[0044] In existing shoes with cushioning functions, the cushioning element achieves the effect of shock absorption and cushioning by deforming in the vertical direction or changing the cavity volume. However, the force experienced by the wearer during walking or running is not only in the vertical direction. The cushioning element is less effective for impacts in non-vertical directions, especially for heavier wearers.

[0045] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, the present invention proposes a magnetic shoe 10.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, the magnetic shoe 10 includes an upper structure 100, a sole structure 200, and a magnetic shock-absorbing structure 300. The sole structure 200 is connected to the upper structure 100 and encloses a receiving cavity 400 for accommodating the foot. The receiving cavity 400 has an opening 410 for the foot to enter. The wearer can enter the receiving cavity 400 through the opening 410 so that the foot is wrapped by the magnetic shoe 10, which protects the foot and reduces impact.

[0047] In the embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, the magnetic shoes 10 further comprise a shoelace 500, which is a laceless shoelace 500, i.e. a shoelace 500 that does not need to be tightened or loosened by hand, providing a free and convenient way of putting on and taking off, and providing stable support and comfortable foot wrapping, and also helping to reduce the problem of entanglement and loosening of the shoelace 500.

[0048] Specifically, the laceless shoelace 500 is an elastically deformable looped shoelace 500, and the upper structure 100 has a shoelace hole 110, through which the looped shoelace 500 is arranged. In this way, the wearing of the magnetic shoes 10 can be achieved by the elastic deformation of the looped shoelace 500, and the looped shoelace 500 with elastic deformation can bring stable support and comfortable foot wrapping. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the laceless shoelace 500 can also be other connection modes, including but not limited to magnetic buckles, magic tapes.

[0049] In the embodiment, continuing to refer to FIG. 1, the upper structure 100 is further provided with a breathable hole 120, which can enhance the breathability of the upper structure 100 to achieve the effects of exhaust deodorization and enhanced comfort for the wearer. The manufacturer can freely set the area with the breathable hole 120 according to needs, which can be any part of the upper structure 100. In addition, in other embodiments, the upper structure 100 can not be provided with the breathable hole 120.

[0050] FIG. 3 schematically shows that the magnetic shock-absorbing structure 300 comprises a first magnetic element 310 and a second magnetic element 320, both of which are arranged in the sole structure 200. The magnetic coupling direction of the first magnetic element 310 is the vertical direction, and the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic element 320 is the first direction, which is arranged at an acute angle with the vertical direction. Among them, the magnetic coupling direction of the first magnetic element 310 is shown as F1 in FIG. 3, and the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic element 320 is shown as F2 in FIG. 3.

[0051] In the magnetic shoes 10 of the present application, the first magnetic element 310 with the magnetic coupling direction being the vertical direction and the second magnetic element 320 with the magnetic coupling direction being arranged at an acute angle with the vertical direction are arranged, which can not only provide the vertical direction shock-absorbing effect, but also provide buffer and protection for the ankle in the lateral direction, avoiding the sliding of the foot relative to the sole structure 200 or spraining the ankle.

[0052] Specifically, the included angle between the magnetic coupling direction of the first magnetic force element 310 and the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic force element 320 is a, and 30°≤a≤45°. When the included angle a is less than 30°, the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic force element 320 is close to the vertical direction, preventing the foot from sliding or the damping effect of preventing the ankle from being sprained is not enough, and when the included angle a is greater than 45°, the damping force of the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic force element 320 on the foot is too large, which will bring discomfort to the foot, and the wearing experience is poor.

[0053] In the present embodiment, continuing to refer to FIG. 3, the magnetic force element includes a first magnetic coupler 311 and a second magnetic coupler 312, one of the first magnetic coupler 311 and the second magnetic coupler 312 includes a magnet, and the other includes at least one of a magnet and a magnetic material. That is, the generation of the magnetic coupling force can not only be between the magnet and the magnet, but also between the magnet and the magnetic material, and the magnetic material includes but is not limited to an iron sheet, a cobalt sheet, and a nickel sheet.

[0054] Specifically, in combination with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the sole structure 200 includes a central area 210 and an edge area 220 arranged around the central area 210, the upper surface of the edge area 220 is inclined to the upper surface of the central area 210, the second magnetic force element 320 is adjacent to the first magnetic force element 310, the first magnetic force element 310 is located in the central area 210, and at least part of the second magnetic force element 320 is located in the edge area 220. In this way, the magnetic coupling direction F1 of the first magnetic force element 310 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the upper surface of the adjacent sole structure 200, and the magnetic coupling direction of the second magnetic force element 320 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the upper surface of the adjacent sole structure 200, so as to improve the damping efficiency of the magnetic force element.

[0055] Further, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, each magnetic force damping structure 300 includes one first magnetic force element 310 and two second magnetic force elements 320, and the two second magnetic force elements 320 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the first magnetic force element 310. In this way, the first magnetic force element 310 is opposite to the central area 210 of the wearer's heel, and the two second magnetic force elements 320 correspond to the left and right sides of the wearer's heel respectively, and the magnetic coupling force direction is shown in FIG. 3. It can be understood that if only one second magnetic force element 320 is arranged on one side of the first magnetic force element 310, the second magnetic force element 320 will cause the wearer's heel to be single-sidedly stressed while buffering the wearer's heel, so that the overall stress of the heel is unbalanced, which may affect the comfort of the wearer. Therefore, by arranging the second magnetic force element 320 on the opposite sides of the first magnetic force element 310 at the same time, the discomfort brought by single-sided stress to the wearer is avoided or alleviated.

[0056] In the embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the first magnetic force element 310 has two second magnetic force elements 320 on opposite sides, and the magnetic coupling directions F2 of the two second magnetic force elements 320 are symmetrical to the magnetic coupling direction F1 of the first magnetic force element 310, so that the force on both sides of the wearer's heel is uniform, and the omnidirectional and full-coverage shock absorption effect can be achieved.

[0057] Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, the sole structure 200 includes a forefoot region 201, a midfoot region 202 and a heel region 203 arranged in sequence, and the forefoot region 201 and the heel region 203 are both provided with the magnetic force shock absorption structure 300. In this way, good shock absorption and buffering effect can be provided for the joints of the wearer's heel, toe and metatarsal bone, and the force on the wearer's foot is more uniform, and the comfort is better. It can be understood that the manufacturer can adjust the number and distribution position of the magnetic force shock absorption structure 300 according to needs, for example, the magnetic force shock absorption structure 300 can be arranged in the midfoot region 202, which is not limited in the present application.

[0058] In the embodiment, continuing to refer to FIG. 4, the sole structure 200 further includes a shock absorption pad 230, which is located on top of the magnetic force shock absorption structure 300, and the shock absorption pad 230 is matched with the magnetic force shock absorption structure 300. The shock absorption pad 230 is in contact with the wearer's foot or indirectly contacts the wearer's foot through the insole 600. Correspondingly, the shock absorption pad 230 includes a central region 210 and an edge region 220 surrounding the central region 210, the upper surface of the edge region 220 is inclined to the upper surface of the central region 210, and the central region 210 and the edge region 220 are both provided with protrusions 231. In this way, the protrusions 231 can cooperate with the corresponding magnetic force elements to achieve the best buffering and shock absorption effect, and the protrusions 231 also have the effect of foot bottom massage, which can bring the wearer a more comfortable wearing experience.

[0059] In the embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the magnetic force shoe 10 further includes an insole 600, and the insole 600 is filled with loose granular materials 610. The granular materials 610 can include one or more polymer foam materials, such as ethylene vinyl acetate or polyurethane, and the granular materials 610 can also include foam beads. Different granular materials 610 are arranged freely, and the volume and density can be the same or different. Since the granular materials 610 themselves have elasticity, when filled in the insole 600, they form small cavities, so that the insole 600 has the functions of shock absorption and odor prevention.

[0060] Specifically, the side of the insole 600 is provided with sweat-removing structures 620, which include a plurality of V-shaped grooves 621 arranged in sequence to achieve better sweat-removing and odor-preventing effects. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the V-shaped grooves 621 can be replaced by U-shaped grooves, square grooves, etc. In addition, the number of the sweat-removing structures 620 is multiple, and the plurality of sweat-removing structures 620 are arranged at intervals on the side of the insole 600, which is not limited in the present application.

[0061] Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the sole structure 200 is further provided with anti-skid lines 700, which are located on the side of the sole structure 200 away from the upper structure 100. In the present embodiment, the number of the anti-skid lines 700 is multiple, and the plurality of grid-shaped anti-skid lines 700 are arranged at intervals on the lower surface of the sole structure 200. Of course, the manufacturer can adjust the shape, number and arrangement position of the anti-skid lines 700 according to the needs, which is not limited in the present application.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the sole structure 200 is further provided with a shock-absorbing layer 240, which is arranged inside the sole structure 200. The shock-absorbing layer 240 is composed of an elastic material with strong recovery deformation ability, which can provide a certain resilience to the sole structure 200 to improve the buffering effect. The elastic material can be natural rubber, artificial synthetic rubber, foamed TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), etc. Of course, the shock-absorbing layer 240 can also be an air bag cavity, which realizes resilience through the change of the volume of the air bag cavity.

[0063] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar ways, but will not deviate from the scope defined by the spirit of the present application.
