Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement and creation of the shape of the sole of shoes for riding a motorcycle.

Conventionally, the shape of the sole of motorcycle riding shoes (generally boot type) follows the shape of ordinary walking shoes, and consists of a sole 1 and a heel 2, as shown in Fig. 1. The rising line AA' of the rising portion 2' was positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shoe, and the rising angle of the rising portion 2' with respect to the sole 1 was set to be substantially perpendicular.

Then, the rider placed the rising line AA' of the sole 1 on the step S of the motorcycle, and used the shoe in such a way that the rising part 2' was just locked to the step S.

(See Figure 2) However, in a motorcycle, the rider assumes a riding position that straddles the engine and the fuel tank.
Naturally, both legs are opened forward, and both feet are opened in an inverted V-shape with the toes facing outward from the heel (see Figure 3).As a result, the installation angle of step S (the longitudinal axis of the vehicle There was a drawback that the line A-A' of the heel did not match, forcing the passenger into an unreasonable riding position.

In addition, since the heel stands up at a right angle from the sole, if you have to quickly put your foot on the ground in an emergency such as when you fall,
There was also the drawback that the rising portion 2' got caught in the step S, making it impossible to smoothly remove the foot from the step.

These drawbacks can be overcome by removing the heel from the sole, but when riding a motorcycle, the heel prevents the foot from moving.
A foothold to ensure that the foot steps firmly when applying force to counter centrifugal force during cornering, and a locking function that prevents the foot from slipping off the foot step when operating the foot brake or gear pedal. Therefore, removing the heel will create new problems.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional products by improving the shape of the heel.When riding a motorcycle, the heel of the left and right shoes is positioned so that the rising part from the sole of the heel is in a straight line. In addition, the rising portion is an inclined surface facing toward the rear of the shoe, and has a feature that the slope on the inside of the shoe is gentler than the slope on the outside of the shoe.

Specific examples will be described below.

In the sole 3 consisting of the heel 5 and the sole leather 4, a rising line BB' formed by the rising portion 5' of the heel 5 and the sole leather 4 is inclined in the rearward direction from the outside of the shoe toward the inside. The heel 5 is constructed in this way, and the rising part 5' is an inclined surface facing the rear of the shoe, and the rising angle R on the inside of the shoe is set to be gentler than the rising angle R' on the outside of the shoe.

In this case, the angle of inclination of the rising line B-B' is determined by the angle of the legs opened when riding the motorcycle, and varies depending on the rider and the type of vehicle, so in this embodiment, it is set to an average value of 10 degrees.

Also, the rising angle R' on the outside of the shoe must be set to an extent that does not impair the locking action, and the rising angle R on the inside of the shoe must be set to an extent that makes it easy to escape from the step in an emergency. In the embodiment, R' was set to 40° and R was set to 35°, and the angle was set to decrease stepwise from R' toward R.

Further, if the corners formed by the standing heel 5', the heel 5, and the sole 4 are rounded, an even greater effect can be achieved.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when riding a motorcycle, the rising line of the rising part of the heel is parallel to the step, and a comfortable riding posture can be taken, and the rising line of the rising part of the heel is parallel to the step. By locking the step in its entirety, it becomes possible to reliably step on the step.

In addition, by making the inclination angle of the rising part gentler, it is easier to remove the foot from the step in an emergency, but on the other hand, in order not to impair the locking action of the heel, the inner heel stands, which is particularly easy to get caught in the step. By making the slope of the rising part gentle and the slope of the rising part of the outside heel steeper, we achieved the contradictory objectives of preventing the foot from getting caught on the step in an emergency and ensuring that it locks securely in the step during normal times. This is a practical invention that is extremely useful in terms of practicality and safety.

[Scope of utility model registration request] In the sole 3 consisting of the heel 5 and the sole plate 4, the heel 5 is arranged so that the rising part 5' of the heel 5 and the rising line BB' formed by the sole skin 4 are inclined from the outside of the shoe to the inside and toward the rear of the shoe. Shoes for riding a motorcycle, characterized in that the rising part 5' is an inclined surface facing the rear of the shoe, and the rising angle R on the inside of the shoe is made gentler than the rising angle R' on the outside of the shoe. sole of the shoe.
