Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable muscles in relation to walking motion, to be trained to balance well without any pain by having lengths for supporting tiptoes with tip sections and supporting foot arches with the rear end sections, and by fitting bases having thicknesses for forming spaces between heels and ground, at the rear end sections, on the front sections of soles. CONSTITUTION:A device consists of bases 2, and means 3 for fitting the bases on the front sections of soles F, and the bases 2 support tiptoes Fa with the tip sections 2a, and have lengths for supporting foot arches Fb with the rear end sections 2b, and have thicknesses T at least at the rear end sections 2b so that spaces may be generated between heels Fc and a ground surface G. When a man stand to wear footware 1 composed in this manner, on feet, then the heels Fc floats on the spaces without coming in contact with the ground surface G, and the weight of his body is supported only by sections from the tiptoes Fa of the soles F to the foot arches Fb, and the man is forced to stand continuously in a stable posture. As a result, an ideal upright posture is obtained by himself, and leg sections and a waist section, the muscle of a hip, and an abdominal muscle and a dorsal muscle are trained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to footwear such as slippers and zandals, and more specifically, the present invention relates to footwear such as slippers and zandals, and more specifically, to train the leg muscles of the human body or muscles related to the coordination of the legs. It relates to footwear for tightening the legs, buttocks, abdomen, etc.

(Prior Art) Footwear that is made of extremely heavy material and is used to train leg muscles by walking while wearing it is well known.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) When wearing the above-mentioned heavy footwear and lifting the leg, such as in conjunction with walking, the weight of the heavy footwear becomes a load on the leg, causing muscles related to the movement of lifting the leg. can be trained.

1, or 1. Therefore, Shigenobu's footwear increases the leg muscles so that when he is standing still, no weight is applied to his legs.
Therefore, the effect will not be obtained unless you continue the exercise of raising and lowering your legs for a considerable period of time. Exercising with extreme weight bearing is accompanied by fatigue and pain.

On the other hand, in today's daily life, we overwhelmingly walk wearing Western shoes such as leather shoes or high heels, but when we wear these Western shoes, the entire sole of the foot is always in close contact with the hard sole. This restricts the flexible movement of the toes when walking, making it difficult to forcefully kick the ground (floor surface) with the toes while walking.

If the toes do not move when walking, the center of gravity will shift toward the heel, making it impossible to maintain a correct walking posture.As a result, the muscles in the lower back and buttocks that are involved in kicking the toes will become weaker. In addition, it has been pointed out from a medical perspective that the abdominal and back muscles tend to be insufficiently exercised, weakening them and causing lower back pain and strained lower back.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve these problems and train the abdominal muscles of the human body or muscles related to walking motion in a well-balanced manner and without pain, the present invention has the following configuration. has been established. That is, with respect to the sole of the human foot, which includes the toe, arch, and heel, it has a length that supports the toe at the tip, supports the arch at the rear end, and has a length that supports the heel and the ground (floor). Footwear that does not support the heel and comprises a base having a thickness at least at the rear end so as to create a gap between the base and the sole of the foot, and means for attaching the base to the front part of the sole of the foot. I rolled 1.

(Function) First, when one stands with the footwear according to the present invention that does not support the heel on the foot, the base of the footwear from the tip to the rear end supports the sole of the foot from the tip of the toe to the arch of the foot. The back heel is located behind the rear end of the platform.

Then, since the rear end of the platform has a predetermined thickness, the heel will float in the air without contacting the ground (floor surface).

As a result, they try to continue standing in a stable posture while supporting their own weight only with the area from the toes to the arches of the soles of their feet, so they naturally acquire an ideal upright posture that is closer to the center of gravity or the toes. The muscles of the legs, lower back, and buttocks, as well as the abdominal muscles and back muscles, become tense and trained under the load of the body weight.

When transitioning from the upright posture to walking, the movement of kicking the ground (floor surface) forcefully with the toes is encouraged.
Exercise of the muscles of the legs, back muscles, etc. associated with the action of kicking the toes is promoted and further trained, and an ideal walking posture is acquired.

At the same time as each of the above-mentioned muscles is trained, unnecessary fat in the legs, buttocks, and abdomen is consumed and toned.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

1 to 3, the footwear that does not support the heel according to the present invention comprises a base 2 and means 3 for attaching the base to the front part of the sole F of the foot. Toe P
At least the rear end 2b has a thickness T so as to support the arch Fb at the rear end 2b, and to create a gap between the heel FC and the ground (floor surface) G. Exists.

When you stand with the footwear 1 configured in this manner on your feet, the foot 2 of the footwear 1 from the tip end 2a to the rear end 2b supports the sole F of the foot from the toe Fa to the arch Fb. The heel Pc of the back P is located behind the rear end 2b of the table 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

However, since the rear end portion 2b of the table 2 has a predetermined thickness T, the IFc does not come into contact with the ground (floor surface) G and floats in the air (see FIG. 3).

As a result, from the toe F+L of the sole P to the arch Fb
As you try to maintain a stable posture while supporting your body weight only with the upper part of your body, you will naturally develop an ideal upright posture with your center of gravity closer to your toes, and your muscles in your legs, lower back, and buttocks will also strengthen. In this case, the abdominal muscles and back muscles become tense and trained under the load of the body weight.

Note: When moving from an upright posture to walking, the toe P
Since the action of forcefully kicking the ground (floor surface) G at part a is encouraged, the movement of the muscles of the legs and back muscles related to the action of kicking the toe Pa is promoted and further trained, and is ideal. Acquire a good walking posture.

At the same time as the valley muscles are trained and toned, unnecessary fat in the legs, buttocks and abdomen is consumed and toned.

Although the thickness T of the base 2 in this embodiment is the thinnest at the tip 2a and the thickest at the rear end 2b, it is also possible to make the base 2 have a uniform thickness. It will be done.

In addition, in this embodiment, the means 3 for attaching the platform 2 to the front part of the sole F of the foot is in the form of a large band 12, so that the toe is exposed when the shoe 1 is worn on the foot. However, the attachment means 3 and 7 may be of a type that covers the toes, and furthermore, the attachment means 3 may be of the form of a thong, which is used for beach sandals, geta, etc. It is also possible to use

Finally, the sole of the footwear according to the present invention, which does not support the heel, uses the body weight of the person performing the training as the training load.
Footwear I that does not support the heel itself can be used for sufficient training, but if you want a more powerful training, use a heavy material for the platform 2 or have a built-in heavy stirrer. There is no problem even if you use the same material.

(Effects of the Invention) As detailed above in 1-2, when the footwear according to the present invention that does not support the heel is put on the foot and the heel Fe of the sole F of the foot is suspended in the air,
Stand 21. 2.As you try to continue standing by supporting your body weight only with the part from your toes Fa to the arch Fb, the muscles from your l11 to your lower back and abdomen become tense, even if you are just standing still. You can train your legs.

In addition, by strengthening the above-mentioned training, you will acquire an ideal posture in which the center of gravity is closer to the toes, encouraging walking movements that actively use the toes, and strengthening the muscles of the lower back and abdominal muscles related to this walking movement. Since the back muscles are actively exercised and strengthened, it helps prevent lower back pain and strained lower back, and it also helps to consume excess fat in the legs, buttocks, and abdomen to tone them up.

Furthermore, the footwear that does not support the heel according to the present invention can use the weight of the person performing the training as the training load, so it is possible to perform a sufficiently effective @shape even when the footwear that does not support the heel is not heavy. can.

Finally, when the footwear 1 according to the present invention that does not support the heel is worn on the foot, the rear end 2b portion of the base 2 is
It suppresses and stimulates pressure points near the arch of the foot and the arch of the foot, giving a very comfortable feeling, so it is possible to train the legs or the muscles related to the coordination of the legs without feeling fatigued or painful. It is possible.
