Anti-splash shoe with flexible water absorbing structure

Abstract

An anti-splash shoe includes a sole and a vamp. The vamp is connected to the sole and disposed on the sole. The sole has a flexible water absorbing structure, which supports a user's weight, contacts with water on a ground, and absorbs water on an outer surface of the sole to stop the water from flashing toward the vamp when the sole is lifted up and away from the ground.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An anti-splash shoe, comprising:
 a sole; and   a vamp, which is connected to the sole and disposed on the sole, wherein the sole has a flexible water absorbing structure, which supports a user's weight, contacts with water on a ground, and absorbs the water on an outer surface of the sole to stop the water from flashing toward the vamp when the sole is lifted up and away from the ground.   
     
     
         2 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible water absorbing structure is a collodion body. 
     
     
         3 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible water absorbing structure comprises:
 a base;   an outer coating layer in direct contact with the water on the ground; and   a sponge body disposed in a chamber formed between the base and the outer coating layer, wherein the outer coating layer has water absorbing holes communicating with pores of the sponge body.   
     
     
         4 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein an aperture of the water absorbing hole ranges between 2 mm and 4 mm. 
     
     
         5 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible water absorbing structure comprises:
 a base;   a chamber layer connected to the base;   an outer coating layer connected to the chamber layer; and   a sponge body disposed in a chamber formed by the base, the chamber layer and the outer coating layer, wherein the outer coating layer is for in direct contact with the water on the ground, the outer coating layer has water absorbing holes communicating with pores of the sponge body.   
     
     
         6 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible water absorbing structure comprises multiple channels and multiple water absorbing chambers communicating with the channels, respectively, wherein the channels and the water absorbing chambers are deformable to absorb and discharge water. 
     
     
         7 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the water absorbing chambers is an elliptical chamber. 
     
     
         8 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the water absorbing chambers is a spherical chamber. 
     
     
         9 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the water absorbing chambers comprise multiple spherical chambers and multiple elliptical chambers. 
     
     
         10 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible water absorbing structure absorbs the water on the outer surface of the sole when the sole leaves the water so that no continuous water film is present over the outer surface of the sole.
