Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to footwear having an anti-slip function suitable for underwater walking in a pool or walking by a pool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various footwear in which a sole is provided with a slip prevention means have been proposed.

For example, in the shoe disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-25189, a large number of recessed holes are formed in the sole of the shoe, and a small conducting hole penetrating in the lateral direction is provided in the layer of the heel. The hole and the inner part of the recessed hole communicate with each other.

[0004] With this configuration, during walking, when weight is applied to the heel portion, the internal air is exhausted and the internal air is crushed, and at the same time, the communication of the crushed air is also blocked by the small communication hole communicating therewith. It is possible to exhibit a sucker action and adsorb to a floor surface or the like to prevent slip.

[0005] In addition to the above, various types having a structure in which a sucker is provided on the sole of the shoe have been proposed, and there is a high interest in shoes for preventing slip and ensuring safety.

[0006]

However, although each of the above techniques is effective on a wet floor or the like, it only makes it difficult to walk underwater.

That is, in recent years, walking in the pool has been encouraged and has been effective for maintaining the physical strength of the elderly or for walking training, and also for post-operative rehabilitation in the event of leg injuries, etc. When walking barefoot, you may slip, and people who are not good at swimming or rehabilitation patients who are prohibited from swimming themselves must hold the course rope, which will reduce the effect of walking training. We cannot pull out enough.

Therefore, it is conceivable to use the above-mentioned conventional footwear. However, the shoes are likely to come off underwater because of the high water resistance, and there is no danger, and there is no one suitable for actual use. Was.

In the shoes described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-25189, since the soles of the shoes communicate with the small holes, the water seems to escape from the bottom and it is easy to walk. However, it was too small to drain water and was not suitable for underwater walking.

An object of the present invention is to provide footwear having a slip prevention function capable of solving the above-mentioned problems.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention according to claim 1 comprises a shoe sole portion serving as a ground contact surface and a shoe body portion covering the foot, and the shoe sole portion and the shoe body portion. The inside and outside communication holes were provided on the shoe, and slip prevention means was provided on the sole of the shoe. Therefore, when walking in the water, it is hard to slip, and since the water escapes through the internal / external communication hole, the resistance is reduced, so that it is easy to walk and does not fall off from the foot.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, an opening for exposing the entire toe is formed in the shoe body, and a toe engaging portion is provided. Therefore, it is possible to walk with bare feet while keeping the difficulty of slipping, and the footwear does not come off.

According to the present invention, an opening for exposing at least the heel is formed in the shoe main body.
Therefore, it is possible to walk with bare feet while keeping the difficulty of slipping, and the footwear does not come off. In particular, when the entire toe is exposed, the contact area of the sole of the shoe is smaller and the barefoot sensation is improved, which is effective for underwater walking training.

According to the present invention, the slip prevention means comprises a plurality of suction cups. Therefore, slip can be prevented more reliably.

In the present invention, the shoe sole and the shoe main body are formed of a net. Therefore,
Since it can be used like socks instead of shoes, it does not become an obstacle when walking underwater, and since a mesh net is used, it is possible to walk with barefoot feeling.

Further, according to the present invention, the net-forming member on the sole of the shoe is made to carry a resin or the like to prevent slipping. Therefore, slip prevention can be reliably achieved.
