Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to footwear, more particularly to improved footwear having a resilient heel.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- High-heeled shoes or sandals typically include a sole plate made of rubber or plastic, and a solid heel block attached to the bottom of a heel part of the sole plate. While the solid heel block can raise the heel part, because the solid heel block is not resilient and can produce a certain weight, the conventional high heel shoe or sandal is generally uncomfortable. In addition, the shapes and configurations of the conventional high heel shoes or sandals are limited by the construction of the solid heel blocks attached to the heel parts thereof.
- An object of the present invention is to provide improved footwear with a novel heel which is not only durable but also resilient and comfortable.
- According to this invention, an article of footwear comprises a sole unit that includes a lower sole portion having at least a lower heel region; and an upper sole portion which includes a front end connected to the lower sole portion, and a remaining part extending rearwardly from the front end above the lower sole portion. The remaining part includes an upper heel region which is spaced apart from and extends above the lower heel region. The upper sole portion is formed integrally as one piece with the lower sole portion and is resilient.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention: -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the second preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is an elevation view of the third preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is an elevation view of the fourth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is an elevation view of the fifth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention; and -
FIG. 6 is an elevation view of the sixth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention. - Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that same reference numerals have been used to denote like elements throughout the specification.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a first preferred embodiment of the footwear according the present invention is configured as a high-heeled sandal 100 which includes asole unit 10 and astrap 20 attached to thesole unit 10. - The
sole unit 10 includes a lowersole portion 12 having alower front region 121 and alower heel region 122, and an uppersole portion 11 which is formed integrally as one piece with the lowersole portion 12. The lowersole portion 12 is planar. The uppersole portion 11 has afront end 111 connected to the lowersole portion 12 at a location between the lower front andheel regions sole portion 11 extends rearwardly from thefront end 111 above thelower heel region 122 and includes anupper heel region 112 which is spaced apart from and extends above thelower heel region 122. The uppersole portion 11 thus acts as a cantilever. Thestrap 20 is connected to thelower front region 121 of the lowersole portion 12. - The upper and lower
sole portions - The high-heeled sandallo o further includes ananti-
slip layer 13 attached to the top surfaces of the uppersole portion 11 and thelower front region 121 of the lowersole portion 12.Tread members 14 are attached to the bottom surface of the lowersole portion 12. - Due to the use of the aforesaid composite material, the high-
heeled sandal 100 not only has a light weight but also is strong and durable for resistance against breakage. In addition, because of the cantilever-like configuration of the uppersole portion 11, thesole unit 10 has a measure of resiliency so that thesole unit 10 is able to absorb shock and provides a feel of comfort. Moreover, thesole unit 10 presents a novel outer appearance different from those of the prior art. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , a second preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention which is substantially similar to the first preferred embodiment except that a connectingplate 15 is additionally provided in the second preferred embodiment. The connectingplate 15 has top and bottom ends connected respectively to the rear ends of the upper andlower heel regions plate 15 is bent inward so that it protrudes into a space between the upper andlower heel regions plate 15 can be flexed when the upper andlower heel regions plate 15 reinforces the upper andlower heel regions - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a third preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention includes astrap 20 and asole unit 10A. Thesole unit 10A includes a lowersole portion 12A and an uppersole portion 11. The lowersole portion 12A is arched upward at anintermediate part 123A between alower front region 121A and alower heel portion 122A. The front end of the uppersole portion 11 is connected to the lowersole portion 12A at the archedintermediate part 123A. The archedintermediate part 123A provides an advantage in that, when the wearer who wears the sandal of this embodiment steps on gravels, debris or the like, the archedintermediate part 123A can prevent the middle part of the wearer's foot from being pressed or pained by gravels or debris. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a fourth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention is substantially similar to the first preferred embodiment except that thelower heel region 122 of the lowersole portion 12 additionally has anupward support plate 124 which extends curvedly and upwardly from the rear end of thelower heel region 122 and thereafter turns inward. Ananti-abrasion pad 113 is made of an abrasion-resistant material and is attached to the bottom side of theupper heel region 112 of the uppersole portion 11. When theupper heel region 112 is moved downward due to the pressure exerted by the wearer's foot, a top free end of theupward support plate 124 will contact theanti-abrasion pad 113, thereby preventing theupward support plate 124 from abrading theupper heel region 112. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a fifth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention is substantially similar to the first preferred embodiment except that theupper heel region 112 of the uppersole portion 11 has adownward support plate 114 which extends curvedly and downwardly from the rear end of theupper heel region 112 to a position proximate to the rear end of thelower heel region 122 of the lowersole portion 12. Astop piece 125 projects from thelower heel region 122 adjacent to a bottom free end of thedownward support plate 114. As such, when theupper heel region 112 is moved downward due to the pressure exerted on theupper heel region 112, the bottom free end of thedownward support plate 114 contacts against thelower heel region 122 so that theupper heel region 112 is supported by thedownward support plate 114. Thestop piece 125 serves to prevent thedownward support plate 114 from bending excessively and to maintain thedownward support plate 114 in a proper position. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , a sixth preferred embodiment of the footwear according to the present invention includes upper and lowersole portions sole portion 12B is planar and includes a lowerfront region 121B and alower heel region 122B. The uppersole portion 11 includes anupper front region 111B and anupper heel region 112B. The front end of theupper front region 111B is connected to a front end of thelower front region 121B. The upperfront region 111B is spaced apart from thelower front region 121B substantially in parallel to thelower front region 121B. Theupper heel region 112B is inclined with respect to thelower heel region 122B. The upper and lowersole portions lower front regions 1113 and 121B. Aconnection plate 15 interconnects the rear ends of the upper andlower heel regions - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretations and equivalent arrangements.
