Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a safety protective shoe, specifically a safety shoe with an increased area of ​​foot protection. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, mining, and construction environments, the feet and legs are susceptible to injuries from impacts, punctures from sharp objects, and friction. Safety boots, as crucial protective equipment, play a vital role in ensuring adequate protection. However, existing safety boots suffer from limited protection areas, typically only protecting critical areas like the toes and soles, while neglecting areas such as the instep and heel. This makes them ill-suited for the comprehensive protection needs of complex work environments. For instance, protecting the instep from compression injuries is essential for workplaces where heavy objects may fall, drop, or roll. While existing protective shoes feature toe caps, they only protect the toes. The heel of protective shoes should have appropriate height and cushioning to protect the heel from heavy objects, sharp objects, or objects that puncture the sole. The heel's cushioning must also be adequate, absorbing at least 28J of energy. However, current technology often suffers from weak heel protection, lacking effective protective devices or cushioning structures, resulting in insufficient protection upon impact. Furthermore, existing safety shoes struggle to balance protective performance with wearing comfort.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to address the problems of limited protection area of ​​existing safety shoes, insufficient protection for areas such as the instep and heel, and the difficulty in balancing protective performance with wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety shoe with an increased foot protection area, which solves the problems of limited protection area of ​​existing safety shoes, insufficient protection of areas such as the instep and heel, and difficulty in balancing protective performance and wearing comfort.

[0005] The safety shoe of this utility model with enlarged foot protection area includes an upper, which includes, from the outside to the inside, an upper layer, a foot protection layer and a cushioning layer for reducing the impact on the instep. The foot protection layer includes a support layer for protecting the instep and heel, and a toe cap that is connected to the support layer for protecting the toes. The support layer is provided with reinforcing ribs that form an arched support along the instep.

[0006] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs are disposed on the front support layer of the instep and are connected to the anti-smashing headband;

[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs are integrally formed with the support layer;

[0008] Furthermore, the support layer is made of rigid rubber material, and the reinforcing ribs are made of glass fiber material;

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer layer is made of felt material;

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes the sole, wherein a reinforcing patch is provided in the midsection of the sole to support the midsection of the sole upwards;

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforcing patch covers the midsole and extends to both sides of the upper, where it is fixedly connected to the front and back of the upper.

[0012] Furthermore, the reinforcing patch has a larger area on both sides of the upper than on the sole.

[0013] Furthermore, the reinforcing patch is made of high-strength rubber material;

[0014] Furthermore, a foot pedal is provided at the heel of the shoe, which is a hard rubber protrusion extending outward from the heel.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The safety shoe with an enlarged foot protection area of ​​this utility model forms a protective structure for the instep, toes and heel areas by setting a foot protection layer with reinforced ribs, a cushioning layer and an anti-impact toe cap.

[0020] This utility model discloses a safety shoe with an enlarged foot protection area, comprising an upper 1. The upper 1, from the outside in, includes an upper layer 2, a foot protection layer 3, and a cushioning layer 4 for reducing impact on the instep. The foot protection layer 3 includes a support layer 301 for protecting the instep and heel, and an anti-impact toe cap 303 that connects to the support layer 301 for protecting the toes. The support layer 301 is provided with reinforcing ribs 302 that form an arched support along the instep. The reinforcing ribs 302 are located at the front of the support layer 301 and connect to the anti-impact toe cap 303. The foot protection layer 3 is composed of the support layer 301 and the anti-impact toe cap 303. Reinforcing ribs 302 are used at the connection point between the support layer 301 and the anti-impact toe cap 303, and the reinforcing ribs 302 are located on the support layer 301. The anti-impact toe cap 303 is generally made of impact-resistant materials, commonly including steel toe caps, plastic toe caps, fiberglass toe caps, aluminum toe caps, and nano-toe caps. Different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of protective performance, weight, comfort, and corrosion resistance. For example, steel toe caps are hard and impact-resistant, but heavy; while fiberglass toe caps are lightweight, have good insulation, and are suitable for long-term wear. This embodiment preferably uses a steel toe cap, and more preferably a wide toe cap, the surface of which is generally covered with rubber, the same as the steel toe caps in the art in the prior art, which does not squeeze the feet, protects the toes and provides high comfort. The support layer 301 is preferably made of hard rubber, and the reinforcing ribs 302 are preferably made of fiberglass. Hard rubber has a certain degree of hardness, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, low water absorption rate and good electrical insulation properties. The fiberglass reinforcing ribs 302 have higher strength and hardness than hard rubber but lower than the anti-impact toe cap 303. Therefore, on the foot protection layer 3, from the anti-impact toe cap 303 to the reinforcing ribs 302 and the support layer 301, there is a gradient change in hardness and strength. The reinforcing ribs 302 play a good supporting and transitional role between the support layer 301 and the anti-impact toe cap 303, while meeting the needs of different parts of the foot, ensuring protection while improving wearing comfort. Since the support layer 301 extends along the shape of the last from the connection point of the anti-impact toe cap 303 to the instep and heel, it also adds protection to the heel area, achieving all-round protection for the entire foot. The so-called connection between the reinforcing ribs 302 and the anti-impact toe cap 303 means that the shape of the reinforcing ribs 302 and the anti-impact toe cap 303 is adapted to achieve a smooth transition between the anti-impact toe cap 303 and the reinforcing ribs 302, ensuring the smoothness of the shoe shape and the balanced distribution of force.

[0021] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 302 is integrally formed with the support layer 301; this ensures the strength and integrity of the interlayer structure while not affecting the overall appearance of the shoe.

[0022] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 4 is made of felt material. When subjected to external pressure, the interwoven structure between the fiber bundles of the felt material is compressed, thus possessing a certain degree of elasticity, which can dampen and absorb external impact forces. As a buffer material, felt has a good particle aggregation effect, a large aggregation capacity per unit area, low pressure loss, and strong cushioning performance. Using felt material as the buffer layer 4 can reduce the impact force on the instep during walking and improve wearing comfort.

[0023] In this embodiment, the shoe also includes a sole 5, with a reinforcing patch 6 in the midsection of the sole 5 to support the midsection upwards. The reinforcing patch 6 covers the midsection of the sole 5 and extends to both sides of the upper, where it is fixedly connected to the forefoot 101 and heel 102 of the upper 1. The reinforcing patch 6 provides localized reinforcement to the midsection of the sole, improving its hardness, support, and shock absorption. This increases the foot deformation distance, prolongs the ground contact time, reduces impact load, and improves comfort. More importantly, by connecting the midsection reinforcing patch 6 to the front and back of the upper 1, the foot protection layer 3, the midsection reinforcing patch 6, and the impact-resistant toe cap 303 form an integrated protective structure, providing higher protection strength and better dispersing impact force, thus achieving full protection for the instep, heel, and toes. The sole 5 is divided into a midsole and an outsole from top to bottom, with the reinforcing patch 6 located in the midsection of the outer surface of the outsole. The outsole is made of calendered sole and molded heel, and the outsole is made of rubber. The sole surface has a deep pattern to increase the friction coefficient of the sole, increase grip and improve anti-slip performance. There is an insole on the upper part of the midsole. The insole is an arch support antibacterial insole, which is antibacterial, deodorizing and protects the arch, relieves pressure on the sole of the foot and increases the comfort of walking.

[0024] In this embodiment, the reinforcing patch 6 has a larger area on both sides of the upper than on the sole 5. The reinforcing patch 6 must cover the midsection of the sole 5 and extend upwards to the upper 1, simultaneously connecting the forefoot 101 and heel 102 surfaces of the upper 1, thus simultaneously reinforcing the midsection of the sole 5 and the forefoot 101 and heel 102 surfaces of the upper 1. Therefore, the reinforcing patch 6 preferably adopts a waist-shaped structure, and both ends of the reinforcing patch 6 are rounded and adapted to the upper.

[0025] In this embodiment, the reinforcing patch 6 is a high-strength rubber material; high-strength rubber refers to rubber materials used in products such as tires that need to withstand high-strength forces, and is an existing material.

[0026] In this embodiment, a footstool 7 is provided at the heel of the shoe. The footstool 7 is a hard rubber protrusion extending outward from the heel. The function of the footstool 7 is to facilitate the removal of the shoes. In use, one foot steps on the footstool of the other foot to remove the shoes. At the same time, since the footstool 7 is a protrusion located at the heel and its shape conforms to the curvature of the heel, it also provides protection for the heel.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
