[0008] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides a novel foot mat, which comprises a first absorbent layer 1 and a second absorbent layer 2, the second absorbent layer 2 being sewn to the first absorbent layer 1 and divided by a first stitch line 3 to form a first wiping area 4 and a second wiping area 5, and the first wiping area 4 and the second wiping area 5 are provided to penetrate the first absorbent layer 1 along the width direction.

[0009] The first stitch line 3 divides the space between the second absorbent layer 2 and the first absorbent layer 1 into two independent, penetrating first and second wiping areas 4 and 5, which can accommodate and wipe the instep of one foot, respectively, providing good coverage and excellent wiping performance. During use, the user stretches both feet into the corresponding wiping areas, and while wiping the instep of one foot, the other foot is effectively and stably supported and fixed within the other wiping area, improving the stability of the wiping action and improving the convenience, comfort, and safety of use.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first absorbent layer 1 and the second absorbent layer 2 are made of prior art absorbent fabrics that have good absorbency, breathability and comfort, and can quickly absorb moisture from the feet while providing a comfortable feel against the skin.

[0011] Both ends of the second water absorbent layer 2 are sewn and fixed to the first water absorbent layer 1 by second stitch lines, which can improve the stability of the connection between them.

[0012] The middle part of the second absorbent layer 2 is sewn and fixed to the first absorbent layer 1 by a first stitch line 3, and two independent, penetrating wiping areas, namely a first wiping area 4 and a second wiping area 5, are formed between the second absorbent layer 2 and the first absorbent layer 1. The design of the wiping areas allows the second absorbent layer 2 to fit closely to the instep of the user, providing good coverage and facilitating subsequent drying.

[0013] The first water-absorbing layer 1 quickly absorbs moisture from the sole of the foot, and the second water-absorbing layer 2 quickly absorbs moisture from the top of the foot by wiping it, and the two layers work together to improve the wiping effect.

[0014] The first stitch lines 3 extend along a direction parallel to the width direction of the first water absorbent layer 1, improving the stability and separation effect of the two wiping areas.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment, the upper surface of the first water-absorbing layer 1 and the upper and lower surfaces of the second water-absorbing layer 2 are provided with a plurality of water-absorbing protrusions.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of first water-absorbing protrusions 11 are provided on the upper surface of the first water-absorbing layer 1, and the first water-absorbing protrusions 11 are formed by stitching, which increases the friction force between the first water-absorbing layer 1 and the sole of the foot, improves wiping stability and water-absorbing efficiency, and provides better support. A plurality of second water-absorbing protrusions 21 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the second water-absorbing layer 2, and the second water-absorbing protrusions 21 are formed by stitching, which increases the friction between the second water-absorbing layer 2 and the instep, improves wiping stability and water-absorbing efficiency, and provides better support and a feeling of envelopment.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, the water-absorbing projections are arranged in a matrix.

[0018] This arrangement allows the water-absorbing protrusions to be evenly spaced, improving the visual aesthetics of the foot mat and providing good wiping and water-absorbing effects.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment, there are gaps between adjacent water-absorbing projections.

[0020] In alternative embodiments, the water-absorbing protrusions have the shape of a hemisphere, a cylinder, a table, a cube or any regular geometric shape.

[0021] Furthermore, the water-absorbing protrusions are preferably regular hexagonal columns, which are structurally stable, have a high support effect, and are visually beautiful.

[0022] It should be noted that the shape, size and specific arrangement of the water-absorbing protrusions can be designed according to the needs of use.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, edge covers 6 are sewn onto the edges of the first water absorbent layer 1 and the second water absorbent layer 2 . Furthermore, the edge cover 6 is sewn and fixed by a third stitch line to the edges of the first water absorbent layer 1 and the second water absorbent layer 2. The edge cover 6 is made of warp knit pile fabric, plain fabric, polyester herringbone tape or polypropylene fabric.

[0024] This configuration increases the strength of the edges of the first water absorption layer 1 and the second water absorption layer 2, improving the aesthetic appearance and durability of the foot mat.

[0025] As an alternative embodiment, it comprises an intermediate layer 7 and an anti-slip layer 8, with the first water-absorbing layer 1, the intermediate layer 7 and the anti-slip layer 8 being arranged in this order from top to bottom.

[0026] Furthermore, the intermediate layer 7 is made of sponge, batting, EVE, EPA, nonwoven felt or the like, and has a thickness of 0.5 to 5 cm.

[0027] The anti-slip layer 8 is made of anti-slip fabrics such as ordinary non-woven felt, anti-slip non-woven felt, ordinary PVC, anti-slip PVC, etc., which have a high friction coefficient in the prior art, and provides good anti-slip effect on floor surfaces in various environments.

[0028] The function of the anti-slip layer 8 is to increase the friction force between the foot mat and the ground, prevent the foot mat from slipping in wet environments, and improve the safety and stability of use.

[0029] The first water-absorbing layer 1, the intermediate layer 7 and the anti-slip layer 8 can be compositely connected by processes such as quilting, laminating or ultrasonic heat bonding.
