FIGS. 6 and 7 and comprises a sock a and a shoe sole b formed on a bottom of the sock a. However, a lower portion of the sock a may project forward (seeFIG. 6 ) or laterally (seeFIG. 7 ) when an infant wears the combination sock and shoe in walking. Further, the infant may slip. Furthermore, the joining portion of the sock a and the shoe sole b may break after a short period time of use. Thus, the need for improvement still exists. - It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a combination sock and shoe comprising a sock including an interior; a sole secured to a lower portion of the sock; and at least one strap each having both ends secured to the sole by crossing the sock.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combination sock and shoe according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the combination sock and shoe; -
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of the combination sock and shoe shown inFIG. 2 viewing from the side; -
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section of the combination sock and shoe shown inFIG. 2 viewing from the front; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a combination sock and shoe according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 6 schematically depicts a conventional combination sock and shoe and a forward movement thereof when an infant wears it and steps forward; and -
FIG. 7 schematically depicts a lateral movement of the conventional combination sock and shoe when the infant wears it. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 4 , a combination sock and shoe in accordance with the invention comprises the following components as discussed in detail below. - A
sock 1 has aninterior 11 for accommodating the foot of a wearer. Thesock 1 is made of a soft material such as cotton, textile, or fabric. Aflexible strap 2 is elongated. A sole 3 is resilient in nature and is adapted to accommodate the sole of a wearer. The sole 3 is formed of a resilient material such as plastic, rubber, or foam. The sole 3 in the form of liquid is flowed to a bottom of thesock 1 in the manufacturing process. Thus, thesock 1 and the sole 3 are secured together by curing after finishing the process (seeFIG. 3 ). Thestrap 2 has one end formed with one side of a heel portion of the sole 3 and the other end formed with the other side of the heel portion of the sole 3 after crossing a vamp of the sock 1 (seeFIG. 4 ). - In response to a person wearing the
sock 1, thestrap 2 can hold the sole of the person in the sole 3 in place. Thus, the wearer (e.g., an infant) may walk without being worried of slipping. Further, the combination sock and shoe has a prolonged useful life (i.e., durable). Additionally, aninsole 4 is provided on a bottom of theinterior 11. In addition, an antislip arrangement including a plurality ofprojections 31 are formed on a bottom of the sole 3 so as to prevent the wearer from slipping in walking. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , a combination sock and shoe in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. The characteristics of the second preferred embodiment are substantially the same as that of the first preferred embodiment except the following: Additional twoflexible straps 2 are provided between thestrap 2 shown inFIG. 1 and a toe portion of the sole 3. Eachadditional strap 2 has one end formed with one side of an arch portion of the sole 3 and the other end formed with the other side of the arch portion of the sole 3 after crossing the vamp of thesock 1. - While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modifications within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
