Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe sole focusing on the windlass mechanism.
  • Shoes with multiple or many transverse grooves extending in the transverse direction on the bottom surface of the shoe sole are well known in the art.
  • the middle foot portion of the sole does not easily deform, and the foot movement is restricted.
  • the deformation of the arch of the foot tends to be small. Therefore, even if the toe portion has an easy-to-flex structure, the arch portion of the sole does not flex so as to protrude upward.
  • a shoe sole of the present invention includes:
  • the presence of the second transverse groove and the third transverse groove allows for a portion of the shoe sole from the middle foot portion to the rear foot portion to deform (flex) into an upwardly protruding shape. Therefore, when the toe is elevated facing upward and the MP joint is extended over the first transverse groove, the plantar muscles, including at least the plantar aponeurosis, are rolled up upward, thereby tensioning the plantar aponeurosis, which makes it easier for the arch of the foot to rise.
  • the second transverse groove provided in an area between the Chopart's joint and the Lisfranc joint, including the navicular bone where the arch of the foot is highest, is deeper than the first transverse groove, and is equal to or deeper than the third transverse groove. Therefore, the rest of the midsole is thin and it becomes easier for the shoe sole to flex, thereby facilitating the upward displacement of the area where the arch is highest.
  • the midsole in the middle foot portion tends to be thick along the arch of the foot. Therefore, with the second transverse groove having a large depth, the shoe sole is easily flexed over the second transverse groove even if the midsole overall has a large average thickness.
  • a flexion area including at least one third transverse groove is provided directly below the talus, and has a larger width than other transverse grooves. This makes it easier for the rear foot portion directly below the talus to flex, thereby facilitating the upward displacement of the area of the arch.
  • the groove width of the second transverse groove is smaller than the width of the flexion area, thereby making it possible to suppress the lowering of the arch.
  • the flexion area has a large width and thus easily undergoes compressive deformation, which makes it possible to absorb the impact on the heel.
  • flexion area means that where there are a plurality of third transverse grooves, the groove ratio is 30% or more and less than 100%, wherein the groove ratio is the total value of the groove widths of the plurality of third transverse grooves with respect to the distance from the most anterior one of the front wall surfaces of the plurality of third transverse grooves, which are directly below the talus, to the most posterior one of the rear wall surfaces of the plurality of third transverse grooves.
  • the groove ratio is preferably 40% or more, and most preferably 50% or more.
  • the "longitudinal axis of the foot” as used in the present invention is represented by a straight line that connects between the center of the heel and the midpoint between the center of the ball of the big toe and the center of ball of the little toe.
  • transverse direction does not only mean to extend in the exact transverse direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, but also include a diagonally slant direction and a meandering shape.
  • the phrase "the first transverse groove extends in the transverse direction at the position of the MP joint (metatarsal phalangeal joint) or the base of the proximal phalanx of the first to third toes" means that at least a portion of the first transverse groove is provided so as to overlap with a portion of the MP joint or the base of the proximal phalanx of the first to third toes.
  • groove width means the width of a groove at the lower end thereof where an opening is formed. Therefore, the average groove width means the average value of the width of the groove at the lower end thereof where an opening is formed. Note that the term “average groove width” means that the width of the first or second transverse groove may locally be larger than the width of the flexion area.
  • the groove width of each groove is preferably about 1 mm to 50 mm.
  • each groove width of each groove is for allowing the shoe sole to flex into an upwardly protruding shape in the middle foot portion. Note that the groove width exceeding 50 mm will hinder the stability of the foot support.
  • the average depth means that the first or third transverse groove may locally be deeper than the second transverse groove.
  • the average depth means the value obtained by averaging the largest depths along the cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis. That is, it means the average depth for the area where V-shaped or U-shaped depressions are connected together.
  • an average groove width of at least one of the third transverse groove is larger than the average groove width of the first transverse groove and is larger than the average groove width of each of the at least one second transverse groove.
  • the shoe sole further includes an auxiliary transverse groove continuously extending in the transverse direction from the medial edge so as to reach at least the longitudinal axis at a position directly below a base or a shaft of a first metatarsal bone.
  • the shoe sole will likely flex smoothly in conformity with the shape of the arch whose apex is at the navicular bone.
  • the shaft refers to a portion between the base and the head, and the thickness thereof typically changes smoothly.
  • the base refers to a portion of each bone that is close to the posterior (heel side) joint and that is slightly expanding to a greater thickness, and it is referred to also as the proximal head.
  • the head refers to a portion of each bone that is close to the anterior (toe side) joint and that is slightly expanding to a greater thickness, and it is referred to also as the distal head.
  • an average depth of the auxiliary transverse groove is smaller than the average depth of the second transverse groove, and an average groove width of the auxiliary transverse groove is smaller than the average groove width of at least one of the third transverse groove.
  • the auxiliary transverse groove having a small depth and a small width will further smoothen the flexion of the shoe sole in conformity with the shape of the arch whose apex is at the navicular bone, and will not assist in lowering the arch of the foot.
  • the first transverse groove is depressed upwardly from the tread surface.
  • each of the grooves is defined by the front wall surface, the rear wall surface and a ceiling above; a thickness from an upper surface of the midsole to the ceiling of the first transverse groove is set to be 0.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less and less than 12 mm at a thinnest portion; a thickness from the upper surface of the midsole to the ceiling of the second transverse groove is set to be 0.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less at a thinnest portion; and a thickness from the upper surface of the midsole to the ceiling of the third transverse groove is set to be 0.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less at a thinnest portion.
  • the midsole flexes at the thinnest portion. Therefore, if the thickness of the first transverse groove to the ceiling is over 12 mm at the thinnest portion or if the thickness of the second and third transverse grooves to the ceiling is over 10 mm at the thinnest portion, the midsole will not easily flex.
  • the thinnest portion is less than 0.5 mm, it will be difficult to manufacture the midsole.
  • a maximum depth of the second and third transverse grooves is 5 mm or more and 40 mm or less; the maximum depth of each of the at least one second transverse groove is larger than a thickness of a portion of the midsole that is directly above an area where the second transverse groove having that maximum depth is provided; and the maximum depth of each of the at least one third transverse groove is larger than a thickness of a portion of the midsole that is directly above an area where the third transverse groove having that maximum depth is provided.
  • the average depths of the second and third transverse grooves are 5 mm or more and 40 mm or less; the average depth of at least one, preferably two or more, of the second transverse groove is larger than an average thickness of a portion of the midsole that is directly above an area where the at least one second transverse groove is provided; and the average depth of at least one of the third transverse groove is larger than an average thickness of a portion of the midsole that is directly above an area where the at least one third transverse groove is provided.
  • the shoe sole will not easily flex. On the other hand, if these values are over 40 mm, the shoe sole will be too thick.
  • the second transverse groove continuously extends across the shoe sole from the medial edge to a lateral edge of the foot; and the second transverse groove has a larger average depth on a medial side of the foot than an average depth thereof on a lateral side of the foot.
  • the arch of the foot is higher on the medial side than on the lateral side. Therefore, as the average depth of the second transverse groove is larger on the medial side than on the lateral side, the shoe sole can easily flex following the rise of the arch of the foot.
  • the third transverse groove continuously extends across the shoe sole from the medial edge to a lateral edge of the foot; and the third transverse groove has a larger average depth on a medial side of the foot than an average depth thereof on a lateral side of the foot.
  • the arch of the foot is higher on the medial side than on the lateral side. Therefore, as the average depth of the third transverse groove is larger on the medial side than on the lateral side, the shoe sole can easily flex following the rise of the arch of the foot.
  • the average depth of at least two second transverse grooves is larger than the average depth of the first transverse groove and is equal to or larger than the average depth of each of the at least one third transverse groove.
  • the middle foot portion can easily flex smoothly.
  • an average groove width of at least two of the third transverse grooves is larger than the average groove width of the first transverse groove and is larger than the average groove width of each of the at least one second transverse groove.
  • the posterior end of the middle foot portion can easily flex smoothly in conformity with the posterior portion of the arch of the foot.
  • the shoe sole is further provided with a longitudinal groove extending from the first transverse groove to the third transverse groove; and the shoe sole further comprises a band portion placed in the longitudinal groove, the band portion extending from the fore foot portion, which is anterior to the first transverse groove, to the rear foot portion, which is posterior to the third transverse groove, the band portion being secured to the shoe sole in the fore foot portion and in the rear foot portion, and the band portion being formed by a material that is less stretchable than the midsole and the outsole.
  • an abrasion-resistant material which is less susceptible to abrasion than the band portion, is attached to a lower surface of the band portion, and the band portion and the abrasion-resistant material together form the band.
  • the band can be placed close to the tread surface.
  • a bottom surface of the band is placed above the tread surface.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show Embodiment 1. Note that in order to facilitate the description of the invention, FIG. 1 shows the medial side of a shoe for the left foot whereas FIG. 2 shows a lateral side view of a shoe for the right foot.
  • a shoe sole includes an outsole 1, and a midsole 2.
  • minute grooves (so-called a design) formed on a tread surface 1S of the outsole 1 are omitted.
  • the outsole 1 and the midsole 2 are placed across the fore foot portion F, the middle foot portion M and the rear foot portion R.
  • the outsole 1 is formed by a foamed or non-foamed rubber, for example, and has the tread surface 1s which has a higher abrasion resistance than the midsole 2 and which is to be in contact with the road surface.
  • the midsole 2 is formed by a foamed resin such as EVA, for example, and is placed on the outsole 1, as shown in FIG. 2 , for reducing the impact of landing. Therefore, the midsole 2 is formed thicker than the outsole 1.
  • the hardness of the midsole 2 is preferably 45 to 75 degrees and more preferably 50 to 70 degrees in JIS C hardness, for example.
  • a first transverse groove G1, second transverse grooves G2, third transverse grooves G3, and auxiliary transverse grooves G4 are formed both in the outsole 1 and in the midsole 2.
  • each of the transverse grooves G1 to G4 extends from a medial edge 10 to a lateral edge 11 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A1 or in a slant direction crossing the longitudinal axis A1.
  • the longitudinal axis A1 is placed along a straight line that connects between the midpoint 03 (between the ball O1 of the big toe and the ball 05 of the little toe) and the center 04 of the heel.
  • the first transverse groove G1 continuously extends in the transverse direction X from the medial edge 10 to the lateral edge 11 ( FIG. 3 ) at the position of the metatarsal phalangeal joint MP and/or the base B30 of the proximal phalanx B3 of the first to third toes.
  • the first transverse groove G1 makes it easier for the metatarsal phalangeal joint MP to flex.
  • the second transverse grooves G2 continuously extend in the transverse direction X from the medial edge 10 to the lateral edge 11 ( FIG. 3 ), in an area between the Chopart's joint JS of the first toe and the posterior end JLb of the Lisfranc joint JL.
  • NB denotes the navicular bone
  • CB denotes the medial cuneiform bone
  • the third transverse grooves G3 continuously extend in the transverse direction X from the medial edge 10 to the lateral edge 11 ( FIG. 3 ), in an area between the anterior end Tf and the posterior end Tb of the talus Ta.
  • the auxiliary transverse grooves G4 continuously extend in the transverse direction X from the medial edge 10 to the lateral edge 11 ( FIG. 3 ) at a position directly below the base B40 or the shaft B41 of the first metatarsal bone B4.
  • auxiliary transverse grooves G4 there are two (a plurality of) auxiliary transverse grooves G4, and the two auxiliary transverse grooves G4 work in cooperation with each other, thereby forming an auxiliary flexion area SA.
  • the first to fourth transverse grooves G1 to G4 are provided so as to be depressed upwardly from the bottom surface of the shoe sole, i.e., the tread surface 1s in the present embodiment.
  • the first transverse groove G1 may be formed so as to be depressed downwardly from the upper surface of the midsole 2.
  • Each of the grooves G1 to G4 includes a front wall surface Fw, a rear wall surface Bw opposing the front wall surface Fw, and a ceiling T0, which define the groove G1 to G4.
  • the middle foot flexion area MA is defined as an area extending from the most anterior one of the front wall surfaces Fw of the plurality of second transverse grooves G2 to the most posterior one of the rear wall surfaces Bw of the plurality of second transverse grooves G2.

  • the average value of the width D20 of the middle foot flexion area MA may be less than or equal to the average distance from the anterior end Tf to the posterior end Tb of the talus Ta.

  • the soles 1 and 2 need to flex and deform so as to protrude upward in the middle foot portion M. Then, the groove widths of the second to fourth transverse grooves G2 to G4 may possibly decrease. There are also manufacturing-related problems. Therefore, the average groove width of each of the first to fourth transverse grooves G1 to
  • G4 would need to be at least about 1 mm.
  • the maximum value of the average groove width of each of the first to fourth transverse grooves G1 to G4 would be 50 mm. If the value exceeds 50 mm, the sole itself, which supports the sole of the foot, drops down, thereby leading to lowering of the arch.
