[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to shoes that can be easily worn by elderly people, physically handicapped persons, and the like.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In recent years, with the progress of aging society and the development of welfare, the number of elderly and physically handicapped persons going out to society and working on a daily basis is increasing, and with this, the opportunities to go out are increasing. So-called athletic shoes are suitable for the shoes used by the elderly and the physically handicapped because they fit perfectly to the feet when worn and are easy to move. It was very difficult to tie a string or the like by inserting a foot into the narrow mouth. Also, tying shoelaces each time was a complicated task for caregivers. In view of the above, there has been proposed and put into practical use a method in which a detachable portion is formed by communicating with a mouth portion of an upper portion of a shoe body, and the detachable portion is opened and closed by a surface fastener such as a velvet fastener to fit an ankle.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 57-123007 discloses a band in which a band hung on the upper of a shoe is folded back through a metal fitting provided on the side opposite to the mounting side and then can be adjusted and fixed. A shoe is disclosed in which a cloth fastener is attached to the back surface of the folded portion and the upper surface of the attaching portion, and an auxiliary band for finger hooking is attached to the surface of the folded end. Similarly, in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3010374, an upper belt is provided so as to extend from one side of the upper part of the shoe to the other side, and the upper belt is connected to the base side and the distal side. A female fastener is provided on the inner surface on the base end side, a male fastener is provided on the inner surface on the distal end side, and a finger hook is provided on the instep belt cylinder.

[0004] However, in these conventional shoe bodies, an upper belt is provided, and a hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the upper belt. One surface fastener is provided on the entire surface and the other surface fastener is provided on the whole surface on the base end side, so the fastening area by the surface fastener is large, and a large force is required to peel it off. There was a problem that it was difficult for the elderly and the physically handicapped to peel off. Further, in these conventional techniques, finger hooks are formed for peeling off the upper belt, but these finger hooks have only enough room for one finger to fit, so that the hand is inconvenient. It was difficult for elderly and physically handicapped people to insert their fingers. Furthermore, in these conventional shoes, it was necessary to bend down or sit down to attach and detach the hook-and-loop fastener, which was also difficult.

[0005] In a shoe in which the detachable portion of the upper part of the shoe body is opened and closed by a hook-and-loop fastener such as a velvet fastener to fit the foot, the hook-and-loop fastener is firmly engaged and the force required for the peeling is small. Providing reduced shoes is desirable because the elderly and the physically handicapped can easily put on their shoes and reduce the burden of going out.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide shoes that can be easily worn by elderly people, physically handicapped persons, and the like.
