[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the insole with acupressure protrusions in various forms is provided, and the user inserts the insole selected according to his or her preference and purpose into the shoe to use it. It has a certain effect as an insole that can be used as acupressure on the sole of the foot while walking. However, in any type of insole, the acupressure protrusion is provided only on one side which is the surface side of the insole, so that there are the following inconveniences and drawbacks.

First, since the protrusion is provided only on the surface of the insole surface, the acupressure for stimulating the sole of the foot is constant,
I can't get effective acupressure. Also, if the protrusion is too high or too hard, it is often painful and unusable. In that case, if the insole is used upside down, there is a drawback that the acupressure effect due to the protrusion is hardly obtained. In addition, since each type is a one-piece insole, it was difficult in structure to fold it in a compact manner such as two-fold or three-fold and to carry it easily.

[0005]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned inconveniences and drawbacks of the conventional insole, and the constitution thereof is such that the surface side of the insole has an acupressure protrusion of an appropriate size. A large number of them are provided, and on the back side, an insole having a back surface provided with auxiliary projections smaller than the acupressure projections on the back surface of the acupressure projections provided on the front surface side is a basic structure. In addition to the basic type, which has large arcuate projections on both sides of the arch, and the insole that folds by making a crease with a recess at the middle and two upper and lower places, By attaching an elastic band to the hem, it forms an insole with double-sided acupressure protrusions that you can use by hanging it on your foot like a slipper.
