Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a golf shoe structure, and more particularly, to golf shoes with a shift structure for shifting the center of gravity of a golfer.
  • Golf swing includes addressing the ball, upswing, downswing, follow through, and finish.
  • the feet of the golfer are parallel to the target line.
  • the center of gravity of the golfer is averaged to both sides of the body in order to maintain the body's balance and stability.
  • the center of gravity of the body is shifted to the right foot, and the back of the golfer's body faces the target.
  • the center of gravity is shifted from the right foot to the left foot along with the turning of the body, and the front of the golfer's body faces the target.
  • the center of gravity of the body is almost at the left foot until the golfer performs the finish motion.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide golf shoes with a shift structure for shifting the center of gravity of a golfer when the golfer swings the club. When the golfer performs a finish, the center of gravity of the golfer is shifted to the outside of the left heel.
  • golf shoes with a shift structure for shifting the center of gravity of a golfer of the present invention comprises two shoe soles.
  • Each shoe sole has a first raised portion at a right side thereof.
  • the first raised portion facilitates the center of gravity of the golfer to be eccentric in a target direction.
  • the center of gravity of the golfer is shifted to the outside of the left heel.
  • the first raised portion facilitates the center of gravity of the golfer to be eccentric in the target direction.
  • the center of gravity of the golfer is shifted from the right foot to the outside of the left heel of the left foot, and the front of the golfer's body is turned in the target direction to swing his/her hands simultaneously so as to hit the golf ball correctly.
  • the golfer can swing the club with a shift of his/her center of gravity to make the stroke more strong and effortless and reduce the risk of injury.

  • the present invention discloses golf shoes with a shift structure for shifting the center of gravity of a golfer, and comprises two shoe soles 10 .
  • the two shoe soles 10 may be insoles or outsoles. This embodiment takes insoles as an example.
  • a right side of a bottom surface of each shoe sole 10 is provided with a first raised portion 11 .
  • the first raised portion 11 has a width of about 3 cm to 4 cm.
  • the shoe sole 10 and the first raised portion 11 have a total height of about 1 cm to 5 cm.
  • the shoe sole 10 has a thickness of about 0.5 cm to 2 cm.
  • the first raised portion 11 has a thickness of about 0.5 cm to 4.5 cm.
  • a right front edge of a top surface of each shoe sole 10 is provided with a reaction raised portion 13 .
  • the shoe sole 10 , the reaction raised portion 13 and the first raised portion 11 have a total thickness of about 1 cm to 5 cm.

  • the total thickness of the shoe sole 10 , the first raised portion 11 and the foot arch raised portion 141 is about 1 cm to 5 cm.
  • the foot arch raised portion 141 provides a support at the foot arch and enhances the force transmission of the foot to equalize the pressure of the sole.
  • the shoe soles 10 are insoles as an example, but not limited thereto.
  • the shoe soles 10 may be applied to golf shoes.
  • the golf shoes are provided with the first raised portion 11 , the second raised portion 12 and the reaction raised portion 13 .
