Description

  The present invention relates to footwear for dogs to be worn on a dog's foot.

  Conventionally, as footwear to be put on a dog's foot, Patent Literature 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-32615), Patent Literature 2 (Registered Utility Model Publication No. 3128268), and Patent Literature 3 (Patent No. 3083374). Etc. Patent document 1 is footwear obtained by immersion molding using a liquid elastic material for immersion molding such as natural rubber latex, and integrally covers the toe portion corresponding to a person's foot and the middle of the arch portion. It has a shape. Patent document 2 is footwear for dogs created by a custom-made method, and the main body is divided into a front portion and a rear portion, and both portions are open in the front-rear direction. When the dog footwear is to be attached to the dog, the front portion of the main body and the rear portion of the main body are opened in the front-rear direction, and the dog's feet are inserted between the front and rear portions. Patent Document 3 is a footwear that wraps up to the toe part corresponding to a person's foot and the middle part of the arch (the position of the thumb (wolffinger)) and fastens it with a hook-and-loop fastener. It has a shape that the nail of the part protrudes.

Here, the structure of the dog's foot will be described in comparison with the structure of the human foot. FIG. 10A is a partially enlarged view showing the state of the foot around the ground contact portion when the dog stands on four legs. When the dog's leg is standing normally, the weight of the dog is supported only by fingers and the base of the finger (generally, four fingers are grounded on both the front and back). Normally, when a person's foot is standing normally, the toe portion (finger or finger base) Tn is in contact with the ground, and the heel portion Kn is also in contact with the ground (FIG. 10B). That is, the person supports the weight on the two surfaces of the toe portion Tn and the heel portion Kn with the arch portion Un interposed therebetween. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10A, the dog supports its weight by supporting only one surface of the toe portion (finger or finger base) T corresponding to the human foot, and corresponds to the human foot. However, the arch arch portion U and heel portion K walk without contacting the ground. This is exactly the same as a situation where a person is walking on toes (FIG. 10C). Or if it applies to a person's hand and it demonstrates, it will correspond with the state which does not attach a palm exactly but supports the weight by folding a hand at the base of a finger (Drawing 10 (d)). Therefore, it can be said that the footwear for dogs according to Patent Documents 1 to 3 covers the dog's feet from the toe portion T to the middle of the arch portion U (see FIG. 14). Further, a joint between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is defined as a joint A, and a surface of the toe portion T that contacts the ground is defined as a ground contact surface Tb (see FIG. 11). Here, since the point from the toe portion T of the dog to the arch portion U appears to be at the position of the human heel, it is referred to as “the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot” It is distinguished from the corresponding heel part K (hereinafter referred to as “actual heel part K”). Further, regarding the front surface Ta and the rear surface Tb of the toe portion T which is the tip side of the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot, the surface Ta seems to be at the position of the back of the human foot. This is referred to as “the part Ta of the instep of the dog” (FIG. 10A). Further, since the arch portion U looks as if it includes a human ankle, the arch portion U is also referred to as an “ankle”. In some cases, a dog's forefoot is compared with a person's hand and a dog's hind leg is compared with a person's foot. I will explain.
JP-A-11-32615 Registered Utility Model Publication No. 3128268 Japanese Patent No. 3084374

  In general, footwear for going out of dogs (especially shoes) is to prevent dirt and dust from adhering to the feet, to prevent water from getting in the puddle, etc. It has the role of preventing burns due to walking on concrete and walking, and preventing the legs from being damaged in places with grassy spots or broken glass, etc. As a precondition, it is necessary not to impede the movement (walking, running, jumping, lying down). Here, an important condition for the dog to move naturally is that the joint A between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is not restrained and is open. For example, during walking, the dog does not ground only the toe portion T to the ground, and does not ground the arch portion U and the actual heel portion K to the ground (FIG. 11A). This is the same even when the dog is running (FIG. 11 (b)). However, the distance between the arch portion U and the actual heel portion K that do not come in contact with the ground differs from the ground during walking and running. That is, while walking, the distance between the arch portion U and the actual heel portion K from the ground is not so close (FIG. 11 (a)), but when this is running, in order to obtain a repulsive force from the ground Since it is necessary to step deeply into the ground, the distance between the arch portion U and the actual heel portion K from the ground is shorter than during walking (FIG. 11 (b)). Furthermore, when the dog is lying down, the dog's feet are grounded not only on the toe portion T but also on the arch portion U and the actual heel portion K (FIG. 11 (c)). As described above, in order for the dog to continuously perform various movements such as walking, running, and lying down, it is important that the dynamic movement of the joint A between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is not hindered. .

  However, the footwear according to Patent Document 2 has a shape that covers from the toe portion T of the dog to the middle of the arch portion U, in other words, a heel member 100 (a main body rear portion 2) around the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot. The shape is covered (FIG. 14). In this case, for example, when the dog tries to make a prone movement from walking, the heel member 100 (main body rear portion 2) works like a stick and the arch portion U is restricted from approaching the ground. Furthermore, the footwear according to Patent Document 2 has a structure in which the joint A between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is fixed at a predetermined angle. For this reason, the joint A between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is constrained, and the joint A cannot be bent so as to bend, and as a result, it is difficult to perform the sagging. For the same reason, it is difficult to continuously perform movements such as running from walking, jumping from running, and lying down from jumping. On the other hand, the footwear according to Patent Document 1 has a shape that integrally covers from the toe portion T of the dog's foot to the middle of the arch portion U using an elastic material, but compared with the footwear according to Patent Literature 2. Because of the elasticity, the binding force to the joint A is still small. However, the place where the footwear is worn is always subjected to compression from the footwear, and the movement of the joint A may be limited accordingly. Furthermore, it is considered that it is painful for a dog to feel only a feeling of pressure when the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot is covered with the above footwear when walking.

  Further, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when wearing this, it is necessary to widen the opening of the footwear for the dog while covering the foot while fixing the dog's foot, but during that time the dog's forefoot and hind paw do not move In addition, the footwear for dogs must be worn while this is fixed. In Patent Document 3, it is the work of wrapping the dog's feet instead of widening the opening, but wearing the footwear for dogs while keeping them fixed so that the dog's front and rear legs do not move There must be. However, these tasks are not easy with both hands. In Patent Document 3, since the fingertip is exposed, water enters inside, and it is considered that the shoe is not hygienic.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a footwear for dogs that can be easily put on and does not hinder the movement of the dog.

The footwear for dogs according to claim 1 of the present invention is footwear for dogs to be put on a dog's foot, and a bottom portion disposed on a ground contact surface that is in contact with the ground when the dog's foot is walking, and the bottom portion are integrated with each other. manner provided, comprising a cover covering only the toe portion of the dog leg with the bottom, and an extension portion extending from the bottom, connected to the extension portion, and a winding member wound around the ankle of a dog, Since the cover 2 covers only the toe portion of the dog, the opening 2a is located closer to the toe side than the line L passing through the joint A of the dog foot between the toe portion and the arch portion of the dog foot. In this way, the winding member is arranged above the foot joint A so as to restrain the movement of the dog's foot joint A between the toe portion and the arch portion. Make sure there are no parts to do,
When the winding member is wound around the ankle of the dog, the extension portion is mounted so as to bend along the heel portion of the dog's foot.
According to the present invention, since only the toe portion of the dog's foot is covered by the bottom portion disposed only on the ground contact surface of the dog's foot and the cover provided integrally therewith, the heel portion of the dog's foot is covered. When wearing footwear for dogs, for example, it is only necessary to put on the toe part while holding the foot of the dog with one hand, so it is possible to easily attach the footwear for the dog to the dog. It becomes. On the other hand, there is no member that restrains the movement of the joint between the toe part and the arch part, the joint between the toe part of the dog and the arch part is not restrained, and the arch part of the dog approaches the ground. Since there is no such thing (conventional heel member), various continuous movements such as running from walking, jumping from running, jumping from lying down, etc. can be smoothly performed. In addition, according to the present invention, when the extension portion is provided to extend from the bottom portion and the winding member connected to the extension portion, and the winding member is connected to the dog's foot, the extension portion is Although it is mounted so as to bend along the heel portion of the dog's foot, the joint between the toe portion and the arch portion is not restrained, so that the movement of running and jumping can be performed smoothly. Further, since the extension portion is curved along the heel portion of the dog's foot, it is possible to prevent the extension portion from being dragged.

The footwear for dogs according to claim 2 of the present invention is footwear for dogs to be put on a dog's foot, and a bottom portion disposed on a ground contact surface in contact with the ground when the dog's foot is walking, and the bottom portion are integrated with each other. manner provided, comprising a cover covering only the toe portion of the dog leg with the bottom, and an extension portion extending from the bottom, connected to the cover, and a winding member wound around the ankle of a dog, the Since the cover 2 covers only the toe portion of the dog, the opening 2a is located closer to the toe side than the line L passing through the joint A of the dog foot between the toe portion and the arch portion of the dog foot. And the wrapping member is disposed above the foot joint A to restrain the movement of the dog's foot joint A between the toe portion and the arch portion. the state does not have members, the heel portion of the foot of the dog the extension part Along in close contact over the ankle while curved, and wherein in a state of being in close contact with extension to fix winding the winding turning member to the ankle.
According to the present invention, the winding member is connected to the cover, the extended portion is extended to the bottom, the extended portion is closely attached to the ankle while being curved along the heel portion of the dog's foot, and the extended portion is closely attached. In order to wrap and fix the wrapping member around the ankle, the dog footwear of the invention is fixed to the dog's foot from both the side of the back of the dog's foot and the side of the heel of the dog's foot, Even more difficult to remove from the dog's feet.

According to the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of elastic protrusions are formed on the inner surface of the cover to come into contact with the instep portion of the dog's foot.

  According to the present invention, since the elastic protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the cover, the instep portion of the dog's foot comes into contact with the elastic protrusion, and the dog's foot is hardly detached from the cover and the bottom.

The present invention is characterized in that the winding member is provided with a detachable hook-and-loop fastener. In addition, the winding member is formed in a T shape connected to the bottom or the cover, and one of the winding portions wound around the dog's ankle is made longer than the other, so that the thickness of the ankle of the dog is increased. It is preferable to cut the length accordingly.

  According to the present invention, when the wound portion of the winding member is wound around the ankle and the wound portion is fixed by the hook-and-loop fastener, the feeling of wearing (comfort) on the dog's foot of the present invention is improved. It becomes difficult to come off. In addition, the length of one part of the wound part that is wound around the dog's ankle is made longer than the other, and the length is cut according to the thickness of the dog's ankle. It is not necessary to prepare, and the length of the winding portion of the winding member can be prevented from obstructing the dog's movement or the like.

  Here, a slit for assisting the bending of the extended portion may be formed in the rear portion and the extended portion of the bottom portion. Thus, when the slit is formed in the rear part and the extension part of the bottom part, the flexibility increases and it becomes easier to bend.

In the present invention, the cover is preferably made of rubber or a synthetic resin having elasticity .

  According to the present invention, since the cover is made of rubber or made of a synthetic resin having elasticity, it is easy to put it on, and even the dog's intense exercise can be handled by the elasticity.

  According to the present invention, dog footwear to be put on a foot when the dog goes out, the bottom portion disposed only on the ground contact surface in contact with the ground when walking, and integrally with the bottom portion Covering only the toe part of the dog with the provided cover as the main component, but there is no member that restricts or restrains the movement of the joint between the toe part and the arch part, so it is easy to install and after installation Even if the arch part or heel part in human beings is bent so that it touches the ground, such as the posture of “downside” or “sitting” or jumping, etc. Thus, the movement of these dogs is not disturbed, and the dog concentrates the consciousness on the toe portion, so that the dog's health is also improved. Moreover, by using the cover integrally provided with the bottom as a main component, it is possible to manufacture footwear that fits each kind and size of the dog without increasing the number thereof.

  Hereinafter, footwear for dogs to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
1st Embodiment of this invention is the footwear 1 for dogs with which a dog's front leg and hind leg are mounted | worn, Comprising: It is mainly used when a dog goes out. FIG. 1 is a view showing footwear 1 for dogs according to the present embodiment, FIG. 1A is a side view of the footwear 1, and FIG. 1B is a plan view of the footwear 1. FIG. 1 (c) is an exploded view of the footwear 1. FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state where the footwear 1 is actually attached to a dog's foot. The footwear 1 for dogs of this Embodiment is provided with the bottom part 3 distribute | arranged only to the earthing | grounding surface Tb which a dog's leg | foot contact | connects the ground at the time of walking, and the cover 2 provided integrally with this bottom part 3. FIG.

  Here, the previous definition is explained again for each part of the dog's paw. As explained above, the dog walks with the human being on the toes (FIG. 11 (a)). In the above, compared to the structure of the human foot, the portion corresponding to the human toe and the base of finger Tn is defined as the toe portion T, and the portion corresponding to the arch portion Un of the human foot is defined as the arch portion U. The portion corresponding to the heel portion Kn of the human foot is defined as the actual heel portion K (see FIGS. 10A, 10B, and 10C). The joint between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is defined as a joint A, and the surface of the toe portion T that contacts the ground is defined as a ground contact surface Tb. Furthermore, since the surface of the toe part T hits the position of the instep of the human, the part of the instep of the dog's foot is set to Ta, and the part along the arch part U from the toe part T is to hit the position of the human heel. Therefore, the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot was designated. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the ground contact surface Tb of the toe portion T of the dog. The ground contact surface Tb of the toe portion T is a surface on which the dog's foot is actually in contact with the ground, and mainly includes four front finger balls Y1 and a sole ball Y2 located behind the finger balls Y1. This refers to the combination of each surface (FIG. 12). Here, a line passing through the joint A from the rear end P of the sole sphere Y2 is defined as a boundary line L between the toe portion T and the arch portion U, and the toe portion T and the arch portion U are defined by the boundary line L. A distinction will be made (FIG. 2A). Further, a portion slightly above the boundary line L is assumed to be an ankle of the dog even in the arch portion U.

  The bottom portion 3 is a member corresponding to a shoe sole in human footwear. This bottom portion 3 has a predetermined thickness in consideration of wear due to contact with asphalt, fear of stepping on a piece of glass, and the like when the dog walks outdoors. The material is made of neoprene (chloroprene rubber), EVA resin (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin), etc. in consideration of cushioning properties and resistance to wear. Here, for example, when the bottom portion 3 has a sandwich structure having three layers of a neoprene layer, an EVA resin layer, and a neoprene layer in order from the lower layer, and embossing is applied to the bottom surface of the lowermost neoprene layer as a non-slip, The footwear 1 for dogs having an excellent cushioning property and having a bottom 3 that is difficult to slip can be obtained. In addition, it is arbitrary to form the bottom part 3 with a material other than the above. For example, when the bottom part 3 and the cover 2 are integrated, the bottom part 3 may be formed with the same material as the cover 2 described below. Good.

  The bottom 3 is formed in an approximately elliptical shape so that the dog's feet are in contact with the ground during walking, that is, only the contact surface Tb of the toe portion T (FIG. 12). Specifically, the longitudinal length D1 of the substantially elliptical shape of the bottom 3 is substantially the same as or slightly the length d1 from the tip of the finger ball Y1 of the toe portion T to the rear end of the sole sphere Y2. It is formed to be larger. Further, the width D2 of the bottom 3 in the horizontal direction is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the width d2 from the inner finger ball Y1 to the outer finger ball Y1. In this way, the bottom 3 is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the length in the vertical direction of the ground contact surface Tb of the toe portion T of the dog's foot.

  The cover 2 is a member that actually covers the toe portion T of the dog. This cover 2 is made of natural rubber, silicone rubber, considering the fact that it has elasticity so as not to impede the mobility of the dog, and is excellent in waterproofness (water repellency) assuming outdoor use. It is formed from a rubber material or a synthetic resin material having elasticity such as neoprene (chloroprene rubber), foamed urethane rubber, EVA resin (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin). Note that the bottom 3 may also be formed of the same material as the cover 2.

  The cover 2 is integrally attached to the upper surface of the substantially oval bottom 3 and is formed integrally with the hood portion 12 and the hood portion 12 covering the upper portion Ta of the toe portion T of the dog. The flat surface portion 13 is in direct contact with the ground contact surface Tb (FIGS. 1B and 1C). The hood portion 12 and the flat portion 13 are an integrated object and have a bag shape (or a shape on the tip side of the slipper) having an opening 2a. The opening 2 a is formed so as to cut out a part of the dome-shaped hood portion 12. Here, when viewed from above, the opening 2a is formed as an arc having both ends on the periphery of the planar portion 13 (FIG. 1B). Both ends of the opening 2a are end points G1 and G1, and the uppermost point of the opening 2a is a vertex G2. At this time, the opening 2a is preferably formed such that the vertex G2 is closer to the toe side than the end points G1 and G1. If it does in this way, opening 2a will face a little diagonally upward, and when putting footwear 1 for dogs on a dog's foot, it will become easy to insert a dog's foot (Drawing 2 (a)). The opening 2a is preferably formed such that the end points G1, G1, and G2 are located closer to the toe side than the line L passing through the joint A (FIG. 2A). In this way, even if the arch part U and the toe part T move around the joint A as a dog moves (walking / running / jumping, etc.), the dog footwear 1 is not affected by this effect. There is nothing to do. Note that the front end side of the cover 2 is not opened and has a shape such that water does not enter from the front end side. A hole may be provided, or a part of the tip may be formed of a mesh material.

  According to the footwear 1 for dog of the present embodiment, only the toe portion T of the dog's foot is provided by the bottom 3 disposed only on the ground contact surface Tb of the dog's foot and the cover 2 provided integrally therewith. To cover, it is not necessary to cover the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot. When wearing the footwear for dogs, for example, it is only necessary to hold the dog's foot with one hand and only the toe portion T. It becomes possible to make the dog wear the footwear 1 for the dog. In addition, after mounting, the joint A between the toe portion T of the dog and the arch portion U is not restrained, and the dog arch portion U is obstructed from approaching the ground (refer to the conventional heel member 100 FIG. 14). Therefore, it is possible to smoothly perform various continuous movements such as running from walking, jumping from running, jumping from lying down, and so on.

  Here, even if the inner surface of the hood portion 12 of the cover 2 is formed with a plurality of elastic protrusions 5 that protrude toward the surface of the toe portion T of the dog's foot, that is, the portion Ta of the instep of the dog's foot. Good (Figure 4). As a result, when the dog footwear 1 is put on the dog, the elastic projection 5 comes into contact with the instep portion Ta of the dog's foot while being pressed, and the restoring force acts on the toe portion T to restore the original Because it tries to return to the position, it becomes difficult to come off.

  In the above description, the bottom 3 is formed separately from the cover 2 and the cover 2 (the flat portion 13 thereof) is attached to the cover 2 with an adhesive or the like. Only the portion 12 may be provided and directly attached to the bottom portion 3 (FIG. 3A), or the hood portion 12 and the bottom portion 3 may be integrated (FIG. 3B).

  In addition, when the dog footwear 1 is attached to the dog's foot, an adhesive may be applied to the surface that directly contacts the ground contact surface Tb of the dog's foot. In terms of the above, when the cover 2 has the flat portion 13 (FIGS. 1B and 1C), the adhesive material is applied to the upper surface of the flat portion 13, and the flat portion 13 is formed on the cover 2. If not (FIGS. 3A and 3B), an adhesive is applied to the upper surface of the bottom 3. By doing in this way, it is also possible to obtain contact force with the sole of the dog's foot.

  Further, a slit (groove) for preventing slipping may be formed on the back surface of the bottom portion 3. Or you may form the bottom part 3 so that the bottom part 3 may be warped as it goes to the front-end | tip according to the shape of the toe part T. FIG. Or you may form the bottom part 3 so that the thickness may become thin as it goes to the rear end. In this way, it becomes easy to take a posture such as “turn down”.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a view showing footwear 1 for dogs according to the second embodiment, FIG. 5 (a) is a view of the footwear 1 from the side, and FIG. 5 (b) is the footwear. It is the figure which looked at 1 from the upper part. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the footwear 1 is actually attached to a dog's foot.

  The footwear 1 for dogs of the present embodiment has the bottom 3 and the cover 2 integrally formed, has a shape almost like the tip side of a slipper or a sandal, and a winding member 4 connected to the cover 2. Is provided. Since the bottom 3 and the cover 2 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the winding member 4 connected to the cover 2 will be described here. The winding member 4 has a T-shape and includes a connecting portion 4a connected to the rear end of the flat portion 13 of the cover 2 and a winding portion 4b attached to the tip of the connecting portion 4a. Surface fasteners F and F are provided at both ends of the turning portion 4b. The winding member 4 is used by cutting at least one of the winding portions 4b longer than the other and cutting the length according to the thickness of the ankle of the dog. In addition, although it demonstrated that the said winding member 4 was connected with the rear end of the plane part 13 of the cover 2 here, it is arbitrary where it connects. For example, you may connect not with the cover 2 but with the rear end of the bottom part 3 directly. Moreover, you may connect with the top part 12 instead of the plane part 13 of the cover 2 (FIG. 7). In this case, when attaching the dog footwear 1 to the dog, the toe portion T of the dog's foot is easily inserted into the opening 2a.

  When the dog footwear 1 of the present embodiment is attached to the dog's foot, only the toe portion T of the dog's foot is inserted into the opening 2a, and the winding portion 4b of the winding member 4 is inserted into the dog's arch. If it winds around the part U (ankle) and the both ends of this winding part 4b are fixed with the hook-and-loop fasteners F and F, mounting | wearing to the foot of the footwear 1 for dogs will be completed.

(Third embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 8, the footwear 21 for a dog according to the present embodiment is a footwear for a dog that is put on a foot when the dog goes out, and is disposed on a grounding surface that is in contact with the ground when the dog's foot is walking. A bottom portion 3, a cover 2 which is provided integrally with the bottom portion 3 and covers only the toe portion T of the dog's foot together with the bottom portion 3, an extension portion 3B extending from the bottom portion 3, and the extension portion 3B And a winding member 4 that is wound around the ankle of the dog, and when the winding member 4 is connected to the dog's foot, the extension portion 4 is curved along the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot. To be fitted. Further, the rear portion of the bottom portion 3 and the extended portion 3B are formed with slits Sb in the lateral direction on the back surface thereof to assist the bending of the extended portion 3B.

Here, as footwear 21 for dogs, a large-sized dog, a medium-sized dog, a small-sized dog and a dog of each size are prepared in a plurality of sizes so as to fit the size of the ground contact surface Tb of the toe portion T. You will be asked to choose the size that best fits your dog (see Figure 12), but not all dog dimensions can be accommodated. There may not be. That is, the length D1 of the bottom portion 3 is longer than the length d1 of the ground contact surface Tb of the toe portion T of the dog's foot, and when the dog footwear 21 is worn, the bottom portion 3 extends from the ground contact surface Tb of the dog foot. This is a case where the bulge protrudes backward. Even in such a case, when the dog footwear 21 is put on the foot, the extension portion 3B receives the pulling force from the connecting portion 4a connected to the extension portion 3B, and the extension portion 3B is applied to the heel portion Ka of the dog foot. It fits snugly and can prevent the extension portion 3B from being dragged (FIG. 8). Further, since the joint A between the toe portion T and the arch portion U is not restrained after the mounting, the movement of running or jumping can be performed smoothly. Here, if the slit Sb is formed in the rear part of the bottom part 3 and the extension part 3B, the flexibility increases, and the extension part 3B is further curved and easily fitted to the heel part Ka of the foot.
(Fourth embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 9, the cited footwear 31 of the present embodiment is a dog footwear 31 to be put on a dog's foot, and is a bottom portion disposed on a ground contact surface Tb in contact with the ground when the dog's foot is walking. 3, a cover 2 that is provided integrally with the bottom portion 3 and covers only the toe portion T of the dog's foot together with the bottom portion 3, an extended portion 3 </ b> B extending from the bottom portion 3, and the cover 2. And a winding member 4 wound around the arch portion U (ankle) of the dog, and the extension portion 3B is brought into close contact with the arch portion U (ankle) while being curved along the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot. The winding member 4 is wound around the arch portion U (ankle) and fixed in a state where 3B is in close contact. Further, the rear portion of the bottom portion 3 and the extended portion 3B are formed with slits Sb in the lateral direction on the back surface thereof to assist the bending of the extended portion 3B.

  According to the footwear 31 for dogs, the winding member 4 is connected to the cover 2, the extended portion 3 </ b> B is extended to the bottom portion 3, and the extended portion 3 </ b> B is bent along the heel portion Ka of the dog's foot. The winding portion 4b is directly extended to fix the winding portion 4b of the winding member 4 around the arch portion U (ankle) with the extension portion 3B being in close contact with the portion U (ankle). The footwear 31 for the dog is fixed to the dog's foot from both sides of the dog's instep portion Tb side and the heel portion Ka side of the dog's foot. It becomes more difficult to take off from the legs.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to shoes, but the present invention can also be applied to shoes, sandals, and the like.

  In the above description, the footwear for dogs according to the present embodiment has been described as being composed of the cover 2 and the bottom 3. However, the footwear 41 has a shape in which the bottom 3 is not provided and an insole 6 is laid instead. It is good. That is, the cover 22 may be shaped so as to contain the insole 6 having a predetermined thickness inside, and the insole 6 may be laid here to form the footwear 41 for dogs (FIG. 13). With this configuration, for example, when the dog has a wound or burn on the ground contact surface Tb of the foot, if the insole 6 soaked with a medicine suitable for the symptom is set in the cover 22, It can be applied not only as a footwear that prevents the wound from coming into contact with the outside but also as a treatment tool for wounds and burns. Here, the material of the insole 6 is arbitrary. However, when the insole 6 is infiltrated with a medicine or the like as described above, for example, the insole 6 may be formed of a sponge or the like, and the coating material may be formed on the upper surface thereof. In the case of overlapping, for example, the insole 6 may be formed of rubber or the like. In FIG. 13, the winding member 4 is not provided, but it is optional to provide the winding member 4 on the cover 22.
