Shoe

Abstract

A shoe includes a sole, an upper and a light-emitting unit. The upper includes a main body that is connected to the sole and that cooperates with the sole to define a foot-receiving space, and an outer layer that is mounted on the main body and that cooperates with the main body to define an accommodating space having a opening. The outer layer has a light-transmissive portion. The light-emitting unit is accommodated in the accommodating space and is capable of emitting light to pass through the light-transmissive portion. The light-emitting unit is removable from the accommodating space through the opening.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shoe comprising:
 a sole;   an upper including a main body that is connected to said sole and that cooperates with said sole to define a foot-receiving space, and an outer layer that is mounted on said main body and that cooperates with said main body to define an accommodating space having a opening, said outer layer having a light-transmissive portion; and   a light-emitting unit accommodated in said accommodating space and being capable of emitting light to pass through said light-transmissive portion, said light-emitting unit being removable from said accommodating space through said opening.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said light-transmissive portion of said outer layer has at least one through hole for passage of light emitted from said light-emitting unit therethrough. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said light-transmissive portion of said outer layer has a plurality of said through holes. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said light-emitting unit includes a light-guiding strip, an LED capable of emitting light toward said light-guiding strip, a power supply, and a switch electrically connecting said LED and said power supply, the light emitted from said LED being guided by said light-guiding strip and passing through said light-transmissive portion. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said light-guiding strip of said light-emitting unit has a strip body and a pattern unit formed on said strip body. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said light-guiding strip of said light-emitting unit has a strip body and a clip connected to said strip body for fastening said light-emitting unit onto said outer layer. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said opening of said accommodating space faces an upward direction. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said upper further includes a lift cap for openably closing said opening. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said upper further includes a light-transmissive protective layer sandwiched between said outer layer and said light-emitting unit. 
     
     
         10 . The shoe as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said protective layer is made of a waterproof material.
