BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Footwear according to an embodiment of the present invention
Things ( called " Abekobe shoes ") are soles (sole)
Has a shape that is higher at the toe part and becomes lower toward the rear, further, the sole is provided between the toe part and the arch area, and the sole is not formed at the lower part of the heel. The structure is such that "walking with heels" can be easily realized, and in addition to the stretching effect of Achilles tendon and calf and the effect of promoting beauty, it is possible to promote blood circulation by a strong stimulus to the heel and increase the effect of promoting health.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a slippery shoe (present shoe) according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the present shoe is composed of a covering portion 1, a sole 2, and a fixing portion 3, and is mainly used as indoor shoes.

Each component will be specifically described. The covering portion 1 is formed so as to cover the side surface of the foot, the rear surface, and the lower part of the heel when worn, and for example, a cloth,
It is formed of leather, non-woven fabric, plastic, or a combination thereof, but when a material having appropriate elasticity is used, it has a good fit when worn and comfortable to wear.

However, since the heel portion of the covering portion 1 also plays a role of fixing the foot so that the foot does not slip off from the sole 2 which is inclined upwards, it is desirable to use a material that does not extend too much. Further, it is desirable that the heel portion has a certain depth so that the foot does not easily come off. Furthermore, the covering part 1
The heel part, in particular, also has the function of protecting the skin of the foot.

In addition, the tip of the covering portion 1 may be provided with an opening so that the toe is exposed when worn, or may have no side portion and only the toe portion and the heel portion.

The sole 2 is a wedge-shaped shoe sole made of urethane, rubber, cork, plastic or the like, and the covering portion 1 is adhered to the edge of the upper surface so that the higher one is in the toe direction. ing. In other words, wearing this shoe naturally puts the toe up and allows the Achilles tendon and the calf to be stretched.

As a characteristic of the present shoe, as shown in FIG. 1, the sole 2 is formed to have a length from the toe of the foot to the area around the arch, and the sole 2 is not provided on the heel portion. . That is, in the present shoe, the portion of the covering portion 1 that covers the heel is formed so as to directly contact the floor surface without the sole 2 when worn.

The fixing portion 3 is composed of a rubber belt, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like, and fixes the foot to the shoe when worn. Further, the fixing portion 3 may be integrally formed with the toe side member of the covering portion 1, or instead of the member on the toe side of the covering portion 1, a wide fixing portion 3 is provided and the fixing portion 3 is directly attached. You may adhere to the upper edge part of the sole 2.

As a result, when the shoes are worn, the toes of the foot are raised due to the inclined sole 2, and since the sole 2 does not exist at the heel portion, the heel comes into contact with the floor through the cloth of the covering portion 1. He wears socks, raises his toes, and walks to the heels.

In a posture of walking with the shoes on, the weight is applied to the heels, the heels can be strongly stimulated from the floor, and blood circulation can be promoted to further promote health. .

When a person walks in a heel while not wearing this shoe, the muscles on the instep side cannot be raised and the toes cannot be raised for a long time. The walking posture is easy, and the muscles that normally do not stretch can be stretched sufficiently.

Next, an example of the shape of the sole 2 of the shoe will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional explanatory diagram when the sole 2 is viewed from the side surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the sole 2 has a wedge shape with a raised toe side, and has a substantially triangular cross section. The upper surface of the sole 2 is formed with a curve (irregularities) so as to fit the sole of the foot. Further, in consideration of easiness of walking, the tip portion C of the bottom surface of the sole 2 is formed in a shape that is inside the perpendicular line drawn from the tip portion A of the upper surface.

The sole 2 which is the characteristic of the shoe
The rear end B is formed at an angle such that the foot placed on the upper surface of the sole 2 comes into contact with the floor naturally, so that there is little discomfort when worn. Specifically, the angle of ∠B at the rear end of the sole 2 is preferably 25 degrees or more in order to prevent the back pain and knee pain by extending the Achilles tendon, calf, back muscles, and lower back.

Further, when the upper surface portion is curved according to the shape of the sole, ∠B is about 30 ° to 50 °, preferably about 40 ° to 45 °. 30 degrees to 5
When it is in the range of 0 degree, both the wearing comfort and the stretching effect when worn can be satisfied.

The length BC of the bottom surface of the sole 2 may be formed according to the size and preference of the wearer's foot, but the length BC does not allow the heel of the user to rest on the sole 2. When formed, the effect of walking on the heel is obtained.

Similarly, the height AC of the sole 2 may be set according to the size and preference of the wearer's foot, but is formed so that the rear end ∠B falls within the above-mentioned angle range. It is desirable to do.

When wearing the shoes,
As shown in FIG. 3, the toes can be kept in a walking posture with the toes raised, and the muscles such as the Achilles tendon, the back of the knees, the calf, the thigh muscles, and the back muscles, which cannot normally be sufficiently stretched, can be sufficiently stretched, It can stimulate the heels and promote health.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing a wearing state of the shoe. As shown in FIG. 3, the heel portion of the covering portion 1 has a structure in which the sole 2 is not formed and is in direct contact with the floor surface. Therefore, when the present shoe is worn, the heel portion comes into contact with the floor surface only by the thickness of the covering portion 1, and the heel is very strongly stimulated. In FIG. 3, only the shoe portion is shown as a cross section.

When wearing these shoes, it is desirable to wear them for a short period of time at first and gradually increase them as you become more accustomed to your posture. The effect can be obtained by wearing it once a day.

When this shoe is worn, the time during which the shoe is worn becomes the abdominal muscle exercise continuation time as it is, the abdominal muscles receive strength, the muscles from the calf to the thigh and the back muscles can be straightened, and the posture is corrected. It is possible to correct the O-leg.

When this shoe is worn, the muscles from the calf to the thighs are initially painful, but the muscles gradually stretch and the pain disappears. And a few days after the start of wearing,
Tiredness may remain in one of the limbs on the left or right, or in the waist,
This is a manifestation of an improvement reaction by correcting what was not normal until now to a normal state.

In particular, recently, with the spread of personal computers, the number of people using desk-type or notebook-type personal computers is increasing, and the number of people with bad posture is increasing. This shoe is effective in correcting such a person's posture. It is also effective when used for rehabilitation.

According to the abokobe shoes according to the embodiment of the present invention, the sole 2 is formed such that the toe part is inclined upward so that the toe part is higher than the rear end part, and the length of the sole 2 is high. Since it is formed to a length that does not fit, you can naturally take a walking posture by wearing this shoe, and extend your Achilles tendon, calf, back muscles and hips to prevent back pain and knee pain, as well as posture and There is an effect that the O-legs can be corrected to promote beauty, and that weight can be applied to the heel and strong stimulation can be applied from the floor to promote blood circulation throughout the body and promote health.
