Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to foot wearing apparel, and more particularly to an insole for a shoe.
  • an object of the present disclosure is to provide an insole that can provide massage to a sole of human foot as well as maintaining air ventilation across the sole.
  • an insole includes a top surface, a bottom surface opposite to the upper surface, a plurality of protrusions protruding from the top surface, a plurality of recesses indenting inwardly from the bottom surface, and a plurality of vent holes.
  • Each of the recesses has an inner end and an outer end that is located at the bottom surface and that is larger than the inner end.
  • Each of the vent holes extends from the top surface to communicate with the inner end of a corresponding one of the recesses.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of an insole of this disclosure
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3 .
  • an embodiment of an insole 10 includes a top surface 11 , a bottom surface 12 opposite to the top surface 11 , a plurality of protrusions 13 protruding from the top surface 11 , a plurality of recesses 14 indenting inwardly from the bottom surface 12 , a plurality of vent holes 15 extending from the top surface 11 to communicate with the recesses 14 , and a plurality of connecting grooves 16 formed in the bottom surface 12 and communicating spatially with the recesses 14 .
  • the insole 10 is made from a foam material.
  • the protrusions 13 are arranged in accordance to acupressure points of sole of a human foot.
  • Each of the recesses 14 is frustoconical, and has an inner end 141 , and an outer end 142 that is located at the bottom surface 12 and that is larger than the inner end 141 .
  • Each of the vent holes 15 has a bottom end communicating with the inner end 141 of a corresponding one of the recesses 14 , and a top opening 151 located at the top surface 11 and spaced apart from the protrusions 13 .
  • the top opening 15 of at least a portion of the vent holes 15 is adjacent to the protrusion 13 .
  • Each of the connecting grooves 16 interconnects a corresponding adjacent pair of the recesses 14 .
  • the protrusions 13 of the sole 10 provide massaging benefits toward sole of the user's foot, as the protrusions 13 are arranged in accordance to acupuncture points of sole of a human foot.
  • the recesses 14 of the insole 10 are constantly squeezed by applied force of the walking movement, which drives air movement across the vent holes 15 and the connecting grooves 16 , ultimately guiding the air out of the insole 10 .
  • the squeezed recesses 14 may gradually be restored to its original state after the applied force is removed. During their recovery process, the recesses 14 may also pull air into the insole 10 , driving air movement inside the insole 10 yet again.
  • the protrusions 13 of the top surface 11 elevate the sole of a human foot slightly above the top surface 11 such that the sole is spaced apart from and avoids complete contact with the top surface 11 .
  • the insole 10 is able to drive air circulation between the sole and the top surface 11 , reducing the buildup of the trapped stuffy air inside the shoe.
  • the insole 10 is capable of massaging the sole of a human foot with the protrusions 13 of the top surface 11 , as well as providing ventilation across the sole utilizing the communication of individual vent holes 15 with the recesses 14 .
