Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a footwear with improved straps that offer better comfort and a higher tensile strength. The footwear has a sole with a first strap and a second strap that are made from elastic plastics or rubber. The first strap has a hollow tubular strap body with a first mounting portion affixed to the sole and a second mounting portion affixed to the second strap. The second strap has a hollow tubular strap body with a first mounting portion affixed to the sole and a second mounting portion affixed to the first strap. The first strap and the second strap can be set apart from each other."

Problems solved by technology

When the user is running or jumping, a friction resistance is produced against the user's foot, causing the foot of the user to feel uncomfortable or to be injured.
The friction resistance is relatively increased when the user is running or jumping, thereby causing the user to feel uncomfortable or the skin of the foot to be injured.

Abstract

A footwear with improved straps, which has a sole, a first strap, which has a hollow tubular strap body made from elastic plastics or rubber, a first mounting portion disposed at one end of the strap body and affixed to said sole and a second mounting portion disposed at the opposite end of the strap body, and a second strap, which has a hollow tubular strap body made from elastic plastics or rubber and connected to the second mounting portion of the strap body of the first strap and two mounting portions respectively disposed at the two distal ends of the strap body thereof and respectively affixed to the sole. In an alternate form of the invention, the first strap and the second strap are respectively affixed to the sole and set apart.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to footwear and more particularly, to a footwear having improved straps.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]The straps of a conventional footwear are commonly molded from plastics or rubber, and fastened together to form a Y-shaped or X-shaped structure, or separately fastened to the sole to form a respective loop. Because the straps are solid straps and having a hard contact feeling. When the user is running or jumping, a friction resistance is produced against the user's foot, causing the foot of the user to feel uncomfortable or to be injured.[0005]A solid strap for footwear has a hard surface. When the sink of the foot is rubbing against the hard surface of the solid strap, a great friction resistance is produced against the skin of the foot. The friction resistance is relatively increased when the user is running or jumping, thereby causing the user to feel uncomfortable or th...
