Description

Insole structure

The invention relates to an insole structure, in particular to an insole structure having a more disassembled upper pad. When the upper pad is dirty, the upper pad is replaced or the upper pad is cleaned, and the insole structure is not required to be washed or discarded.

The main point of the functional insole is that it is the support of the arch, or the design of the breathable anti-foot, or the combination of the shock-absorbing material to reduce the pressure on the sole of the foot, and the insole that appeals to the function is more expensive. Insole is expensive, and in order to make a functional insole, it usually causes an increase in the number of manufacturing processes, resulting in cumbersome production, and in order to achieve one of the functions, it is usually necessary to discard other functions, such as: breathable insole, usually the support effect is not Good, therefore, the conventional insole is difficult to concentrate on one. Furthermore, the insole supported by the arch is usually recommended by a professional physician for the correction of the arch, so that the cost of the corrective insole is higher, and in order to correct the arch, it is necessary to abandon the functions of shock absorption, ventilation and ventilation.

Although the conventional insole has a plurality of functions, the face layer is usually not removed from the foam layer of the main body, because the face layer is tightly bonded to the foam layer, and when the face layer is damaged or dirty, the use is used. Usually, the insole can only be discarded and replaced, or the entire insole can be brushed. Thus, the foam layer absorbs moisture and is damp, which reduces the service life of the insole.

Furthermore, it is necessary to stack and fix the insole of the multi-layer material in order, and to maintain the smoothness of the surface, which is very cumbersome and time-consuming in the production process. In particular, if other functions are to be added, the structure must be improved, and the production process is cumbersome and inevitable. Many working hours lead to increased costs, which in turn causes consumers to spend more to purchase, resulting in a financial burden on consumers.

Therefore, when the user's foot portion 5 is stepped on the upper pad 1, the upper pad 1 is restricted by the coupling member 23 of the lower pad 2, so it does not advance. Moving backwards or left and right, the user can walk stably, the foot 5 does not have an uncomfortable feeling, and the foam 21 has independent closed bubbles, and has the advantages of light weight and sufficient supporting force. At the same time, it combines the characteristics of shock absorption and cushioning to reduce the force when the user presses the foot. Moreover, since the joint between the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 is not tight and there is a gap, when the user walks, the upper pad 1 will be pressed against the lower pad 2, so that the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 will open and close. And the closing action, in order to drive the airflow, and quickly bring out the heat energy of the sole to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation; further, since the upper pad 1 and the lower pad 2 are detachable and combined, when the upper pad 1 uses a section When the time or dirt is generated, the user can remove the upper pad 1 from the lower pad 2 and replace the new upper pad 1 to achieve cost saving.
