Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide footwear that can obtain a magnetic effect as well as an acupressure effect that gives a soft and comfortable moderate stimulus to the arch of the sole. SOLUTION: One projection 3 is provided on a contact surface 2 of a sole of a sandal body 1 with an arch. A flat surface 3 </ b> A is formed on the upper surface of the protruding portion 3, and the contact surface with the arch of the sole is widened. A permanent magnet 4 is provided in the projection 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to footwear such as shoes and sandals that can stimulate the arch of the sole while wearing the shoe, and a shoe insole that can stimulate the arch of the sole when laid in the shoe.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, footwear that can stimulate the arch of the sole while wearing footwear such as shoes and sandals, and shoe insoles that can stimulate the arch of the sole by laying in the shoe have been used for the inner sole of the footwear or the foot of the insole. A plurality of small projections are provided on the contact surface with the back arch. There are also shoes and sandals in which a plurality of magnets are provided on the contact surface with the sole.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Conventionally, it has been proven from the viewpoint of Oriental medicine that stimulating various acupoints on the sole of a foot by acupressure is meaningful from the viewpoint of Oriental medicine, and it is said that improving blood flow by magnetism is also beneficial for health. I have. Therefore, there are health footwear and shoe insoles that have the above-mentioned configuration, but since the acupressure effect is due to a plurality of small projections, if this partly touches the arch of the sole, However, even if the tip is rounded, the contact between the sole and the arch of the foot is pinched, so it is strongly stimulated and it is not painful and comfortable. Also, in the case of the magnet provided, the sole itself is hurt because the magnet itself does not have elasticity, and the wearing comfort is deteriorated. The small projection and the magnet are provided separately, and there is no one that has both the acupressure and the magnetism.

[0004] In view of the above points, the present invention aims to provide footwear and insoles that provide a soft and comfortable moderate stimulus to the arch of the sole and a magnetic effect at the same time.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the footwear of the present invention is characterized in that a single protrusion is provided on a contact surface of the sole of the footwear body with the arch. Further, the upper surface of the projection is formed as a flat surface, and the contact portion with the arch of the sole is widened. Further, a permanent magnet can be provided in the projection.

[0006] The shoe insole according to the present invention is characterized in that one protrusion is provided on the contact surface of the sole of the shoe insole body with the arch. Further, the upper surface of the projection is formed as a flat surface, and the contact portion with the arch of the sole is widened. Further, a permanent magnet can be provided in the projection.

Since the footwear and the insole of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration have one projection, a relatively large projection is provided on the contact surface of the footwear and the insole with the arch of the sole. This has the same acupressure effect as acupressure with the thumb. Since the upper surface of the protrusion is formed flat and the area of contact with the arch of the foot is wide, there is no strong irritation that makes the arch feel painful. According to the same stimulus is given, it becomes comfortable.

Further, by providing a permanent magnet in the projection, magnetic stimulation is also given. Since the permanent magnet is in the projection, it does not directly hit the arch and does not hurt.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the footwear of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of the same, and FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the shoe insole of the present invention. It is to be noted that the same reference numerals throughout the drawings indicate the same or corresponding parts.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a sandal body which is the footwear of the present invention, and one projection 3 is formed integrally with the sandal body 1 on a contact surface 2 of the foot of the sandal body 1 with the arch. Has been done. The protruding portion 3 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, so that the pressing feeling against the arch is soft.

The protruding portion 3 has a short columnar shape with a circular cross section, has an upper surface formed on a flat surface 3A, and has a wider contact portion with the arch of the sole. If the upper surface is a flat surface 3A, the projection 3 is not limited to such a shape. A disk-shaped permanent magnet 4 is embedded in the projection 3. The diameter of the projection 3 is preferably about 1.5 to 3 cm.

In FIG. 3, the protrusion 3 is formed separately from the sandal body 1 and is attached to the sandal body 1 with an adhesive. Next, FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the shoe insole according to the present invention, in which 5 is the shoe insole body. Note that the specific configuration is the same as that of the description of the sandal body 1 and will not be repeated.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, since there is only one protrusion, the upper surface is formed flat, and the contact portion with the arch of the sole is wide, so strong stimulation that the arch feels painful occurs. Not only has a moderate acupressure effect, but also has a magnetic effect due to the permanent magnet in the protrusion. In addition, since the permanent magnet is located inside the projection, it does not directly hit the arch and does not hurt.
