  However, those of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 can be said to have no problem for those who can prevent their feet from getting cold and can wear and take off themselves. Since the toe side is closed, there are the following problems for those who are difficult to wear themselves.

  When caregivers put on the above footwear, it is difficult to bring their feet to the specified position when the toes are closed. The foot sensation tends to be dull, and for the bedridden elderly people and the disabled, etc., it is often not known even if they wear socks, indoors etc. with their toes bent Therefore, when not wearing it in the correct state, the toes rub against each other, causing problems such as skin turning like a bed slip. From such a current situation, it is easy for a caregiver to put on, and the state of the toes when worn is known, and the wearer is anxious to wear comfortably indoors.

  Moreover, it is a troublesome task for the wearer as well as the caregiver to take off and wear it anyway. Therefore, it is ideal that you can wear it comfortably even if you wear it for as long as possible except when you wash it, not only when you are awake, but also when you lie down on a futon etc. There is a demand for a fashionable item when going out with a wheelchair as well as wearing it.

  Slippers that do not have their toes closed are well known as footwear that does not have their toes closed, but such slippers are slippery for the elderly and infants and have a thick bottom so that they are not walking, and You can't lie on a futon while wearing it. There are people who sleep with socks cooler than before, but for elderly people, socks wrap the whole foot without gaps even if it stretches, so if you wear it constantly, it tends to increase swelling of the foot It is not desirable to sleep on a bed with socks on.

  On the other hand, in recent years, “universal design” designed for all people has come to be seen in all fields, but such a thing has not been devised yet for indoor wear.
