DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a sole protecting member of a golf shoe, and more particularly, to an outer peripheral edge of a front end of a shoe sole from a front end of the shoe sole due to weight shift during a golf swing. And a sole protection member in a golf shoe for protecting an outer edge portion opposite to an arch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plurality of spikes are arranged and attached to the bottom of a sole of a golf shoe other than a spikeless shoe. And the array, for example,
At the time of the impact of the swing, a symmetrical spike arrangement is generally used, because the backswing (in the case of right-handed) creates a wall inside the right foot, the impact creates a wall outside the left foot, and it corresponds to the weight shift during the swing. It is a target. The arrangement of the spikes is the same for both flat soles and heel soles.

In this symmetric arrangement, there are differences in the weight shift during the swing, the load applied to the shoes at that time, the usage of the left and right feet, and the way of impact, and therefore, the left and right structures of the shoes are different. It is conceivable to have another function such as changing the position or changing the arrangement,
However, pursuing the functionality of the shoes only to help the swing, although appropriate for the swing, causes problems in walking.

[0004] In other words, golf is a sport in which the user walks longer than when swinging. Therefore, shoes require a balance between the sense of swing stability and the ease of walking. Considering these points, each manufacturer has a similar spike arrangement at present.

[0005] In consideration of the above points, for example, in the case of a right-handed player, in particular, a portion from the relatively hard ground of the driving range to the toe of the right foot of the golf shoe and the inside from the tip portion is rubbed against the floor surface. As a result, the tip of the toe of the shoe sole is worn due to friction with the ground, and in order to prevent this defect, for example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-108850 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-13854.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-260, there has been proposed a golf shoe in which a sole protecting member called a protector made of a metal or a hard synthetic resin is attached to a periphery of a tip end of a toe of a shoe sole. Also, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 6-56511, a maximum protruding portion is provided to the side of the outer edge of the shoe sole (the portion opposite to the arch) behind the toe bending line generated at the time of swing, and the maximum protruding portion is provided. Is provided with a reinforcing member to protect the outer edge of the shoe sole due to friction with the floor surface (ground) generated during a swing. The protective member at the outer edge (usually referred to as a side edge protector) is used in a golf swing, as the golf shoe shifts from follow-through to finish after impact, the sole of the golf shoe on the left foot, which is the axle foot, contacts the ground. Rolling with weight shift to the left to prevent the outer edges of the shoe sole from being pressed against the ground in the finished state, and to prevent abrasion of the outermost edge of the shoe sole, especially the side that protrudes the most. It is.

In addition, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-159704,
As disclosed in Jitsuho 2-453, the internal pressure and inclination applied to the uppers of the left and right shoes during a golf swing,
In consideration of the state of contact with the ground, the former inventor who was able to effectively deal with them and prevent damage due to shape loss and abrasion, and furthermore, the external heel counter attached to golf shoes, when golf swing, In particular, the outer side of the heel, which is the part where the golfer's load is applied to the maximum at impact, can be intensively supported by a fixed plate, and the golfer's axle feet are efficiently supported by an external heel counter to support lateral deflection in the outward direction Inventors of the latter are provided.

[0007]

However, the toe in the sole of the conventional golf shoe as described above,
The sole protection member for protecting the peripheral edge of the tip and the outer edge opposite to the arch side of the sole is used in a course or a driving range, and is used for a series of weight shifting operations such as an impact in a golf swing and a follow-through. It has been pointed out that the contact point of the sole protection member with the ground is severely scratched and frayed, and that the contact surface is formed of a hard rubber or synthetic resin mat, especially in a practice field.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention employs the following technical means to overcome and improve the above-mentioned deficiencies.

That is, the present invention provides a golf shoe
