DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Embodiments of tire present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in the following description of the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related well-known function or component may make the gist of tire present invention unnecessarily obscure, the detailed description will be omitted.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, a shoe with a replaceable heel according to tire present invention includes: a shoe body 100 including an outsole 110 configured to support tire overall sole of a foot of a user and an upper 120 configured to surround the foot of the user a base heel 200 formed to protrude from the bottom surface of the outsole 110 of the shoe body 100 and provided with a first coupling portion 210; and a replaceable heel 300 coupled to the bottom of the base heel 200 and provided with a second coupling portion 310 that is formed at a location opposite to the first coupling portion 210 and is coupled with the first coupling portion 210.

[0022] The shoe body 100 is a component that is generally essential in constructing the shape of the shoe, and includes the outsole 110, upper 120 and insole of the shoe.

[0023] The base heel 200 according to the present invention is formed on the bottom surface of tire outsole 110 of Site shoe body 100, and is formed at a rear side corresponding to the heel. The first coupling portion 210 is formed at the center of the base heel 200 to be coupled with the replaceable heel 300. The first coupling portion 210 is formed on the base heel 200 itself. Accordingly, when foe first coupling portion 210 is used without the coupling of the replaceable heel 300, the replaceable heel 300 may not be smoothly coupled due foe wear or damage of the first coupling portion 210.

[0024] The replaceable heel 300 according to the present invention is coupled to foe bottom of the base heel 200. The second coupling portion 310 is formed at a location of the replaceable heel 300 opposite to the first coupling portion 210 of the base heel 200. In other words, the base heel 200 and the replaceable heel 300 constitute the heel of foe shoe through the coupling thereof. A plurality of various types of replaceable heels 300 is provided, and a replaceable heel 300 desired by a user is selected and coupled.

[0025] A coupling, structure for the first coupling portion 210 of the base heel 200 and the second coupling portion 310 of the replaceable heel 300 may be various. As an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the coupling structure for the first coupling portion 210 and the second coupling portion 310 may be an internal and external-thread coupling structure. The directions of the internal and external threads are not limited. However, when the height of the replaceable heel 300 is larger than the length by which the base heel 200 protrudes, the first coupling portion 210 of the base heel 200 is preferably formed in an external thread shape.

[0026] Additionally, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the coupling structure for the first coupling portion 210 and the second coupling portion 310, in which the coupling structure for the first coupling portion 210 and the second coupling portion 310 is a protrusion-groove interference fitting structure. In this case, the protrusion and the groove are simply formed in circular shapes. In contrast, when the protrusion and the groove are formed in polygonal or toothed gear shapes, the protrusion and the groove are engaged with each other, and thus the coupled replaceable heel 300 can be prevented from being unintentionally rotated.

[0027] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a functional heel 400 made of a different material or formed in a different shape may be further provided on the bottom of the replaceable heel 300. The functional heel 400 may have a function that varies depending on one of various types of use environments.

[0028] As an embodiment of tire functional heel 400, when the functional heel 400 is applied as a cushioning member 410, as shown in FIG. 4, it may be possible to minimize tire impact transmitted to the foot and reduce an ankle-twisting phenomenon in a place such as a iron-paved road, lire cushioning member 110 is preferably made of an elastic material such as silicon, rubber, or the like.

[0029] FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the functional heel 400, in which a sawteeth-shaped anti-slip portion 420 is formed in the lower portion of the functional heel 400, thereby increasing frictional force with the ground surface. The anti-slip portion 420 may prevent falling down on an icy road in the winter or a slippery road in the rain. The material of the function heel 400 in which the anti-slip portion 420 is formed is preferably made of a harder material than the replaceable heel 300.

[0030] The functional heel 400 configured in this way is preferably fabricated separately and attached with an adhesive such as a bond, rather than being detachably attached to the replaceable heel 300.

[0031] The present invention is configured such that the base heel is formed on the shoe body itself and the replaceable heel is detachably attached to the base heel, and thus effects are achieved in that the height, shape, color, etc. of the heel may be freely changed according to a user's preference based on the shape of the replaceable heel and the shoe may be used for a long period of time.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention is configured such that the functional heel having an additional function is provided on the bottom of the replaceable heel, and thus the shape of the heel may be varied depending on an environmental change in order to relieve impact when walking in a place with many irregularities such as an unpaved road, obtain an anti-slip effect on an icy in the winter or a slippery road in the rain, etc.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention.
