Description

The present invention relates to shoelace-type athletic shoes, and more specifically, it is possible to adjust the degree of tightening of the toe portion located near the upper part of the base of the finger when the user wears it, thereby making the foot circumference tight. Regarding athletic shoes that can be fitted with.

In shoes and athletic shoes (also called sneakers), shoelaces and hook-and-loop fasteners are generally attached to the instep, and the insteps are tightened with these shoelaces and hook-and-loop fasteners to fit the shoes to the feet. .. If the shoe does not fit the foot exactly, it causes various troubles such as rubbing the shoe, damaging the toenail, and causing serious damage such as hallux valgus. In particular, in the case of slippers and athletic shoes worn by growing children and students, it is extremely important to select shoes that match the feet. According to a survey, 57% of junior high school students and 74% of high school students are experiencing some kind of shoe-related foot problem.
Conventionally, as a shoe that fits the foot, a bag body is provided at the opening of the bump along the tongue piece (tan), and a foam resin material is injected into this bag body to cover the inside of the tongue piece and the upper surface of the instep. There is known an athletic shoe (see, for example, Patent Document 1) in which the space is filled with a bag.

Further, one or a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners are provided so as to be paired on the left and right sides of the upper portion so that the portion of the tongue piece can be tightened from the left and right, and one end of the surface fastener on the fixed side is extended so as to exceed the tongue piece. Therefore, shoes with an instep band that enable adjustment around the instep are also known (see, for example, Patent Document 2 and the like).

However, while the shape of the foot varies from person to person, shoes are standardized step by step according to the length of the foot, so it may be difficult to select a shoe that fits the foot simply by adjusting the tightening of the instep. is there. In particular, for children and students, the distribution of the relationship between foot circumference and foot length varies widely, so even if shoes are selected according to the foot length, the foot circumference does not fit and the fingers move easily in the shoes. It may become a state. It is not preferable to wear shoes in such a state because the above-mentioned foot disorders are likely to occur. However, with conventional athletic shoes, adjustment is performed only on the upper part, so it is difficult to fit the shoe perfectly to the foot including the foot circumference part.

On the other hand, in the case of Cited Documents 1 and 2, there is a problem that the adjustment is troublesome and the price of shoes tends to be high.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to make it possible to adjust not only the instep part but also the circumference of the base of the finger, that is, the foot circumference, so that even the foot of the age group in which the foot circumference is likely to differ The purpose is to provide athletic shoes that can be fitted securely.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1 is an exercise in which a plurality of shoe holes (or pigeon eyes) for passing shoelaces are formed from the toe side of the left and right instep pieces toward the foot insertion part side. By adding a shoelace grip function to at least a part of the shoe hole on the toe side of the shoe, adjustment to fit the toe part to the user's foot circumference and left and right insteps when putting on and taking off Provided is an athletic shoe characterized in that adjustment for expanding / contracting a gap in one part can be performed with a single shoelace.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the athletic shoe according to claim 1, the shoe hole with a shoelace grip function is formed of a rubber member.

In order to achieve the above object, in the athletic shoe according to claim 2, the shoe hole with the shoelace grip function is formed with circular holes and slits connected to each other. The shoelace grip function is exhibited when the shoelace is passed through the slit, and the shoelace grip function is not exhibited or the shoelace grip force is weakened when the shoelace is passed through the circular hole. It is characterized by.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 4 is the athletic shoe according to claim 1, wherein at least a part of the shoe holes on the toe side are two circular holes arranged in the width direction. The shoelace grip function is exhibited when the shoelace is passed through the two circular holes, and the shoelace grip function is not exhibited or the shoelace grip force is weakened when the shoelace is passed through one of the circular holes. It is characterized by having done it.

According to the athletic shoe according to the present invention, by adding a shoelace grip function to at least a part of the shoe hole on the toe side, the toe part can be adjusted to fit the user's foot circumference and taken off. A single shoelace can be used to make adjustments to expand or contract the gap between the left and right insteps when wearing. Therefore, there is an effect that the foot can be reliably fitted to the foot of a user such as a child, a student, or a student who is in an age group in which the foot circumference tends to differ. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to provide shoes that are easy to exercise and easy to wear without causing damage to the foot by the shoes.

It is a top view of one Embodiment of the athletic shoe which concerns on this invention. It is a perspective view of the athletic shoe of FIG. It is an enlarged view around the shoe hole with a shoelace grip function in the athletic shoe shown in FIG. It is a figure explaining the modification of the shoe hole with a shoelace grip function.

[Structure of athletic shoes]
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the athletic shoe according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the athletic shoe of FIG. The illustrated athletic shoe 100 generally has a structure in which the upper (UPPER) 1 is adhered to the sole 2 with an adhesive or the like. The shape of the shoes is symmetrical between the left foot and the right foot, and there is no big difference other than that. Therefore, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the left foot is shown and the right foot is omitted.

The sole 2 is made so that the toes can be easily bent by carefully examining the material and thickness used. For example, a rubber outsole (outsole) is provided on the outsole. It has a multi-layered structure (not shown) consisting of the filler (inside), the insole (insole) on the uppermost surface, etc., and effectively absorbs the impact at the time of touchdown.

On the other hand, the upper 1 has a foot insertion portion 11 opened for putting on and taking off, a toe (TOE) 10 covering the toe portion, a tongue 12 formed integrally with the toe 10, and a foot. The left and right insteps 111A and 111B are formed so as to cover the instep and the upper part is incised to the left and right, the heel (HEEL) 13 that covers the heel of the foot, and the left and right insteps 111A and 111B. It is configured to include a shoelace 14 to be hung.

Here, a plurality of shoe holes (or eyelets) 16A, 16A, ... For passing the shoelace 14 from the toe 10 side to the foot insertion portion 11 side are formed in the left instep portion 111A. Similarly, the right instep portion 111B is also provided with a plurality of shoe holes (or eyelets) 16B, 16B, ... For passing the shoelace 14 from the toe 10 side toward the foot insertion portion 11. The shoelaces 14 are alternately passed through the left and right shoe holes 16A and 16B, and both ends of the shoelaces 14 are tied on the side of the foot insertion portion 11.

The toe 10 is formed integrally with the tongue 12, and the tip of the toe 10 is formed to have a length extending to the vicinity of the tip (toe) of the athletic shoe 100. The portion of the toe 10 is formed wide in order to secure the adjustment amount, and flexibility is imparted. This makes it possible to adjust the foot circumference (fitting described later).

The upper 1 can be formed by appropriately combining a flexible and flexible material such as canvas, corduroy, denim or mesh material, or a relatively firm material such as genuine leather or synthetic leather. For example, it is formed by sewing a flexible and flexible mesh material to synthetic leather cut out into a skeleton shape which is a skeleton shape. The upper 1 may be provided with a required number of air holes (none of which are shown) for ventilation and heat dissipation.

(Shoe hole configuration)
In the present embodiment, at least a part of the shoe holes 16A and 16B on the toe 10 side are provided with a function of sandwiching the shoelace 14 (shoelace grip function). Here, it is assumed that the shoelace grip function is added to the left and right shoe holes 16A and 16B located second from the toe 10 side. This position corresponds to the vicinity of the upper part of the base of the finger when worn by the user. As a result, the adjustment for fitting the toe 10 portion of the athletic shoe 100 to the portion of the user's foot circumference and the adjustment for expanding / contracting the gap between the left and right instep pieces 111A and 111B when putting on and taking off are performed. You will be able to do it with a single shoelace (details will be described later). The shoe hole with the shoelace grip function is not limited to the second shoe hole counting from the toe 10 side, but it is worn by the user in order to enable fitting of the user's foot circumference. Sometimes it is desirable to be located near the top of the base of the finger.

Hereinafter, the structure of the left shoe hole 16A with the shoelace grip function will be described. Since the structure of the right shoehole 16B with the shoelace grip function is symmetrical with the structure of the left shoelace 16A with the shoelace grip function, the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the periphery of the shoe hole 16A with the shoelace grip function. As shown in FIG. 3, the shoe hole 16A with the shoelace grip function is formed of a teardrop-type elastic rubber member in front view, and the circular holes 17 and the slits 18 connected to each other are directed from the left side to the right side. Are formed in order.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user passes the shoelace 14 toward the slit 18, the shoelace 14 is sandwiched by the slit 18, so that the shoehole 16A exerts the shoelace grip function. On the other hand, when the shoelace 14 is passed through the circular hole 17 (not shown), the shoelace 14 is not sandwiched by the slit 18, so that the shoelace 16A does not exhibit the shoelace grip function (the grip force is weakened).

In the present embodiment, when the shoelace 14 is passed through the circular hole 17, the grip force does not have to be completely zero, and the shoelace 14 is gripped to such an extent that it can easily slide in the circular hole 17. It suffices if the power is low. The grip force when the shoelace 14 is passed through the circular hole 17 is, for example, the same grip force as other shoeholes that do not have the shoelace grip function (pulling the shoelace 14 with a constant force pulls the shoelace 14 smoothly. To the extent that it can be done).

[First way to wear]
(A1) First, the user passes the shoelace 14 to the side of the circular holes 17 of the shoelaces 16A and 16B having the shoelace grip function, so that the shoelace grip function is not exhibited.
(A2) In this state, the user loosens the shoelace 14 as a whole and puts his / her foot into the athletic shoe 100 from the foot insertion portion 11.
(A3) Next, the user raises his toes and gently pokes his heel against the floor multiple times to align the heel with the heel 13.
(A4) Next, the user tightens the shoelace 14 while exerting the shoelace grip function by passing the shoelace 14 to the side of the slit 18 (FIG. 3) of the shoeholes 16A and 16B with the shoelace grip function. Therefore, the toe 10 portion is fitted to the portion of the foot circumference with an appropriate tightening condition. In addition, this procedure (A4) may be requested to the fitter or the expert of the store of the athletic shoe 100.
(A5) After that, the shoelaces 14 are tightened in order toward the foot insertion portion 11, and when the user realizes that the instep portion of his / her foot is evenly tightened with an appropriate strength, the shoelaces 14 Tie both ends of.
(A6) Next, the user walks and confirms that the foot does not shift back and forth and left and right in the athletic shoes 100. If the foot shifts while walking, return to the procedure (A4) or the procedure (A5).

[How to take off]
(B1) The user unravels both ends of the shoelace 14 and loosens the shoelace 14 in order from the foot insertion portion 11 side to the toe 10 side. At this time, the shoelace 16A and 16B portions with the shoelace grip function may maintain the shoelace 14 passing through the slit 18 side without loosening the shoelace 14. In this case, the size of the foot circumference of the toe 10 portion is maintained at an appropriate level.
(B2) Next, the user puts his / her foot out from the foot insertion part 11.

[How to wear after the second time]
(C1) First, the user puts his / her foot into the athletic shoe 100 from the foot insertion portion 11.
(C2) Next, the user raises his toes and gently pokes his heel against the floor multiple times to align the heel with the heel 13. If the shoelace 14 is maintained on the side of the slits 18 of the shoelaces 16A and 16B with the shoelace grip function, the toe 10 portion fits the user's foot circumference. It can be reproduced immediately.
(C3) If the toe 10 portion does not fit the user's foot circumference portion, the above procedure (A4) is performed again.
(C4) Next, the user tightens the shoelace 14 in order from the side of the shoelaces 16A and 16B with the shoelace grip function toward the foot insertion portion 11. After that, when the user realizes that the instep portion is evenly tightened with an appropriate strength, both ends of the shoelace 14 are tied.
(C5) Next, the user walks and confirms that the foot does not shift back and forth and left and right in the athletic shoe 100. If the foot shifts while walking, return to the procedure (C3) or the procedure (C4).

[Effect of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by adding the shoelace grip function to at least a part of the shoe holes 16A and 16B on the toe 10 side, the toe 10 portion is the portion of the user's foot circumference. One shoelace 14 can be used to make adjustments to fit the shoelace and to expand / contract the gap between the left and right instep pieces 111A and 111B when putting on and taking off. Therefore, there is an effect that the foot can be reliably fitted to the foot of a user such as a child, a student, or a student who is in an age group in which the foot circumference is likely to differ. As a result, it is possible to provide shoes that are easy to exercise and easy to wear without damaging the foot by the shoes.

[First modification]
In the above-described embodiment, each of the shoe holes 16A and 16B with the shoelace grip function is made of a rubber member, but as shown in FIG. 4, for example, it is made of two circular holes 19 and 19 arranged in the width direction. You may. Each of these circular holes 19 and 19 has the same grip force as a shoe hole that does not have a shoelace grip function, but by passing the shoelace 14 through both circular holes 19 and 19, a high grip force is obtained. Demonstrate. When the shoelace 14 is passed through only one of the two circular holes 19 and 19, the shoelace grip force is weakened to the same extent as the grip force of the other shoeholes. According to such a modification, unlike the above-described embodiment, the grip force of the shoelaces 16A and 16B with the shoelace grip function cannot be switched unless the entire shoelace 14 is re-threaded, but the rubber member. The manufacturing cost of the athletic shoe 100 can be suppressed as much as the above-described embodiment.

[Second variant]
