Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention generally relates to shoes with socks. More
particularly, the invention relates to two shoes with two socks
which may have additional miniature stylish designs to make the
shoes with socks of the present invention comfortable and stylish
thanks to the combination of the shoes and socks and the additional
miniature stylish designs.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Shoes and socks have been used for a long time. Regarding
the design of shoes and socks, there has not been any overall
design of them. Therefore, comfortable shoes sold on the market are
often not easy to put on and take off and are usually not very
appealing. Socks have been regarded as an accessory and very few
improvements have been made in their appearance or design. It is
quite difficult for a person to find shoes and socks that match
with his clothes.
[0005] In fact, shoes are worn to protect our feet so as to enable
us to walk around for a long time. Socks may keep dust and
pollutants off our feet and provide comfort to our feet.
[0006] The inventor has put a lot of effort into the present
invention, and has successfully come up with shoes with socks which
may have additional miniature stylish designs, wherein the
functions of the shoes and socks may be optimized and the goals of
appealing appearance and personalized style may be reached with the
additional miniature stylish designs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide shoes which
are provided with socks which may have additional miniature designs
to match the clothes of a user so as to reach the goal of
personalized style.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide shoes
with socks which may have additional miniature designs, wherein a
comfortable liner may be provided on the inner surface of each sock
and an anti-slipping layer may be provided on the outer surface of
each sock, and wherein the shoes may be put on and taken off easily
and are water-resistant, and wherein the shoes are comfortable and
safe and provide full protection to the feet.
[0009] To reach these objects, the present invention of shoes with
socks which may have additional miniature stylish designs are
disclosed. A grass-like knitted liner is provided on the inner
surface of each sock and can provide a higher level of comfort. An
anti-slipping layer may be provided on the outer surface of each
sock to increase the friction and thus avoid slipping. Each shoe
comprises a top portion and a sole portion. The top portion and the
sole portion are integrally formed and thus make the shoes of the
present invention water-proof. A front lace section is provided on
the front portion of the top portion and a rear lace section is
provided on the rear portion of the top portion. The rear lace
section passes the opening and goes through the back wall of the
top portion. In use, the rear lace section is fixedly attached to
the corresponding sock through the engagement of two engagement
units. In addition, a fastening unit is provided on both the front
lace section and the rear lace section to allow a user to adjust
the tightness of either lace sections easily and quickly.
Therefore, the shoes with socks of the present invention may
optimize the functions of shoes and socks and, thanks to the
additional miniature stylish designs provided on the socks, the
goal of personalized style may be reached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0020] The following description is made with reference to the
accompanied drawings.
[0021] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, which illustrate the present
invention of shoes with socks which may have additional miniature
stylish designs. The shoes with socks of the present invention
comprise two shoes 2 and two socks 1. The two shoes 2 and the two
socks 1 may have different designs so that they may match each
other to enhance the aesthetical appeal.
[0022] Each sock 1 has a boot-like shape and may be worn by a user.
Each shoe 2 comprises a top portion 21 and a sole portion 22. An
opening 23 is provided on the top portion to allow a user to put
his foot into the sock 1 and the shoe 2. A front lace section 31 is
provided on the front portion of the top portion 21 and a rear lace
section 32 is provided on the rear portion of the top portion 21.
The rear lace section 32 passes the opening 23 and goes through the
back wall of the top portion 21. A fastening unit 4 is provided on
both the front lace section 31 and the rear lace section 32 to
allow a user to adjust the tightness of either lace sections 31 and
32 easily and quickly. The dual design of the two lace sections 31
and 32 allows people with different foot sizes to adjust the
tightness of their shoe laces easily so that the shoes will not
detach from their feet by accident.
[0023] In use, the rear lace section 32 is fixedly attached to the
corresponding sock 1. In this embodiment, an engagement unit 51 and
52 is provided on the rear lace section 32 and the corresponding
sock 1. Optionally, Velcro fasteners or other means may be used. A
tightness adjustment piece 6 is provided by the opening 23 and may
be used to adjust the tightness of the rear lace section 32 with
respect to the corresponding sock 1. In addition, in comparison to
the traditional shoes in which the top portion is attached to the
sole portion via sewing or glue, in the shoes with socks of the
present invention, the top portion and the sole portion are
integrally formed and thus make the shoes of the present invention
water-proof.
[0024] Moreover, the socks 1 and shoes 2 may have different
patterns or colors so as to match with each other. Similarly, the
front lace section 31 and the rear lace section 32 may have
different patterns or colors.
[0025] As illustrated in FIG. 3, a grass-like knitted liner 11 is
provided on the inner surface of each sock 1 and can provide a
higher level of comfort, keep the feet dry and suppress bacteria
and foul odor. An anti-slipping layer 12 may be provided on the
outer surface of each sock 1 to increase the friction and thus
avoid slipping. The anti-slipping layer 12 may be made of
water-resistant fabric to increase the water-resistant capability
of the sock 1.
[0026] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the front portion and the rear
portion of the sole portion 22 may be provided with different types
of patterns. In the embodiment, the front portion has a tiger's paw
pattern 221 and the rear portion has a horse's hoof pattern 222 so
as to make the shoe 2 aesthetically appealing and anti-slipping. In
addition, a sole portion made of different material may be provided
with a different pattern.
[0027] As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, different types of additional
miniature stylish designs may be provided on each sock 1 to make it
unique or to match the apparel of a user. In FIG. 5A, the miniature
stylish design (a) is a collar design, which includes several
buttons that may be used by a user to open the opening of the sock
1 so that he may put his foot into the sock 1 more easily. In FIG.
5B, the miniature stylish design (b) mimics the crotch of pants and
is provided with a hidden zipper, which may also be used by a user
to open the opening of the sock 1 so that he may put his foot into
the sock 1 more easily. In FIG. 5C, the miniature stylish design
(c) has the design of the pocket of an overall. In FIG. 5D, the
miniature stylish design (d) has the design of the pocket of a suit
and may be used to hold paraphernalia. These four types of
miniature stylish designs make the socks 1 more aesthetically
appealing and more useful.
[0028] Many changes and modifications in the above described
embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without
departing from the scope thereof. Accordingly, to promote the
progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed
and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended
claims.
