Description

Ergonomic shoe

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a shoe that It has been conceived and structured in order to get for it a high degree of ergonomics, that is, an optimal relationship between the footwear and the user's foot, especially at the toe level and heel.

More specifically the object of the invention is to achieve a damping effect the extreme parts of the footwear, those intended to come into contact with the toes and with the heel, which are the ones that are normally subjected to impacts or friction, greatly increasing the comfort that said footwear offers the user in its use when walking.

The invention is equally applicable to boots or any other type of footwear that is equipped with level reinforcements of the toe and heel, that is to say the classic front bumper and buttress.

Background of the invention

As is known in the structuring of a shoe a cut, usually of leather, of a textile nature or of other appropriate material, which is complemented internally with a lining, the latter resting directly on the surface of the foot.

Usually, both to shape the shoe as to protect the extreme areas of the foot from possible external aggressions, between the cut and the lining is set to previous level of the shoe a top of a rigid and level material of the heel a buttress of the same or similar nature. These elements, while protecting the foot from the outside, subject both to the toes and heels to a continuous rubbing, effect that It is not possible to cushion with a simple lining.

Regardless of the fact that the liners are usually are obtained based on cheap materials, in order to solve the problem mentioned above, sometimes such linings incorporate a spongy sheet to give the feeling of damping, but this effect disappears quickly, and the Foot contact occurs on the lining, which deteriorates when after a relatively short period of time, for the efforts suffering from walking and from the contact and pressure of both the fingers and Heel-like nails

This not only means deterioration for footwear but negative effects on the user's feet, with blackening of the nails, by the very action of the yolks of the fingers, sharpening in those that require actions of sudden braking, as the paddle liners do not guarantee damping characteristics as previously stated. In tasks such as driving, especially suffer these deficiencies, where the foot assumes positions for control in the pedals and where the greatest strength of the foot rests on the toes, which they are the ones who perform these movements and therefore they look affected by the constant friction with the lining.

The aforementioned problem is accentuated when footwear incorporates toe caps metallic external shock protectors, determinants of a high degree of hardness in this anterior area of footwear.

Description of the invention

The shoe that the invention proposes has been conceived in order to resolve in a fully satisfactory manner the problematic previously exposed, incorporating means of cushioning and anti-shock means for both Toes and toenails as for the heel area, which are specifically the areas in which, due to the mobility of the foot at walking, there are notable frictions with the lining, since it is in this area where the last contact of the foot with the ground occurs, in every step you take when walking.

For this and more specifically the invention it consists of providing both the top and the buttress of the shoe a cushioned inner lining of a soft material and suitable, such as based on urethane foam, such as marketed under the "Poron ®" brand, although they are usable Other materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, EVA, latex, silicone, etc., in any case with density and breathability adequate.

These coverings for the bumper and the Buttress can be directly attached to such elements, or be simply located between them and the lining, or be fixed to said lining, with a suitable thickness to meet its damping function

It is achieved in this way that all parts more sensitive feet, especially fingertips, will are assisted by high density elastic materials, with high anti-shock ability, which eliminate the Conventional problem discussed above.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1 shows a partial exploded view in perspective of an ergonomic shoe made according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2 shows a side elevation view and in longitudinal section of the shoe of the previous figure properly mounted.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the ergonomic shoe that is recommended is constituted as any conventional shoe, from a sole (1), usually covered by an inner template (2), sole at whose perimeter the cut (3), usually of leather, is fixed, provided with a lining or inner lining (4), standing between these elements, cut (3) and lining (4), a stop (5) at the level of the toe and a buttress (6) at heel level, so that these stop (5) and buttress (6), of a rigid material, give stability formal cut (3) and protect the extreme areas of the foot against Possible external impacts.

Well, according to the invention, both to the inner face of the stop (5) as to the inner face of the buttress (6) adapt respective damping elements (7) and (8), duly formed for a perfect adaptation to that one and with its same dimensions, which are hidden by the lining (4) and which, as previously stated, are of a material elastic, with high density and due breathability, as per example those cited "Poron ®", polyurethane, polyethylene, EVA, latex, silicone or similar.

These coverings or damping elements (7-8), which are established between the rigid stop (5) and the forelimb of the toes, and between the buttress (6) and the user's heel, enhance very considerable ergonomics or comfort in the normal use of shoe, specifically making the parties traditionally more hard of the same, in which the elderly usually occur foot damage, offer soft, soft and highly comfortable, without prejudice to the arming effect for the shoe cut, and the protective effect for the feet against agents and external impacts.

Claims (1)

1. Ergonomic shoe, the type of those located between the cut and the lining of the same, and at the level of the toe and heel, incorporate a rigid front buttress and a rear buttress, which participate both in the assembly of the cut and in the foot protection against external impacts, characterized in that, in correspondence with said stop and buttress, it incorporates two damping elements, adapted to the inner face of the stop and buttress and established, like the latter between the cut and the lining, said damping elements being a soft high density material, such as a urethane foam, polyurethane, polyethylene, EVA, latex, silicone or other similar material with density and breathability appropriate to the type of footwear.
