STRUCTURE OF SHOE
A structure of shoe includes a shoe body and a reinforcement structure. The reinforcement structure is coupled to the shoe body to support the shoe body. The shoe body has an opening that receives a foot of a wearer therein. The shoe body is integrally formed and includes a woven structure. No sewing is needed for the shoe structure.
The present invention relates to a structure of shoe, and in particular to a structure of shoe that is integrally formed of a woven structure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA known shoe is often of poor ventilation due to the material used and may sometimes causes an uncomfortable feeling. A user's foot is often enclosed in the shoe for a substantial amount of time so that if the shoe is of poor ventilation, disease may easily caused on the foot. Further, in the traditional way of manufacturing shoes, a large amount of material is lost during the process of cutting, jointing, and trimming. This causes an environmental issue and also increases the manufacture cost of shoes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONDue to the shortcomings of the prior art, it is desired to have a structure of shoe that saves material used and provides air permeability and hygroscopicity in order to overcome the above-discussed problems. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure of shoe, which is an integrally-formed shoe that is free of sewing arrangement, saves the material cost and manufacturing cost of the structure of shoe.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure of shoe that comprises an upper that completely complies with human engineering so as to be well suited to the wearer's foot, comfortable, and completely enclosing and provides an effect of hygroscopicity and air permeability.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a structure of shoe, which is of wide applications in various functional shoes, indoor shoes, and outdoors sports shoes according to different needs.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a structure of shoe, which has excellent elasticity so that the shoe, when worn on a wearer, is in close and compliant engagement with the wearer, just like a second skin, making the wearer feel comfortable when wearing the shoe.
According to the above objects, the present invention provides a structure of shoe, which comprises a shoe body and a reinforcement structure coupled to the shoe body to support the shoe body. The shoe body comprises at least one opening that is adapted to receive a foot of a wearer therein. The shoe body comprises a woven structure.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shoe body comprises meshes.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the structure of shoe further comprises an outsole structure, which is arranged on bottom of the shoe body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shoe structure further comprises a tongue provided in a fore portion of the shoe body to expose a portion of the opening and integrally formed with the shoe body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shoe structure further comprises a counter, which is provided in a rear portion of the shoe body and is integrally formed with the shoe body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement structure is arranged on an inside surface of the shoe body and is integrally formed with the shoe body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement structure is arranged on an outside surface of the shoe body and is integrally formed with the shoe body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcement structure is arranged on entirety of the shoe body.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description of preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the drawings, in which:
The present invention provides a structure of shoe, which is a structure of shoe that is integrally formed and comprises a woven structure and the structure of shoe comprises no sewing arrangement, provides excellent elasticity, and saves cost of material. For a throughout understanding of the present invention, details of steps and structures of the present invention will be descried. Any manufacturing process and specific steps for manufacturing the structure of shoe that are well known in the art will not be descried in order not to impose undue limitations to the present invention. However, details of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be given hereinafter and beyond these descriptions, the present invention is equally applicable to a variety of embodiments. The scope of the present invention is not to be limited by the descriptions and is only defined in the appended claims.

Next, referring to
The shoe structure 1 according to the present invention may be provided with additional components for functionality. Continuously referring to
Next, the shoe structure 1 may further comprise a counter 18, which is provided in the rear section 120 of the shoe body 10 and may be positioned on the inside surface 101, the outside surface 102, or both the inside surface 101 and outside surface 102 of the rear section 120. Providing the counter 18 helps improve the supporting force of a hind portion 128 and also protects the heel of the wearer from damage caused by walking or exercising.
Thus, according to the above embodiments, the shoe structure 1 that comprises the shoe body 10, the outsole structure 14, the tongue 16, and the counter 18 is obtained, as shown in
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
