DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a bottom part, 3 is a toe cover, 7 and 7 are hook strings, and 9 and 9 are instep parts.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom portion 1 is made of an elastic material such as rubber in the form of a vertically elongated, substantially oval plate, and is adapted to the size of a slightly larger foot. Also,
The thickness of the bottom portion 1 is thinner than that of a normal shoe but thicker than that of the toe cover 3 and the like, so that the bottom portion 1 can be easily bent and can walk on a slightly uneven road surface. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the back surface of the bottom portion 1, a large number of slip preventing grooves 1a, 1a ... Are laterally recessed, which makes the bottom portion 1 easier to bend. There is.

A toe cover 3 which is three-dimensionally formed in a cup shape is fixed to the front upper side of the bottom 1 so as to open rearward. The toe cover 3 is made of an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin so as to be thicker than the instep portion 9 and the like so that the toe is not damaged even when walking on the uneven road surface. Further, since the toe cover 3 is three-dimensionally formed, it is easy to wear. The bottom portion 1 and the toe cover 3 may be integrally formed of the same material.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, one end of hook strings 7, 7 are fixed to both sides of the rear part of the bottom part 1. A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 5a, 5b, 5a, 5b are fixed to the tip portions of the hook strings 7 and 7 and the upper surface of the toe cover 3, and the tip portions of the hook strings 7 and 7 are covered with the toe cover 3 respectively. It can be fixed on the upper surface of. The surface fasteners 5a, 5
b is composed of a hook-shaped fiber member and a pile (loop) fiber member, and these many hook-shaped fibers and pile-shaped fibers are intertwined with each other so that they can be attached and detached only in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the toe cover 3. It is configured to be possible. When the hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 5b are used in this way, the tip portions can be fixed by appropriately adjusting the lengths of the hook strings 7 and 7, but the toe cover 3
Alternatively, a small hole may be opened at the end and the tip of the hook string 7 may be passed through the small hole to be tied.

On both sides of the central portion of the bottom portion 1 (between the toe cover 3 and the hook string 7), one edge of the cloth-like upper portions 9, 9 is fixed, and the upper portion 9 is made of cloth, It is thin and made of a flexible material such as leather so that it can be easily folded. Then, on the other edge of the insteps 9 and 9, the fastening string portions 9a and 9
a is formed so as to project.

Since the emergency disaster-prevention sizeless shoe constructed as described above is not provided with a heel part that is stiff and stood up, when the hook strings 7 and 7 and the instep parts 9 and 9 are folded during storage, the entire structure is substantially reduced. It has a flat plate shape, is not bulky, and can be suitably stored in an emergency carry-out bag or the like, and can be taken out quickly in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake.

In use, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the toes are inserted into the toe cover 3 and the uppers 9 and 9 are lifted from both sides of the bottom 1 to secure the fastening cords 9a and 9a. Tie on the upper side of the instep.

Then, in the case of a person with large legs, as shown in FIG. 2, the hook strings 7, 7 are turned from the upper side of the heel to the opposite side, and further pulled forward, so that the tip portion is the surface fastener 5a ,.
It is fixed to the upper surface of the toe cover 3 via 5b. Then, since the rear part of the bottom portion 1 is pressed against the heel by the hook strings 7 and 7, unlike the slippers and the like, the heel does not float during walking, and it is possible to walk appropriately like a normal shoe.

On the other hand, in the case of a person with small feet, as shown in FIG. 3, the hook strings 7 and 7 are pulled upward and forward so that the hooks are crossed on the upper side of the foot, and the front end portions are hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and It is fixed to the upper surface side of the toe cover 3 via 5b. Then, also in this case, since the rear part of the bottom portion 1 is pressed against the heel of the foot by the hooking strings 7 and 7, it is possible to suitably walk without the heel floating. Furthermore, since the bottom portion 1 is easily bent, pulling the hook strings 7 and 7 forward causes the extra portion on the rear side of the bottom portion 1 to bend and stand up, which does not hinder walking, so that walking is more preferable. be able to. Therefore, since it is possible to suitably cope with the difference in the size of the foot, it is possible for another person to adapt.

[0017]

As described above, in the emergency disaster prevention sizeless shoe according to the present invention, the bottom portion is formed into a foldable plate shape, one end of the hooking string is fixed to both sides of the rear portion of the bottom portion, and the upper surface of the toe cover is fixed. By providing the string fixing part to the, when using, pull the tip of the hook string forward and fix it to the string fixing part, the rear part of the bottom is pressed against the heel, so the heel does not float during walking,
You can walk in the same way as you would with normal shoes. And even when the foot is smaller than the size of the bottom, the heel does not float, and the extra portion on the rear side of the bottom bends and stands up, which does not hinder walking, so it is possible to walk more suitably. it can. Therefore, since it is possible to suitably cope with the difference in the size of the foot, it is possible for another person to adapt.
By forming the toe cover in the shape of a cup that opens rearward, it is possible to facilitate wearing and protect the toe. On the other hand, since the heel portion and the like that have stood up hard are not provided, it can be made into a substantially flat plate shape when stored, is not bulky, and can be suitably stored in an emergency carry-out bag or the like.

If the string fixing portion is a surface fastener,
It is possible to easily adjust the length of the hook string and fix the tip portion.

Further, by forming the upper part in a cloth shape and fixing the edges to both sides of the bottom part, when in use, the upper part is lifted from both sides and the other edge is fastened on the upper side of the instep through the fastening part. , The instep can be protected. On the other hand, the upper part can be folded so as not to be bulky during storage.
