Description

  The present invention relates to healthy footwear that can be promoted, maintained, etc. by walking on the foot.

  The conventional sandals are provided, for example, by attaching a band for putting a foot on a substantially flat base. The sandal base is provided with a substantially flat surface on which the foot is placed in order to improve the comfort and ease of wearing. The band is provided so as to restrain the part of the back of the foot close to the base of the toe so that the foot does not easily come off the sandal when walking. Similarly, in the case of conventional shoes, a platform on which a foot is placed is provided in order to improve comfort and ease of wear, and the foot is protected to prevent the foot from being detached while protecting the foot. It is provided so that the whole part may be wrapped.

  However, when walking with conventional sandals, the toes are on the flat surface of the toes and restrained in the vicinity of the base of the toes by a band. It was difficult to walk while walking, and in fact, there were many cases where only the base side of the foot was used without using the toes. Therefore, the use of the toes could not be expected to have a good effect on the muscles, skeleton, internal organs, etc. of the whole body. That is, the conventional sandals are designed only for comfort and the like, are not considered for health, and weaken the body. Also, in the case of conventional shoes, since the toe side is a flat surface like sandals, only the base side of the foot is often used during walking, and health is considered like conventional sandals. It was not a thing.

On the other hand, various footwear for promoting health has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a health promoting footwear in which a protrusion for stimulating the pot on the sole is provided on the entire surface of the footrest. However, the health promotion footwear of Patent Document 1 can promote health by stimulating acupuncture points. However, since innumerable protrusions protrude from the footrest surface, the weight is applied to the toes in the same way as conventional sandals. Therefore, it was difficult to improve health by moving muscles and skeleton. In addition, if you keep walking for a long time wearing the health promotion footwear of this Patent Document 1, the soles of the foot are supported in a dotted pattern, so the stimulation from the protrusions becomes painful and fatigue builds up. There was a risk of harm. Furthermore, since it is necessary to provide innumerable protrusions, the manufacturing process becomes complicated and the cost increases.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and one object thereof is to exert a strong action on the toes while wearing in daily life, and move the muscles and skeleton of the whole body to move the body. The object is to provide healthy footwear that can promote and maintain health, and has a simple structure and low cost.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a step of placing the entire toes from the base part of the toes to the upper surfaces of the bottom parts (12) and (22) on which the legs are placed while bending the toes upward. A rising portion 16 is provided, and the rising portion 16 rises vertically from the upper surfaces of the bottom portions (12) and (22) to form a step 20, and is a step formed by a horizontal plane extending perpendicularly from its upper end side. It has a top surface, and the step from the bottom top surface is set to 5 to 6 mm so as to form a sufficient gap between the base of the toe and the sole body side at the portion immediately before the step due to the step. The healthy footwear 10 is made up of. Further, the number of toes to be placed may be arbitrary, but it is preferable that at least the thumb of the toe is placed on the stepped-up portion 16 because the thumb takes the most weight when moving the weight to the toe. If the raised portion 16 is provided so as to place all five toes , the number of moving parts such as muscles and bones increases, which is more healthy. The footwear main body may be in various forms such as shoes, sandals, slippers, sandals, etc., for outdoor use or indoor use. The upper surface of the raised portion 16 may be formed separately for each finger. If the height of the footrest surface 18 of the raised portion 16 from the base side 18a of the toe is too low, it is difficult to move the weight to the toe side, and if the height of the raised portion is too high, finger becomes too warp, or difficult is performed weight shift to toe, it may be set arbitrarily according to the physique or the like of the wearer so that Ri was cramped feel. For example, in the case of a thing worn by a general adult, it is preferable to set it to about 5 to 6 mm.

  Further, the raised portion 16 has a position of the raised step 20 at each toe F1. . . It may be set in a curved shape so as to follow the base position of F5.

  The healthy footwear of the present invention is directed from the portion where the base of the toe is located toward the toe so that at least one toe is placed on the upper surface side of the bottom portion on which the foot is placed while the toe is bent upward. A stepped-up portion that is raised is provided, and it is configured to strongly tension the toes warped by the raised portion every time the weight is moved to the toe side with walking. By walking with your finger securely and moving the muscles, bones, etc. of the entire foot from the toes, the muscles, bones, internal organs, etc. of the entire body can be made to work well, promoting health and maintaining health. Can be achieved. Furthermore, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

  In addition, the raised part is configured to be curved so that the position of the raised step is along the base position of each toe, so that each of the five toes rises from an appropriate position. It is possible to realize a specific structure that is placed on the part with a simple structure, and it is difficult to feel uncomfortable on the sole when worn.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The healthy footwear of the present invention is a footwear worn in daily life, and by providing a stepped-up portion on the toe side of the bottom on which the foot is placed, up to the fingertip every time the weight moves to the toe side during walking Healthy footwear that promotes health and maintains health with certainty. 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of the healthy footwear of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the healthy footwear 10 includes a footrest 12 that is a bottom portion on which the footwear body is composed of sandals, and a band 14 that stops a foot placed on the footrest. The healthy footwear further includes a stepped portion 16 formed at a position corresponding to the position of the toe of the footrest 12. The footrest 12 is made of, for example, rubber, synthetic resin or the like having a certain degree of hardness so as not to be recessed when the foot S is placed, and is roughly omitted in plan view along the outer shape of the foot so that the entire foot S is placed. It is a vertically deformed elliptical shape and is formed from a plate-shaped table having a thickness. A footrest surface 18 on which the sole body is placed is formed on the upper surface side of the footrest 12, and a step-up portion 16 is provided at a position corresponding to the toes. When the foot is placed on the footrest surface 18, a portion 18 a where the base of the toe is located is formed in a substantially flat shape, and the footrest surface 18 gradually inclines from the rear intermediate position toward the portion 18 b where the heel is placed. Is formed. At an intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the footrest 12, a band 14 having a certain lateral width is erected in the width direction of the footrest 12 and both ends thereof are fixed. The band 14 is disposed on the back side of the foot on the base side of the toe when the entire foot is placed on the footrest 12, and restrains the vicinity of the joint on the toe side of the toe during walking. Preventing the withdrawal of the foot. In addition, what stops a leg is not restricted to a band, For example, arbitrary leg restraining means, such as a hook string, may be sufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the stepped portion 16 has the toe base of the footrest surface 18 so that only the substantially toe portion is slightly warped upward with the entire foot S placed on the footrest 12. The toe side is provided so as to rise from the positioned portion 18a. As shown in FIG. 4, the stepped-up portion 16 raises the heel so that the toe F is warped upward and the toe bottom is in contact with the surface at a position higher than the sole body side. When the body weight is moved from the main body to the toe side, a strong pressing toward the stepped portion 16 of the toe F is actively performed while forcing a stronger dorsiflexion toward the back side of the toe. The toe gives a strong tension to the toes. As a result, the muscles, skeleton, internal organs and the like of the entire body are exerted by the action from the toes, and health promotion and health maintenance can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the stepped-up portion 16 forms a stepped difference 20 that rises from a portion 18 a where the base of the toe of the footrest surface 18 is positioned, and the toes of the footrest 12. It protrudes in the shape of an integrated stepping platform so that the entire side is raised, and the five toes F1. . . It is placed in a step-up state so that all of F5 is warped upward. Thereby, along with walking, muscles, bones and the like of the entire foot including the five toes can be worked, and a better effect on the whole body can be expected. The upper surface side of the stepped-up portion 16 is formed as a flat surface, for example, formed from the same material rubber or synthetic resin as the footrest surface 18 and is not greatly recessed by pressing from the toes F. It is set to hardness. The position of the stepped step 20 from the footrest surface 18 of the stepped portion 16 is set to be curved along the base position of each toe. Thereby, while being able to implement | achieve the structure that five toes each mount on the raising part 16 from an appropriate position, it is made hard to feel discomfort to a sole when it wears. The height from the portion 18a where the base of the toe of the footrest surface 18 of the step-up portion 16 is located is, for example, about 5 to 6 mm, and the step-up portion 16 on the toe side when the heel is raised. The upper surface is suitably pressed and set so as not to feel cramped. The raised portion 16 is formed, for example, integrally by raising the required position of the footrest 12, or a plate-like shape molded into a required shape with synthetic rubber, synthetic resin or the like in advance on the toe side. Is fixed to the footrest 12 that has been provided flat by any fixing means such as adhesion. In any case, since the healthy footwear 10 has a simple configuration in which a stepped portion 16 is provided on the upper surface side of the footrest 12 on which the foot is placed and a band 14 for stopping the foot is attached, it can be easily manufactured. Cost is low. Note that the step-up portion is not limited to the form in which all five toes are placed as in the present embodiment, and may be formed by stepping up only the portion where the thumb of the foot is placed, for example, at least one What is necessary is just to put it while curving the toes of the top.

Next, the operation of the healthy footwear 10 according to this embodiment will be described. When the healthy footwear 10 is put on the foot, the toes F are arranged on the stepped-up portion 16 with the toes F warped upward from the vicinity of the base. The heel weight - sole body - with to walk while moving to the toe in order, tensioning strongly toe per weight transfer to the toe side by the stepped up portion 16. At this time, in this embodiment, since all five toes are provided on the raised portion 16, each toe can be strongly pressed to the ground side in the raised state. Due to the toe tension caused by the reaction, each part of the entire foot part, such as all toe bones, all metatarsals, other bones and muscles (not shown), is moved. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the heel is raised and the weight is moved to the toe side (see FIG. 4), the metatarsal bone U1. . . In a state where U5 moves so as to narrow the gap between each other, releases the support on the toe side, and the weight is applied to the entire sole (see FIG. 5), by pressing on the footrest surface 18 of the sole body Metatarsal U1. . . U5 moves to Ru spread mutual gap, these movements are repeated for each pair. This makes walking with the toes surely performed in daily life, for example, improving muscle strength by moving the muscles of the entire foot including the toes, diet effect, or fatigue due to improved blood circulation It can be expected to relieve and relieve recovery, coolness, etc., and it works well on the muscles, bones, internal organs, etc. of the whole body by moving the muscles, bones, etc. Can promote health and maintain health. In this embodiment, the footwear body of the healthy footwear is a sandal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various other forms such as shoes, slippers, sandals and the like may be used.

  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the footwear body of the healthy footwear 10. In FIG. 7, the footwear body is made of shoes. As shown in FIG. 7, the healthy footwear 10 is formed integrally with a footrest bottom portion 22 on which a foot is placed, an upper portion 24 that covers the side of the foot from the upper side, and an upper portion 24 while forming a mouth. And a heel covering portion 26 that covers the heel side of the foot, and a stepped portion 16 is formed on the toe side of the footrest surface 18 of the inner bottom of the footrest bottom portion 22 as in the above embodiment. Is provided. Thereby, at the time of wearing, it arrange | positions on the upper surface of the step-up part 16, curling a toe upward, and a toe | tensile_strength is strongly tensioned every time the weight shifts to a toe side with a walk.
