DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0037] The configuration of golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity of the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known incorporated functions and configurations will be omitted when to include them would make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. Also, the terms used in the following description are defined taking into consideration the functions provided in the present invention. The definitions of these terms should be determined based on the whole content of this specification, because they may be changed in accordance with the option of a user or operator or a usual practice.

[0039] FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view showing the constitution of golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity according to the present invention; FIG. 2 illustrates an exploded perspective view of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 illustrates an A-A partial sectional view of FIG. 1; and FIG. 4 illustrates a B-B partial sectional view of FIG. 1.

[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity (1) according to the present invention consist of an outsole(10), an insole(20), a shoe insert(30) and uppers(40).

[0041] First, an outsole(10, sole), of synthetic resins like urethane, synthetic rubber, is equipped with a plurality of spikes at the bottom. Hereinafter, it is desirable to form a height of external spikes higher than that of inner spikes for preventing swaying.

[0042] Further, an insole(20), of synthetic resins like urethane, is bonded to an upper side of the outsole(10) and comprises: in order to enable weight distribution on the front and rear based on midfoot(arch), round first and second seating grooves(21, 22), in which a forefoot portion (ball) and a rearfoot portion (heel) are respectively seated on the front and rear of the upper surface, are respectively formed on the front and rear of the upper surface of an insole; and round anti-slip protrusions(23) are respectively formed on one side surface of the front of the upper surface, and the other side surface of the rear of the upper surface. Hereinafter, in the insole(20), a round foot arch member(24) is protruded to a location that corresponds to the midfoot.

[0043] Further, the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) of the insole(20) are comprised of hollow holes(25) so as to form relatively weak repulsive power by reducing weight, thereby absorbing shocks, wherein the first seating grooves(21) are further deeper formed than the second seating grooves(22) in order to more distribute weight on the second seating grooves(22)(e.g., 45%, the front, 55%, the rear), and resilient members(26) are inserted in the first seating grooves(21) based on the hollow holes(25) in order to increase repulsive power on downswing. Hereinafter, the hollow holes(25) may be hexagonal, octagonal, rectangular, round, etc. As for the resilient members(26), of coil springs, it is desirable to be formed on the right only in case of right supporting foot, and to be formed on the left only in case of left supporting foot, but it may be formed on both cases selectively.

[0044] Further, it is desirable that the outer side of the first seating grooves(21) of the insole(20) is formed higher relatively, so as to prevent the balls being pushed out, and the inner side of the second seating grooves(22) is formed higher relatively, so as to prevent the balls being pushed in.

[0045] Continuously, a shoe insert(30) is stacked to the upper surface of the insole(20); supplementary seating grooves(31) are formed to a location that corresponds to the first and second seating grooves(21, 22); and a supplementary anti-slip protrusion(33) is formed to a location that corresponds to the anti-slip protrusions(23) of the insole(20). Hereinafter, it is desirable that the supplementary seating grooves(31) and the supplementary anti-slip protrusion(33) may be manufactured in large quantity by a same size; pressure of a user's foot is measured by a foot pressure analyzer at addressing the ball; and it may be changed to be corresponded to ground areas and pressure by analyzing swing positions with a swing analyzer. Further, it is desirable to form a supplementary foot arch member(35) for being formed in a location that corresponds to the foot arch member(24) of the insole(20) and cover.

[0046] Continuously, uppers(40), bonded between the bottom edge of the insole(20) and the edge of the outsole(10), form appearance of golf shoes.

[0047] Hereinafter, the constitution of golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity according to the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 illustrate golf shoes enabling increased driving distance and precise directivity according to the present invention in which a user wears.

[0049] When a user wears golf shoes(1), foot arch members(24), protruded from the insole(20), are inserted to the midfoot of a user, fixing the midfoot.

[0050] Simultaneously, the forefoot portion and the rearfoot portion are respectively fixed to the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) of the insole(20).

[0051] As long as the forefoot portion and the rearfoot portion are fixed to the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) of the insole(20), weight distribution is easily achieved by the depths of the first and second seating grooves(21, 22).

[0052] That is, since a user wears golf shoes(1), weight distribution is easily achieved by being grounded on the ground at addressing a ball and thus, additional motions for weight distributions are not necessary.

[0053] Meanwhile, the forefoot portion and the rearfoot portion in the user's foot are fixed to the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) of the insole(20), and front outside and back inside of a foot are supported by anti-slip protrusions(23) of the insole(20).

[0054] Then, while swinging, the foot in the golf shoes(1) are not slipped by anti-slip protrusions(23), thereby increasing driving distance and enabling precise directivity.

[0055] Further, while swinging, the pressure applying to the foot is absorbed by hollow holes(25) in the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) of the insole(20). While downswinging, elastic rebound is generated in the resilient members(26), inserted to the first seating grooves(21), thereby boosting repulsive power and increasing driving distance with raised power while golf impact.

[0056] Meanwhile, when the user walks long in golf game, shock is absorbed in the first and second seating grooves(21, 22) and elasticity is generated in the resilient members(26), thereby decreasing foot fatigue and preventing reduced stamina.

[0057] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
