc-shaped bends 6 are located between the shoelaces of the upper 2 and the waterproof area 5. The arc-shaped bends 6 correspond to the arch area 12, improving the deformation resistance of the upper 2 at this location. In actual use, when users adjust the looseness of the upper 2 with the shoelaces, the most frequently used part is the area corresponding to the arch. During repeated adjustments, the upper 2 is prone to deformation. Therefore, the arc-shaped bends 6 are provided to improve the deformation resistance.

[0051] A breathable mesh fabric is provided on the inner curved section 6. The breathable mesh fabric improves breathability and has strong tensile strength, which can assist the upper 2 in stretching and achieve deformation resistance. The specific material of the breathable mesh fabric is well known to those skilled in the art and can be referred to in the prior art.

[0052] The outer curved section 6 has an outward protrusion. When the inner curved section 6 is used for adjustment, the outer curved section 6 needs to remain stable. Therefore, a thicker outward protrusion is provided to prevent deformation of the shoe upper 2, enabling unilateral adjustment. At the same time, the thicker outward protrusion can also provide protection against impact injuries.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom surface structure of the shoe sole in some embodiments of this utility model.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the bottom surface of the shoe sole 1 includes an anti-slip area 7 and a drainage groove 8, with the anti-slip area 7 surrounding the drainage groove 8. The anti-slip area 7 and the drainage groove 8 cooperate with each other to improve the waterproof and anti-slip performance of the shoe sole 1.

[0055] The anti-slip zone 7 consists of several evenly arranged reinforcing protrusions, with recesses at the joints between each pair of protrusions. The interior of each protrusion is also provided with an anti-slip groove at an angle. The alternating protrusions and recesses between the evenly arranged protrusions enhance the grip and anti-slip performance of the sole 1.

[0056] The drainage channels 8 are respectively provided on the forefoot 11 and the heel 13. The edges of the drainage channels 8 are provided with annular grooves, and the drainage channels 8 are provided with drainage patterns. While the annular grooves realize the drainage function, their annular structure has strong resistance to deformation, which can prevent the sole 1 from breaking at this position and improve the durability of the sole 1.

[0057] The sole 1 has an arc-shaped anti-slip pattern 9 at the bottom. The arc-shaped anti-slip pattern 9 is similar in shape to a horseshoe, thereby improving the grip and stability of the sole 1 and preventing the user from slipping backward.
