The foot health appliance of claims 2 to 8 of the present invention can exhibit the following effects in addition to the above effects.

In other words, in the foot health device of the present invention, the distal ends of the adjacent cords or the acupressure bodies are connected to each other with a string-like connecting body, and each of the acupressure bodies and the string-like bodies are connected. Because the connector is hung on the back side of the finger when it is fitted between the toes, each acupressure body and the string-like body do not fall out between the toes during walking. Thus, the toes and the base of the toes can be more reliably and well stimulated.

In the foot health device of the third aspect of the present invention, since the band is formed in an annular shape with elastic fabric, it can be easily and easily attached to the foot. In addition, after the band is worn on the foot, the band fits securely and well on the sole and instep of the foot, and the position can be prevented from shifting.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since a large number of bulges are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cord-like body inserted between the fingers, the bulges allow the fingers and the fingers to be moved. The root will be more stimulated and the health promoting effect will be doubled.

In the foot health device according to the fifth and sixth aspects of the present invention, since a number of spherical auxiliary acupressure bodies are attached to the string-shaped body inserted between the fingers, the base of the finger can be more securely held. In addition, it can stimulate well, and the health promotion effect is doubled. Of course, the air permeability between the fingers is further improved.

In the foot health appliance of the present invention, the acupressure body is formed in a spherical shape from a synthetic resin material, a rubber material, a copper material, or a magnetic metal material having magnetism. Can reliably and satisfactorily press the finger and the base of the finger when the finger enters between the fingers, and can reliably stimulate the finger and the base of the finger. Of course, the air permeability between the fingers is further improved. In particular, when the acupressure body is formed of a copper material,
The germicidal action of copper ions sterilizes the toes,
It becomes difficult to catch by skin diseases such as athlete's foot. When the acupressure body is formed of a magnetic metal material made of a magnetic material, blood circulation is further promoted by the magnetism, and an extremely excellent health promotion effect can be obtained.

According to the foot health device of the present invention, since a permanent magnet is embedded and fixed in the acupressure body, when the foot health device is mounted, the magnetism further promotes blood circulation,
Extremely good health promotion effects can be obtained.
