Abstract

PURPOSE:To leave the design of shoes conventional as it is and realize the mitigation of the pain of hallux valgus. CONSTITUTION:As for the tip portion side surfaces of the main body 1 insertion opening 11 of a shoe, a place that is opposite to the joint portion of the big toe of a foot is constituted as an absorbing place 12, and the characteristic of the elastic material of this absorbing place 12 is made to be extendable/ contractable in an up and down direction (an arrow (a) direction) and difficult to extend/contract longitudinally (an arrow (b) direction).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to women's general or dance shoes, especially for the treatment of hallux valgus pain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Women's general-purpose or dance shoes have a high heel portion, and the shape of the bottom surface (sole surface) of the shoe makes the legs look slender. The shoe is designed with a curve that expands approximately evenly on both sides of the tie line, which results in a narrow shoe sole and a sharp narrow tip of the shoe. For this reason, the sole of the foot is inclined by the heel, and the toes of the toes with shoes are concentrated and pressed strongly toward the inner tip of the shoe. It is pressed toward the side, which causes many women to feel the deformity of the outside of the first joint bone of the big toe protruding outward, that is, the pain of hallux valgus and the high heel dance. Some dancers, who have no choice but to wear shoes, can't stand the pain of hallux valgus and abandon their path as dancers.

Therefore, in order to relieve the pain of hallux valgus, a shoe having a wide sole surface in which the apex of the shoe tip is shifted from the center toward the thumb tip has been proposed.

[0004]

However, since the conventional shoes described above are wide in width, they not only deviate from women's tastes in terms of design, but also the openings of the shoes which put the feet in contact with the instep of the foot. , That is, the tip edge of the opening edge for inserting the foot is large, so when you raise the heel, the toes of the toes are
As with the ordinary shoes mentioned above, it is inevitably concentrated and strongly pressed toward the inner tip of the shoe, and the pain of hallux valgus is not alleviated, and if the opening of the shoe is large, there is no hold feeling to tighten the foot. , It's easy to take off, and when you use it as a dance shoe, the step is not smooth.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe which can solve the problems in design and can alleviate the pain of hallux valgus.

[0006]

A feature of the present invention is that a portion of the base of the big toe or an outer portion of the tip of the little finger which comes into contact with at least one of the bases is constituted by an elastic material as an absorbing portion. The part can be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction, but it is difficult to expand and contract in the front and rear direction.

[0007]

Therefore, even if the hallux valgus is deformed outward in a curved shape and protrudes, it is absorbed by the deformation of the absorption point 12.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the above, the main body 1 of the shoe is made of a cloth made of natural leather or synthetic resin, and has a heel portion 2. The design of the sole portion of the shoe main body 1 is curved on both sides around the line connecting the center of the lower surface of the heel portion 2 and the tip 1a of the main body, as in the conventional design. no problem. Then, on the side surface of the tip portion of the insertion opening 11 of the main body 1 of the shoe, a portion corresponding to the base portion of the big toe is configured as an absorption portion 12, and this absorption portion is
An elastic material, for example, a blend of polyester and polyurethane, is used as a material, and the characteristic of this elastic material is that it can expand and contract in the vertical direction (direction of arrow a), but in the front-back direction (direction of arrow b)
It is difficult to expand and contract, and a material having this characteristic is cut into a predetermined shape and sewn together as a part of the main body.

Therefore, even if the bone of the first joint of the big toe becomes a hallux valgus and is deformed outward in a curved shape and protrudes, it is absorbed by the deformation of the absorption point 12 and the pain of the hallux valgus can be alleviated. . At the same time, since the absorption point 12 does not expand or contract in the direction of the arrow b or has difficulty in expanding or contracting, there is a hold feeling of tightening the instep, so the comfort is the same as before and there is no hindrance to the step as a dance shoe. Absent.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. According to the present invention, the outer skin of the tip portion of the little finger of the toe may be gradually hardened due to friction and gradually raised. In this example, a shoe that can deal with the case is provided, and in this example, the part that abuts on the outside of the little finger is configured as the absorption part 13, and other configurations and the material of this absorption part are substantially the same as those in the above-described embodiment. Are the same.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the point of contact with either the base of the big toe of the shoe or the outside of the tip of the little finger is
Since the absorbing part is made of elastic material, for example, the pain of hallux valgus is alleviated and the hold feeling of tightening the instep is kept as usual and it is comfortable to wear, and the shape of the sole part of the shoe is the same as before. It is also preferable in terms of design.

[Brief description of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe for a left foot according to an embodiment in which a portion that abuts a base of a big toe is an absorption portion.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a shoe for a right foot of an embodiment in which a portion that abuts on the outer side of the tip of the little finger is an absorption portion.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A portion that abuts at least one of a base of a big toe and an outer end of a little finger is constituted by an elastic material as an absorbing portion, and the absorbing portion is vertically expandable and contractable. However, shoes that are difficult to expand and contract in the front-back direction.
