Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear and apparel technology, specifically to a soft and elastic scale upper. Background Technology

[0002] Shoes are a type of clothing accessory whose function is to protect and cover the user's feet. They are basically composed of a sole and an upper. The sole is the lower part that contacts the ground, while the upper is the upper part that is located on top of the sole. The upper covers the user's foot and connects with the sole to fix the sole to the user's foot, preventing the sole from falling off. The design of the upper can effectively improve the integration of the shoe and foot, and make the shoe more protective of the foot and provide better warmth.

[0003] Although the existing technologies mentioned above can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: In order to provide better lateral support for the wearer, existing shoe uppers usually have a hot-melt TPU layer applied to the sides or are reinforced by high-density weaving. However, although the strength and protection of the sides of the molded shoe upper are improved, its breathability will be greatly reduced, making it easy to feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a soft, elastic scale upper that offers good protection and breathability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a soft and elastic scale upper, comprising an upper body and an opening integrally formed on the upper body at the heel position of the human foot, wherein the upper body is provided with a side edge reinforcement layer extending to a corresponding position on the forefoot side of the upper body, the side edge reinforcement layer comprising a connecting layer identical to the upper body and a plurality of high-density woven strips disposed on the connecting layer.

[0006] A further improvement is that the upper body is provided with a forefoot reinforcement layer at the corresponding position of the forefoot of the human foot, which has the same structure as the side edge reinforcement layer.

[0007] A further improvement is that the side of the shoe upper body is provided with a side reinforcement layer with the same structure as the side edge reinforcement layer.

[0008] A further improvement is that the upper body has a side breathable layer extending towards the forefoot position on the corresponding position of the heel side of the human foot.

[0009] A further improvement is that the side edge reinforcement layer also includes a mesh layer disposed between the two high-density braided strips in the connecting layer.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The upper body of this utility model is formed with a side edge reinforcement layer and a side reinforcement layer and a forefoot reinforcement layer with the same structure as the side edge reinforcement layer. The connecting layer on the side edge reinforcement layer is connected to the upper body. Multiple high-density woven strips formed by high-density weaving are also formed on it, thereby effectively improving the overall strength of the upper. Moreover, the high-density woven strips do not completely cover the connecting layer. The gaps between the high-density woven strips allow the heat generated when the foot is worn to dissipate outward. At the same time, a mesh layer is provided between the gaps of the high-density woven strips, which greatly improves the breathability of the side edge reinforcement layer, the side reinforcement layer and the forefoot reinforcement layer. This makes the upper have high strength and protection while also having good heat dissipation and high wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0013] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0014] See Figure 1-2As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a soft and elastic scale-like upper, including an upper body 1 and an insertion opening 5 integrally formed on the upper body 1 at the heel position of the human foot. The insertion opening 5 is formed by cutting. The upper body 1 has a side edge reinforcement layer 2 extending to the corresponding position on the forefoot side of the upper body 1 at the side edge position. The side edge reinforcement layer 2 includes a connecting layer 21 identical to the upper body 1 and several high-density woven strips 22 disposed on the connecting layer 21. The high-density woven strips 22 are integrally woven onto the connecting layer 21 in one piece. The connecting layer 21 is an extension structure of the upper body 1. In use, the upper is first sewn and fixed to the midsole, and then the foot can be put into the shoe through the insertion opening 5. During wearing, the upper body 1 will wrap around the foot, providing a certain degree of wrapping and heat dissipation. After the foot is put in, the side of the foot has the side edge reinforcement layer 2. The connecting layer 21 is connected to the upper body. Multiple high-density woven strips 22 are formed on it by high-density weaving. The high-density woven strips 22 are formed by increasing the yarn density, using thicker yarns, or introducing reinforcing fibers on the basis of the connecting layer 21. They are longitudinal or transverse reinforcing ribs formed in the same weaving process, thereby effectively improving the overall strength of the upper. When the foot moves laterally, the high-density woven strips 22 can effectively block it. The high-density woven strips 22 do not completely cover the connecting layer 21. The gaps between the high-density woven strips 22 allow the heat generated when the foot is worn to be dissipated outward through the lower-density woven connecting layer 21, improving the breathability of the side edge reinforcing layer 2. This makes the upper have good heat dissipation while having high strength and protection, resulting in high wearing comfort. At the same time, the multiple high-density woven stripes 22 protrude from the upper surface of the connecting layer 21. When observed, they can show a fish scale stripe pattern, which improves the aesthetics. The upper body 1 is also provided with a forefoot reinforcement layer 3 with the same structure as the side edge reinforcement layer 2 at the corresponding position of the forefoot of the human foot. This helps to improve the strength of the forefoot position of the shoe, improve the ability to withstand being stepped on, and ensure breathability. The upper body 1 has a side reinforcement layer 6 with the same structure as the side edge reinforcement layer 2. This helps to improve the strength of the side of the upper, further prevent the upper from being excessively deformed and affecting its protective properties when the foot is moving laterally, and ensures breathability. The upper body 1 has a side breathable layer 4 extending towards the forefoot of the upper body 1 at the corresponding position on the heel side of the human foot. This helps to improve the breathability of the heel and side positions of the upper body 1, making it more comfortable to wear. The side edge reinforcement layer 2 also includes a mesh layer 23 located between two high-density woven strips 22 in the connecting layer 21. This breathable mesh layer is naturally formed by a large needle pitch or openwork weaving method, which helps to significantly improve the breathability of the side edge reinforcement layer 2, the side reinforcement layer 6, and the forefoot reinforcement layer 3, and further improves heat dissipation and wearing comfort.

[0015] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the upper is first sewn and fixed to the midsole. Then, the foot can be put into the shoe through the opening 5. During the wearing process, the upper body 1 will wrap around the foot, providing a certain degree of wrapping and heat dissipation. After the foot is put in, the side of the foot has a side edge reinforcement layer 2. The connecting layer 21 on the side edge reinforcement layer 2 is connected to the upper body. Multiple high-density woven strips 22 formed by high-density weaving are also formed on it, thereby effectively improving the overall strength of the upper. When the foot moves laterally, it can be effectively blocked by the high-density woven strips 22. Moreover, the high-density woven strips 22 do not completely cover the connecting layer 21. The gaps between the high-density woven strips 22 allow the heat generated when the foot is worn to be dissipated outward through the lower-density woven connecting layer 21, improving the breathability of the side edge reinforcement layer 2. This makes the upper have high strength and protection while also having good heat dissipation and high wearing comfort.
