Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of footwear technology, and more specifically, to an upper and a river tracing shoe having the upper. Background Technology

[0002] River tracing shoes are functional athletic shoes designed specifically for slippery outdoor environments such as streams and rivers. The performance of the upper material directly affects the wearing experience and lifespan, so it must meet multiple core performance requirements: on the one hand, it must have excellent abrasion resistance and scratch resistance to resist friction and snagging from hard objects such as rocks and branches in the outdoor environment; on the other hand, it must have good water repellency or quick-drying properties to reduce water accumulation inside the shoe, keep the feet relatively dry, and avoid bacterial growth and odor caused by prolonged dampness.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream water tracing shoes on the market use mesh fabric for their uppers. This type of mesh is mostly woven from chemical fiber multifilaments, and its inherent properties allow for breathability and lightweighting, making it widely used in water tracing shoe uppers. However, existing mesh materials still have significant drawbacks in practical applications, making it difficult to fully meet the needs of water tracing shoes: Firstly, when in contact with sharp or hard objects, the yarns of this type of mesh are prone to scratches, pilling, or even breakage, severely damaging the integrity of the fabric, significantly reducing the durability of the upper, and thus shortening the lifespan of the water tracing shoes; secondly, the fiber gaps and yarn interiors of traditional mesh fabric easily retain moisture after immersion, which not only increases the overall weight of the shoes but also causes slow drying. Furthermore, the retained moisture provides suitable conditions for microbial growth, leading to unpleasant odors inside the shoes, seriously affecting wearing comfort and hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a shoe upper with good durability and quick-drying properties. Furthermore, a river tracing shoe having this shoe upper is also provided.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a shoe upper, comprising an outer woven fabric and an inner woven fabric, wherein the outer woven fabric and the inner woven fabric are layered and interwoven together; the outer woven fabric is woven from fiber yarns with a PU layer on the outer surface, and the inner woven fabric is woven from water-repellent fiber yarns; a plurality of protrusions are provided on the surface of the inner woven fabric away from the outer woven fabric, and a groove is formed between any two adjacent protrusions and the surface of the inner woven fabric away from the outer woven fabric.

[0006] In the aforementioned upper, the outer woven fabric is made of fiber yarns covered with a PU layer. The PU material is non-absorbent and has good abrasion resistance, allowing the outer woven fabric to act as a protective layer for the entire upper, greatly improving its resistance to abrasion, tearing, and snagging, resulting in excellent durability. Furthermore, the inner woven fabric is made of water-repellent fiber yarns, which are pre-treated for water repellency. Their water-repellent effect is durable and not easily lost due to washing or friction, thus providing long-lasting water repellency and quick-drying properties. Further, by setting multiple protrusions on the surface of the inner woven fabric away from the outer woven fabric, these protrusions can contact the skin of the foot. Any two adjacent protrusions form a groove between the outer woven fabric surface and the foot skin. At this groove, the outer woven fabric surface is spaced apart from the foot skin, effectively reducing moisture absorption and retention, promoting rapid moisture removal and evaporation, and resulting in good quick-drying properties for the upper. As a result, the upper has good durability, water repellency and quick-drying properties due to the combined effect of the outer woven fabric, the inner woven fabric and the raised design.

[0007] In one embodiment, the protrusion is woven from multifilament fiber yarns.

[0008] In one embodiment, the protrusion is woven from water-repellent fiber yarn.

[0009] In one embodiment, a plurality of through holes are formed throughout the shoe surface, each of which corresponds to the protrusion.

[0010] In one embodiment, a plurality of through holes are formed throughout the shoe surface, and the plurality of through holes are distributed around the plurality of protrusions.

[0011] In one embodiment, the upper includes a densely woven area and a perforated area, the protrusion is located in the densely woven area, and in the perforated area, the inner woven fabric is mesh-like and the outer woven fabric is a densely perforated structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the hollow area is divided into a first hollow area and two second hollow areas, the two second hollow areas corresponding to the left and right sides of the foot respectively, and the first hollow area corresponding to the position of the base of the toes.

[0013] In one embodiment, in the first perforated area, the perforated area of ​​the mesh of the inner woven fabric gradually decreases from the middle position to the edge position.

[0014] In one embodiment, in the hollowed-out area, the mesh of the inner woven fabric is woven from multifilament fiber yarns.

[0015] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a river tracing shoe, including the aforementioned upper.

[0016] Among the aforementioned river tracing shoes, the upper has good durability, water repellency, and quick-drying properties due to the combined effect of the outer woven fabric, the inner woven fabric, and the raised features. As a result, the river tracing shoes have a longer service life and better wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 This application protects an upper 100 and a water tracing shoe having the upper 100. The water tracing shoe includes an upper 100 and a sole, with the upper 100 and the sole fixedly connected together to form a complete shoe that can be worn on the human foot.

[0024] The upper 100 includes an outer woven fabric 200 and an inner woven fabric 300, which are layered and interwoven together. The outer woven fabric 200 is woven from fiber yarns with a PU layer on the outer surface, and the inner woven fabric 300 is woven from water-repellent fiber yarns. The surface of the inner woven fabric 300 away from the outer woven fabric 200 has multiple protrusions 400, and a groove is formed between any two adjacent protrusions 400 and the surface of the inner woven fabric 300 away from the outer woven fabric 200.

[0025] It can be understood that the outer woven fabric 200 is the layer on the shoe upper 100 furthest from the skin of the human foot, while the inner woven fabric 300 is the layer on the shoe upper 100 closest to the skin of the human foot. The outer woven fabric 200 and the inner woven fabric 300 are layered together, thus making the entire shoe upper 100 a multi-layered structure. In addition, the outer woven fabric 200 and the inner woven fabric 300 are interwoven and connected together to prevent them from separating.

[0026] Since the outer woven fabric 200 is made of fiber yarns covered with a PU (polyurethane) layer, the PU material is non-absorbent and has good abrasion resistance. The outer woven fabric 200 can become a protective layer for the entire upper 100, which greatly improves the upper 100's abrasion resistance, tear resistance and scratch resistance, making the upper 100 have excellent durability and thus extending the service life of the water tracing shoes in harsh outdoor environments.

[0027] Furthermore, since the inner woven fabric 300 is made of water-repellent fiber yarn, which is a pre-treated water-repellent fiber, its water-repellent effect is durable and not easily lost due to washing or friction. Therefore, the inner woven fabric 300 has long-lasting water-repellent and quick-drying properties. It can be understood that the water-repellent fibers used in the inner woven fabric 300 can be water-repellent polyester (PET) fibers, water-repellent nylon (PA) fibers, water-repellent polypropylene (PP) fibers, etc.

[0028] It can be understood that the surface of the inner woven fabric 300 that is furthest from the outer woven fabric 200 is the surface of the inner woven fabric 300 closest to the skin of the human foot. By setting multiple protrusions 400 on this surface, multiple protrusions 400 can come into contact with the skin of the human foot. Any two adjacent protrusions 400 form a groove between the surface of the inner woven fabric 300 furthest from the outer woven fabric 200 and the skin of the foot at this groove. This effectively reduces the adsorption and retention of moisture, promotes the rapid drainage and evaporation of moisture, and makes the shoe upper 100 have good quick-drying properties, which helps to keep the inside of the river tracing shoe relatively dry.

[0029] It is understandable that the multiple protrusions 400 can be arranged in an array or irregularly distributed on the surface of the inner woven fabric 300 away from the outer woven fabric 200.

[0030] Therefore, the upper 100 has good durability, water repellency and quick-drying properties due to the combined effect of the outer woven fabric 200, the inner woven fabric 300 and the raised 400, which also extends the service life of the river tracing shoes and makes them more comfortable to wear.

[0031] Specifically, the protrusion 400 is woven from water-repellent fiber yarn. Therefore, the protrusion 400 has durable water-repellent and quick-drying properties, thus helping to keep the inside of the water tracing shoe relatively dry. Furthermore, since the protrusion 400 uses the same yarn as the inner woven fabric 300, a portion of the yarn used in the inner woven fabric 300 can be used to form the protrusion 400 during the weaving process. This eliminates the need to introduce additional yarn, reducing the complexity of the weaving process. In this application, the water-repellent fiber yarn can be woven into the inner woven fabric 300 after being threaded through the outer woven fabric 200, thus achieving the interweaving connection between the outer woven fabric 200 and the inner woven fabric 300 while weaving the protrusion 400, further reducing the complexity of the weaving process.

[0032] Specifically, the Protrusion 400 is woven from multifilament fiber yarns. The multifilament structure of Protrusion 400 makes it soft to the touch against the skin, ensuring wearing comfort. For details on the weaving of Protrusion 400, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 4 The diagram shows the weaving structure.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a plurality of perforations 500 are formed through the upper 100, corresponding to the protrusions 400. Perforations 500 are also provided around the protrusions 400. It can be understood that the perforations 500 can improve airflow and accelerate moisture evaporation, reducing the duration of dampness, effectively reducing the risk of bacterial growth and odor caused by dampness, and improving comfort and hygiene.

[0034] In this application, the number of through holes 500 is greater than the number of protrusions 400, so that each protrusion 400 is provided with a through hole 500, and multiple through holes 500 are also distributed around the protrusion 400.

[0035] In other embodiments, through holes 500 may be provided only around the protrusions 400, while no through holes 500 may be provided at any of the protrusions 400. Alternatively, through holes 500 may be provided only at the positions corresponding to the protrusions 400, while no through holes 500 may be provided around the protrusions 400. In this case, the number of protrusions 400 may be equal to the number of through holes 500, in which case multiple through holes 500 correspond one-to-one with multiple protrusions 400, so that each position of protrusion 400 is provided with a through hole 500. Alternatively, the number of protrusions 400 may be greater than the number of through holes 500, so that some positions of protrusions 400 are provided with through holes 500, while other positions of protrusions 400 are not provided with through holes 500. Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this application, the upper 100 includes a densely woven area 600 and a perforated area 700. The protrusion 400 is located in the densely woven area 600. In the perforated area 700, the inner woven fabric 300 has a mesh-like structure, and the outer woven fabric 200 has a densely perforated structure. It can be understood that by differentiating the inner woven fabric 300 from the outer woven fabric 200 in the perforated area 700, the upper 100 can simultaneously achieve the needs of external protection and internal comfort and dryness, thus balancing the functionality and wearing experience of the water tracing shoe. Furthermore, the densely woven area 600 ensures that the upper 100 provides reliable support for the foot, while the protrusion 400, located in the densely woven area 600, reduces moisture retention, promotes rapid moisture removal and evaporation, and keeps the inside of the water tracing shoe relatively dry.

[0036] Specifically, the openwork area 700 is divided into a first openwork area 710 and two second openwork areas 720. The two second openwork areas 720 correspond to the left and right sides of the foot, respectively, while the first openwork area 710 corresponds to the base of the toes. It can be understood that the first openwork area 710 and the two second openwork areas 720 correspond to multiple areas on the feet that are prone to sweating and moisture retention. The openwork design of each openwork area 700 promotes rapid moisture removal and evaporation, keeping the inside of the water tracing shoe relatively dry.

[0037] Specifically, in the first openwork area 710, the openwork area of ​​the mesh of the inner woven fabric 300 gradually decreases from the center to the edge. It can be understood that the openwork area of ​​the mesh in the center is larger, while the openwork area of ​​the mesh at the edge is smaller. This design allows for a smooth transition between the first openwork area 710 and the surrounding densely woven area 600, preventing significant deformation of the shoe upper 100 at the first openwork area 710 that would affect the appearance.

[0038] Specifically, in the openwork area 700, the mesh of the inner woven fabric 300 is woven from multifilament fiber yarns. It is understandable that during human foot movement, the openwork area 700 of the shoe upper 100 is prone to bending and deformation. By setting the mesh to a multifilament structure, the reliability of the mesh weaving can be improved, thereby reducing the possibility of the mesh being worn and breaking during bending and deformation.

[0039] The upper 100 of this application can be manufactured using mature knitting technology and fiber treatment processes, making it easy to achieve industrial production. Because the upper 100 of this application has good abrasion resistance and provides the inner surface with durable and effective water-repellent and quick-drying properties, the wading shoes with this upper 100 have good water-repellent and abrasion-resistant properties, thus extending their service life and improving wearing comfort.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
