Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are given. However, the scope of the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise stated, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view showing an infant shoe 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. An infant shoe 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a sandal type infant shoe 1 used when an infant, such as the beginning of walking, whose age is less than 12 months, for example, plays with water.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the infant shoe 1 has a shoe bottom portion 2 that is grounded when an infant or the like who is a user walks. Further, an upper portion 3 is formed on the shoe sole portion 2 so as to rise from the shoe sole portion 2 in the figure.
Moreover, the upper part 3 has the mouth part 4 which is an opening for inserting feet, such as an infant, as shown in FIG.

Further, on the toe side of the upper part 3, for example, a toe upper 31 which is a toe holding part for covering a toe part of a foot of an infant or the like is formed. On the other hand, on the heel side of the upper portion 3, for example, a heel portion 32 that is a heel holding portion for covering the heel portion of an infant or the like is formed.
In order to increase the rigidity of the flange portion 32, a reinforcing member called a counter is disposed therein.
In this way, by forming the toe upper 31 and the heel part 32, the toe side and the heel side of the foot of an infant or the like are not exposed to the outside, and therefore, these are protected.
Moreover, the height H1 in the figure of the heel portion 32 is formed to be relatively high, and is configured to reliably cover the heel side of the foot of an infant or the like.

FIG. 2 is a schematic bottom view showing the shoe sole 2 of the infant shoe 1 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the shoe sole 2 is made of, for example, rubber (rubber) or the like, and an uneven portion 21 for preventing slipping is formed on the surface thereof.
Incidentally, FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory view showing a toe bending region which is a portion where a foot of an infant or the like bends during walking.
When an infant or the like walks, the toes are bent, and the bent portion of the toes is called a toe bending region. Specifically, the toes are arranged from the first toe on the thumb side to the fifth toe on the little finger side, and the toe bending line and the vicinity thereof are located at and around the middle toe joint of each finger. The toe bending area is indicated by an arrow C. This toe bending region C is a portion where an infant or the like bends a foot when walking.
And the bending groove | channel 22 is formed in the area | region corresponding to the toe bending | flexion area | region C of FIG. 3 in the shoe sole part 2 of FIG. For this reason, when an infant or the like performs an action of bending a toe during walking, the bending groove 22 is bent, and the walking operation of the infant or the like is not hindered.
Therefore, it is possible to promote the development of walking movements for infants and the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the toe upper 31 is configured to include an upper portion of the bending groove 22. That is, the toe upper 31 includes a region above the toe bending region C of an infant or the like.
In other words, the toe flexion region C, which is the most moving part when an infant or the like walks, is likely to come into contact with an external obstacle because of the size of the movement. By covering the upper portion with the toe upper 31, the toe bending region C of an infant or the like is effectively protected.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, two upper openings 33 are formed on both side surfaces of the upper portion 3 of the infant shoe 1 for discharging water or the like that has entered the shoe.
For this reason, even if an infant wearing the infant shoes 1 plays with water, the water or the like that enters the shoes at that time is discharged from the upper opening 33 and thus does not accumulate inside, and is uncomfortable for the infants and the like. It is the composition which does not give.
Further, the upper opening 33 is formed in an intermediate region between the toe upper 31 and the collar portion 32 as shown in FIG.
For this reason, the upper opening 33 is configured not to impede the functions of the toe upper 31 and the heel part 32 that protect the toe side and the heel side of an infant or the like.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since water or the like entering the inside of the infant shoe 1 is discharged from the upper opening 33, water or the like is not easily collected inside the shoe. Since the toe side and the heel side are also protected by the toe upper 31 and the heel part 32, safety is also ensured at the same time.

Further, on the upper surface side of the upper portion 3, for example, a mesh portion 34 which is a breathable upper ventilation portion is formed. The mesh portion 34 is formed by combining two types of mesh-like ones knitted with warp to give a thickness.
For this reason, this mesh part 34 has a favorable air permeability, and it is difficult to give discomfort to an infant or the like during walking.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the recessed part 34a formed in concave shape is arrange | positioned in the part corresponding to the upper heel side of the toe bending area | region C, such as an infant, among the mesh parts 34. As shown in FIG. The recess 34a is an example of a close contact recess.
The concave portion 34a is deformed toward the inner side of the upper portion 3, and the inner side of the concave portion 34a is in close contact with the back of the foot corresponding to the heel side of the toe bending region C of an infant or the like. At this time, since the concave portion 34a avoids the toe bending region C, the bending operation of the toes of an infant or the like is not hindered.
Furthermore, since the concave portion 34a is in close contact with the instep of an infant or the like, it is possible to prevent the foot of the infant or the like from shifting to the toe side inside the infant shoe 1. In particular, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, since a space is formed in the toe portion (toe upper 31), the configuration is easy to shift, but the foot of an infant or the like is reliably held (hold) by the recess 34a. Thus, the foot of an infant or the like can be stabilized in the infant shoe 1 and can easily walk.

As shown in FIG. 1, the toe upper 31 of the shoe sole 2 is formed with, for example, a toe winding portion 23 that is a toe protector formed by extending the shoe sole 2. For example, a heel winding portion 24 that is a heel protection portion is formed on the heel portion 32 of the shoe sole portion 2.
In this way, by forming the toe hoisting part 23 and the leash hoisting part 24 made of the same material as the shoe sole part 2 on the front end side of the toe upper 31 and the rear end side of the heel part 32, respectively, The heel side will be double protected, and the infant shoe 1 will be safer.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the toe side of the shoe sole 2 is formed to warp in a direction away from the ground contact surface on which the shoe sole 2 contacts the ground, and the height of the warp rising away from the ground contact surface is formed. H2 (the length from the contact surface to the tip of the imaginary line extending vertically from the contact surface) is about 5 mm to 25 mm, preferably about 8 mm to 15 mm at the tip of the toe.
For this reason, when an infant etc. walk, it can be set as the structure which is hard to trip over obstacles, such as the ground, etc., and the infant etc. become the structure which is easy to walk. Moreover, it is the structure which can protect more reliably the toe side, such as an infant at the time of a walk, by the structure of the toe winding part 23 of the shoe sole part 2 mentioned above, and this curvature.

FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view of the toe upper 31 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, a thumb dorsiflexion space 31a is formed on the side of the toe upper 31 on which the thumb of a toe such as an infant is placed. Further, in the toe upper 31, a little finger space 31 b in which a little finger can be spread is formed on the little finger side of a toe of an infant or the like.
For this reason, when an infant or the like walks, it is configured to easily perform a dorsiflexion operation of the thumb or an operation of spreading the little finger, which is an operation performed for balancing, etc. It is 1.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

It is a schematic side view which shows the baby shoes which concern on embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic bottom view which shows the shoe sole part of the baby shoes of FIG. It is a schematic explanatory drawing which shows the toe bending | flexion area | region which is a part in which feet, such as an infant, bend in walking.
