Field of the invention The present invention relates to a composite walking shoe insole pad, more particularly one, which will prevent the wearer from having pain resulting from reaction shock from the ground as well as preventing the wearer from having poor posture, and which will increase the body stability of the wearer.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art The front and rear portions of a person's feet will be subjected to the greatest amount of force when he is standing. In other words, different portions of a foot won't be subjected to the same amount of force. Thexefore, the body's center of gravity will be shifted towards the front or the rear, and plantar faseiitis are prone to happen if people stand, walk or run for a long period of time. And, when people with flat feet or feet with relatively high arches is wallting or running, their feet will tilt sideways, and in turn they will suffer from joint pain and have poor posture.
Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on an insole pad to overcome the above-mentioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a composite walking shoe insole pad, comprising a pad member, the pad member being pressure-resistant and resilient; the pad member having an upwardly curving arch-shaped side between front and rear portions thereof; the pad member having a stopping wall portion on lateral edges and a rear end thereof; shock absorbing members fitted on the front and the rear portions of the pad member, angle of convexity of the front and the rear shock absorbing members being greater than 130 and smaller than 140; and a third shock absorbing member fitted on the pad member, next to an inward side of the pad member; angle of convexity of the third shock absorbing members being greater than 120 and smaller than 140 .
The insole pad of the present invention consists of a pad member, shock absorbing members fitted on front and rear portions of the pad member for supporting a ball and a heel of the wearer's foot respectively, and a third shock absorbing member fitted on an intermediate portion of the pad member, next to an inward side of the pad member, for supporting the highest section of the arch of the wearer's foot. The pad member has an arch-shaped side between the front and the rear portions for supporting the arch of the wearer's foot while the pad member has a stopping wall portion for preventing the wearer's foot from tilting sideways. Thus, the wearer's body weight will be evenly distributed on all portions of the feet.

S
DBTAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figs. I and 2, a preferred embodiment of a composite watlring shoe insole pad of the present invention includes a pressure-resistant and resilient pad member 1, a front shock absorbing member 21 fitted on a front portion of an upper side of the pad member 1, a rear shock absorbing member 22 fitted on a rear portion of the upper side of the pad member 1, and an intermediate shock absorbing member 23 fined on an intermediate portion of the upper side of the pad member 1, next to an inward side of the pad member 1. Furthermore, covering layers 3 are firmly positioned over upper and lower sides of the pad member 1 as well as the shock absorbing members 21, 22, and 23 so that the shock absorbing members 21, 22, and 23 are securely joined to the pad member 1.
Angle of convexity of the front and the rear shock absorbing members 21 and 22 is 130 to 140 . Angle of convexity of the intermediate shock absorbing member 23 is 120' to 140'. Furthermore, the pad member 1 has an upwardly curving arch-shaped side 11 between the front and the rear portions thereof, and a stopping wall portion 12 on two lateral edges and a rear end thereof.
To use the insole pad, the insole pad is inserted in a shoe with the stopping wall portion 12 of the pad member I being pressed against an inner side of the shoe. Referring to Figs. 1 to 6, when one wears the shoe, a heel bone portion 42 of the wearer`s foot 4 will touch the rear shock absorbing member 22, and a bone portion 41 of a ball of this foot will touch the front shock absorbing member 21, and an arch portion 44 of this foot will touch the arch-shaped side 11 of the pad member 1, and an inner portion 43 of this foot, which is the highest section of the arch portion 44, will touch the intermediate shock absorbing member 23, and toes 45 of this foot will closely touch a bottom of the shoe. Thus, this foot is completely supported.
Therefore, when the wearer 5 is standing, his feet will be completely supported by shoes with such insole pads. And, when the wearer is walking or running, with the bone portions 41 of the balls and the heel bone portions 42 of the feet being subjected to reaction shock from the ground, the shock absorbing members 21 and 22 will disperse and reduce the reaction shock against the bone portions 41 of the balls and the heel bone portions 42 effectively.
Furthermore, the wearer's body weight will be evenly distributed on all portions of the feet, and in turn the wearer's body will be in an upright position, preventing the wearer from suffering from hunchback, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and body S
unbalance. The stopping wall portion 12 of the pad member 1 will help prevent the feet from tilting sideways; if the wearer has flat feet or feet with relatively high arches, the feet wiIl be prevented from tilting sideways by the stopping wall portions 12 of the pad members 1 of such insole pads, and in turn he won't suffer from joint pain or lower back pain or have poor posture.
Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, if a person's feet aren't subjected to force uniformly, horizontal lines of his corresponding left and right joints will tilt,like dotted lines 71, 81, and 91 in Fig. 5, and his body curvature will change in an undesirable manner into the shape of dotted line (B) in Fig. 6. After he wears such shoes for his feet to be subjected to force uniformly, horizontal lines of his corresponding left and right joints will return to their horizontal direction, which is the same as that of lines 7, 8, and 9 in Fig. 5, and his correct body curvature will be recovered, which is in the shape of line (A) in Fig. 6, and which is straighter than dotted line (B).
From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention has the fQllowing advantages:
1. When a person wears shoes with such insole pads, his feet will be completely supported, and his body weight will be evenly distributed on all portions of the feet. Consequently, the insole pads will prevent the wearer from suffering from foot arch pain and plantar fasciitis, and help inarease stability of the wearer's body.
2. The insole pads have the shock absorbing members, which witt disperse and reduce the reaction shock against the bone portions of the balls and the heel bone portions of the wearer's feet effectively.
Consequently, the insole pads will prevent the wearer from suffering from pain of the heels and the balls of the feet, and from having thick calluses, and bone spurs.
3. The pad members of the insole pads have the stopping wall portions for helping prevent the feet from tilting sideways. Therefore, if the wearer has flat feet or feet with relatively high arches, the feet will be prevented from tilting sideways by the stopping wall portions of the pad members, and in turn he won't suffer from joint pain or lower back pain or have poor standing posture.
4. The insole pads have the front shock absorbing members on the front portions thereof for reducing shock on the wearer's heels, which will be subjected to the greatest amount of shock when the wearer is walking; the shoes will be relatively elastic owing to the rear shock absorbing members. And, the insole pads have the rear shock absorbing members on the rear portions thereof for reducing shock on the bone portions of the balls of the wearer's feet, which will be subjected to the greatest amount of force when the wearer starts walking; the s6oes will be relatively elastic owing to the front shock absorbing members. In other words, the insole pads are comfortable and ergonomically ideal.
Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on an insole pad to overcome the above-mentioned problems.
