  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, shoes that can perform ventilation such as intake / exhaust between outside and inside of shoes are known.

In such shoes, ventilation such as intake / exhaust is performed between the outside and the inside of the shoe via an air passage or an air pocket inside the shoe.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-5901 JP-A-61-48301

    However, in the shoe provided with the ventilation device described in Patent Document 1 described above, a certain motion by the foot is required to cause the ventilation action. That is, in a state where weight is added to the shoe sole, air from the pump chamber in the shoe sole is compressed, pushed out by the exhaust valve, and sent to the toe side. Further, when the pump chamber is expanded in a state excluding the weight, external air is sucked from the intake valve. By repeating this action, ventilation is performed. Therefore, constant movement of the body weight by foot is necessary for constant air movement.

    The ski boot described in Patent Document 2 includes a pump that supplies air to the air pocket inside the shoe. However, the supply of air to the inflatable air pocket is operated by a bending operation of the shin portion. It can be. Therefore, pressing by a certain motion using the foot is necessary for a certain air movement.

In addition, shoes are conventionally known that are fixed to the foot with a lace or a surface fastener, but in this case, due to the need for labor and time such as air resistance and tying the lace or adhering with a tape, sports etc. There was a problem that it was not optimal.

    The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems in the prior art. For example, from the fact that the string does not exist and the string is not unwound, the functionality, the ease of wearing, and the string are reconnected. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe that has excellent time and labor savings, simple air intake / extraction from the inside and outside of the shoe, and has air resistance and light weight.

In order to achieve such an object, a shoe according to the present invention has a shoe body made of a stretchable material and an elastic neck portion that can be in close contact with the ankle of the foot while the foot is inserted into the shoe body. The shoe body is provided with a suction port for sucking out air in the shoe body from the outside, and the suction port is provided with a valve for preventing air from entering from the outside of the shoe body, from the suction port. The shoe main body is contracted by removing the air so as to be in close contact with the foot.
In order to achieve this object, the glove according to the present invention has a glove body made of a stretchable material and an elastic neck that can be in close contact with the wrist of the hand while the hand is inserted into the glove body. The glove body is provided with a suction port for sucking out air in the glove body from the outside, and the suction port is provided with a valve for preventing air from entering from the outside of the glove body. By removing the air from the outlet, the glove body is contracted and brought into close contact with the hand.

  The “neck” in this case is a portion that is in close contact with the ankle in a state where the foot is inserted into the shoe body, and has a certain elasticity. For example, it can be realized by using a material such as silicon rubber that allows the air in the shoe to be tightly joined to the ankle without escaping.

Further, the shoe body can be suitably realized by any material having a property that it is difficult for air to pass from the outside to the inside. For example, it can be realized by using a hydro seal laminate, a polyester lipder mixer, or an action pile window stopper.
With such a material, it can be made compatible for all seasons by maintaining high functionality such as durability, sweat absorption, and moisture permeability.

At this time, in order to generate an action of bringing the foot and the shoe into close contact with each other inside the shoe main body, a structure including an inner bag inside the shoe may be used. In such a case, the action is realized by inhaling air into the inner bag with a simple device such as a pump or a dropper and inflating the inner bag in the shoe. Moreover, in order to generate | occur | produce the effect | action which remove | eliminates adhesion | attachment of a foot | leg and shoes, the said effect | action is implement | achieved by discharging air from an inner bag with the said simple instrument.

On the other hand, when removing the shoes, the above-mentioned simple instrument is connected to a valve provided at the suction inlet of the shoes that are in close contact, so that air can easily flow into the shoes and the shoes can be easily separated from the foot. It becomes possible.

    In addition, since the structure does not include a lace by being configured as described above, the lace does not cause friction in relation to the air and does not add resistance when walking or running while wearing the shoes. It is possible to keep the air resistance high.

  In addition, since the string is formed only from the cloth, that is, a simple structure such as not having a metal fitting for passing the string, these can be realized with a structure excellent in light weight.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the shoe body is provided with a suction port for sucking out air in the shoe body, for example, by being sucked from outside, and the suction port has air suction from the outside of the shoe body. A function for preventing a string from being unwound from a feature of a form in which a valve for preventing entry is provided, and the shoe main body is contracted and closely adhered to a foot by extracting air from the suction port. It is possible to eliminate the time and labor required to reconnect the laces, ease of wearing, and tying, and furthermore, it has air resistance, and in addition, air intake / extraction from inside and outside of the shoe is excellent in simplicity. Can be used in the state.

In addition, since the valve is configured as described above at the suction port, when the air inside the shoe is sucked out when the shoe is worn, the air is not sucked out more than necessary. When taking off air from the outside of the shoe when taking off, air is not sucked more than necessary. That is, this valve prevents unintentional air intake / extraction, and can be adjusted to an appropriate level for those who take off their shoes.

Furthermore, since it is configured as described above, shoes having such a configuration are not only used in various sports fields such as running shoes for land, soccer shoes, etc., but of course normal shoes such as cloth shoes and leather shoes, The present invention can be effectively applied to other shoes used in daily life, such as rain shoes and safety shoes.
