Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to footwear, and particularly to footwear useful for promoting health.

[Conventional technology]

Geta have long been provided as footwear that is useful for promoting health. The geta is formed so that so-called teeth of an appropriate height are integrally formed on the bottom surface of the heel portion and the bottom surface of the base of the toe of the flat body with which the sole of the foot comes into contact.

Therefore, when using the device, that is, when walking, the toe portion of the main body is higher than the ground surface, so the user walks by kicking the toe of the foot backward, and this kicking action, that is, the so-called This causes the toes to curl, which in turn activates the movement of the feet and the lower back, which is said to be useful for improving health.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the opportunities to use geta, which have been traditionally available for a long time, have not only become less common as people's clothing has become more Western-style in recent years, but there is also a social trend that considers it strange to use geta as Western-style footwear. The reality is that opportunities to use geta are decreasing, and it is no longer possible to improve health by using geta.

In addition, in recent years, not only geta itself is an expensive type of footwear, but if the so-called teeth decrease due to long-term use, the entire geta needs to be replaced, making it an increasingly expensive footwear. There is also the disadvantage that it cannot be used easily.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has a shape that looks like a commonly used shoe, does not give a sense of discomfort to the viewer, and can reduce the economic burden of regular use. Moreover, the purpose is to provide new footwear that is useful for improving health when used.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the structure of the footwear according to the present invention is such that a geta tooth-like projection of an appropriate height is attached to the bottom surface of the heel and the bottom surface of the base of the toe of the shoe-like body. .

[Effect]

When the footwear according to the present invention is used, the walking motion is similar to that when using geta, and the toes of the feet are kicked backwards, which is what is called a toe bend.

Further, by attaching the geta tooth-like projections in a detachable manner, even if the projections become worn, it is possible to easily replace only the projections.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in the drawings, the footwear according to the present invention includes a shoe-like main body 1 and geta tooth-like projections 2 and 3.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is assumed that a toe wear stopper 4 is also provided.

The shoe-shaped main body 1 includes a heel portion 11 and a toe base portion 12 to which the geta teeth 2 and 3 can be attached.
In this example, it is assumed that the shoe is a so-called shoe that has been widely used as general footwear in recent years, and is formed to have the form and function. Of course, the present invention is not limited to so-called shoes, and may be used as other footwear such as boots, sandals, or jikatabi.

The geta tooth-like projections 2 and 3 are formed to have appropriate heights, and are attached to the bottom surface of the heel portion 11 and the bottom surface of the toe portion 12 of the shoe-like body 1. In this embodiment, the geta tooth-like protrusions 2 and 3 are connected to the heel portion 11 and It is said that they are detachably attached to the bases of the toes 12, respectively.

Therefore, when the clog tooth-like protrusions 2 and 3 become worn out by using the footwear of the present invention, each of the protrusions 2 and 3 can be replaced with new ones by unscrewing the screws 22 and 32. becomes.

Note that the attachment means for attaching the geta teeth 2 and 3 to the bottom surface of the heel portion 11 and the bottom surface of the base of the toe portion 12 are fixed using an adhesive instead of the above-described removable method using the screws 22 and 32. Alternatively, the heel portion 11 and the base of the toe portion 12 may be integrally formed in succession during molding of the shoe body 1.

As for the material of the geta teeth 2 and 3, it is preferable to use a rubber material, which is said to be relatively elastic, excluding completely hard materials such as iron and stone. It may also be made of wood. In addition, the above-mentioned geta denticles 2 and 3
The height of the protrusion 2 on the heel portion 11 side is preferably about 3 cm, although it is essentially arbitrary.
The protrusion 3 on the side of the base of the foot 12 is approximately 2.5 cm.
From the standpoint of wear and walking, it is best that the Further, the depth length (the length in the left-right direction in the figure) of each of the protrusions 2 and 3 may be the same as in the illustrated embodiment, or the heel portion 11 side has a larger dimension. You can do it like this. And furthermore,
The length in the width direction of each protrusion 2, 3 may be the same as the length in the width direction of the heel part 11 and the base of the toe part 12, or may be smaller than each part 11, 12. .

The toe wear stopper 4 is attached to the bottom surface of the toe portion 13 of the shoe-like body 1, and when walking using the footwear of the present invention, force is applied to the toe of the foot and the toe kicks backward. This is intended to be able to cope with significant wear and tear caused by such wear and tear, and is not essential to the construction of the proposed footwear.

The footwear of the present invention formed as described above can be used as if one were wearing shoes, and when actually walking, a walking motion using so-called geta can be obtained.

Further, when the geta tooth-like protrusions 2 and 3 are worn out, if only the protrusions 2 and 3 are replaced with new ones, it becomes possible to use the shoe regularly semi-permanently.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the appearance does not make the viewer feel strange, and compared to the case of using traditional geta, it does not look strange even when wearing Western clothes. In addition, by simply replacing the geta denticle with a new one, it can be used semi-permanently, and there is less economical inconvenience such as having to replace the entire geta. It induces the so-called toe bending, in which the toes of the feet are kicked backwards, which activates the movements of the feet and the lower back, which has various effects such as being useful for improving health. It is.
