Any elastic material such as sponge can be used as the cushion 11a. As will be described later, the tongue portion 22 is provided with a pocket 25 . By providing the cushion 11a, the article stored in the pocket 25 hits the foot through the first instep portion 11, giving the wearer a feeling of foreign matter, and deterioration of the wearing feeling can be suppressed.

The second instep part 12 is arranged to cover the first instep part 11, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, it is placed over the part where the instep of the wearer is located. By arranging the second instep part 12 so as to cover the first instep part 11, between the first instep part 11 and the second instep part 12, as shown in FIG. A storage space 30 is formed as shown. In addition, the second instep part 12 only needs to cover the first instep part 11 at least at a position covering the instep of the wearer, and does not need to cover the entire first instep part 11. .

The second instep part 12 includes a wing part 21, a tongue part 22, an eyelet 23, a cord 24, a pocket 25 and a flap 26, as shown in FIGS.

Two wing portions 21 are arranged on both sides of the instep, each extending upward from the side surface of the instep toward the center in the middle foot portion, and extending along the sole in the forefoot portion. A plurality of eyelets 23 are provided at the upper ends of the wings 21 in the midfoot portion of the shoe 10, and a string 24 is passed through the eyelets 23. - 特許庁Any string can be used as the string 24 . The string 24 is preferably stretchable to facilitate loading and unloading of articles.

The tongue 22 is arranged between the vanes 21 . Further, as shown in FIG. 4 , in the midfoot portion of the shoe 10 , the tongue portion 22 is arranged between the wing portion 21 and the first instep portion 11 . In this embodiment, the tongue portion 22 is a bag tongue. Specifically, two ends 22a of the tongue portion 22 extending from the opening 18 toward the toe of the shoe 10 are fixed to the blade portion 21, respectively. Additionally, the tongue 22 comprises two folds 22b on either side of the wearer's instep, providing a bag-like structure.

By forming the tongue portion 22 into a bag shape as shown in FIG. 4, the height of the storage space 30 can be changed according to the articles to be stored. The height of the storage space 30 can be lowered by pulling the folds 22b of the tongue portion 22 toward both sides of the instep and making the tongue portion 22 along the blade portion 21 and/or the first instep portion 11. When storing an article, the storage space 30 can be widened by lifting the central portion of the tongue portion 22 and separating it from the first instep portion 11 . As described above, in the shoe 10 of the present embodiment, the tongue portion 22 has a bag-like structure, so that the height of the storage space 30 can be changed according to the height of the articles to be stored. In addition, when an article is stored in the pocket 25, it is possible to prevent the article from hitting the wearer.

The pocket 25 is provided on the surface of the tongue portion 22 facing the first instep portion 11, as shown in FIGS. Moreover, the pocket 25 is provided above the part where the wearer's instep is located, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the pocket 25 has an insertion opening 25a for inserting an article on the opening 18 side. The planar shape of the pocket 25 is formed in an arbitrary shape, such as a square.

Further, the other end of the flap 26 may be detachably fixed to the first instep part 11 or the second instep part 12 by fixing means such as hook-and-loop fastener.

Also, if the article 40 stored in the pocket 25 is a GPS transmitter, it is possible to grasp the position information of the wearer, measure the distance traveled, and check whether the wearer has entered a dangerous place or the like. In addition, when the accelerometer is stored, it is possible to detect the fall of the wearer. In addition, if the article 40 is a pedometer, it is possible to check the number of steps taken by the wearer and manage his/her health. Any one of these functions may be provided, and arbitrary functions can be combined. Also, the number of articles 40 to be stored is not limited to one, and a plurality of articles may be stored.

In the shoe 10 of this embodiment, the first instep portion 11 and the second instep portion 12 are overlapped to form a space, so that the storage space 30 is located in the instep portion, and the article 40 can be stored. Replacement can be easily performed. In addition, since the article 40 is stored in the back of the wearer, it is possible to prevent the stored article 40 from breaking due to an external force such as body weight.

In addition, since the first instep part 11 has the function of holding the instep, the second instep part 12 does not need to hold the wearer's instep. Further, since the pocket 25 is provided on the second instep portion 12 side, it is possible to prevent the article 40 stored in the pocket 25 of the second instep portion 12 from hitting the wearer's instep. Therefore, the contact with the foot is less likely to be affected by the shape of the stored article 40, and the effect of reducing the feeling that a foreign object hits the foot can be obtained. In addition, when the first instep part 11 is provided with the cushion 11a, it is possible to prevent the article 40 from impairing the wearing comfort.

Further, the tongue 22 has a bag structure, and the second instep 12 having the wings 21 located on both sides of the tongue 22 is provided, so that the appearance of the shoe 10 is brought closer to the design of shoes often seen in the market. and the aesthetic appearance of the shoe 10 is not spoiled. Further, even when the article 40 is stored, the space in which the article 40 is stored is hidden by the blade portion 21, so that it is difficult to visually recognize that the article 40 is stored below. Therefore, according to the shoe 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to realize simultaneously the function of holding the instep and the function of providing a storage space while maintaining a fashionable style.

The shoe 10 according to the embodiment exhibits particularly excellent effects when used as a shoe for a person who needs to be searched (a person who needs to be searched). A dementia patient is taken as an example of a person who needs to be sought.

In the shoe 10 of the present embodiment, the article 40 can be easily put in and taken out as described above. For this reason, when the person to be searched does not show symptoms such as wandering, the article (eg, GPS transmitter) 40 can be removed, and the article 40 can be put in after the person begins to show symptoms. Therefore, it becomes possible to insert the article 40 when necessary according to the symptoms. In addition, since the article 40 to be stored can be changed according to the symptoms, it is possible to change the necessary functions according to the symptoms.

Further, as described above, with the shoe 10 of the present embodiment, the presence or absence of the article 40 does not easily affect the wearing comfort. Since dementia patients are particularly sensitive to the feeling of wearing, there may be a problem that they do not wear shoes or take out the GPS transmitter if they feel a foreign object. However, since the shoe 10 of the present embodiment is less likely to give a feeling of foreign matter, the occurrence of such a problem can be suppressed.

Furthermore, since the appearance of the shoes 10 can be designed to be similar to known shoes without a storage space, even when the symptoms of dementia have progressed, they are easily recognized as known shoes and are refused to wear. hard. In addition, since it is easy to put in and take out items depending on the symptoms as described above, it is possible to get used to the shoes 10 while the symptoms are mild, and when it becomes necessary to use a GPS transmitter, etc. It is also possible to use 10 as a searchable shoe.
