Abstract

A structure (1) of a high-heeled shoe of which the heel (13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73) is designed to be not in a neither a tiny style nor a block style, but the structure (1) has at least a surface which presents a particular shape, the particular shape can be selected at ones will from the groups including letters, numbers, helical shape or figures of some marks etc. The shape can allow designing in pursuance of requirement of customers (namely a mode of customized designing), therefore character of a user can be manifested, and a mark of a company can also be manifested.

Description

The present invention relates to the structure of a high-heeled shoe, and especially to a high-heeled shoe with a specified style of heel.
The function of a shoe is not only to protect a foot of a user, but also to provide an effect of decoration. People know well to show their statuses by taking advantage of modeling designs and noble materials for the structure of a pair of shoes. Particularly with high-heeled shoes, such advantage can evidently provide an effect of increasing the height of a user, and are necessary for ladies.
As stated above, the structure of a conventional pair of shoes most is used to show particular modeling designs and materials, while the heels of the shoes only have two kinds of designs including tiny style and block style heel designs. In related prior art, patents of shoes mostly have added designs for the structures of heels of shoes, for instance, modality patents including M385251 titled "ELASTIC HEEL FOR A HIGH-HEELED SHOE", M383940 "HIGH-HEELED SHOE STRUCTURE WITH THE HEIGHT OF ITS HEEL RANDOMLY ADJUSTABLE", M375409 "HIGH-HEELED SHOE UNIT WITH THE HEIGHT OF ITS HEEL ADJUSTABLE" and M348500 "THE ADJUSTABLE LEVEL SHOES" etc. in Taiwan all provide adjustable heels in heights.
However, these conventional high-heeled shoes do have variation in structure, modeling and material, they are generally similar in contour and provide poor effect, and improvement is wanted.
In view of the above defect of conventional high-heeled shoes, the present invention provides a structure of a high-heeled shoe, of which the heel is designed to be not in a neither a tiny style nor a block style, but at least has a particular shape, the particular shape can be selected at ones will from the groups including letters, numbers, helical shape or figures of some marks etc. Therefore, in a mode of customized design, character of a user can be manifested, and a mark of a company can also be manifested.
In view of the above, the present invention provides a structure of a high-heeled shoe, the structure comprises:

A sole having a raised and rearward tilting portion;
a covering portion being at least provided above a front upper surface of the sole to cover a foot of a user;
a heel of a shape neither in a tiny style nor a block style, having a height and being provided between the tilting portion of the sole and the ground, at least having a surface which presents a particular shape, the particular shape can be selected at ones will from the groups including letters, numbers, helical shape or figures of some marks etc.

The structure of a high-heeled shoe of the present invention of which the particular shape of the heel had better is presented on a lateral side of the sole.
The present invention will be apparent in its structural feature and effect of use from the detailed description of an embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.
Preferred embodiments are described below by way of example only with reference to Figures 1 to 8 of the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing use of the embodiment of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 8 is a side view of a seventh embodiment of the present invention.

Referring firstly to Fig. 1 showing the first embodiment of the present invention, here the present invention provides a structure 1 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 11, a covering portion 12 and a heel 13.
The sole 11 of the present invention has a tilting portion 111 raised toward its rear direction, the covering portion 12 is provided above a front upper surface of the sole 11 to cover a foot 91 of a user such as is shown in Fig. 2. The heel 13 is neither in a tiny style nor a block style, but has a height and is provided between the tilting portion 111 of the sole 11 and the ground 92; the heel 13 at least has a particular shape, being selected from the groups including letters, numbers or figures of some marks etc. The particular shape as shown in the drawing is a letter "C", this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 11.
Referring to Fig. 3 showing the second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 2 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 21, a covering portion 22 and a heel 23, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 23 in the drawing is a letter "X", this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 11.
Referring to Fig. 4 showing the third embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 3 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 31, a covering portion 32 and a heel 33, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 33 in the drawing is a letter "6", this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 31.
Referring to Fig. 5 showing the fourth embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 4 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 41, a covering portion 42 and a heel 43, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 43 in the drawing is a figure "$", this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 41.
Referring to Fig. 6 showing the fifth embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 5 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 51, a covering portion 52 and a heel 53, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 53 in the drawing is a letter "ε", this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 51.
Referring to Fig. 7 showing the sixth embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 6 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 61, a covering portion 62 and a heel 63, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 63 in the drawing is a figure of a mark, for instance, a mark of a company, this shape can be seen toward a side of the sole 61.
Referring to Fig. 8 showing the seventh embodiment of the present invention, wherein the present invention provides a structure 7 of a high-heeled shoe, the shoe comprises a sole 71, a covering portion 72 and a heel 73, it is different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the particular shape of the heel 73 in the drawing is a helical shape.
Evidently, the particular shape of a high-heeled shoe of the present invention including a letter, a number, a helical shape or a figure etc. can allow designing in pursuance of requirement of customers, the design can be a mode of customized design, thus character of a user can be manifested, and a mark of a company can also be manifested. The present invention can thus provide better effect of functional designing as compared with the conventional high-heeled shoe with a tiny style or a block style heel.
The high-heeled shoe provided in the present invention meets the requirement of novelty and advancing of a patent, what I claim as new and desire to be secured by Letters Patent of Europe is:
