Abstract: A moisture-permeable waterproof shoe includes an upper made of a jacquard woven fabric, and an inner sleeve body fixed to an inner surface of the upper and including a three-dimensional sleeve portion, and a moisture-permeable waterproof membrane attached to the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion includes two layered structures connected to and cooperating with each other to define a foot space. Each layered structure includes an outer fabric layer, a lining fabric layer and an intermediate foam layer. A connecting layer connects the moisture-permeable waterproof membrane to the inner surface of the upper. A sole is fixed to a bottom end of the upper and a bottom portion of the inner sleeve body.

Abstract: A three-dimensional sock-shoe includes a shoe sole, a sock body having a bottom portion connected to the shoe sole, and a foam sleeve inserted into the sock body. The foam sleeve has a shape corresponding to that of the sock body, defines a three-dimensional foot space, and is made by stitching together at least two layered structures. The foam sleeve successively consists of an inner lining layer, a foam layer and an outer fabric layer. At least one adhesive layer is disposed between the outer fabric layer and the sock body to adhere the outer fabric layer to the sock body.

Abstract: A rigid three-dimensional sock-shoe includes a shoe sole, a three-dimensional sock, and a tightening unit disposed transversely on the three-dimensional sock. The sock includes a sock sole connected to the shoe sole, and a sock upper connected to and cooperating with the sock sole to define a foot space. The sock is composed of a sock lining, a first adhesive layer, a waterproof sleeve, a second adhesive layer and a sock main body that are arranged in order from the inside to the outside thereof. The first adhesive layer connects the sock lining to the waterproof sleeve. The second adhesive layer connects the waterproof sleeve to the sock main body. Each of the sock main body and the sock lining is a one-piece woven sock.

Abstract: A method of making a breathable and windproof vamp includes: (a) providing outer and inner fabric layers; (b) forming a breathable and windproof resin layer on one of the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer; (c) dispensing a plurality of spaced-apart glue dots on the resin layer or on the other one of the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer; (d) connecting the inner and outer fabric layers in such a manner that the glue dots and the resin layer are interposed between the inner and outer fabric layers, and the inner and outer fabric layers are adhered with each other through the spaced-apart glue dots so as to obtain a fabric laminate; and (e) cutting and forming the fabric laminate into a vamp.

Abstract: A sole construction includes a midsole and a sole layer. The midsole is made of a transparent polyurethane material and has a toe portion, a heel portion, a plurality of side-by-side adjacent air cavities, and a plurality of walls which confine the air cavities. The walls include a base wall, a plurality of resilient upright partition walls formed on the base wall, and a transparent peripheral wall which extends upwardly from the base wall so as to surround the air cavities and the partition walls. Each of the cavities is open at one side opposing the base wall. The sole layer is adhesively bonded so as to cover the side of the midsole opposite to the base wall. A plurality of light emitting units can be disposed in the air cavities located along the peripheral wall in order to emit light from the periphery of the midsole.
