An article of footwear with a knitted component including an upper and an integral knit ankle cuff is provided. The upper and the ankle cuff are formed as a one-piece knit element. The knit element forms a portion of an exterior surface of the upper and an opposite interior surface of the upper, with the interior surface forming a void for receiving a foot. The ankle cuff is formed of unitary knit construction with the upper as a one-piece knit element and extends above a throat area of the upper. The ankle cuff includes malleolus zones on medial and lateral sides to correspond with the ankle bones of a wearer. The knit component further incorporates features to assist with providing entry for a foot of a wear, providing comfort to a wearer, and to assist with orientation of the upper of the article of footwear when being worn.

To improve the static fitting property and dynamic fitting property of a shell to a foot at a position behind the ankle of the foot of a wearer in a shoe provided with the flexible shell composed of an elastic material.SOLUTION: The shoe sidewall is provided with a flexible shell 10 made of an elastic material including a bottom 1A part and a peripheral wall part 12. In the peripheral wall part 12, a swelling part including an easily deformable part composed of a three dimensional mesh structural body swelling toward the insertion space SP3 side into which the feet of the wearing person are inserted is provided at a position corresponding to at least one of a part behind the inner malleolus point and a part behind the outer malleolus point of the feet of the wearing person. In the peripheral wall part 12, a high-rigidity part as a hard-to-deform part having higher rigidity than the easy-to-deform part is provided at a position below the part where the swelling part is provided. At least a portion of the peripheral wall portion 12 including the bulging portion and the high-rigidity portion is formed of a single member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

The invention discloses an arch self-adaptive sports shoe vamp structure based on an integrated sock sleeve and flying wings, which comprises a three-section type upper and lower integrated structure shoe body arranged on a sole, and the shoe body comprises a waterproof low section formed by a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) belt, a middle section made of a high-strength light material and an upper section made of a flyknit fabric which are connected in sequence. At least one inelastic flying wing is arranged on the shoe body, one end of each flying wing is fixedly connected to the edge of the inner side of the shoe sole, the other end of each flying wing is a free end, and the free ends can be attached to the arch, then extend towards the lateral malleolus and are attached to the lower area of the lateral malleolus of the shoe body. Each flying wing comprises a hard section, a flexible wrapping section and a flexible hook surface section which are connected in sequence, and the shoe body is correspondingly provided with a hair surface section which is bonded with the hook surface section. Performance optimization is achieved through a three-section type partition structure, the flying wings are used for generating horizontal pulling force to wrap the arch, black toes caused by forward rushing of the foot are prevented, meanwhile, additional support is provided for ankle joints, the ankle sprain risk is reduced, and self-adaptive non-compression wrapping of the arch is achieved.

A rear-entry ankle brace includes an elastomeric component defining an inside elbow channel configured to span an ankle joint. A channel opening extends the length of the elastomeric component for direct insertion on top of a leg. One or more leg straps are used to adjustably tension first and second rear edges of the channel opening toward one another and secure the brace to the lower leg. Two foot straps are used to adjustably tension first and second bottom edges of the channel opening toward one another and secure the brace to the mid-foot. The foot straps overlap on the bottom to define a plantar surface of the brace and cross over each other on the topside of the elastomeric component and are secured to a leg strap. A pair of stabilizing stirrups optionally are included on the inside surfaces of the elastomeric component and receive the malleoli.

The utility model discloses an auxiliary treatment device for posterior malleolus fracture, the auxiliary treatment device for posterior malleolus fracture is a self-shaping anti-slip steel plate, the self-shaping anti-slip steel plate is matched with a human posterior malleolus bone, and a plurality of screw holes are formed in the self-shaping anti-slip steel plate; through the design of the self-shaping anti-skid steel plate, the steel plate can be combined with the ankle joint of a patient to fix the ankle joint, the anatomical form of the posterior ankle is met, the ligament structure is not interfered, self shaping can be achieved in the operation, low incisura is achieved, and irritation to soft tissues such as posterior tendons is reduced or even eliminated, so that the medical cost is effectively reduced; the device has the advantages of being capable of accelerating the rehabilitation process of the wounded, good in fixing effect and good in self-plasticity.

The utility model relates to the technical field of clothes, and provides a hiking sock which comprises a sock leg, an ankle part and a sock body. A first connecting area is arranged at the bottom of the sock leg; one end of the ankle part is connected with the first connecting area, and the ankle part is provided with a medial malleolus protecting area, a lateral malleolus protecting area and a second connecting area for connecting the medial malleolus protecting area and the lateral malleolus protecting area corresponding to the medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus of the user; the elastic modulus value a of the medial malleolus protection area, the elastic modulus value b of the lateral malleolus protection area, the elastic modulus value c of the second connection area and the elastic modulus value d of the first connection area meet the following conditions: a < = b < d < c; the sock body is connected with the other end of the ankle part and used for wrapping the foot area of a user. By means of the structure, the medial malleolus protection area and the lateral malleolus protection area support the inner side and the outer side of the ankle respectively, and ankle sprain is avoided. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the ankle bone structure of the human body enables the ankle to turn inwards and sprain more easily, the elastic modulus of the medial malleolus protection area is smaller, support on the inner side of the ankle is enhanced, and the ankle of the user is prevented from turning inwards and sprain.

A sock with decorative strap as ankle and calf wrap is provided. The sock comprises a low-cut satin sock with edges below malleolus levels of a user and two vertical straps, one each attached at lower ends to sock edges at one of inside and outside areas of user ankle at attachment points forward of each malleolus. The sock also comprises binding fold-over elastic (FOE) covering the edges. The straps extend upward and wrap about a lower leg and tie in a bow at upper ends. The straps wrap in a crisscross and spiraling manner up the lower leg. Lower strap ends tuck inside the edges and inside the binding FOE. Lower ends tucking inside the binding FOE promote the lower ends not making contact with the user's skin. The system further comprises gel anti-slip features on a sole area. The straps are of length of about 26 inches each.

Shoe, comprehensive: a sole (2); and a shoe upper (10), wherein the shoe upper (10) comprises a shoe upper body (11), wherein the shoe upper body (11) comprises the following: an ankle opening (12) through which a foot of a wearer of the shoe (1) can be inserted into the shoe (1); and a stretchable section (15) made of a stretchable material, wherein the ankle opening (12) is arranged, viewed from the side, above a section corresponding to an imaginary line forming an upper section of a calcaneus (HL) of the foot of the wearer and upper sections of a tibial malleolus (MM) and a fibular malleolus (LM) of a tibia and connects one fibula to the other, wherein the stretchable section (15) forms a region of the shoe upper body (11) which includes a section corresponding to a center point of the tibial malleolus (MM) and a center point of the fibula malleolus (LM) of the wearer's foot and a position of the ankle opening (12), and wherein the stretchable section (15) is designed such that it can be deformed from an unstretched state to a stretched state and elastically returns from the stretched state to the unstretched state.
