- Discussion of Related Art
- A shoe may include a vamp to cover and protect the foot and soles, including, e.g., an insole, midsole, or insole. The vamp may be formed of leather or fabric. The soles may be formed of rubber, polyurethane (PU) foam, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, or other synthetic resins to provide durability. However, conventional shoes formed of such materials are heavy. To lighten up the shoes, the materials used for the shoes end up thickening. Thus, a need exists for shoes formed of lightweight materials.
- According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a lightweight shoe comprises an outsole and a vamp attached or sewn to the outsole to cover a foot. The vamp may include a foam member and a fiber layer to surround the foam member.

The inventive concept, however, may be modified in various different ways, and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” “coupled to,” or “adjacent to” another element or layer, it can be directly on, connected, coupled, or adjacent to the other element or layer, or intervening elements or layers may be present.
- Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference denotations may be used to refer to the same or similar elements throughout the specification and the drawings.
- Typically, the vamp, outsole, or midsole of a shoe may be formed of various materials and have a predetermined weight to maintain their basic shape and durability against friction. For example, the vamp, which is a portion of the shoe to surround the foot, may be generally formed by joining woven or knitted fabric pieces formed of various types of fiber to allow the shoe a predetermined level of durability while maintaining the shape of the shoe. The outsole and midsole, which are portions of the shoe exposed to the outside, may be formed of rubber, polyurethane (PU) foam or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam with a good anti-wear property. Such materials have a higher weight and poses a limit on lightening up the shoe. To make the shoe lighter, a cushioning sponge layer with a specific gravity of 0.12 or less and a lower hardness may be disposed. In such case, however, the outer wall of the sponge layer may be exposed, resulting in an increased compression deformation and reduced cushioning. Therefore, the shoe may be less comfortable. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a fiber layer or plastic layer may be formed on an outer surface of a foam member (e.g., a Styrofoam member) with a specific gravity of about 0.01 to about 0.09.
- When the shoe is formed of polyurethane foam or ethylene vinyl acetate foam with a specific gravity of 0.1 or less to reduce the weight of the shoe, the restoration of the shoe may be significantly reduced, thus rendering it difficult to maintain its shape and cushioning. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the foam member (e.g., a Styrofoam member) with a specific gravity of 0.01 to 0.09 may be used to form the shoe, and thus, the shoe may be lightened up while maintaining its restorative force.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a material used in a lightweight shoe according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 1 , a foam member (e.g., a Styrofoam member) 10 may be used as a basic material, and afiber layer 20 may surround thefoam member 10. Thefiber 20 may prevent scratches or damage to thefoam member 10. -
FIG. 2 is a side view illustrating a lightweight shoe according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein a magnified cross section of a vamp of the lightweight shoe is shown. Referring toFIG. 2 , a material including, e.g., afoam member 10 and afiber layer 20, to may be used to form avamp 110 of the lightweight shoe, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the lightweight shoe may include avamp 110, amidsole 120, and anoutsole 130. Thevamp 110 may be attached to themidsole 120 by, e.g., an adhesive, or may be sewn to themidsole 120. Thevamp 110 may be attached or fastened to themidsole 120 or a portion between themidsole 120 and theoutsole 130, or an edge of theoutsole 130. Although the lightweight shoe includes themidsole 120 and theoutsole 130 in the instant embodiment, this is merely an example, and alternatively, the lightweight shoe may include theoutsole 130 without themidsole 120. - The
vamp 110 may include a foam member 111 (e.g., a Styrofoam member) and afiber layer 112 surrounding thefoam member 111. Thevamp 110 may have various shapes. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, each component of the lightweight shoe may be formed in a unit, and such units may be combined or joined to form the lightweight shoe. For example, thevamp 110 may be formed by combining or joining multiple material units. The whole foam member may be formed of a single piece of Styrofoam, and the fiber layer may be formed to surround the foam member. When thevamp 110 is formed by combining multiple material units, thevamp 110 may secure flexibility without performing a separate forming process. - The
foam member 110 may be formed of at least one of expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), or expanded polyethylene (EPE). The specific gravity of thefoam member 111 may be about 0.01 to about 0.09. When the specific gravity of thefoam member 111 is more than 0.09, the shoe may be less lightened up, and when the specific gravity of thefoam member 111 is less than 0.01, the foam member may have a reduced restorative force, rendering it difficult to maintain the shape or cushioning of the shoe. - Expanded polystyrene (EPS), a sort of polystyrene, shows an excellent shock-absorption to effect and may be used for a thermal insulator thanks to its low thermal conductivity. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has a lower density and is recyclable.
- The
fiber layer 112 may include reinforced fiber, e.g., at least one of chemical fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber or ultra-high molecular weight resin fiber. Thefiber layer 112 may be formed of, e.g., woven or knitted fabric or unwoven fabric, but not limited thereto. - For example, when the
fiber layer 112 is formed of unwoven fabric, thefiber layer 112 may have a reduced apparent density along with increased air permeability. When thefiber layer 112 is formed of unwoven fabric, thefiber layer 112 may have a porous structure with a reduced apparent density, thereby leaving the overall weight of the shoe being reduced. - When the
fiber layer 112 is formed of aramid fiber, thefiber layer 112 may have an increased heat resistance along with an increased tensile strength and elasticity, thereby leading to increased durability. For example, thefiber layer 112 may be formed of aramid woven fabric with excellent rub resistance and easy to manufacture, but not limited thereto. Upon fabricating woven fabric, aramid fiber may be used as the warp to form a warp beam, and the warp beam may be mounted on a loom. Aramid fiber may then be used as the weft, thereby forming woven fabric. The aramid fabric may have a plain weave or basket weave. The plain weave or basket weave, because the warp and weft formed to have a predetermined curvature, may evenly distribute an external force to the overall fabric, thereby leading to increased rub resistance. - Examples of the ultra-high molecular weight resin fiber may include ultra-high molecular polyethylene, ultra-high molecular polypropylene, or ultra-high molecular polyester. Such ultra-high molecular weight resin fiber may be a substance with an average molecular mass of about 1 million or more, may have a structure of a linear molecular sieve, and may exhibit a good anti-wear property or strength. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the
vamp 110 includes thefiber layer 112, the anti-impact property may be increased. -

midsole 120 may include as foam member 121 (e.g., a Styrofoam member) and afiber layer 122 surrounding thefoam member 121.
