As a result, it is possible to give a sense that it is easy to apply force to each heel during walking and running, and to easily exert tension, instantaneous power, etc., and it can be expected to further improve the exercise function of the foot. .

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the hook latching | locking part 4 is formed in the substantially ring shape, it is not restricted to the form formed in a substantially ring shape (a perfect ring shape is included), It can change suitably. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the heel locking portion 4 is formed in a circular shape or an oval shape in almost the entire region of the heel receiving portion 19 to cover the heel lower surface, the heel side surface, and the heel rear surface of the foot heel. You may do it. Even in this way, the heel locking portion 4 can be locked to the heel of the foot. Furthermore, the hook locking portion 4 may be square.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, only the 1st heel of a leg is turned inside by the 1st heel holding | maintenance part 3, the heel locking part 4, and the 1st connection piece 5, However, It is not restricted to the thing of this form For example, a force may be applied to the fifth base so that the fifth base is directed outward.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a second connecting piece 8 that connects the fifth hook covering portion 7 d and the hook locking portion 4 is provided. By configuring in this way, when put on the foot, the fifth hook covered with the fifth hook covering part 7d is pulled from the rear side by the hook engaging part 4 and the second connecting piece 8 in the outward direction (see FIG. 6 in the Y direction).

  As a result, when walking or running, the first foot of the foot can be directed to the inside. As a result, it is possible to further easily apply force to the first heel, and it is also possible to correct the varus minor.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the toe cover part 7 is comprised from four of the 2nd cover part 7a-the 5th cover part 7d, it is not restricted to the thing of this form, The toe cover part 7 May be composed of any one or two or more of the second heel cover portion 7a to the fifth heel cover portion 7d, and can be appropriately changed.

  Further, the toe covering portion 7 may not be provided at all. In the case where the toe covering portion 7 is not provided at all, even if the toe insert portion 14 of the sock 1 does not have the shape having the second toe insert portion 15 to the fifth toe insert portion 18, A shape in which a fifth bowl can be inserted simultaneously may be used.

Further, the second hook covering portion 7a to the fifth hook covering portion 7d are not limited to those provided in a part of each of the second hook inserting portion 15 to the fifth hook covering portion 18; Any one or more of the portion 7a to the fifth hook covering portion 7d may be provided in the entirety of each of the second hook portion 15 to the fifth hook portion 18, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, when two or more toe covering portions 7 are provided, they may be connected to each other, but may be formed separately and independently without being connected, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although only one slip prevention piece 6 is provided, you may provide not only the thing of this form but two or more. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a first shift preventing piece 61 having both ends connected to the front and rear centers of the first connecting piece 5 and a second shift having both ends connected to the hook locking portion 4. You may comprise from the prevention piece 62. FIG.

  By doing so, the first deviation preventing piece 61 can mainly prevent deviation of the first connecting piece 5 in the circumferential direction of the foot. On the other hand, the second displacement prevention piece 62 can prevent the displacement of the first connecting piece 5 with respect to the circumferential direction of the foot and, at the same time, can prevent the displacement of the foot locking portion 4 with respect to the foot.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the slip prevention piece 6 is made weaker than the 1st collar holding | maintenance part 3, the collar locking part 4, and the 1st connection piece 5, it is not restricted to the thing of this form. Can be changed as appropriate. For example, the slip prevention piece 6 may be formed to have the same urging force as the first hook holding part 3, the hook locking part 4, and the first connecting piece 5.

  However, if the tension force of the slip prevention piece 6 is the same as that of the first heel holding portion 3, the heel locking portion 4 and the first connecting piece 5, the first heel holding portion 3 holds the first heel holding portion 3 when worn. There is a possibility that the pulling force by the hook locking portion 4 and the first connecting piece 5 applied to the hook will be smaller than when the tension force is weak. Therefore, it is preferable that the slip prevention piece 6 is weaker than the first hook holding part 3, the hook locking part 4, and the first connecting piece 5 as in the above embodiment.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 1st heel holding | maintenance part 3, the heel latching | locking part 4, the toe cover part 7, and the 1st connection piece 5 are formed in the same magnitude | size, for example, those One or two or more may be different from the other in the magnitude of the tension.

  Further, all the portions other than the strong tension force portion 2 may be formed with the same tension force as in the above embodiment, but may be partially different. Further, the knitting structure is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the strong compression force part 2 and another part are making the whole part into the uniform knitting structure, it is not restricted to the thing of this form, It can change suitably. For example, the strong tension force portion 2 or other part is formed into a predetermined knitting using a predetermined yarn, and different yarns or different knitting methods, or different yarns and different knitting methods are mixed in the middle thereof. May be.

  More specifically, for example, the strong tension force portion 2 is made into a knitted yarn using the yarn (SCY PU70d / NY30d), and the single yarn (32/1 T / C) constituting the other portion in the middle thereof. And the above-described yarn (SCY PU20d / NY70d) may be used to provide a rib-knitted portion. Further, the range in which the different yarns or different knitting methods are mixed may be a range in which the tight force of the strong tight force portion 2 is stronger than the other portions.

  Furthermore, the strong tension force portion 2 is formed to be stronger than the other portion by changing either or both of the yarn used and the knitting method with respect to the other portion. Can be changed as appropriate.

  Alternatively, for example, a sock body having a substantially uniform tension force is formed by the same yarn and knitting method. And you may make it affix the sheet-like thing or fabric comprised from the synthetic resin etc. with stronger tension than the sock main body by sticking means, such as printing, adhesion | attachment, and sewing. Furthermore, a liquid synthetic resin may be printed on a part of the sock body to form a part having a strong tension force on the part.

  Further, the value of the urging force between the first heel holding part 3, the heel locking part 4 and the first connecting piece 5 is not particularly limited, and when the sock 1 is worn, Any tension force may be used as long as the first hook can be maintained in an inward state by the pulling force between the stopper 4 and the first connecting piece 5.

  In the above embodiment, the socks are configured to cover the ankles of the feet. However, the socks are not limited to this configuration, and may be, for example, covers that cover the knees of the feet, tights, stockings, pantyhose, etc. Can be changed as appropriate.
