FIG. 2 is a partial front view of the correction footwear of the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a top view of the correction footwear of the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the correction footwear of the first embodiment.

  1 to 4, the corrective footwear 1 according to the first embodiment includes a base portion 10 that forms the main body of the corrective footwear 1 on which the foot 8 is placed, and an armored portion 12 that covers the upper portion of the foot 8. And a fingerboard 14 provided on the inner side of the backed part 12. The base 10 is made of synthetic resin, wood, or the like used for ordinary sandals, and is made of, for example, hard foamed urethane. As shown in FIG. 4, the base portion 10 of the first embodiment is a mountain in a side view, the toe side of the placement surface on which the foot 8 is placed is the front foot placement surface 10 a, and the heel side is the rear foot placement. It is the mounting surface 10b. More specifically, the front sole placement surface 10a is in contact with the backs of the inner and outer tarsal balls on the back of the foot 8 and is lowered toward the toe. In addition, the rear foot mounting surface 10b is in contact with the heel from the arch on the back of the foot 8, and is lowered toward the heel direction. The front foot placement surface 10a is lowered by 5 degrees to 20 degrees in the toe direction. Further, the angle formed between the front foot placement surface 10a and the rear foot placement surface 10b is 120 to 180 degrees, and the corner portion 10c is formed.

  A plate-shaped interdigital finger 14 stands at a position between the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b on the front foot placement surface 10a. Similar to the base portion 10, the finger plate 14 is made of synthetic resin, wood, or the like used for normal sandals or the like, for example, hard foamed urethane or the like. The finger plate 14 only needs to have a thickness and a hardness sufficient to separate the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b, and the thickness is 5 mm to 10 mm.

  When the corrective footwear 1 having such a structure is worn, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the back of the foot 8 is placed on the front foot placement surface 10 a while the toes of the foot 8 are submerged in the backed part 12. . At this time, the finger plate 14 is placed between the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b. Normally, when the corrective footwear 1 is put on, as shown in FIG. 4, the foot 8 is placed only on the front sole mounting surface 10a so that the heel is raised.

  As described above, according to the corrected footwear 1 of the first embodiment, the heel is raised and a corresponding load is applied to the foot 8, and the effect of contracting the muscles of the foot can be expected. In addition, since the toe is lowered and a load is applied to the fingertip, the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b do not stick to each other, and the finger itself can be moved freely, so that the hallux valgus can be prevented or improved. In addition, since the finger plate 14 stimulates between the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b, blood circulation of the foot 8 can be promoted.

  Further, since the corner portion 10c is formed by the front foot placement surface 10a and the rear foot placement surface 10b, the foot sole can be massaged by the corner portion 10c.

The base portion 20 is made of synthetic resin, wood, or the like used for ordinary sandals, and is made of, for example, hard foamed urethane. Unlike the base part 10 of Example 1, the base part 20 of Example 2 touches the back of the finger from the inner and outer tarsal balls on the back of the foot 8 and descends toward the toe. It has only the front foot placement surface 20a. The front foot placement surface 20a is lowered by 5 degrees to 20 degrees in the toe direction.

  A plate-like finger plate 24 stands up at a position between the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b on the front foot placement surface 20a. The finger plate 24 is made of a synthetic resin, wood, or the like used for ordinary sandals, for example, like the base portion 20, and is made of, for example, hard foamed urethane. The finger plate 24 only needs to have a thickness and hardness sufficient to separate the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b, and the thickness is 5 mm to 10 mm.

  When wearing the corrected footwear 2 having such a structure, the back of the foot 8 is placed on the front foot placement surface 20a while the toe of the foot 8 is submerged in the back 22. At this time, the finger plate 24 is placed between the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b. Thus, as with the correction footwear 1 of Example 1, the toe is lowered and a load is applied to the fingertip, but the thumb 8a and the index finger 8b do not stick and the finger itself can be moved freely. It is possible to prevent or improve hallux valgus. In particular, the orthopedic footwear 2 does not have the heel side rear foot placement surface 10b unlike the orthopedic footwear 1 of the first embodiment, so it is necessary to keep the heel continuously raised. The effect of muscle tension can be expected even more.
