TWM673148U - Footbed replacement shoe structure - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Footbed Replacement Shoe Structure that utilizes a foot pressure measuring device to obtain the user's foot data, including foot posture and arch index. Based on these data, a custom-made support pad is designed. The insole comprises an insole body and a customized support pad, where the support pad is embedded into a groove corresponding to the arch area of the insole body. By adjusting the thickness and shape of the support pad, the deformation of the insole surface is modified to effectively support the arch of the foot. This invention improves the distribution of foot pressure, enhances the user's comfort, and is applicable to various types of athletic and everyday footwear.

Description

Foot-shaped pads replace the shoe structure

This invention involves the field of footwear accessory technology, specifically a shoe insole structure that can be customized according to the user's individual foot shape.

Today's traditional insole structures primarily utilize standardized designs to suit the needs of most consumers. However, they often lack support tailored to individual foot shapes, particularly in terms of arch support. While elastic or foam materials may provide short-term comfort, they can easily deform over extended use, resulting in reduced support and, in turn, impacting foot stability and comfort.

In addition, some existing technologies are beginning to use replaceable blocks for customized adjustments. These blocks typically have different hardness levels or shapes, allowing users to select the appropriate block and insert it into the corresponding area of the insole to improve support.

However, the aforementioned interchangeable block design has significant limitations. First, these blocks are pre-manufactured, with standardized shapes and sizes, making it difficult to precisely adjust to individual foot morphologies, especially those with varying arch shapes. Second, because they lack a customized design based on individual foot pressure data, even with interchangeable blocks of varying hardness, they still cannot provide precise support. This is especially true for those with unique foot shapes (such as flat feet or high arches), as existing insole structures are unable to meet their specific needs.

Finally, some technologies utilize pre-set support structures, such as built-in rigid support panels or foam padding. However, once these designs are fixed, they cannot be adjusted, potentially increasing wearer discomfort. Regarding insole materials, while some improved polymer materials or memory foams have been used, their support strength and durability remain limited, preventing them from maintaining deformation and support over time. Therefore, insole products currently on the market still have room for improvement in terms of customization, arch support, and durability.

Therefore, the present inventors, in response to the aforementioned problems faced by existing shoe manufacturers, conducted intensive research and applied theoretical knowledge. Drawing on years of design, development, and implementation experience in the relevant industry, they addressed the shortcomings of existing shoe structures and ultimately successfully developed a foot-shaped insole replacement shoe structure that overcomes the difficulties and inconveniences associated with existing shoe manufacturers.

Therefore, the primary purpose of this invention is to provide an insole structure that can be customized based on the user's foot shape, resolving the problem of insufficient support provided by traditional insoles. This design primarily uses a foot pressure measurement device to measure the user's foot shape and arch index, and accordingly creates a custom-made support pad. This pad fits into a groove in the insole corresponding to the arch. The pad's shape and thickness can be 3D-printed to suit the foot's shape, and the material hardness and surface resistance-enhancing texture can be adjusted as needed to achieve optimal support and anti-slip performance.

In addition, the insole of this invention can also be equipped with additional grooves in the forefoot and heel to provide more comprehensive foot support.

Based on this, this invention primarily achieves the aforementioned objectives and effects through the following technical means: it comprises at least one insole body having a footbed surface, a bottom surface, and an annular side surface. The annular side surface is provided with a first groove corresponding to the arch of the human foot.

A support pad is custom-made and embedded in the first groove. Its thickness and shape cause the footbed of the insole body to deform accordingly, effectively supporting the arch of the foot.

Thus, through the concrete implementation of the above-mentioned technical means, the composite lathe structure of this creation is achieved.

To help you, the Review Committee, better understand the structure, features, and other purposes of this invention, several preferred embodiments of this invention are listed below, along with detailed illustrations. These examples will also enable those familiar with the technology to implement them.

This invention is a foot-shaped insole replacement shoe structure (100). In the specific embodiments of this invention and its components illustrated in the accompanying drawings, all references to front and back, left and right, top and bottom, upper and lower, and horizontal and vertical are only used for the convenience of description and do not limit this invention or its components to any position or spatial direction. The dimensions specified in the drawings and description can be changed according to the design and requirements of this invention without departing from the scope of the patent application of this invention.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, which specifically show a foot-shaped insole replacement shoe structure, comprising an insole body (10) having a shoe bed surface (11), a bottom surface (12) and an annular side surface (13), wherein the annular side surface (13) is provided with a first groove (131) corresponding to the arch of the human foot; a supporting pad (20), wherein the supporting pad (20) is After obtaining relevant parameters such as human foot posture and arch index through a foot pressure measuring machine, it is customized through 3D printing and other molding methods, and is embedded in the first groove (131). Through the thickness and appearance of the supporting pad (20), the shoe bed surface (11) of the insole body (10) produces corresponding deformation, thereby effectively supporting the position of the human arch.

Furthermore, the aforementioned support pad (20) has a supporting portion (21) and a closing portion (22). The supporting portion mainly provides the shoe bed (11) with a corresponding shape to support the arch or sole of the foot, and further closes the first groove (131) through the closing portion (22) to maintain the integrity of the appearance.

The supporting portion (21) of the supporting pad (20) has a plurality of resistance-increasing patterns (211).

Please refer to Figures 5 and 6, which are another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The circumferential side surface (13) of the insole body (10) can be provided with a second groove (132) corresponding to the forefoot of the human body, and the circumferential side surface (13) of the insole body (10) can be provided with a third groove (133) corresponding to the heel of the human body.

In summary, the insole body (10) of the invention has a shoe bed surface (11), a bottom surface (12) and an annular side surface (13). The annular side surface (13) is provided with a first groove (131) corresponding to the arch of the foot. After measuring the foot pressure, the user designs and manufactures the support pad according to the data obtained. The support pad is made by 3D printing technology. Its support part (21) has multiple resistance-increasing patterns (211) to enhance the anti-slip effect, and includes a closed part (22) to be fixed in the first groove (131).

This design can prevent the support pad (20) from moving or falling off during use, and the insole body (10) can be further provided with second and third grooves (132, 133) at the forefoot and heel to place other customized support pads (20) to achieve a more comprehensive foot support effect.
