[0064] In a solution, the above air guide tube is preferably a flexible tube.

[0065] This embodiment further provides a shoe, including the above blower device for a shoe, where the shoe is provided with a fixing structure for fixing the housing.

[0066] In a solution, the fixing structure comprises a strap or a hook-and-loop fastener; and the strap may be a shoelace.

[0067] In a solution, for the above hook-and-loop fastener, a first hook-and-loop fastener may be disposed on the shoe, and a second hook-and-loop fastener configured to adhere to the first hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on the housing; alternatively, a first hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on the shoe, and another hook-and-loop fastener is also disposed on an opposite side of the shoe; and the housing is located in and tightly held by the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0068] In a solution, as shown in FIG. 5, the strap passes through the hanging holes 161 or the through hole 162 of the housing and is fixed, and the housing may be on the vamp and fixed by guiding the strap; or the housing may also be at a shoelace area, and the shoelace is used as the strap, and passes through the hanging holes or the through hole for fixation.

Additionally, an air chamber 74 is disposed in the exhaust channel 73, and the air channel port 71 serves as an air inlet. When the foot steps down, due to the pressure on the sole, the air chamber 74 is compressed, and airflow is blown out from the exhaust port 72 through the exhaust channel 73. Correspondingly, when the foot lifts, the air chamber 74 recovers, and air in the shoe is drawn into the air chamber 74 through the air channel port 71 via the exhaust channel 73. When the lifted foot contacts the ground again, the air chamber 74 is compressed again, and airflow is blown out from the exhaust port 72 through the exhaust channel 73. To achieve a better exhaust effect, the exhaust channel 73 may employ a Tesla valve structure, which is unidirectional. In this embodiment, a direction from the air channel port 71 to the exhaust port 72 is a low-resistance direction, and the guide tube 6 is connected into the exhaust channel 73. The intake channel is arranged similarly, with a direction opposite to that of the exhaust channel.
