Description

FIELD

[0001] This application relates to the field of shoe soles, and particularly, to a shock-absorbing waterproof and breathable shoe sole.BACKGROUND

[0002] The shoe sole is an important component of shoes, with good breathability and shock absorption, which can improve the comfort of wearing shoes. The breathability of traditional shoes mainly lies in the shoe upper, lacking a breathable structure design for the shoe sole. Friction with foot sole makes it easier to sweat, and the gap between foot sole and shoe sole is small, resulting in poor air circulation, which can easily breed bacteria, produce odors, and affect people's foot health.SUMMARY

[0003] This application provides a shock-absorbing waterproof and breathable shoe sole to solve the problem of the lack of breathable structure design in existing shoe soles, which can easily breed bacteria, produce odors, and affect health.

[0004] This application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A shock-absorbing waterproof and breathable shoe sole, comprising a midsole, characterized in that a top of the midsole is provided with a concavity, a bottom of which is provided with multiple breathable grooves, a left side wall and a right side wall of the breathable grooves are provided with through holes connected to outside, and a gasket is fitted in the concavity, and the gasket comprises a support plate which is provided with multiple breathable holes aligned with the breathable grooves.

[0006] In some embodiments, the gasket further comprises a breathable waterproof cloth, and the support plate and the breathable waterproof cloth are integrally formed.

[0007] In some embodiments, the bottom of the concavity is provided with six breathable grooves, which are arranged in a row along the front to back direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bottom of the concavity is provided with an arc-shaped groove at the toe region, and the arc-shaped groove is connected to the breathable grooves.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support plate is made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) material.

[0010] In some embodiments, an aperture of the breathable holes is 1.5 mm to 3 mm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the through holes have an aperture that gradually decreases from the outside to the inside, forming a horn shape.

[0012] In some embodiments, the shoe midsole is made of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer) material.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the shoe midsole is combined with an outsole, and the outsole is provided with anti-slip patterns.

[0014] From the above description of the structure of the present application, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The shoe sole of this application is provided with multiple breathable grooves, and the inner wall of the breathable grooves is provided with through holes that connect to the outside. The external air is prone to circulate to the inside of the shoe, and the structure has good breathability. Sweat on the foot sole can be quickly discharged through the through holes, keeping the shoe sole relatively dry and less prone to bacterial growth. The inside of the shoe is clean and hygienic.

[0016] 2. The concavity of this application is provided with a stabilizing plate, which provides support for the shoe sole and makes the shoe sole has more toughness. The stabilizing plate is provided with breathable holes to guide sweat from the foot sole to be discharged through the breathable grooves, and the structural design is reasonable.

[0017] 3. The concavity of this application is provided with a breathable waterproof cloth, which ensures the breathability of the shoe sole while prevents water from entering the shoe through the breathable groove, making the shoe safe and comfortable to wear.DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
