[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to variable size shoes.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In general, commercially available shoes are available in various shoe sizes with different bottom lengths so as to fit many people's feet.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a size-variable shoe that can be worn by a young person who is actively growing for a long period of time.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The variable size shoe according to the present invention is characterized in that a heel counter that supports the circumference of the heel is connected to the shoe body that supports the entire sole of the foot so as to be adjustable in the front-rear direction.

[0005]

[Action and effect]

 According to the present invention, since the heel counter is connected to the shoe body so as to be adjustable in the front-back direction, the shoe size can be increased according to the growth of the foot. As a result, even young children with active growth can continue to wear them for a long time. Also, since the shoe size can be reduced, it is also possible for people with different foot sizes to share the same shoe.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a variable size shoe according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shoe includes a shoe main body 10 that supports the entire sole of the foot and a heel counter 20 that supports the periphery of the heel. The main body 10 is constructed by sewing an instep 12 on a shoe sole 11. The instep 12 is formed by omitting a portion corresponding to the heel counter 20. Hooks 13 are fixed to the outer side of the rear end of the instep 12 in three rows each in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a hook-and-loop fastener 14 having a required width is fixed to a portion of the shoe sole 11 on which the heel rests. The heel counter 20 has a bottom portion 21, and inside the front end portion, a hook 22 paired with a row of hooks 13 fixed to the instep 12 is fixed. A surface fastener 23 paired with the surface fastener 14 is fixed to the back side of the bottom portion 21.

The present embodiment is configured as described above, and at the beginning of wearing, the hook 22 is fitted into the front row of hooks 13 and the surface fastener 23 is joined to the surface fastener 14 to attach the heel counter 20 to the shoe body 10. Link. As a result, the shoe size is set to the smallest. Then, when the shoe size does not fit due to the growth of the foot, the hook 22 is replaced with the second row hook 13 to increase the shoe size by one size. If necessary, the hook 22 may be replaced with the hook in the third row to further increase the shoe size. Thus, in this embodiment, since the heel counter 20 is connected to the shoe body 10 so as to be adjustable in the front and rear directions, the shoe size can be increased according to the growth of the foot. As a result, even young children with active growth can continue to wear them for a long time. In addition, people with different foot sizes can change the hooks 13 and 22 as appropriate so that they can share the same shoes, or when the shoes are cramped due to swelling in the shoes, the size of the shoes can be increased once. It is also possible to eliminate the crampedness. Further, since the pair of surface fasteners 14 and 23 are fixed to the sole 11 and the bottom of the heel counter 20, respectively, it is possible to prevent the heel counter 20 from flipping up during walking and impairing the wearing comfort.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the above-described embodiment, the heel counter 20 is detachably connected to the shoe body 10 using the hooks 13 and 22 so as to be adjustable in the front and rear directions, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. Instead, the surface fasteners 15 and 24 are fixed to the instep 12 and the heel counter 20, respectively. In this case, the hook-and-loop fastener 15 having a required front-back width is used. According to this embodiment, the shoe size can be adjusted steplessly within the front-rear width of the surface fastener 15. In addition, the operation of attaching and detaching the heel counter 20 to and from the shoe body 10 becomes easy. Since the other configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG.
