Abstract

An inner sole structure includes an insole integrally woven to form a plurality of resilient areas with supporting hoops and buffer areas without the supporting hoops thereof defining the upper surface thereon wherein the resilient and the buffer areas thereof can be made in any shapes like rectangles, triangles, or tilted stripes and be alternatively interrelated in regular or irregular arrangement thereof. The supporting hoops thereof are stood upright with vents defined therein and dividing passages formed at the adjacent sides thereof, and a coupling facet is disposed at the bottom side of the insole thereon to be integrally combined with a loading pad via thermal pressure operation to generate heat welding thereby. Thus, the resilient areas with the supporting hoops of a proper hardness can flexibly sustain the sole of a human foot stepped downwards thereon, stimulating blood circulation and providing a better massage effect. Besides, via the buffer areas alternatively arranged with the resilient areas thereof, the sole of the foot is partially suspended above the insole thereof, providing more proper and ventilating airy space there-between without the foot stuck stuffily and completely onto the insole thereof so as to keep the hygiene of the foot thereof.

Claims (7)

1. An inner sole structure, including an insole integrally woven to form a plurality of resilient areas with supporting hoops and buffer areas without the supporting hoops thereof defining the upper surface thereon wherein the resilient areas and the buffer areas thereof are alternatively interrelated in arrangement, the supporting hoops are stood upright with vents defined therein and dividing passages formed at the adjacent sides thereof; a coupling facet is disposed at the bottom side of the insole thereon to be integrally combined with a loading pad via thermal pressure operation thereby; thus, the resilient areas with the supporting hoops of a proper hardness can flexibly sustain the sole of a human foot stepped downwards thereon, stimulating blood circulation and providing a better massage effect; besides, via the buffer areas alternatively arranged with the resilient areas thereof, the sole of the foot is partially suspended above the insole thereof, providing more proper and ventilating airy space there-between without the foot stuck stuffily and completely onto the insole thereof so as to keep the hygiene of the foot thereof.

2. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the resilient areas and the buffer areas thereof can be formed in any shapes and arranged in regular or irregular manner.

3. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the resilient areas and the buffer areas thereof can be made in shapes like rectangles, triangles, or tilted stripes, etc.

4. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the supporting hoops of the resilient areas can be made of fiber material.

5. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the loading pad thereof are better made of EVA or PVC foaming material.

6. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the insole thereof can also have bamboo charcoal contained therein to achieve deodorization and anti-bacteria effects thereof.

7. The inner sole structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the supporting hoops of the resilient areas thereof can also have openings properly cut at preset spots thereon.
