Definitions

  • the present invention relates primarily to indoor shoes such as those for volleyball or basketball.
  • JP2005-152490A (Abstract)
  • EP1190635 A1 discloses a system that includes a supporting portion for supporting the lateral side of the foot, a fastening element of a loop shape that surrounds the periphery of the calcaneus (f2) of the foot, and a second fastening element of a loop shape that is provided integrally with the supporting portion.
  • the present invention includes:
  • this loop-shaped wrap W extends, on the medial side M, from the heel portion W1 via the twisted portion W2 into the medial bottom portion W3 reaching the ball O1 of the big toe under the foot sole, and extends, on the lateral side L, from the heel portion W1 , covering the side surface and/or the upper surface of the area from the cuboid bone BCu to the tuberosity (the rough surface) B5f of the fifth metatarsal bone, and further extends over the instep in a diagonally forward direction, reaching the ball O1 of the big toe.
  • the loop-shaped wrap W will pull the lateral side L of the heel toward the medial side M both from the medial side M and from the lateral side L, and pull the lateral side L of the instep toward the medial side M.
  • loop-shaped refers not only to cases where the wrap W forms a complete loop (endless), but also to cases where the wrap W is locally discontinuous, e.g., in the area of the big toe. Even if it is locally discontinuous, the pulling effect of the wrap W will be realized as long as it is substantially loop-shaped.
  • less-stretchable material means a non-stretchable material such that the wrap W substantially or essentially does not stretch under a load that can be applied thereon during play. Therefore, a “less-stretchable material” is preferably less stretchable than a foamed resin of a midsole 5, and is more preferably less stretchable than a rubber outsole 4.
  • band-shaped includes a belt, and includes a plurality of cords (strings) arranged generally parallel to one another (placed in a parallel arrangement).
  • the "medial bottom portion W3 extending along a medial side portion of the foot sole” means that a member separate from a sole may be arranged along the medial side portion of the upper surface of the sole or that the portion may be formed by the medial side portion itself of the sole extending along the medial side portion of the foot sole.
  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 includes a first portion W41 and a second portion W42 each having a band-shaped and/or cord-shaped configuration; and the athletic shoe further includes a connecting structure J for detachably connecting together the first portion W41 and the second portion W42.
  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 is provided with the connecting structure J for attaching/detaching between the first portion W41 and the second portion W42. Therefore, the wearer can easily switch between the fastened (tightened) state and the loosened state of the wrap W.
  • the connecting structure J is such that: a tip portion of the second portion W42 has a through hole W40 defined therein, through which the first portion W41 is passed, and a tip portion of the first portion W41 is inserted through the through hole W40 and is folded back.
  • the athletic shoe further includes a shoelace 3 for fastening an upper 6 wrapping around the instep, a shoelace 3 is engaged with the folded-back tip portion of the first portion W41.
  • the athletic shoe further includes an exterior member 2 covering at least a portion of the interior member 1; and a portion of the diagonal transverse portion W4 is arranged between the interior member 1 and the exterior member 2.
  • the rigidity (stiffness or stiffer) of the upper 6 inevitably becomes large.
  • the wrap W is arranged on the outer periphery of the upper 6 having a large rigidity, the pulling force from the wrap W will unlikely act on the foot.
  • the pulling force of the wrap W acts directly on the foot via the interior member 1, which is more flexible than the exterior member 2. This will make it easy to suppress the "lateral bulging" or the supination of the heel.
  • the wrap W is unlikely to be exposed over the exterior member 2, and the wrap W will not possibly hinder play.
  • the interior member 1 includes a lateral-side interior member 10 in contact with a lateral side surface of the foot;
  • the exterior member 2 includes a lateral-side exterior member 20 covering the lateral-side interior member 10; and a portion of the diagonal transverse portion W4 is arranged between the lateral-side interior member 10 and the lateral-side exterior member 20.
  • the wrap W is hidden between the interior member 1 and the exterior member 2, and the wrap W will not hinder other players during play.
  • interior member includes a member, as a part of the tongue, arranged on the medial side M or the lateral side L of the foot.
  • the lateral-side exterior member 20 is not attached to the lateral-side interior member 10; and a plurality of engagement portions 27, with which the shoelace 3 for fastening an upper 6 wrapping around the instep, are provided in a non-attached portion 201 of the lateral-side exterior member 20 that is not attached to the lateral-side interior member 10.
  • the lateral rigidity of the upper 6 is increased by the lateral-side interior member 10 and the lateral-side exterior member 20, while facilitating the dorsal flexion of the foot.
  • the lateral-side exterior member 20 has a cutout (notch) 29 extending downward from an upper end of the lateral-side exterior member 20.
  • the cutout 29 further facilitates the dorsal flexion of the foot.
  • the athletic shoe further includes an attached portion W10 where the lateral-side exterior member 20 is integrally attached to the lateral-side interior member 10 in the heel portion W1 ; and a non-attached portion 201 where the lateral-side exterior member 20 is not attached to the lateral-side interior member 10 at least in an upper portion of a middle foot section, wherein an area from a front end to a rear end of an upper portion of the non-attached portion 201 is set to be non-attached to the lateral-side interior member 10.
  • the attached portion W10 having a high rigidity improves the heel holding property, while the movement of the middle foot portion is unlikely to be hindered because of the non-attached portion W11 having a low rigidity.
  • the athletic shoe further includes:
  • the athletic shoe further includes:
  • the cleats are formed by a non-foamed material of a synthetic resin or by a metal.
  • the sole of a leather or a non-foamed material of a synthetic resin having a large rigidity may function as the medial bottom portion W3, and it may not be needed to separately provide a member for the medial bottom portion W3.
  • an upper 6 wrapping around the instep includes the interior member 1 and an exterior member 2 that is less stretchable than the interior member 1; a lower edge of the exterior member 2 extends along an inner surface of an upper edge of a sole; and the lower edge of the exterior member 2 and a portion of the sole form at least a portion of the medial bottom portion W3.
  • the lower edge of the exterior member 2 that is less stretchable and a portion of the sole form at least a portion of the medial bottom portion W3, which will allow for a lower cost as compared with a case where a non-stretchable material to be the medial bottom portion W3 is provided separately.
  • the sole includes:
  • the medial bottom portion W3 is reinforced by the reinforcement member, thus making it easy to suppress stretching or bending of the medial bottom portion W3.
  • one end portion of the diagonal transverse portion W4 extends from a side surface of the ball O1 of the big toe so as to slip under the ball O1 of the big toe, and extends along an upper surface of the sole (shoe sole) so as to cover at least a portion of a bottom surface of the ball O1 of the big toe.
  • the sole includes a roll-up portion 50 rolled up on a medial side of a middle foot section; and the front end portion of the twisted portion W2 extends along an upper surface of the roll-up portion 50 so as to slip into (get into) between an arch MA on the medial side M of the foot sole and the roll-up portion.
  • the front end portion of the twisted portion W2 is sandwiched between the arch of the medial side of the foot and the roll-up portion of the sole, and the front end of the twisted portion W2 of the wrap is held down by the arch on the medial side of the foot, thereby increasing the effect of suppressing the "lateral bulging", etc.
  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 extends spirally and continuously along a surface of the instep along a path to a portion of the upper surface of the big toe starting from an area covering at least a portion of the cuboid bone BCu and/or at least a portion of the tuberosity (the rough surface) B5f of the fifth metatarsal bone B5.
  • the term “extend spirally” means that while the surface of the instep is a complicated curved surface, the diagonal transverse portion W4 extends along the curved surface so as to be diagonally wound around the curved surface.
  • the term “extend continuously” means that where the diagonal transverse portion W4 is completely divided between the medial side and the lateral side and an ordinary shoelace connects together the medial side and the lateral side of the upper, the ordinary shoelace itself does not form the diagonal transverse portion W4.
  • shoelace is an essentially or substantially non-stretchable shoelace and if the shoelace is arranged along the spiral pattern, that shoelace forms a part of the diagonal transverse portion W4.
  • the wrap W includes the heel portion W1 , the twisted portion W2, the medial bottom portion W3 and the diagonal transverse portion W4. Note that in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9 , the wrap W is shaded with fine dots.
  • the heel portion W1 continuously covers the medial side M, the back surface B and the lateral side L of the calcaneal bone BC.
  • the twisted portion W2 of FIG. 1 has a band-shaped and/or cord-shaped configuration and is continuous with the front end portion of the heel portion W1 on the medial side M of the heel portion W1 , extending toward under the foot sole while being twisted on the medial side M of the foot.

  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 is continuous with the front end portion of the heel portion W1 , and covers at least a portion of the cuboid bone BCu and/or at least a portion of the rough surface B5f of the fifth metatarsal bone B5. It has a band-shaped and/or cord-shaped configuration and further extends across the upper surface of the instep in a diagonally forward direction, covering a portion of the upper surface of the big toe and at least a portion of the side surface of the ball O1 of the big toe of FIG. 1 .
  • the upper edge of the wrap W slopes downward while extending in the forward direction, passing through the side surface of a rear portion of the calcaneal bone BC, from a position above the rear end of the calcaneal bone BC.

  • the first lateral-side exterior member 21 has a cutout 29 of a V-letter shape, a trapezoidal shape, or the like, extending downward from the upper end of the first lateral-side exterior member 21.
  • the wrap W arranged as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 fastens the foot as the shoelace 3 is inserted through the cord-passing hole J0 with the first portion W41 and the second portion W42 engaged with each other.
  • a substantial side brake acts on the medial side of FIG. 4
  • the lower end portion W43 of the first portion W41 and the front end portion W21 of the twisted portion W2 are sandwiched between the foot sole and the sole 4A on the medial side of the foot. Therefore, on the lateral side of the foot of FIG. 6 , the loop-shaped wrap W suppresses the "lateral bulging", the supination of the heel portion, etc.
  • the connecting structure J may be a belt of which the male surface and the female surface engage with each other.
  • the wrap W is band-shaped except for the medial bottom portion W3 in the present embodiment, the wrap W may be formed by a plurality of cords arranged parallel to each other.
  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 and the twisted portion W2 may be inserted between the outsole 4 and the midsole 5.
  • the diagonal transverse portion W4 and the twisted portion W2 may be inserted between the two layers of the midsole.
  • the lower end portion W43 of the diagonal transverse portion W4 and the front end portion W21 of the twisted portion W2 may be secured to the midsole by means of a fastening device such as a bolt and a tacker (stapler).
  • a fastening device such as a bolt and a tacker (stapler).
  • the lower end portion W43 of the diagonal transverse portion W4 and the front end portion W21 of the twisted portion W2 do not need to be slipping under the foot sole, and there may instead be provided an exterior member, at the lower end portion of the medial side surface of the upper 6, for connecting together the diagonal transverse portion W4 and the twisted portion W2.
  • the non-stretchable member of the wrap W may be a combination of a band and a plurality of cords, or may be a band whose width is partially widened or narrowed.
  • the diameter of the holes provided in the upper 6 for allowing the shoelace 3 to pass therethrough may be made smaller than the diameter of the shoelace 3. In such a case, the shoelace 3 can move less easily so that the fastened state of the connecting structure can be maintained more easily.
  • the structure of the present invention may be applied only to a shoe for the pivot foot (pivoting foot), or the structure of the present invention may be applied to both feet.
  • the present invention is applicable not only to indoor shoes for volleyball, handball, etc., but also to shoes for outdoor sports.
