The present invention relates to a shoe having an ankle tightening member.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a shoe generally has a sole part, a scab part covering the heel of the foot, and a fastener that adjusts the fit state of the heel part against the foot. In an athletic shoe, high fit is required to promote a motor function such as speed, and it is necessary to fix the upper part of the foot, the buttocks, and the ankle.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-12002, there is a reliable method for fastening a shoe upper even in intense exercise running, or in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-38212, it is possible to freely tighten and loosen with a shoelace and a tightening belt. Sport shoes etc. have been proposed, but all of them are fasteners for tightening or wearing the shoe upper part. In addition to the shoelaces in the eyelet part, the ankle fixing tightening Various devices have been proposed for fixing only the buttocks or ankles, such as tools and anti-sprain heel fasteners, but there has been no fastener for fixing and tightening the buttocks and ankles at the same time. Therefore, in order to fix the hip and ankle at the same time, it is necessary to use a plurality of fasteners having different tightening functions, and there are many components that are in contact with the outside when worn due to bulky or protruding parts, There are problems such as a complicated structure and an increase in weight.
[0004]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-217806 proposes a shoe fastener having a simplified structure and reduced weight. However, even if high fit is obtained by simultaneously pulling the heel and ankle with the shoelace, the positioner of the adjuster is also fixed in the fastener using the shoelace, and the height level cannot be adjusted. was there. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-304003 proposes an Achilles tendon protective cover that is not affected by the rigidity of the shoe heel portion and is fastened to the ankle, but the protective cover is tightened using a shoelace. It is tied up and wound around the Achilles tendon, but it is difficult to adjust the height of contact with the ankle.
That is, in the conventional so-called fasteners, generally, the tying form using shoelaces occupies the mainstream. For example, even if there is a cloth fastener used for holding from the buttock side, the height adjustment is possible. None have an equal binding function, and a complicated tightening mechanism using shoelaces is expensive and unsuitable as a casual shoe. Furthermore, in the case of a contact member for protecting the ankle portion with the Achilles tendon from the buttocks, the height level is substantially constant, the height can be adjusted as appropriate, and the lateral orientation can also be adjusted. There were no simple, useful fasteners for this purpose.
