Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boots that are worn by an angler and the like.
  • Boots are used in fishing.
  • a boot includes a main body and a lining.
  • a rubber such as a natural rubber or a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride is used.
  • the lining is joined to an inner surface of the main body. The lining facilitates to slide of a foot at the time of putting on and taking off the boot. It is easy to put on and take off the boots including linings.
  • Some boots have sponge used as the linings. Sponge has a high cushioning property. The pain in the feet can be relieved by the sponge.
  • the lining has excellent heat insulation properties.
  • the boots having the linings are excellent in heat retainability. These boots are preferably used in fishing in the winter season.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide boots which are excellently comfortable to wear. Another object of the present invention is to provide boots which can easily be taken off.
  • a boot according to the present invention includes a sole, and an upper.
  • the upper has an inner layer, and an outer layer that is stacked on a part of a surface of the inner layer so that a part of the inner layer is not covered by the outer layer and is exposed.
  • the outer layer is not present in a region corresponding to a front side of an ankle of a wearer so that the exposed inner layer forms a first exposed portion, wherein the first exposed portion is surrounded by the outer layer.
  • the outer layer is furthermore not present in a region corresponding to a calf of the wearer so that the exposed inner layer forms a second exposed portion, whereas at an upper end of the second exposed portion the outer layer is not present so that the upper end of the second exposed portion is an upper end of the inner layer.
  • the inner layer has a polymer molded product containing cells.
  • the outer layer preferably has a polymer molded product that does not contain a cell.
  • the inner layer may be formed by a plurality of members being joined. A joint portion of one member and another member adjacent to the one member is preferably covered with the outer layer.
  • the boot in which the outer layer is not present in the region corresponding to the front side of the ankle of a wearer is excellently comfortable to wear.
  • the boot in which the outer layer is not present in the region corresponding to the calf of the wearer can easily be taken off.
  • a boot 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is worn by an angler or the like.
  • the boot 2 is for a left foot.
  • a boot for a right foot has a shape mirror-symmetrical to the shape of the boot 2.
  • the boot 2 has a sole 4, an upper 6 and an edging 7.
  • the sole 4 is formed of an outsole 8 and an insole (not shown).
  • the outsole 8 contacts the ground.
  • the grooves 10 restrain slip of the outsole 8 on a wet ground.
  • the outsole 8 is formed from a cross-linked rubber composition.
  • the outsole 8 may be formed from a resin composition.
  • the upper 6 has an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12.
  • the inner layer 11 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
  • the inner layer 11 corresponds to a foot and a shank of a wearer.
  • the inner layer 11 is bag-shaped.
  • the inner layer 11 has the shape similar to a shape of a sock.
  • the edging 7 covers an upper end of the upper 6. As shown in FIG. 2 , the profile of the edging 7 is "U"-shaped. The edging 7 protects the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12. The edging 7 is sewn onto the upper 6 by a thread. The edging 7 may be joined to the upper 6 by an adhesive. As a material of the edging 7, synthetic leather or artificial leather is provided as an example.
  • the inner layer 11 is partially covered with the outer layer 12.
  • the outer layer 12 is stacked on a part of the inner layer 11.
  • the outer layer 12 is joined to the inner layer 11 by an adhesive. Joining may be achieved by vulcanized adhesion. Joining may be achieved by fusion.
  • a part of the inner layer 11 is not covered with the outer layer 12. In other words, a part of the inner layer 11 is exposed.
  • a region corresponding to a front side of an ankle of the wearer, and a region corresponding to the calf of the wearer, the inner layer 11 is exposed.
  • the region which corresponds to the front side of the ankle of the wearer and which is a region where the inner layer 11 is exposed is called first exposed portion 14.
  • the region which corresponds to the calf of the wearer and which is a region where the inner layer 11 is exposed is called second exposed portion 16.
  • the first exposed portion 14 is surrounded by the outer layer 12. Whereas at an upper side of the second exposed portion, the outer layer 12 is not present. Accordingly, an upper end E (see FIG. 2 ) of the second exposed portion 16 is also an upper end of the inner layer 11.
  • the outer layer 12 is not present. Accordingly, the first exposed portion 14 is flexible. When the wearer crouches, the first exposed portion 14 bends. The bending does not require a large force. When the wearer crouches, the first exposed portion 14 does not press the shank of the wearer. The boot 2 is excellently comfortable to wear.
  • the outer layer 12 is not present in the second exposed portion 16. Accordingly, the second exposed portion 16 is flexible.
  • the second exposed portion 16 easily deforms. The deformation does not require a large force. The wearer can easily take off the boot 2.
  • the inner layer 11 is formed of an inner jersey layer 18, a sponge layer 20, and an outer jersey layer 22.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 is stacked on an inner surface of the sponge layer 20.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 is joined to the sponge layer 20 by an adhesive.
  • the outer jersey layer 22 is stacked on an outer surface of the sponge layer 20.
  • the outer jersey layer 22 is joined to the sponge layer 20 by an adhesive.
  • the sponge layer 20 is a polymer molded product containing closed cells.
  • the sponge layer 20 is water-impermeable.
  • the sponge layer 20 is flexible.
  • the sponge layer 20 does not hinder the wearer to crouch.
  • the sponge layer 20 has high cushioning properties. With the sponge layer 20, the pain of the wearer is relieved.
  • the sponge layer 20 has high heat insulation properties.
  • the sponge layer 20 contributes to heat retainability. From the viewpoints of the cushioning property and heat retainability, a thickness of the sponge layer 20 is preferably 2 mm or more, and especially preferably 3 mm or more.
  • the thickness is preferably 10 mm or less, and is especially preferably 5 mm or less.
  • an expansion ratio of the sponge layer 20 is preferably 1.5 times or higher, and is especially preferably 2.0 times or higher. From the viewpoint of strength, the expansion ratio is preferably 10 times or lower, and is especially preferably 8 times or lower.
  • the expansion ratio is the ratio of the density of the molded product at the time of assuming that no cell is present, to the density of the sponge layer 20.
  • nylon and polyurethane are provided as examples.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 and the outer jersey layer 22 protect the sponge layer 20.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 further contributes to slide of a foot at the time of being put on and taken off.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 and the outer jersey layer 22 have a high stretchability.
  • the inner jersey layer 18 and the outer jersey layer 22 do not inhibit the cushioning property by the sponge layer 20.
  • the outer layer 12 is a polymer molded product that does not contain cells.
  • the outer layer 12 is formed from a cross-linked rubber composition.
