DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(8) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a shoe body with an arch suspended support according to the invention comprises an outsole 10, a midsole 20, a vamp 30, a first girdle 40 and a second girdle 50.

(9) The outsole 10 has a bottom surface formed with front and rear ends, which are low, and a high middle to form a convex arc shape.

(10) The midsole 20 is connected to a top surface of the outsole 10.

(11) A user's foot 70 may be placed into the vamp 30. A lower edge of the vamp 30 extends from a periphery of the midsole 20 to a bottom surface of the midsole 20 and is connected between the midsole 20 and the outsole 10. The vamp 30 comprises a first sidewall 31 and a second sidewall 32 covering two sides of the foot 70. The first sidewall 31 has a first through hole 33 penetrating therethrough. A hole edge of the first through hole 33 is connected to a first reinforcement member 34 to strengthen the structural strength of the hole wall of the first through hole 33. The second sidewall 32 has a second through hole 35 penetrating therethrough. A hole edge of the second through hole 35 is connected to a second reinforcement member 36 to strengthen the structural strength of the hole wall of the second through hole 35. An outer surface of the second sidewall 32 is connected to a first sticky piece 37.

(12) A bottom end of the first girdle 40 is formed with two fork pieces 41 so that the overall structure has a substantial Y-shape. End portions of the two fork pieces 41 are fixed to a side edge of a top surface of the midsole 20 close to the second sidewall 32 by way of sewing. The top end of the first girdle 40 may also pass through one side of an arch portion 71 of the foot bottom and then extends outside the first sidewall 31 from the first through hole 33. An inner surface of a top end portion of the first girdle 40 is sewed with a second sticky piece 42 to be stuck with the first sticky piece 37. The outer surface of the portion of the first girdle 40 extending outside the first sidewall 31 is sewed with a third sticky piece 43.

(13) The second girdle 50 is in a form of a long sheet and has a bottom end fixed to a side edge of a top surface of the midsole 20 close to the first sidewall 31 by way of sewing. The top end of the second girdle 50 passes through a location between two fork pieces 41 of the first girdle 40 and then extends outside the second sidewall 32 from the other side of the arch portion 71 of the foot bottom through the second through hole 35, wherein an inner surface of the top end portion of the second girdle 50 is sewed with a fourth sticky piece 51 to be stuck with the third sticky piece 43.

(14) In FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, after the user places the foot 70 into the vamp 30, the user can pull the first girdle 40 and the second girdle 50 outwards, then stick the second sticky piece 42 of the first girdle 40 to the first sticky piece 37 of the second sidewall 32, and then stick the fourth sticky piece 51 of the second girdle 50 to the third sticky piece 43 of the first girdle 40. Thus, the first and second girdles 40, 50 form an X-shaped frame below the arch portion 71 of the foot bottom to form a good support. The top ends of the first and second girdles 40, 50 go to the top of the instep from two sides of the foot 70 and are then overlapped with and stuck with each other to form a state where a top portion of the X-shaped frame is suspended to cover the foot 70. Thus, when a force is exerted on the sole, it is possible to prevent the skeleton of the arch portion 71 from excessively expanding. When no force is exerted on the sole, it is also possible to make the skeleton of the arch portion 71 be indeed restored, thereby achieving the effect of effectively protecting the arch and enhancing the wearing comfort. In addition, the top ends of the first and second girdles 40, 50 go to the location above the instep from two sides of the foot 70 and are then overlapped with and stuck to each other to form a state where the foot 70 is covered. Thus, when the foot moves, the arch portion 71 on the bottom of the sole will not leave the support of the X-shaped frame no matter which lateral force is exerted on the foot. More particularly, two fork pieces 41 are formed on the bottom end of the first girdle 40 so that the overall structure has the Y shape, and the second girdle 50 passes through the location between the two fork pieces 41 of the first girdle 40 to form the overlapping structure design. This also makes the X-shaped frame have the larger supporting surface area and the larger supporting force, thereby further providing the supporting effect. In addition, the top ends of the first and second girdles 40, 50 go to the location above the instep and are then overlapped with each other. This structure further makes the X-shaped frame have the sufficient suspension force. The supporting height and tightness thereof may also be easily adjusted for different users. In addition, the tightening of the first and second girdles 40, 50 eliminates the use of the shoelaces.

(15) In FIG. 6, when the user wears the shoe body with an arch suspended support according to the invention to walk and the heel touches the ground at the beginning of walking, the design of the convex arc shape of the bottom surface of the outsole 10 makes the tiptoe uptilt, so that the muscles between the calf and the thigh are relatively unfolded, and the body-building effect, such as stretching and weight loss, can be obtained. When the user keeps walking forwards with the center of gravity moving frontward, the outsole 10 swings along the bottom surface of the convex arc shape thereof. Before the outsole 10 leaves the ground, the contact point between the outsole 10 and the ground moves frontward to the tiptoe. Correspondingly, the design of the convex arc shape of the bottom surface of the outsole 10 makes the heel be lifted naturally, so that the effect of stretching the muscles of the calf is obtained. Therefore, the shoe body with an arch suspended support according to the invention makes the walking wearer enter a naturally unstable state according to the design of the convex arc shape of the bottom surface of the outsole 10, and the human body unconsciously generates the action of balancing the rhythm in the unstable state, so the more force exerting effects can be generated. Thus, the dormant muscles are imperceptibly pulled to activate the long-term ignored muscle group, the body can naturally enter the straight state, and the gait thus satisfies the biomechanics to achieve the objects of chest out, stomach in and hip up. Furthermore, the portions, which cannot be easily and often used, can be pulled and lifted, so that the posture becomes firmer, and the body curve can be sculptured.

(16) The vamp 30 of the shoe body with an arch suspended support according to the invention may also be a hollow vamp composed of a plurality of strips of sheet bodies, so that the shoe body as a whole is in the state of a sandal. In this manner, the first and second through holes 33, 35 need not to be formed on the vamp 30, and the first and second girdles 40, 50 are directly overlapped and stuck with each other above the instep.

(17) Referring to FIG. 7, the structure of another embodiment of the invention is substantially the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment except for the difference that the shoe body with an arch suspended support according to this embodiment further comprises a shoe pad 60. The shoe pad 60 is disposed in the vamp 30 and above the overlapped portion between the first and second girdles 40, 50, so that the sole upon wearing feels more comfortable.
