Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cordless shoe Achilles tendon protective cover that is worn and used by utilizing the heel of a foot when mainly wearing sports shoes with a cord such as baseball shoes and golf shoes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Rupture of the Achilles tendon is often caused by twisting of the ankle due to an imbalance in how the weight is applied to the ground contact surface, especially at the time of ground contact when sprinting or jumping as sports injury. Are known.

Therefore, for the purpose of protecting the Achilles tendon, a shoe having a construction in which the foot insertion opening of the shoe itself is extended upward to integrally form an ankle protection cover for covering the ankle of the foot and the Achilles tendon, and As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-6801, a shoe body having a foot insertion opening edge at a position corresponding to the lower ankle of the foot and a shoe body are detachably connected along the foot insertion opening edge of the shoe body. The ankle reinforcement band is formed in a combination with an ankle reinforcement band, and the ankle reinforcement band is generally in the form of a band that can be wound around the outer circumference of the foot section, and both end fastening members that fasten both ends in the winding direction to each other, and the shoe body. A shoe having a configuration including a plurality of pairs of connecting tools for connecting the ankle reinforcing band to the shoe body is known between the shoe and the outer wall surface along the foot insertion opening edge.

[0004]

Among the above-mentioned known shoes, the former is a shoe without an ankle protective cover when the ankle protective cover is unnecessary because the shoe and the ankle protective cover are integrated. It is necessary to change the shoes, and especially when hitting and running to the base, where the Achilles tendon is liable to be damaged, and when not defending, one pair of shoes cannot be used.

Further, in the latter shoe, since the ankle reinforcing member can be attached to and detached from the shoe, the former disadvantage can be solved, but the shoe itself must have a structure for attaching and detaching. In addition, it cannot be applied to all sports shoes, and the most fatal drawback is that the upper part of the ankle is tightly bound, but the strength of the posterior skin of the shoe is great. This is because the binding between the part and the Achilles tendon part is obstructed, it is difficult to adhere to the foot, and a sufficient effect of protecting the Achilles tendon cannot be expected.

The present invention utilizes a shoelace, a heel of the foot, and an ankle portion to securely attach the shoe without being affected by the strength of the back skin of the shoe and without causing displacement. The ankle tendon is tightly bound and tightly covered with the ankle tendon to ensure that the Achilles tendon is prevented from being damaged, and it can be detached as needed, and the target sports shoes also have Achilles tendon protection. It is an object of the present invention to provide an Achilles tendon protective cover for a shoe that can be used without any special processing for using the cover, can be easily sewn as a separate body from the shoe, and can be provided at low cost.

[0007]

[Function] The Achilles tendon protective cover for a shoe with a cord configured as described above is configured such that the protective cover body is wrapped around the ankle with a wrapping fastener band, and the heel attachment part is attached to the sole of the foot along the heel of the foot. After that, put on the shoes and tighten the shoelaces through the holes for the shoelaces at the lower left and right corners of the cover body, and use the shoelaces, the heels and ankles of the foot, and the back skin of the shoes. The ankle heel and Achilles tendon are covered without being affected by the strength of the shoe and without causing positional displacement, and the extension band of the Achilles tendon is restrained while the connecting band of the ankle attachment part is along the heel of the foot. It acts so as to firmly bind and tightly adhere to each other, and it can surely prevent damage to the Achilles tendon.

Further, since the Achilles tendon protective cover for laced shoes and the shoe are only connected by a shoelace, it can be used not only for various sports shoes but also for wearing general laced shoes, Moreover, since the Achilles tendon protective cover for the shoe with a cord can be easily removed from the foot by releasing the lace with the shoelace and pulling out the shoelace from the hole for the shoelace, it is easy to damage the Achilles tendon like a baseball. It can be easily used with a pair of shoes without changing shoes, such as wearing it at the time of running and on the first run, and removing it when not defending (especially pitcher).
