For a variety of products that require a waterproof woven surface. The shoes proposed by the present invention can be applied to, for example, sports shoes, running shoes, sneakers or casual shoes, and those skilled in the art can be applied to the above or other shoes, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a shoe according to a first embodiment of the present invention and a partially enlarged schematic diagram of an upper. Please refer to FIG. 1. The shoe 100 of this embodiment includes a sole 110 and an upper 120. The sole 110 is, for example, made of rubber or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The polymer material is formed, and the present invention is not limited to the material of the sole 110.

The upper 120 connected to the sole 110 includes a breathable fabric 130. Specifically, the fabric of the upper 120 of the shoe 100 in this embodiment is applied with a breathable cloth 130, and the distribution area of the breathable cloth 130 may be distributed on part or all of the upper, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Please refer to the enlarged schematic view of the upper area in reference area A in FIG. 1. The breathable fabric 130 includes a breathable woven layer 131 and a plurality of woven scales 132. Here, the woven scales 132 in some areas are omitted from the lower edge to illustrate the ventilation of this embodiment in detail. The relative relationship between the breathable woven layer 131 and the woven scale 132 in the cloth 130 is not intended to limit the relative positional relationship of the elements of the present invention. The breathable braided layer 131 connects the braided scales 132, and the connection between the breathable braided layer 131 and the braided scales 132 can be accomplished, for example, by stitching or weaving.

In the breathable woven layer 131 of the present embodiment, the woven scales 132 are arranged into a plurality of scale strips. Taking the scale strips 132R1 and 132R2 as an example, the scale strips 132R1 and 132R2 are arranged along the first direction d1, and the woven scales 132 in the scale strips 132R1 and 132R2 also extend toward the first direction d1. The extending direction from one end to the end of each woven scale 132 connected to the breathable woven layer 131 is substantially parallel to the first direction d1, and each woven scale 132 may overlap the other woven scales in the first direction d1. Taking FIG. 1 as an example, the first direction d1 is, for example, a direction toward the sole 110, and the knitted scales 132 may extend toward the sole 110, for example.

The scale strip 132R1 and the adjacent scale strip 132R2 of this embodiment are arranged in a staggered manner along the second direction d2. The distribution area of the scale strip 132R1 in the breathable fabric 130 and the distribution area of the scale strip 132R2 in the breathable fabric 130 are partially Overlapping, therefore, a gap can be formed between the scale strip 132R1 and the scale strip 132R2 to allow the gas G to circulate.

For example, the woven scales 132A in FIG. 1 are stacked on the

woven scales

132B, 132C, and 132D. Since the side edges of the woven

scales

132B and 132C are stacked between the

woven scales

132A and 132D, an area is formed between the

woven scales

132A and 132D so that air can flow out of the breathable woven layer 131.

At the same time, covering these woven scales 132 on the breathable woven layer 131 can prevent external liquids from directly contacting the breathable woven layer 131, and the trailing edges of these woven scales 132 can also guide the liquid to flow on the surface. For example, through the shape of these woven scales 132, the liquid LQ1 can flow down along the woven scales 132 stacked on each other. In other words, the woven scales 132 of this embodiment are arranged in a breathable fabric 130 in a manner similar to fish scales, so a gap can be formed between the woven scales 132, and the shape of the woven scales 132 can guide the liquid to the insole to the ground , To further prevent the liquid from staying on the breathable fabric 130, and provide both breathable and waterproof functions.

The above-mentioned staggered arrangement method will be further exemplified in detail below. Referring to FIG. 1, taking the scale strips 132R1 and 132R2 as an example, the woven scales 132 in the scale strips 132R1 of this embodiment are arranged along the alignment line L1. The woven scales 132 are arranged along the alignment line L2. The alignment lines L1 and L2 are parallel to the direction d1. Between these lines L1 and L2, there is a width W1 in the direction d2, and the width W1 is smaller than the scales of the woven scale 132 in the direction d2. width. Therefore, the left and right sides of each of the woven scales 132 in the distribution area of the breathable fabric 130 overlap with the distribution areas of other woven scales 132.

On the other hand, these woven scales 132 are also substantially arranged along a plurality of arrangement horizontal lines parallel to the second direction d2. Referring to FIG. 1, taking the arrangement horizontal lines L3 and L4 as an example, the woven scales 132 arranged along the arrangement horizontal line L3 are substantially connected to the breathable woven layer 131 at the same height in the first direction d1 and adjacent to each other. The knitted scales 132 on the horizontal line L4 and the knitted scales 132 on the horizontal line L3 are also staggered. At the same time, there is a height H1 in the direction d1 between the arrangement horizontal line L3 and the arrangement horizontal line L4. The height H1 is smaller than the scale length of the woven scale 132 in the direction d1. Therefore, each woven scale 132 is above and below the distribution area of the breathable cloth 130 The side will overlap the distribution area of other woven scales 132.

Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the woven scales 132 overlapping each other can form a gap so that air can directly flow out through the breathable woven layer 131, and at the same time prevent the liquid from penetrating through the woven scales 132 overlapping each other.

The woven scale 132 of this embodiment is woven from a waterproof yarn, for example, and the material of the waterproof yarn includes a polymer material or the like, and may be formed of a knitted fabric coated with a waterproof material. Through the waterproof property of the material, the woven scale 132 can further prevent liquid penetration.

On the other hand, the breathable fabric 130 proposed by the present invention can control the waterproof and breathable characteristics through the density of the weaving. For example, in the breathable fabric 130, the weaving density of these woven scales 132 may be greater than the woven density of the breathable woven layer 131, and the pores of the breathable woven layer 131 may be larger than the pores of the woven scale 132, so the gas can easily pass through the breathable knit Layer 131, and the woven scale 132 can block liquid.

The braided scale proposed by the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned braided scale 132 formed into a semi-circular shape, and in other embodiments, other shapes may be formed to guide the liquid. Referring to FIG. 2, in another embodiment of the present invention, the breathable fabric 230 includes a breathable knitted layer 231 and a plurality of knitted scales 232 connected to the breathable knitted layer 231. The braided scales 232 are formed in a semi-elliptical shape, that is, compared with the braided scales 132 described above, the trailing edges of the braided scales 232 extend along the direction d1. By lengthening the length of these braided scales 232, a larger gap can be formed between the braided scales 232 to allow gas to flow out of the breathable braided layer 231.

Referring to FIG. 3, in another embodiment of the present invention, the breathable fabric 330 includes a breathable knitted layer 331 and a plurality of knitted scales 332 connected to the breathable knitted layer 331. The braided scales 332 are formed as triangles extending along the direction d1, so that the edges of the braided scales 332 are substantially parallel to each other, and the liquid W2 can flow down along the edges in order. When the breathable cloth 330 of this embodiment is applied to a shoe upper, the liquid LQ2 falling on the shoe upper can flow on the surface by the inertia of the user when walking and the shape of these knitted scales 332.

In summary, the breathable fabric proposed by the present invention has a plurality of overlapping woven scales, and these woven scales are connected to the breathable woven layer. Therefore, while these woven scales are covered on the breathable woven layer to provide a waterproof function, a gap can also be formed between the woven scales for gas to pass through. The upper of the shoe provided by the present invention includes a breathable cloth, and the breathable cloth is formed of a breathable knitted layer and a plurality of knitted scales overlapping each other. The air inside the shoe can flow out through the breathable woven layer and the space between these woven scales, and the liquid from the outside of the shoe can be guided by these woven scales connected to the breathable woven layer to flow to the sole to the ground. Therefore, the shoe provided by the present invention can have both breathable and waterproof effects.
