Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improved invention of safety shoes, and more particularly to an improved invention of a casual safety shoe. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional safety shoes typically use soft materials (such as ordinary leather or fabric) in the heel counter, lacking rigid support. When putting them on, users need to push forcefully, and the heel can easily get stuck in the soft, collapsed part of the heel counter, making the process laborious and time-consuming, especially inefficient when frequently putting on and taking off shoes at work. Furthermore, the core requirement of safety shoes is foot protection, but current technology often results in weak support in the heel counter area. With prolonged use, the heel counter is prone to deformation or collapse, failing to effectively secure the heel and affecting walking stability and safety. Some safety shoes emphasize protection but neglect ventilation; the heel counter area is tightly sealed but lacks effective breathability, easily accumulating sweat and causing odor or skin discomfort, especially in high-temperature environments. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a convenient safety shoe.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This type of easy-to-wear safety shoe includes a sole and an upper, wherein the upper includes a heel counter that wraps around and fixes the heel. The heel counter has a built-in rigid support piece, which includes an integrally formed left piece, a rear piece, and a right piece. The support piece has an arc-shaped curved surface that gradually widens from top to bottom and is adapted to the contour of the heel. The bottom end of the support piece is flush with the bottom end of the heel counter, and the top end of the support piece is lower than the top end of the heel counter. Furthermore, the top end of the support piece is configured as a backward-curving guide surface.
[0005] Positioning lines are sewn onto the back side corresponding to the outer contour of the support piece.
[0006] The support plate is provided with several ventilation holes.
[0007] The support sheet is made of rigid TPU or high-density EVA material.
[0008] The safety shoe also includes laces with a knob-type tightener located on the outer side of the shoe upper.
[0009] A lifting rope is connected to the upper outer surface of the rear side, and the lifting rope is located above the support plate.
[0010] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the improved easy-to-wear safety shoe has a built-in hard support plate in the heel counter to support the heel counter. The top of the support plate has a backward-curved guide surface design that matches the contour of the heel to form a smooth guide channel. When the user puts on the shoe, the heel naturally slides in along the guide surface, reducing friction resistance and avoiding the problem of foot suffocation caused by the traditional soft and collapsed heel counter. Attached Figure Description
[0011] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0012] Fig. 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.
[0013] Fig. 2 This is a structural diagram of the shoe upper of this utility model.
[0014] Fig. 3 This is a structural diagram of the support sheet of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The accompanying drawings illustrate the structure of this utility model, and further details will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, see the attached drawings. Figs. 1-3 This casual safety shoe includes a sole 1 and an upper 2. The upper 2 includes a heel counter 3 that wraps around and secures the heel. The heel counter 3 has a built-in rigid support plate 4. The support plate 4 includes a one-piece molded left plate 41, a rear plate 42, and a right plate. Preferably, the left plate 41 and the right plate are both half the height of the rear plate 42 and are connected by an arc transition. The corresponding support plate 4 has an arc-shaped curved surface that gradually widens from top to bottom and adapts to the contour of the heel, perfectly conforming to the physiological curve of the heel to ensure that the heel counter 3 maintains rigidity. To prevent deformation and enhance stability during walking or work, the bottom of the support plate 4 is flush with the bottom of the heel counter 3, providing a basic fit and reducing the risk of ankle sprains. The top of the support plate 4 is lower than the top of the heel counter 3 to prevent hard objects from rubbing against the ankle, thus improving the overall protection level. The top of the support plate 4 is set as a backward-curving guide surface 5, which, in conjunction with the heel contour, forms a smooth guide channel. When the user puts on the shoes, the heel naturally slides in along the guide surface, reducing frictional resistance and avoiding the problem of foot suffocation caused by the traditional soft heel counter 3, allowing for slip-on shoe-wearing.
[0016] As a further improved specific implementation, a positioning line 9 is sewn on the back side 3 corresponding to the outer contour of the support piece 4. The positioning line 9 is sewn along the outer contour of the support piece 4 to limit the support piece 4 and prevent displacement.
[0017] As a further improvement, the support piece 4 is provided with several ventilation holes to form a ventilation network in the back panel 3 area, which promotes air circulation, quickly removes sweat and heat, reduces stuffiness and odor, and is suitable for long-term wear.
[0018] As a further improved implementation, the support sheet 4 is made of rigid TPU or high-density EVA material, which forms good support and provides high elasticity and impact resistance, extending service life.
[0019] As a further improved embodiment, the safety shoe also includes a lace-up 6, which is equipped with a knob-type tightener 7. The knob-type tightener 7 is located on the outer side of the shoe upper 2 to improve the convenience of lacing.
[0020] As a further improved implementation, a lifting rope 8 is connected to the upper outer surface of the rear support 3. The lifting rope 8 is located above the support plate 4, providing additional leverage to help the user easily step in, which is especially suitable for scenarios where the hands are inconvenient (such as wearing gloves).
[0021] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
