Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe suitable for indoor sports such as volleyball, for example.
  • This conventional example will increase the jump speed. Also, this structure will only be effective for the right foot of a right-footed player during a jump.
  • the present invention is directed to a shoe for indoor sports including:
  • the reinforcement plate of the present invention extends from posterior of heads of the proximal phalanges of the big toe and the little toe to anterior of the tip of the foot, and the reinforcement plate in the roll-up portion is rolled up from the front portion of the base portion upwardly above the upper surface of the front end portion of the midsole.
  • a part or whole of the front surface of the roll-up portion of the reinforcement plate of the present invention is covered by an anti-slip member. This reduces the slip, making it possible to realize an intended play (action).
  • the roll-up portion projects upwardly by 0.3 cm to 3.0 cm with respect to the upper surface of the mid sole.
  • the projection height of the roll-up portion is less than 0.3 cm, the advantageous effect set forth above will be insufficient, whereas if the projection height exceeds 3.0 cm, the rigidity of the toe of the shoe will be excessive.
  • the projection height is set more preferably to 0.4 cm to 2.0 cm, and most preferably to 0.4 cm to 1.5 cm.
  • a position of an upper end of the roll-up portion covering an anterior of a distal phalanx of the big toe is set to be below an upper surface of a base of the distal phalanx of the big toe.
  • the roll-up portion covering the distal phalanx may have openings (through holes) or cutouts.
  • the base plate portion continuously extends to posterior of metatarsal phalangeal joints (MP joints) of the big toe and the little toe.
  • MP joints metatarsal phalangeal joints
  • the reinforcement plate further integrally includes a connecting bar connecting together a medial side and a lateral side of the base plate portion, and a medial side end of the connecting bar is arranged posterior to a lateral side end thereof, and the connecting bar extends anterior as the connecting bar extends toward a lateral side.
  • the connecting bar extends in a direction crossing the array of MP joints of the foot. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce excessive extension of the MP joints.
  • the base plate portion extends to posterior of a Lisfranc joint on the medial side and the lateral side of the foot.
  • the anti-slip member covers the roll-up portion from a lower end to an upper end thereof.
  • the resin roll-up portion will not come into contact with the floor surface, and it is therefore possible to reliably reduce the slip.
  • the anti-slip member does not need to cover the entire surface of the roll-up portion, but openings (through holes) may be provided in the anti-slip member so that the reinforcement plate is slightly visible from the front side.
  • the base plate portion includes a lateral edge portion extending from the front portion in a posterior direction so as to cover a lateral edge of the mid sole, a lateral roll-up portion rolled up upwardly from the lateral edge portion, and a medial side portion spaced apart from a medial edge of the mid sole and extending from the front portion to posterior of a ball of the big toe along the medial edge so as to cover at least a portion of the big toe.
  • the medial side portion of the base portion extending along the big toe assists the flexion of the MP joint of the big toe having been extended during a jump, thereby increasing the jump height.
  • the lateral edge portion and the lateral roll-up portion extending along the lateral edge of the midsole not only assist the flexion on the little toe side, but also reduce the shifting of the foot toward the lateral side during landing or receiving.
  • FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 show Embodiment 1. Note that the figures do not show the upper of the shoe.
  • the present embodiment is, for example, a shoe for volleyball.
  • the sole shown in FIG. 1 includes an outsole 1, a midsole 2 and a reinforcement plate 3 integrally layered together via bonding or welding.
  • the outsole 1 shown in FIG. 6 is formed by a foamed material or a non-foamed material of a rubber, and has a greater frictional force on the floor surface than the midsole 2 and the reinforcement plate 3.
  • the outsole 1 includes a tread surface 1s to be in contact with the floor surface, and a roll-up portion at the front end forming an anti-slip member 1b to be described later.
  • the midsole 2 is arranged upward Z of the outsole 1, and covers the entire area of the sole of the foot.
  • the midsole 2 is formed mainly by a foamed material having a thermoplastic resin component such as EVA, for example, and absorbs the impact of landing. Note that as shown in FIG. 1 , a portion of the midsole 2 may have a rubber-like elastic shock absorber 29, etc.
  • An insole (inner sole) (not shown) is bonded on the midsole 2.
  • a sock liner is further attached on the insole in an upper (not shown). Note that an upper is for covering and wrapping the instep of the foot.
  • the reinforcement plate 3 is formed by a non-foamed material containing a thermoplastic resin component, and has a Young's modulus greater than the Young's modulus of the outsole 1 and the Young's modulus of the midsole 2.
  • the preferred Young's modulus value of the reinforcement plate 3 is 20 to 500 Mpa, more preferably 40 to 200 Mpa.
  • the reinforcement plate 3 is arranged between the outsole 1 and the midsole 2.
  • the reinforcement plate 3 is sandwiched between an upper surface 1a of the outsole 1 and a lower surface 2b of the midsole 2.
  • the reinforcement plate 3 may be arranged between the upper and lower layers of the midsole 2. Therefore, there is no particular limitation as long as the reinforcement plate 3 is arranged between the outsole 1 and the midsole 2.

  • a head refers to a portion of each bone that is close to the anterior joint and that is slightly expanding to a greater thickness and it is referred to also as a distal head.
  • a base refers to a portion of each bone that is close to the posterior joint and that is slightly expanding to a greater thickness and it is referred to also as a proximal head.
  • the front roll-up portion 3b is integrally continuous with the front portion 3f of the base portion 3a, and extends to anterior F of the front end of the midsole 2 while projecting, from the front portion 3f, upward Z of an upper surface 2a of a front end portion 2e of the midsole 2. Moreover, the front roll-up portion 3b is rolled up upward Z, and covers the anterior F of the big toe B1 as shown in FIG. 1 . That is, the front roll-up portion 3b extends along the midsole 2 toward an upper-forward diagonal direction past the front end of the midsole 2, and projects from the upper surface 2a at the front end of the midsole 2 in a crescent shape or a half-moon shape.
  • the front roll-up portion 3b is covered, from the lower end to the upper end of the front roll-up portion 3b, with the anti-slip member 1b of the outsole 1, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 . Note that the front roll-up portion 3b and the anti-slip member 1b cover the toe portion of the upper (not shown).
  • the anti-slip member 1b of FIG. 1 may be separate from the outsole 1. Small through holes or cutouts may be provided in the anti-slip member 1b so that the front roll-up portion 3b is partly visible from the front side.
  • the front roll-up portion 3b is projecting upwardly by 0.3 cm to 3.0 cm with respect to the upper surface 2a of the midsole 2 as shown in FIG. 6 . More preferably, the amount of projection ⁇ H is 0.4 cm to 2.0 cm.
  • the position of the upper end of the front roll-up portion 3b covering the distal phalanx B11 of the big toe B1 is set to be below an upper surface F11 of the base of the distal phalanx B11 of the big toe B1.
  • the base portion 3a continuously extends to posterior B of the metatarsal phalangeal joints MP of the big toe B1 and the little toe B5. Moreover, the base portion 3a extends to posterior B of the Lisfranc joint R on the medial side Me and the lateral side La of the foot.
  • the base portion 3a includes the lateral edge portion 30, a lateral roll-up portion 30b, the medial side portion 31 and the shank portion 32 as an integral part.
  • the lateral edge portion 30 of FIG. 2 extends toward the posterior B direction from the front portion 3f so as to cover a lateral edge 21 of the midsole 2.
  • the lateral roll-up portion 30b is rolled up upward Z from the lateral edge portion 30.
  • the medial side portion 31 is spaced apart from a medial edge 2m of the midsole 2, and extends from the front portion 3f along the medial edge 2m to posterior B of the ball BO of the big toe of FIG. 5 , covering at least a portion of the big toe B1.
  • the base portion 3a of the reinforcement plate 3 is formed in a continuous loop shape extending from the front portion 3f and the front roll-up portion 3b to the shank portion 32 via the lateral edge portion 30 and the medial side portion 31.
  • the shank portion 32 reinforces the arch, as is well known in the art.
  • the reinforcement plate 3 further integrally includes the connecting bar 3c connecting together the medial side Me and the lateral side La of the base portion 3a.
  • a medial end 3m of the connecting bar 3c is arranged posterior B to a lateral end 31 thereof.
  • the connecting bar 3c extends anterior F as it extends toward the lateral side La.
  • the connecting bar 3c defines two through holes H1 and H2 in the loop-shaped reinforcement plate 3.
  • the connecting bar 3c will reduce excessive extension of the MP joints MP from the second toe B2 to the little toe B5.
  • both knees are bent, and then the MP joints are extended while extending the knees, thereby first lifting the right foot in the air, and then lifting the left foot in the art.
  • FIG. 7A shows the results of a test on the relationship between the floor reaction force Fz and the jump efficiency ⁇ Fz

  • the jump efficiency ⁇ Fz which is dotted in FIG. 7A , i.e., the impulse ⁇ Fz from when the floor reaction force Fz peaks until the foot comes completely off the floor, is speculated to have a strong correlation with the jump height as shown in FIG. 7B .
  • the MP joint remains extended while the toes anterior thereto kicks the floor surface. If it is made easier to exert power at the toes and kick the floor surface immediately before the take-off, the impulse ⁇ Fz will be the primary area ⁇ 1 (dotted) plus the additional area ⁇ 2 (hatched). This will increase the jump height.
  • the upper portion of the front roll-up portion 3b is exposed from the anti-slip member 1b, which is a roll-up portion of the outsole 1.
  • the exposed front roll-up portion 3b is large, and it will further increase the jump height when spiking.
