Description

shoe insoles

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe insole, and more particularly, to a shoe insole that enables the toes to grip the ground, thereby improving support for the ground and stability and forward progress, while enabling comfortable wearing of the shoe through sweat absorption and ventilation.

[0002] In general, the feet move the most and support the body's weight, and the soles of the feet are home to various nerves that connect to the body's organs.

[0003] Therefore, it is important to have healthy and fatigue-free feet for good health, and it is known that simply taking good care of your feet can improve your health by promoting blood circulation and facilitating the discharge of waste products.

[0004] In order to maintain foot health, it is important to wear appropriate shoes that are beneficial to your health. The key part of shoes that are beneficial to your health is the insole that comes into direct contact with the sole of your foot.

[0005] These shoe insoles are inserted into the inside of the shoe to provide cushioning to the user, and are usually shaped like the bottom surface of the inside of the shoe.

[0006] However, conventional shoe insoles have a problem in that the upper surface that comes into contact with the sole of the foot is flat, which causes the foot to turn outward or twist, which can lead to plantar fasciitis or hallux valgus.

[0007] Additionally, there is a problem that it is difficult to expect stable support as slipping occurs between the insole and the shoe while walking.

[0008] In particular, the arch of the sole absorbs and disperses the shock transmitted to the human body when the foot lands on the ground, and immediately enters a state of rebound elasticity the moment the foot leaves the ground. However, conventional shoe insoles have the problem of not being able to stably support the arch of the sole.

[0036] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a shoe insole (100) according to the present invention may include a sole mounting plate (110) that extends in the front-back direction and a toe mounting plate (120) that protrudes forward from the front end of the sole mounting plate (110) and is positioned lower than the upper surface of the sole mounting plate (110).

[0038] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the shoe insole (100) can be installed on the inner bottom surface of a shoe, including a shoe or a sneaker, and support the foot of a wearer (hereinafter referred to as “wearer”) wearing the shoe.

[0039] The shoe insole (100) can have the shape of the inner shape of the shoe.

[0040] The sole support plate (110) can be made of a cushion material including rubber, etc., and the upper surface can be used to support the sole of the foot, excluding the toes, while the two ends extend in the front-back direction.

[0041] The toe mounting plate (120) is made of the same material as the sole mounting plate (110) and is formed as one piece with the sole mounting plate (110) and can be formed to protrude forward from the front end of the sole mounting plate (110).

[0042] The toe mounting plate (120) can be positioned lower than the sole mounting plate (110) to allow the wearer's toes to be mounted.

[0043] A boundary (A) may be formed between the sole support plate (110) and the toe support plate (120) with the toe support plate (120) positioned lower than the upper surface of the sole support plate (110).

[0044] Due to this, the shoe insole (100) can be expected to improve stability and forward progress along with improved support for the ground by gripping the boundary step (A) together with the toe plate (120) as the wearer applies force to the toes, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0045] The shoe insole (100) can more stably support the arch of the wearer's foot because the central part of the sole support plate (110) protrudes upward and naturally forms an arch shape as the wearer applies force to the toes.

[0046] The sole mounting plate (110) may have a groove (111) formed on one side of the central portion of the lower surface as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0047] The home part (111) can be formed where the arch of the wearer's foot is located, and can form a triangular shape when viewed from above as the width becomes narrower from one side to the other.

[0048] On the upper surface forming the home portion (111), a folding groove (112) extending in both directions of the home portion (111) can be formed.

[0049] The folding groove (112) divides the groove (111) into front and rear, allowing the central portion of the sole support plate (110) to more easily form an arch shape.

[0050] Accordingly, the shoe insole (100) can support the arch of the wearer's foot by forming a more natural arch shape as one side of the central portion of the sole support plate (110) forming the groove (111) easily protrudes upward when walking.

[0051] The shoe insole (100) may further include a cushioning tube (130) that is formed so that both ends extend in the left and right directions, and the rear end is fixed to the front end of the sole support plate (110), and comes into contact with the wearer's toes, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

[0052] The buffer tube (130) can be formed in a polygonal shape including a circular or square cross-section.

[0053] The buffer tube (130) can be made of silicone or rubber material, and when both ends are opened, it can contract according to external force and relax according to the release of the external force, that is, return to its original state.

[0054] The buffer tube (130) is fixed along the boundary (A) and can easily cope with the movement of five toes, including the big toe.

[0055] Due to this, the buffer tube (130) can not only cushion the shock transmitted to the toes as the wearer walks with force on the toes, but also reduce foot fatigue.

[0056] The buffer tube (130) may have multiple ventilation holes (131) formed along the length of the front part to communicate with the interior.

[0057] The ventilation hole (131) allows air to flow to the toe plate (120), which can help prevent eczema or athlete's foot caused by sweat, etc. from occurring as air is delivered to the wearer's toes.

[0058] The shoe insole (100) may further include a cushioning means (140) accommodated inside the cushioning tube (130) as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

[0059] The buffer means (140) may include a plurality of buffer balls (141) and a connecting line (142) connecting the plurality of buffer balls (141).

[0060] The buffer ball (141) may be made of a porous sponge or the like.

[0061] The buffer ball (141) is made of sponge or the like, and can allow ventilation to the toe plate (120), and can also allow the contraction and relaxation of the buffer tube (130) to occur more smoothly.

[0062] The connecting line (142) can be made of thread or the like, and can connect a plurality of buffer balls (141) by passing through both sides of the buffer balls (141).

[0063] The buffer ball (141) can be fixed to the connecting line using an adhesive or the like.

[0064] Alternatively, the buffer means (140) may further include a flexible tube (143) coupled to the outside of the connecting line (142) so as to be positioned between adjacent buffer balls (141).

[0065] At this time, the two ends of the connecting line (142) may be knotted to form a protrusion or a separate detachment prevention member (not shown) may be provided to prevent detachment of the buffer ball (141) fixed to the two ends. Alternatively, the buffer ball (141) fixed to the two ends of the connecting line (142) may be fixed to the connecting line (142) by an adhesive or the like.

[0066] The flexible pipe (143) can be made of silicone or rubber, and can be positioned between the buffer balls (141) and (142) so that a plurality of buffer balls (142) are spaced apart at regular intervals.

[0067] The buffer means (140) may further include a moisture remover (144) inserted into the buffer ball (141) as shown in FIG. 11.

[0068] The moisture remover (144) may be made of silica gel or the like, and may be inserted into the interior of the buffer ball (141) in the form of granules.

[0069] To this end, the buffer ball (141) may have a hollow space formed inside, while a cut line (141a) connected to the inside may be formed on one side.

[0070] The moisture remover (144) is received inside the cushioning ball (141) through the incision line (141a) and can absorb sweat, etc. generated from the wearer's toes, thereby maintaining a comfortable state.

[0071] Due to this, the shoe insole (100) can enable comfortable wearing of the shoe through sweat absorption and ventilation.

[0072] The above description is merely an embodiment for implementing a shoe insole according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and as claimed in the following claims, it will be understood that the technical spirit of the present invention encompasses a range in which various modifications can be implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention by anyone having ordinary skill in the art.
