The sole includes an outsole and a midsole foam disposed between the outsole and the upper. The outsole includes a dynamically cross-linked elastomer and the midsole foam includes a first thermoplastic elastomer. That is, the elasticity of the sole is improved by changing the material of the sole. However, the production cost is high and the durability is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sports shoe that improves the elasticity of existing sports shoes by changing the material of the sole, but has high production costs and poor durability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An athletic shoe includes a sole and an upper fixed to the sole, the sole including a midsole and an outsole, the outsole being fitted onto the bottom surface of the midsole, and the upper being attached to the midsole;

[0007] Both sides of the midsole are provided with an inset groove and an inwardly recessed elastic groove. The inset groove corresponds to the position of the heel side. The elastic groove extends from the front end of the midsole to the front end of the inset groove. An elastic support member is provided in the inset groove. The outer middle of the elastic support member is provided with an indentation. The indentation extends from the front end of the elastic support member to the rear end and is in the same direction as the extension of the elastic groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic support member has multiple elastic holes, which are distributed on the inner upper side and inner lower side of the concave portion, and the elastic holes extend inward into the interior of the elastic support member.

[0009] Furthermore, the extension direction of the elastic hole is opposite to the extension direction of the side surface of the recess.

[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the outsole has upwardly extending positioning protrusions on both sides, the positioning protrusions extend to both sides of the midsole, the bottom of the front end of the midsole has positioning grooves, and the positioning protrusions are embedded in the positioning grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the outsole is provided with a front abrasion-resistant protrusion group and a rear abrasion-resistant protrusion group. The front abrasion-resistant protrusion group corresponds to the position of the forefoot, and the rear abrasion-resistant protrusion group corresponds to the position of the arch and heel.

[0012] Furthermore, the front wear-resistant protrusion group includes a front protrusion and a middle protrusion, which are located at the front end of the bottom of the outsole and the front end of the rear wear-resistant protrusion group, respectively.

[0013] The front wear-resistant protrusion group also includes multiple sets of main protrusions and side protrusions arranged sequentially between the front protrusion and the middle protrusion. One set of the main protrusions and side protrusions are located on the same straight line and are arranged sequentially in the width direction of the outsole. The side protrusions correspond to the position of the big toe side of the forefoot.

[0014] Furthermore, the front protrusion, main protrusion, side protrusion and middle protrusion are all provided with front anti-slip grooves, and the extension direction of the front anti-slip grooves is the same as the extension direction of the front protrusion, main protrusion, side protrusion and middle protrusion respectively.

[0015] The anti-slip groove is connected to an extension groove, which extends to the front and rear sides of the anti-slip groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the rear abrasion-resistant protrusion assembly includes a rear protrusion and side protrusions disposed at both ends of the rear protrusion. The rear protrusion corresponds to the rear end position of the heel, and the side protrusions correspond to the side positions of the arch and the heel.

[0017] Furthermore, both the side protrusion and the rear protrusion are provided with a rear anti-slip groove, and the extension direction of the rear anti-slip groove is the same as the extension direction of the side protrusion and the rear protrusion, respectively.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the outsole is provided with an arch groove and a heel groove, which are located between the side protrusions and correspond to the positions of the arch and heel, respectively.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] 1. The elastic groove is located on the front side of the midsole, corresponding to the side of the forefoot. When the forefoot exerts force, the outer side of the midsole applies downward pressure to the elastic groove. The upper and lower parts of the elastic groove move closer together and compress, using their own elasticity to apply a rebound force to the foot, improving the elasticity of the athletic shoe. Furthermore, the elastic support component embedded in the groove has a concave part that makes it "V" shaped. When the heel exerts force, the concave part is compressed, and its "V" shaped structure provides an upward rebound force to the heel, further improving the elasticity of the athletic shoe. This avoids the need for material replacement, reduces production costs, and improves the durability of the athletic shoe.

[0021] 2. Elastic support components are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the heel, providing support to both sides of the heel simultaneously, ensuring that the force on the heel is vertically upward, and improving the overall stability of the sports shoe. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a sports shoe, including a sole and an upper 3 fixed to the sole. The sole includes a midsole 1 and an outsole 2. The outsole 2 is fitted onto the bottom surface of the midsole 1, and the upper 3 is connected to the midsole 1. The midsole 1 has recessed grooves 12 and inwardly recessed elastic grooves 11 on both sides. The recessed grooves 12 correspond to the heel side, and the elastic grooves 11 extend from the front end of the midsole 1 to the front end of the recessed grooves 12. An elastic support member 13 is provided within the recessed groove 12. An inwardly recessed portion 131 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the elastic support member 13, extending from the front end to the rear end of the elastic support member 13 and in the same direction as the extension of the elastic groove 11.

[0035] The elastic groove 11 is located on the front side of the midsole 1, corresponding to the side of the forefoot. During the force exertion of the forefoot, the outer side of the midsole 1 applies downward pressure to the elastic groove 11, causing the upper and lower parts of the elastic groove 11 to compress each other and apply a rebound force to the foot using its own elasticity, thereby improving the elasticity of the athletic shoe. Furthermore, the elastic support member 13 is embedded in the inner groove 12. The concave part 131 of the elastic support member 13 makes the elastic support member 13 form a "V" shape. During the force exertion of the heel, the concave part 131 is compressed and provides an upward rebound force to the heel through its own "V" shape structure, further improving the elasticity of the athletic shoe, avoiding the need for material replacement, reducing production costs and improving the durability of the athletic shoe.

[0036] Meanwhile, the elastic support components 13 are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the heel, providing support to both sides of the heel simultaneously, ensuring that the force on the heel is vertically upward, and improving the overall stability of the sports shoe.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic support member 13 has multiple elastic holes 132, which are distributed on the inner upper side 133 and inner lower side 134 of the concave portion 131. The elastic holes 132 extend inward into the interior of the elastic support member 13. The elastic holes 132 extend inward, but the elastic force does not penetrate the elastic support member 13. While ensuring good structural strength, this effectively reduces the overall stiffness of the elastic support member 13, maximizing compression during heel strikes and further increasing the support force applied to the foot. Simultaneously, during each compression of the elastic support member 13, the elastic holes 132 are compressed, expelling air and creating an outward airflow that blows away debris on both sides of the heel, reducing debris adhesion to the athletic shoe.

[0038] The extension direction of the elastic hole 132 is opposite to the extension direction of the side of the recessed portion 131, causing the elastic hole 132 on the upper inner side 133 to extend towards the sole of the foot. This increases the bending range of the elastic support member 13 at the location of the elastic hole 132 during deformation, thereby further increasing the support force provided by the elastic support member 13 to the heel. Furthermore, the elastic holes 132 on the same side are distributed in a figure-eight shape between the upper inner side 133 and the lower inner side 134, so that the openings of the elastic holes 132 between different inner sides face the center of the recessed portion 131. During the process of expelling air from the elastic hole 132, the air converges in the center of the recessed portion 131, effectively increasing the airflow velocity and thus improving the effect of preventing debris from adhering to the athletic shoe.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the front end of the outsole 2 has upwardly extending positioning protrusions 21 on both sides, which extend to both sides of the midsole 1. The bottom of the front end of the midsole 1 has positioning grooves 14, and the positioning protrusions 21 are embedded in the positioning grooves 14. The positioning protrusions 21 and the positioning grooves 14 position the outsole 2 and the midsole 1 to ensure the accuracy of their installation positions.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the bottom surface of outsole 2 has a front abrasion-resistant protrusion group 22 and a rear abrasion-resistant protrusion group 23. The front abrasion-resistant protrusion group 22 corresponds to the forefoot position, and the rear abrasion-resistant protrusion group 23 corresponds to the arch and heel positions. By dividing the bottom surface of outsole 2 into sections and adjusting the structure of the abrasion-resistant protrusions according to their correspondence with different positions on the foot, the bottom surface of outsole 2 can be maximized to ensure good anti-slip and abrasion-resistant performance.

[0041] Specifically, the front wear-resistant protrusion group 22 includes a front protrusion 221 and a middle protrusion 222, which are located at the front end of the bottom of the outsole 2 and the front end of the rear wear-resistant protrusion group 23, respectively. The front wear-resistant protrusion group 22 also includes multiple sets of main protrusions 223 and side protrusions 224 arranged sequentially between the front protrusions 221 and the middle protrusions 222. In this embodiment, there are three sets of main protrusions 223 and side protrusions 224; one set of main protrusions 223 and side protrusions 224 are located on the same straight line and are arranged sequentially in the width direction of the outsole 2; the side protrusions 224 correspond to the position on the big toe side of the forefoot. The forefoot protrusion 221 and the middle protrusion 222 cover the width of the outsole 2, ensuring the overall anti-slip and wear-resistant performance of the forefoot wear-resistant protrusion group 22. Corresponding main protrusions 223 and side protrusions 224 are positioned between the forefoot protrusion 221 and the middle protrusion 222. During forefoot strike, the big toe plays a major role in generating force. Multiple smaller side protrusions 224 are aligned with the big toe position, increasing the frequency of the bumps on the big toe and its rear end, thereby increasing the friction of the outsole 2. Larger main protrusions 223 are positioned corresponding to the middle of the forefoot and the little toe side, working in conjunction with the main protrusions 223, forefoot protrusion 221, and middle protrusion 222 to ensure the shoe generates greater friction during forefoot strike.

[0042] The front protrusion 221, main protrusion 223, side protrusion 224, and middle protrusion 222 are all provided with front anti-slip grooves 2231. The extension direction of the front anti-slip grooves 2231 is the same as that of the front protrusion 221, main protrusion 223, side protrusion 224, and middle protrusion 222, respectively. Extension grooves 2232 are connected to the anti-slip grooves, and the extension grooves 2232 extend to the front and rear sides of the front anti-slip grooves 2231. The front anti-slip groove 2231 utilizes the extension directions of the front protrusion 221, main protrusion 223, side protrusion 224 and middle protrusion 222 to cover a large area of ​​the extension directions of the front protrusion 221, main protrusion 223, side protrusion 224 and middle protrusion 222. By utilizing the extension grooves 2232 extending to the front and rear sides of the front anti-slip groove 2231, the bottom area of ​​the front protrusion 221, main protrusion 223, side protrusion 224 and middle protrusion 222 is fully utilized to maximize the anti-slip performance of the outsole 2 at the forefoot position.

[0043] The heel abrasion-resistant protrusion group 23 includes a rear protrusion 231 and side protrusions 232 located at both ends of the rear protrusion 231. The rear protrusion 231 corresponds to the rear end of the heel, and the side protrusions 232 correspond to the arch and the sides of the heel. The rear protrusion 231 and the side protrusions 232 form a "U"-shaped anti-slip structure, providing full coverage of the arch and the sides of the heel, effectively improving the anti-slip performance of the rear end of the athletic shoe.

[0044] Both the side protrusion 232 and the rear protrusion 231 are provided with rear anti-slip grooves 2311, and the extension direction of the rear anti-slip grooves 2311 is the same as the extension direction of the side protrusions 232 and the rear protrusions 231. The rear anti-slip grooves 2311 utilize the extension directions of the side protrusions 232 and the rear protrusions 231 to maximize the coverage of the side protrusions 232 and the rear protrusions 231, further improving the anti-slip performance of the rear end of the sports shoe.

[0045] The outsole 2 has an arch groove 24 and a heel groove 25 on its bottom surface. The arch groove 24 and heel groove 25 are located between the side protrusions 232 and correspond to the arch and heel positions, respectively. The arch groove 24 and heel groove 25 are located within a "U"-shaped anti-slip structure. Without affecting the anti-slip performance of the rear of the shoe, the thickness of the outsole 2 at the arch and heel is reduced, thereby improving the flexibility of the outsole 2.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
