Shoe upper and shoe having the same

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provides a shoe upper and a shoe having the same, characterized in that the shoe upper comprises a shoe upper having a vamp toe portion and a vamp side portion that are connected to each other, wherein the inner surface of the vamp side portion is provided with a position limiting component; a tongue having a first portion and a second portion that are oppositely disposed, wherein the first portion of the tongue is affixed to the vamp toe portion; an elastic band configured to connect the second portion of the tongue with the vamp side portion, wherein at least part of the elastic band is located between the position limiting component and the inner surface of the vamp side portion, and the second portion of the tongue is in limiting mating with the position limiting component under the action of the elastic band. According to the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, the tongue can be prevented from dropping after the user takes off the shoe, so that a sufficient distance can be kept between the tongue and the insole. This avoids obstructing the insertion of the foot due to interference between the tongue and the foot when the user puts on the shoe. The insertion does not require any manual operation, thus effectively improving the efficiency of putting on the shoe by the user and improving the user's experience.
