Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pair of foot balance-trimming socks capable of curing hallex valgus, regenerating the transverse arch at the wearer's sole so as to enable the wearer of walk properly. SOLUTION: The foot balance-correcting socks are such hallex valgus- correcting socks that the part to be abutted on the intermediate ankle joint portion and a fifth intermediate ankle bone base are made of a member having higher resilience than that of the other parts; wherein bag parts into which the thumb and little finger are fitted respectively are formed on both sides of the tip of a foot so as to further open the thumb and little finder outward owing to pushing force on the intermediate ankle joint portion and the fifth intermediate ankle bone base, and thereby regenerating the transverse arch of the wearer's sole so as to correct the balance of the sole as a whole.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foot-correcting sock that corrects hallux valgus and varus varus, regenerates a lateral arch on the sole, balances the entire sole and enables proper walking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sock in which a pressing member or a reinforcing member is formed at a metatarsal joint and a base of a fifth metatarsal to correct hallux valgus is known.

[0003]

Although the above prior art is effective in correcting hallux valgus, the thumb and the little finger do not open outward, so that the toes face upward as shown in FIG. There was a problem that it could not be formed and walking became unstable.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a portion of the foot contacting the metatarsal joint of the foot and the base of the fifth metatarsal has higher elasticity than other portions. In a sock for correcting hallux valgus, which is constituted by a member, a bag portion for fitting the thumb and the little finger is formed on both sides of the toe, and the thumb and the base of the fifth metatarsal are pressed by the force to press the metatarsal joint and the fifth metatarsal base. It is characterized in that the little finger expands more outward, the lateral arch is reproduced on the sole, and the balance of the entire sole can be adjusted.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Numeral 1 is a three-fingered sock. Bags 2 and 3 are formed at both ends of the sock.
The second finger 9, the third finger 10, and the fourth finger 11 are fitted into the middle bag portion 8 together. The intermediate bag portion does not necessarily have to be formed in a bag shape.

FIG. 2 shows the principle of the present invention. When the metatarsal joint 12 and the fifth metatarsal base 13 are pressed, the thumb 4 and the little finger 6 spread outward. Applying this principle, as shown in FIG. 1, a band 14 for pressing the metatarsal joint 12 of the sock 1 inward and a band 15 for pressing the fifth metatarsal base 13 are more resilient than other parts. It is composed of members. The bag may have an open end.

Next, the operation will be described. Since the thumb 4 and the little finger 6 are spread outward, the toe contacts the ground as shown in FIG. 4, the lateral arch 16 is formed on the sole, and three-point walking is possible.
The soles are stable.

[0008]

The present invention relates to a sock for correcting hallux valgus, in which a portion contacting the metatarsal joint of the foot and the base of the fifth metatarsal is made of a member having higher elasticity than other portions. On both sides of the toes, the thumbs and the little fingers are formed with bag portions for fitting the thumbs and the little fingers. Regenerate the arch,
Because the balance of the entire sole is adjusted, walking can be performed at three points with the entire fingertip as shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal arch can be reproduced, and shock and torsion can be absorbed, and stable walking can be performed.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a sock for correcting hallux valgus, a portion which abuts on a metatarsal joint of a foot and a basal portion of a fifth metatarsal is made of a member having higher elasticity than other portions. Are formed on both sides of the toe, and the thumb and the little finger are expanded more outward by the force pressing the metatarsal joint and the base of the fifth metatarsal to regenerate the lateral arch on the sole. , Socks to correct the balance of the feet so that the entire sole can be balanced.
