- Fig. 1a and 1b which schematically represent the foot skeleton when standing or during walking wearing the shoe according to the invention, the instep is not loaded excessively and the transverse arch does not collapse, like at usage of present types of shoes - Fig. 2a and 2b , thanks to which the protractors (extensors) and flexors of toes as well as the Achilles tendon and further muscles or ligaments of foot are fully functioning and they are properly and naturally loaded. Wearing of the shoe according to the invention helps to prevent number of health problems, affecting not only the foot itself, but they may consequently affect also other parts of the body, especially other parts of legs, the spine, etc.
- the shoe according to the invention is based on synergetic joint action of several elements.
- the first of them is the insole, which is in the shoe mounted according to requirements in a fixed manner (innersole) or in a removable manner (sock lining), and which on its upper side comprises at least a depression for big toe joint and a depression for heel bone. Thanks to these depressions this insole maintains the foot in its natural position and facilitates proper distribution of weight of human body among its main supporting points formed of big toe joint, toe joints and heel bone. Lowering of heel bone simultaneously helps to achieve proper position of the whole leg, which brings relief not only for its so far extremely stressed parts, especially ligaments and joints, but also for spine, thus uprights human body and transfers its centre of gravity into natural position.
- the insole next to the depression for big toe joint and the depression for heel bone may be provided with further elements like e.g. a protrusion for support of longitudinal arch, etc.
- the depression for big toe joint and for heel bone is performed either through suitable shaping, e.g. depression and/or change of thickness of insole in places of these recessions and/or openings performed in the body of the insole.
- suitable shaping e.g. depression and/or change of thickness of insole in places of these recessions and/or openings performed in the body of the insole.
- these recessions may be also formed through suitable shaping of insole or its carrying layer and/or openings performed at least in any of its layers.
- the most suitable insole is the insole known e.g. from the CZ patent 298894 , or analogic EP patent application 1854371 , which from the lower side features a shape of bottom part of human foot (the sole) and from the upper side a shape of impression of bottom part of human foot.
- the lower side of insole then in the heel section comprises a heel protrusion arranged under a heel depression on upper side of the insole, which is from outside delimited by a deflection of cuboid bone arranged under a support of cuboid bone on upper side of the insole, and on which ties together a protrusion of longitudinal splint bone arranged under a depression of longitudinal splint bone on upper side of the insole.
- Towards heel of insole on this support ties together a support of longitudinal arch of foot, which is from the lower side of insole formed of a deflection of the support of longitudinal arch arranged under a protrusion of support of longitudinal arch of foot on upper side of insole.
- the heel part of this insole with heel dimple is further lowered towards its middle section by means of recession or lowering.
- biomechanical elastic insertion 1 (a spring) created from elastic material, which is incorporated in the upper of the shoe in area, which is in contact with instep of the foot, while it extends, as per the type of the shoe, up to the edge of the instep or to the opening in the shoe, or to transition of instep of the shoe into middle or rear portion of the upper of the shoe.
- This insertion with advantage is performed as multilayered one, when it from outer side contains folded layer 2 of material from which the upper of the shoe (e.g. leather) is produced, this being firmly attached for example sewn together with under it arranged elastic layer 3 (e.g. a textile rubber), that renders to it suitable elastic properties - see the Fig.
- biomechanic elastic insertion 1 is, based on the above mentioned facts, apparent to an average person skilled in the art, and that is why they will not be described hereinafter.
- the elastic insertion/insertions 1 positioned in area of instep of the shoe may be added by another ones, as to the structure identical or similar elastic insertions 1 , positioned in other parts of the shoe, as it further will be described and illustrated on several particular types of shoes.
- the shape, size and individual positioning of any of the elastic insertions 1 are given by the structure and design of the shoe, shape of its parts, its size and purpose, though in various examples of embodiment they may differ.

Description
- The invention relates to a shoe comprising a sole on top side of which there is mounted an insole to which an upper of the shoe is attached.
- At present number of various types and structures of shoes is known. Their common disadvantage is that tough upper (whose toughness is quite often increased by connecting element/elements), which is firmly attached to the sole of the shoe, causes during walking unnatural and extreme load of foot instep and consequently also of all muscles and ligaments of the foot. As a result of this, also by healthy human with normally shaped foot, next to others, callosities are created, function and load of Achilles tendon is changed, functioning of protractors (extensors) and flexors of toes, especially of big toe, is reduced, hammer toes are created, and gradually longitudinal arch of the foot may collapse, thus the flat foot may evolve, and its vascular, lymphatic or nerve system may be even damaged. These processes are moreover worsened when plane, possibly towards the toe cap lowered insole is used, which further contributes to unsuitable load of the foot through unnatural distribution of weight of human body into the whole surface of the foot, instead of its distribution among supporting parts of the foot - the big toe joint, toe joints and the heel bone. Next to physical pain, accompanying effects of these changes which gradually penetrate not only into the whole lower limb but also into the whole body, are an excessive fatigue and psychic problems, which lowers quality of life.
- The goal of the invention is to design a shoe, which would remedy the drawbacks of shoes of present structures, would reduce load of instep and enable the most natural distribution of weight of human body to those parts of foot which are adapted to this purpose.
-
EP 2 316 292 A1 - The goal of the invention is achieved by shoe according to the appended
claim 1, this shoe also comprises a sole, to which there is attached an upper of the shoe, and on whose upper side an insole is mounted, whose principle consists in that, the upper of the shoe comprises in area of instep of the foot at least one instep elastic insertion, which reduces pressure of the upper of the shoe on the instep of the foot, while the insole on its upper side comprises at least a depression for big toe joint and a depression or lowering for heel bone. Synergetic action of these elements then ensures proper distribution of weight of human body among carrying elements of the foot, thus natural load of individual parts of the foot respecting its structure and biomechanics. - Especially at boots it is then advantageous, if the instep elastic insertion is on section of its length provided with longitudinal opening, which further reduces its toughness, possibly if in the area of the instep of the foot it comprises two side by side arranged instep elastic insertions.
- To increase the effect of the instep elastic insertion, the upper of the shoe may further on at least one side of the shoe in the area of the instep of the foot comprise an auxiliary instep elastic insertion.
- For further increasing of effect of the shoe its upper comprises at least on one side of the shoe in area of an ankle of the foot an ankle elastic insertion and/or preferably in area of the heel, or above the heel a heel elastic insertion, which reduce overall toughness of the shoe, and especially upon full treading also load of the heel, or more precisely of Achilles tendon.
- The heel elastic insertion then may be especially at boots with advantage substituted by a calf elastic insertion, which reduces load of the calf and of calf muscles.
- At all variants the highest effect is achieved upon usage of an insole which on its lower side in heel section comprises a heel protrusion arranged under a heel depression on its upper side, which is from outside delimited by a deflection of cuboid bone arranged under a support of cuboid bone on upper side of the insole, and on which ties together a protrusion of longitudinal splint bone arranged under a depression of longitudinal splint bone on upper side of the insole. On the protrusion of longitudinal splint bone then ties together a protrusion of little toe joints arranged under a depression of little toe joints on upper side of the insole, which runs via a deflection of support of transverse arch towards inner section of the insole into a protrusion of big toe joint arranged under a depression of big toe joint on upper side of the insole, while the support of transverse arch creates a flexible bridge between section of insole under big toe joint and under little toe joints, and towards the heel of the insole on this support ties together a support of longitudinal arch of the foot, which from lower side of insole is formed of a deflection of support of longitudinal arch arranged under the protrusion of support of longitudinal arch of the foot on upper side of the insole. This insole secures the most suitable distribution of body weight between the carrying elements of the foot, and thus natural load of its individual parts.

As it is apparent from the
Fig. 1a and 1b , which schematically represent the foot skeleton when standing or during walking wearing the shoe according to the invention, the instep is not loaded excessively and the transverse arch does not collapse, like at usage of present types of shoes -Fig. 2a and 2b , thanks to which the protractors (extensors) and flexors of toes as well as the Achilles tendon and further muscles or ligaments of foot are fully functioning and they are properly and naturally loaded. Wearing of the shoe according to the invention helps to prevent number of health problems, affecting not only the foot itself, but they may consequently affect also other parts of the body, especially other parts of legs, the spine, etc. - The shoe according to the invention is based on synergetic joint action of several elements. The first of them is the insole, which is in the shoe mounted according to requirements in a fixed manner (innersole) or in a removable manner (sock lining), and which on its upper side comprises at least a depression for big toe joint and a depression for heel bone. Thanks to these depressions this insole maintains the foot in its natural position and facilitates proper distribution of weight of human body among its main supporting points formed of big toe joint, toe joints and heel bone. Lowering of heel bone simultaneously helps to achieve proper position of the whole leg, which brings relief not only for its so far extremely stressed parts, especially ligaments and joints, but also for spine, thus uprights human body and transfers its centre of gravity into natural position. In various variants of embodiment the insole next to the depression for big toe joint and the depression for heel bone may be provided with further elements like e.g. a protrusion for support of longitudinal arch, etc.
- At single layer insole the depression for big toe joint and for heel bone is performed either through suitable shaping, e.g. depression and/or change of thickness of insole in places of these recessions and/or openings performed in the body of the insole. At multilayer insole these recessions may be also formed through suitable shaping of insole or its carrying layer and/or openings performed at least in any of its layers.
- The most suitable insole, which brings the best results, is the insole known e.g. from the
CZ patent 298894 EP patent application 1854371 , which from the lower side features a shape of bottom part of human foot (the sole) and from the upper side a shape of impression of bottom part of human foot. The lower side of insole then in the heel section comprises a heel protrusion arranged under a heel depression on upper side of the insole, which is from outside delimited by a deflection of cuboid bone arranged under a support of cuboid bone on upper side of the insole, and on which ties together a protrusion of longitudinal splint bone arranged under a depression of longitudinal splint bone on upper side of the insole. On the protrusion of longitudinal splint bone ties together a protrusion of little toe joints arranged under depression of little toe joints on upper side of the insole, which runs via deflection of a support of transverse arch towards inner section of insole into a protrusion of big toe joint, arranged under a depression of big toe joint on upper side of the insole. Simultaneously the support of transverse arch creates a flexible bridge between a section of insole under big toe joint and under little toe joints. Towards heel of insole on this support ties together a support of longitudinal arch of foot, which is from the lower side of insole formed of a deflection of the support of longitudinal arch arranged under a protrusion of support of longitudinal arch of foot on upper side of insole. In embodiment according to theCZ patent application 2009-580 WO 2011023148 , the heel part of this insole with heel dimple is further lowered towards its middle section by means of recession or lowering. - Another element of the shoe, which jointly cooperates with the insole is at least one biomechanical elastic insertion 1 (a spring) created from elastic material, which is incorporated in the upper of the shoe in area, which is in contact with instep of the foot, while it extends, as per the type of the shoe, up to the edge of the instep or to the opening in the shoe, or to transition of instep of the shoe into middle or rear portion of the upper of the shoe. This insertion with advantage is performed as multilayered one, when it from outer side contains folded
layer 2 of material from which the upper of the shoe (e.g. leather) is produced, this being firmly attached for example sewn together with under it arranged elastic layer 3 (e.g. a textile rubber), that renders to it suitable elastic properties - see theFig. 3 . In preferred example of embodiment designed especially for enclosed shoes, on surface of theelastic layer 3 adjacent to the inner space of the shoe there is further positioned a layer of hydrophobic or waterproof material, e.g. neoprene, etc. Another applicable structures of biomechanicelastic insertion 1 are, based on the above mentioned facts, apparent to an average person skilled in the art, and that is why they will not be described hereinafter. - According to the type of shoe the elastic insertion/
insertions 1 positioned in area of instep of the shoe may be added by another ones, as to the structure identical or similarelastic insertions 1, positioned in other parts of the shoe, as it further will be described and illustrated on several particular types of shoes. As it is apparent from the below mentioned exemplary embodiments of the shoe according to the invention, the shape, size and individual positioning of any of theelastic insertions 1 are given by the structure and design of the shoe, shape of its parts, its size and purpose, though in various examples of embodiment they may differ. - The
