Abstract

A breathing shoe is disclosed to include an air pumping mechanism formed of an air bladder and mounted in the top wall of the outsole for pumping outside cooling air into a front part inside the shoe body to force foul air out of the shoe body through air holes in the front upper part of the shoe body when the user is walking or running.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A breathing shoe comprising: 
 a shoe body, said shoe body having a plurality of air holes in a vamp thereof;    an outsole fastened to a bottom side of said shoe body, said outsole having a top wall and an air inlet; and    an air pumping mechanism mounted in the top wall of said outsole, said air pumping mechanism comprising an air bladder repeatedly compressible, an air inlet unit connected to said air inlet of said outsole for guiding in cooling air from the outside of said outsole into the inside of said air bladder when said air bladder is not compressed, and an air outlet unit for guiding air out of said air bladder into the inside of said shoe body when said air bladder is compressed.    
     
     
         2 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said outsole has a recessed chamber in said top wall; said air bladder of said air pumping mechanism is mounted in said recessed chamber and partially protruding over the top wall of said outsole.  
     
     
         3 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said recessed chamber is formed in the top wall of said outsole corresponding to the heel.  
     
     
         4 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said air inlet of said outsole is formed in a rear side of said outsole.  
     
     
         5 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said air bladder comprises a plurality of air cells joined to one another on the inside, and a plurality of inside air holes respectively formed in said air cells for air communication between said air.  
     
     
         6 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one air discharging pipe respectively mounted in said shoe body and respectively connected to said air outlet unit of said air pumping mechanism for guiding air from said air bladder into a front part inside said shoe body.  
     
     
         7 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said at least one air discharging pipe each have a front end embedded in said shoe body and a plurality of air jet nozzles spaced around the periphery of said front end for guiding air out of the respective air discharging pipe into a front part inside said shoe body.  
     
     
         8 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising at least one air delivery pipe mounted inside said outsole and respectively connected between said at least one air discharging pipe and said air outlet unit of said air pumping mechanism.  
     
     
         9 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said at least one air delivery pipe is mounted in the top wall of said outsole and extending along the border area of said outsole.  
     
     
         10 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said outsole has at least one pipe groove formed in said top wall and extending along the border area thereof for accommodating said at least one air delivery pipe.  
     
     
         11 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said vamp of said shoe body comprises an outer covering layer and an inner lining layer; said at least one air discharging pipe is respectively set in between said outer covering layer and said inner lining layer of said vamp.  
     
     
         12 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said at least one air discharging pipe each has a rear end extending out of a bottom side of said shoe body at a distance and connected to said air outlet unit of said air pumping mechanism.  
     
     
         13 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said air inlet unit of said air pumping mechanism comprises an one-way air valve connected to said air inlet of said outsole for guiding in outside cooling air into said air bladder.  
     
     
         14 . The breathing shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said air outlet unit of said air pumping mechanism comprises at least one one-way air valve for guiding air out of said air bladder into the inside of said shoe body.
