[0022] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0024] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0025] An embodiment of this utility model provides an integrated woven shoe upper with side stitching and heel, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shoe includes a toe cap 100, a first shoe body 210, a second shoe body 220, a tongue 300, and a heel 400. The toe cap 100 is located at the front of the shoe. The first shoe body 210 and the second shoe body 220 are mainly located on the sides of the foot. The tongue 300 is typically placed under the shoe body, providing protection and enhancing comfort. The heel 400 is located at the heel of the shoe, connecting the two shoe bodies. The first shoe body 210 and the second shoe body 220 are located on either side below the toe cap 100. The tongue 300 is located in the middle below the toe cap 100. One side of the heel 400 connects to the lower end of the first shoe body 210, while the other side of the heel 400 remains unattached. The toe cap 100, first shoe body 210, second shoe body 220, tongue 300, and heel 400 are integrally woven, specifically using a horizontal knitting machine. Instead of weaving the toe (100), first shoe body (210), second shoe body (220), tongue (300), and heel (400) separately and then splicing them together, the weaving process is simplified and production efficiency is improved.
[0026] Meanwhile, since the other side of the heel 400 is left unattached, during subsequent processing, the side of the heel 400 left unattached is spliced with the lower end of the second shoe body 220. The specific splicing length can be determined according to actual needs, so the length of the entire shoe upper can be finely adjusted to fit different shoe sizes, making it more widely applicable.
[0027] In some embodiments, the toe 100 includes a breathable area 110, which is provided with a plurality of breathable mesh holes 140. The breathable mesh holes 140 can be densely distributed in the breathable area 110, thereby increasing the breathability of the toe 100 and improving the user's comfort.
[0028] Furthermore, the shoe upper typically comprises two layers: an upper layer and an underlayer. In this embodiment, the upper layer yarn 120 and the underlayer yarn 130 of the breathable area 110 can be interwoven together, and the interwoven yarns are woven in a diamond pattern to form multiple breathable mesh holes 140. Thus, the breathable mesh holes 140 are also integrally formed during the weaving process of the toe 100 through the weaving process, without the need for laser cutting, drilling, or other processes, thereby further simplifying the weaving process and improving production efficiency.
[0029] In some embodiments, the inner sides of the first shoe body 210 and the second shoe body 220 that are close to each other are provided with elastic first edging 230. Because the first edging 230 is elastic, it can stretch and contract, widening the shoe opening during the user's wearing process, making it easier for the user to put on the shoes. After the user puts on the shoes, the first shoe body 210 and the second shoe body 220 can fit snugly against the user's foot to increase comfort.
[0030] Furthermore, the heel 400 is provided with an elastic second edge 410 connected to the first edge 230 of the first shoe body 210 on the side near the second shoe body 220. Since the side of the heel 400 near the second shoe body 220 will form the shoe opening, the first edge 230 and the second edge 410 are together arranged around the shoe opening to increase the elasticity of the shoe opening.
[0031] The second edge 410 can be integrally formed with the first edge 230 of the first shoe body 210. Specifically, when weaving the first edge 230 and the second edge 410, elastic yarn can be added to make the first edge 230 and the second edge 410 elastic.
[0032] In some embodiments, the first perimeter 230 is provided with a plurality of shoelace holes 231, allowing shoelaces to pass through the shoelace holes 231. The shoelace holes 231 can be formed by a non-woven method, so that the shoelace holes 231 are integrally formed when the first perimeter 230 is woven.
[0033] In some embodiments, the tongue 300 is provided with a plurality of breathable micropores, which can increase the breathability of the tongue 300 to improve user comfort.
[0034] In some embodiments, the surface of the shoe tongue 300 is provided with a shoelace buckle 310 through which shoelaces can pass. The shoelace buckle 310 may be in the shape of a strip, with both ends connected to the shoe tongue 300 so that shoelaces can pass through. After the shoelaces pass through the shoelace buckle 310, they can position the shoe tongue 300 and restrict the left and right movement of the shoe tongue 300.
[0035] In some embodiments, a thickening layer 420 is provided in the middle of the heel 400 to increase the thickness of the middle of the heel 400, making the upper more durable.
[0036] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
