High-heeled fashion shoe with comfort level and performance enhancement features

Technical field

Generally, the present invention relates to general high-heeled shoes class of wearing by the Ms.More specifically, the present invention relates to promote the improvement of the comfort level and the performance of high-heeled shoes class, the method for using this improved device and utilizing improved footwear of the present invention to walk.

Background technology

Present patent application requires the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.60/512 of on October 20th, 2003 application, the No.60/516 of application on October 31st, 682 and 2003,426 priority according to 35U.S.C. § 119 (e).

Traditional high-heeled shoes class all be usually uncomfortable, easily make the people tired out, very painful when putting on and walk even.Occur multiple and the relevant medical problem that wears high heels thus, comprised the problem of foot, ankle, knee, buttocks and waist.But the wearer is more fashionable, graceful because the high-heeled shoes class can make, occupation and/or sexy and can make the wearer seem higher, so many Mies still often wear it.Some men also wear this high-heeled shoes class simultaneously, for example in some oriental cultural country; And like intersecting the eonism man of the dressing class that also often wears high heels.

Because the high-heeled shoes class has greatly changed wearer's attitude/posture and the circulation of natural walking step state, what therefore occurred bringing by wearing high heels class is uncomfortable and painful.In walking shoes, weight distribution is about 5% on phalanx, and 40% on metatarsal, and 5% on mesopodium and 50% heel region at foot.Therefore human body weight distributes between the front and rear of foot relatively equably.The pin that the high-heeled shoes class has changed the wearer is from the outstanding forward angle of shank, so that the gravity load of human body can not resemble pin is supported when being in physical slot.In the high-heeled shoes with 2 inches heels, 70% of wearer's human body weight is carried by wearer's toe.Along with the growth of height heels, also increasing by the percentage of the human body weight of toe carrying.The heel of increasing has caused when standing or walk in the forward foot in a step out-of-proportion load and pin can slide to the toe head part.Most high-heeled shoes wearer report shows, generally wears this footwear on the seat of walking, stand and being sitting in work or the social environment and can agonize within one to four hours.The relatively gentle slope of footwear can cause pin to gliding, push and clamp toe in many high-heeled shoes.Beyond any doubt, it is very uncomfortable wearing high heels after the long period of time of standing or walked.

Wear high heels and also brought foot problem, this is because often wearing of high-heeled shoes causes Calf muscle and tendon when not wearing footwear their normal length has shortened.Height heels is high more, will be obvious more to the influence of Calf muscle.At first, symptom comprises after wearing high heels all day the still temporary effect of tensible of Calf muscle.Finally, will the permanent situation about shortening of muscle and tendon appear.In case their shorten, and this risk will occur, if heel string will tear when the i.e. stretching, extension of Calf muscle and heel string has exceeded their new short length.Say that sarcastically a lot of Mies can not wear walking shoes again because of this problem and the misery brought thereof.Must remember after passing high-heeled shoes, will stretch muscle and tendon for fear of this Mrs problem.

Usually walking comprises " the heel bump " in each step when the heel kiss the earth, passes through " rolling " of toe from heel, and subsequently when " toe leaves ", promote toe from ground.The heel at heel bump place contact is more stiff when wearing high heels, and this can cause the wearer that her body weight is fiercelyed attack on toe finishing rolling, thereby makes toe be subjected to abnormal stress level.Because bigger impact on heel and metatarsal that the heel increased brings and higher dynamic load(loading), so the natural vibration absorber of foot can not provide enough protections, thereby can cause various degenerations and injury.

Summary of the invention
