Insole with individual elastic components
An insole with individual elastic components has an elastic pad with a ventilative layer adhered to the top surface and a supporting block disposed at the heel region on the bottom surface. The elastic pad has first hollow elastic pillars in the foot-thenar region and second hollow elastic pillars in the foot-arch region, with both pillars extending from the bottom surface and having openings toward the top surface. The elastic pad is formed as a single body. The height of the first hollow elastic pillars and the second hollow elastic pillars is greater than the height of the supporting block so that ventilation and cushioning effects are provided to improve air circulation inside the shoe when the insole is pressed.
1. An insole with individual elastic components comprising:
an elastic pad having a top surface and a bottom surface, and
a ventilative layer adhered to the top surface,
wherein the bottom surface includes a foot-thenar region, a heel region, and a foot-arch region, the heel region fully covered by a D-shaped elastic supporting block integrally formed with the elastic pad, the elastic pad further comprises a plurality of first hollow elastic pillars and a plurality of second hollow elastic pillars protruding from the bottom surface with respective openings facing toward the top surface, no openings formed in tips of the first and second hollow elastic pillars, the first hollow elastic pillars located within the foot-thenar region and the second hollow elastic pillars located within the foot-arch region, each of a first height of the first hollow elastic pillars and a second height of the second hollow elastic pillars being greater than a third height of the supporting block, the second height of the second hollow elastic pillars being greater than the first height of the first hollow elastic pillars, a plate portion of the elastic pad having a plurality of ventilating holes penetrating through the elastic pad without aligning with the openings of the first and second hollow elastic pillars; and
wherein the ventilative layer has a plurality of through holes aligned with the openings of the first hollow elastic pillars and the openings of the second hollow elastic pillars facing toward the top surface.
2. The insole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting block has a non-circular meshed groove.
3. The insole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a supporting surface of the supporting block inclines toward the first hollow elastic pillars.
4. The insole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the through holes are smaller than a diameter of the openings.
5. The insole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first slip-proof strips are disposed on edges of the bottom surface of the elastic pad.
6. The insole as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a plurality of second slip-proof strips are disposed on a side of the bottom surface of the elastic pad facing toward a toe region of the elastic pad.
7. The insole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first hollow elastic pillars and the second hollow elastic pillars are cones having flat circular tips.
