Description

A type of children's insole

[0001] A technology in children's insoles

[0002] This utility model belongs to the field of shoe technology, and specifically refers to a children's insole.

[0003] Background Technology

[0004] The foot is the lowest part of the human body that contacts the ground. It is an important weight-bearing and locomotor organ, and like other parts of the human body, it is a living organism. It is composed of skin, ligaments, sweat glands, blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and bones. The function of shoes is to help the foot move, support the foot, protect the foot from injury, and ultimately achieve the goals of exercise and aesthetics. The foot is a human organ that is easily reshaped and flexible. Due to the different types of shoes, its center of gravity and volume change when in contact with the ground. It easily adapts to heat, pressure, humidity, and changeable climate. Wearing the right shoes can prevent foot injuries and help the foot walk farther, faster, and with less effort.

[0005] Because children are more active, the insoles of children's shoes need to be of higher quality, requiring better anti-slip properties and comfort.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a children's insole with better anti-slip properties and comfort.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0009] A children's insole includes a forefoot portion, a midfoot portion, and a rearfoot portion arranged sequentially from front to back. The forefoot portion has multiple first anti-slip protrusions evenly distributed on its upper surface; the rearfoot portion has an elliptical cushioning pouch on its upper surface; the forefoot portion has several first anti-slip stripes at its front end on its lower surface; the forefoot portion has multiple second anti-slip protrusions evenly distributed in its middle portion; the rearfoot portion has multiple third anti-slip protrusions evenly distributed in its middle portion; the midfoot portion has multiple second anti-slip stripes on its outer side on its lower surface; and anti-slip grooves are provided on the inner side of the midfoot portion and the inner side of the forefoot portion near the midfoot portion. The first anti-slip stripe on the forefoot corresponds to the toes, the second anti-slip protrusion corresponds to the metatarsals, the midfoot corresponds to the arch, and the rearfoot corresponds to the heel. The first anti-slip protrusion on the upper side of the forefoot increases friction between the child's foot and the insole, preventing slippage and discomfort or injury. Since children mostly land on their heels first when walking, the cushioning pad on the rearfoot effectively reduces pressure on the heel during walking, improving comfort. The front of the insole primarily bears the force of the backward movement caused by toe alignment. The design of the first anti-slip stripe increases the friction between the front of the insole and the shoe in the front-back direction. The environment at the position of the insole corresponding to the metatarsal bone is relatively complex, with both front-back and lateral forces. The second anti-slip protrusion at this position can effectively cope with the complex environment and prevent the insole from sliding relative to the shoe. The same applies to the lower side of the heel. In summary, by setting corresponding anti-slip stripes and anti-slip protrusions at various positions, this application can prevent the insole from sliding between the shoe and the foot, thereby improving comfort and safety.

[0010] In the aforementioned children's insole, a hook-shaped water-guiding groove is provided at the rear end of the lower side of the forefoot, and an annular groove is provided on the lower side of the forefoot. All the second anti-slip protrusions are located within the annular space enclosed by the annular groove, which communicates with the water-guiding groove. Because children are active and frequently experience water entering their shoes, a water layer exists between the insole and the shoe when water gets inside, causing traditional anti-slip protrusions or stripes to become ineffective and fail to provide anti-slip protection. This is especially true for the forefoot, which is prone to slipping and wrinkling. The design of the aforementioned water-guiding groove and annular groove allows water to be drained from the second anti-slip protrusions when the foot is stepped on, enabling the second anti-slip protrusions to regain their anti-slip effect. Furthermore, the negative pressure generated after draining the water makes the connection between the insole and the shoe tighter and more secure, improving adaptability and anti-slip performance.

[0011] In one of the aforementioned children's insoles, at least one end of the first anti-slip strip extends to the edge of the forefoot. This design, where the first anti-slip strip extends to the edge of the forefoot, allows water to be drained from between adjacent first anti-slip strips when the shoe gets wet, enabling the first anti-slip strips to regain their anti-slip effect, thus improving adaptability and anti-slip performance.

[0012] In the aforementioned children's insole, the inner rear edge of the forefoot, the inner and outer edges of the midfoot, and the edge of the heel are all formed with flanges. These flanges provide a wrapping effect for the mid-to-rear part of the foot, improving comfort and providing slip resistance.

[0013] In the aforementioned children's insole, the forefoot, midfoot, and heel sections are each composed of a fabric layer, a sponge layer, and an Ortholyte layer, from top to bottom. Because Ortholyte foam itself is breathable, absorbent, odor-resistant, mildew-resistant, antibacterial, and provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, the Ortholyte layer enhances wearing comfort. Simultaneously, the Ortholyte foam also provides slip resistance, preventing the insole from shifting easily and ensuring it adheres tightly to the bottom of the shoe, thus increasing the insole's anti-slip performance.

[0014] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0015] This invention prevents slippage between the insole and the shoe or the foot by setting corresponding anti-slip stripes and anti-slip protrusions at various locations, thereby improving comfort and safety.

[0021] Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, see Figures 1-3:

[0023] This children's insole includes a forefoot part 1, a midfoot part 2, and a rearfoot part 3 arranged sequentially from front to back. The upper side of the forefoot part 1 is evenly distributed with multiple first anti-slip protrusions 4. The upper side of the rearfoot part 3 is provided with an oval-shaped cushioning pouch 5. The front end of the lower side of the forefoot part 1 is provided with several first anti-slip stripes 6. The middle part of the lower side of the forefoot part 1 is evenly distributed with multiple second anti-slip protrusions 7. The middle part of the lower side of the rearfoot part 3 is evenly distributed with multiple third anti-slip protrusions 8. The outer side of the lower side of the midfoot part 2 is provided with multiple second anti-slip stripes 9. The inner side of the lower side of the midfoot part 2 and the inner side of the lower side of the forefoot part 1 near the midfoot part 2 are both provided with anti-slip grooves 10. The first anti-slip stripe 6 on the forefoot 1 corresponds to the toes, the second anti-slip protrusion 7 corresponds to the metatarsals, the midfoot 2 corresponds to the arch of the foot, and the rearfoot 3 corresponds to the heel. The first anti-slip protrusion 4 on the upper side of the forefoot 1 increases friction between the child's foot and the insole, preventing slippage and discomfort or even injury. Since children mostly land on their heels first when walking, the cushioning pouch 5 on the rearfoot 3 effectively relieves pressure on the heel during walking, improving comfort. The front of the insole primarily bears the force applied by the toes. The design of the first anti-slip stripe 6 increases the friction between the front end of the insole and the shoe in the front-back direction. The environment at the position of the insole and the metatarsal bone is relatively complex, with both front-back and lateral forces. The second anti-slip protrusion 7 set in this position can effectively cope with the complex environment and prevent the insole and the shoe from sliding relative to each other. The same applies to the lower side of the heel 3. In summary, by setting corresponding anti-slip stripes and anti-slip protrusions at various positions, this application can prevent the insole from sliding between the shoe and the foot, thereby improving comfort and safety.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the rear end of the lower side of the forefoot 1 is provided with a hook-shaped water guide groove 11, and the lower side of the forefoot 1 is provided with an annular groove 12. All the second anti-slip protrusions 7 are provided in the annular space enclosed by the annular groove 12, and the groove is connected to the water guide groove 11. At least one end of the first anti-slip stripe 6 extends to the edge of the forefoot 1. Because children are active, their shoes often get wet. When shoes get wet, a layer of water forms between the insole and the shoe, causing traditional anti-slip protrusions or stripes to become ineffective and lose their anti-slip effect. This is especially true for the forefoot area 1, which is prone to slipping and wrinkling. The design of the water channel 11 and the annular groove 12 can drain the water located at the second anti-slip protrusion 7 when the foot is stepped on, allowing the second anti-slip protrusion 7 to regain its anti-slip effect. Furthermore, the negative pressure generated after draining the water can make the connection between the insole and the shoe tighter and more secure, which is beneficial to improving adaptability and anti-slip effect. The design of the first anti-slip stripe 6 extending to the edge of the forefoot area 1 can drain the water between adjacent first anti-slip stripes 6 when the shoe gets wet, allowing the first anti-slip stripe 6 to regain its anti-slip effect, which is beneficial to improving adaptability and anti-slip effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner rear edge of the forefoot 1, the inner and outer edges of the midfoot 2, and the edge of the hindfoot 3 are all formed with flanges 13. The design of the flanges 13 can wrap around the middle and rear of the foot, which not only improves comfort but also prevents slipping.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3, the forefoot 1, midfoot 2, and rearfoot 3 are each divided into a fabric layer 14, a sponge layer 15, and an Ortholyte layer 16 from top to bottom. Because Ortholyte foam itself has excellent breathability, sweat absorption, odor resistance, mildew resistance, antibacterial properties, and shock absorption, the Ortholyte layer 16 improves wearing comfort. At the same time, Ortholyte foam also provides slip resistance, preventing the insole from easily shifting and ensuring it adheres tightly to the bottom of the shoe, thus increasing the insole's anti-slip performance.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
