Hiking shoes with anti-slip spikes

Abstract

A hiking shoe includes a vamp connected to an outsole. The outsole includes a rear section and a front section. The outsole has multiple anti-slip blocks formed thereto. Multiple spikes are respectively and integrally formed to a portion of the anti-slip blocks that are located at the rear section and the front section of the outsole. Each spike has an end face that is formed on the first end thereof, and the end face is in flush with the distal end of the anti-slip block corresponding thereto. The second end of each spike is located within the anti-slip block corresponding thereto and within the outsole. The end face of each spike has multiple grooves defined therein so as to provide friction. Each spike is made by SKD-11 (Steel Kogu Dies-11).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hiking shoe comprising:
 a vamp and an outsole, the vamp located above a top of the outsole and connected along a periphery of the outsole, the vamp including an opening and a trim portion, the trim portion located along a portion of the opening, the opening configured to accept insertion of wearer's foot, the outsole including a rear section and a front section, the outsole having multiple anti-slip blocks formed thereto, the anti-slip blocks located at a distance from each other, and   multiple spikes respectively and integrally formed to a portion of the anti-slip blocks that are located at the rear section and the front section of the outsole, each spike having an end face that is formed on a first end thereof, the end face being in flush with a distal end of the anti-slip block corresponding thereto, a second end of each spike located within the anti-slip block corresponding thereto and within the outsole, the end face of each spike having multiple grooves defined therein, each spike being made by SKD-11 (Steel Kogu Dies-11), the grooves of the spikes configured to provide friction.   
     
     
         2 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front section of the outsole includes a first area and a second area, a bending line is defined between the first and second areas, the bending line is formed when a heel of the shoe lifts up, the anti-slip blocks that are located on the bending line each have one of the spikes. 
     
     
         3 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the spikes includes a head and a shank, each of the anti-slip blocks that has the spike formed therein has a recess defined therein, the recess is defined in the outsole as well, the spike is integrally formed in the recess corresponding thereto, each recess includes a large-diameter area and a small-diameter area, the small-diameter area is located in the anti-slip block and the outsole corresponding thereto, the large-diameter area is defined in the outsole, the head of the spike is formed within the large-diameter area corresponding thereto, the shank of the spike is formed within the small-diameter area corresponding thereto so as to prevent the spike from dropping off from the recess. 
     
     
         4 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each of the spikes includes a head and a shank, each of the anti-slip blocks that has the spike formed therein has a recess defined therein, the recess is defined in the outsole as well, the spike is integrally formed in the recess corresponding thereto, each recess includes a large-diameter area and a small-diameter area, the small-diameter area is located in the anti-slip block and the outsole corresponding thereto, the large-diameter area is defined in the outsole, the head of the spike is formed within the large-diameter area corresponding thereto, the shank of the spike is formed within the small-diameter area corresponding thereto so as to prevent the spike from dropping off from the recess. 
     
     
         5 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rear section of the outsole includes a third area and a fourth area, a separation line is defined between the third and fourth areas, the separation line passes through two of three spikes and the two spikes are located in the anti-slip blocks of the rear section. 
     
     
         6 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the third area includes a flat section and a curve section, a third one of the three spikes is located in the curve section, the two spikes that the separation line passes and the spike that is located in the curve section are located at three points of an imaginary triangle. 
     
     
         7 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the grooves are formed in a netted pattern. 
     
     
         8 . The hiking shoe as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the end face of each spike has a notch defined therein, the grooves extend radially from a periphery of the notch and communicate with the notch.
