Abstract

A insole with a seahorse reinforcing element is a combination of a soft insole and harder reinforcing element. The reinforcing element is integrally formed with a transverse arch support having the shape similar to the seahorse mouth and crown, an medial longitudinal arch support having the shape of the seahorse vertical body, and a heel support having the shape of the seahorse hooked tail. By strengthening the support of the insole, the invention can prevent discomfort in the transverse arch and the medial longitudinal arch due to sinking. At the same time, the invention reinforces the support for the starting position of walking, thereby saving user's efforts.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An insole with a seahorse reinforcing element formed by combing a soft insole with a harder reinforcing element, the bottom of the soft insole being formed with a concave block according to the shape of the reinforcing element for the combination thereof, and the reinforcing element consisting of a transverse arch support, a medial longitudinal arch support, and a heel support integrally formed together, wherein:
 the transverse arch support has a shape similar to the seahorse mouth and crown, and includes an arch metatarsal pad support and a forefoot inner support extending to the first metatarsal head;   the medial longitudinal arch support has a shape similar to the vertical body of the seahorse, and includes a plane base extending from the metatarsal support downward to the heel and a curved wing supporting the medial longitudinal arch between the first metatarsal and the calcaneus;   the heel support has a shape similar to the hooked tail of the seahorse, with the plane base forming a U-shaped cup pad around the calcaneus to cover the heel;   the reinforcing element strengthens supports to the transverse arch, the medial longitudinal arch, and the heel so that the transverse arch and the medial longitudinal arch are prevented from experiencing discomfort due to sinking, and the starting position for walking is reinforced to save labor.   
     
     
         2 . The insole with a seahorse reinforcing element of  claim 1 , wherein the forefoot inner support has reinforcing ribs. 
     
     
         3 . The insole with a seahorse reinforcing element of  claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing ribs are a plurality of loop ribs. 
     
     
         4 . The insole with a seahorse reinforcing element of  claim 1 , wherein the curved wing has at least one notch to increase the elasticity thereof.
