Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to athletic shoes suitable for running, in which the shoe upper is tightened with shoelaces. The upper of the shoe is tightened by a shoelace that is inserted through shoelace insertion holes drilled at appropriate intervals in the eyelet decoration piece that surrounds the eyelet, but in such athletic shoes, both the left and right upper pieces of the front opening are Since it is configured to be tightened from the center toward the center side, the tightening is limited by the width of the space at the front opening.

Therefore, for example, for people with somewhat low insteps, even when the shoelaces are tightened to the fullest extent in the front opening, there may still be a slight gap between the instep and the instep of the wearer. This left a large gap and poor adhesion between the upper of the shoe and the foot, resulting in an unsatisfactory wearing feeling on the foot. Furthermore, as a shoelace tightening device, a mountain climbing shoe type shoe is known which has a structure in which a reinforcing piece for reinforcing the binding piece straddles the bifurcation of a binding piece having eyelet holes on the left and right sides of the upper. (Utility Model Application Publication No. 16030 of 1954) However, as mentioned above, this type of shoe is complicated in that the binding pieces and reinforcing pieces are cut separately from the so-called eyelet decoration pieces, and these are sewn to both sides of the upper. For example, when a shoelace inserted through a binding piece is strongly pulled, the binding piece strongly presses the eyelet decoration piece formed below it, which further presses the instep part of the shoe upper. This caused the following defect. Furthermore, since the binding piece is provided near the front instep of the shoe, there is a risk that the binding piece may impede smooth flexibility of the shoe and reduce running speed. Furthermore, even if the binding pieces were sewn firmly, there was a risk that the binding pieces would come off due to the strong tightening of the shoelaces. Moreover, these binding pieces and reinforcing pieces are completely unsuitable for running shoes, where lightness is particularly important, since they load the shoes with weight.Furthermore, because they have such a complicated structure, they are not suitable for running shoes. In addition to the shoemaking process, a process of cutting the bondage strips and a sewing process of sewing them onto the upper leather naturally reduces production efficiency, increases production costs, and requires greater skill in shoemaking technology. There was a flaw in that.

The present invention provides an athletic shoe that overcomes the above-mentioned deficiencies of the conventional products and further enhances the tightening effect of the shoe.

That is, the structure of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, shoelace insertion holes 1 are provided at appropriate intervals in the eyelet decoration piece A attached along the front opening b of the shoe upper. In the shoe having the eyelet decoration piece A
An optional edge of the shoelace 3 is extended to form an enlarged part a, and an auxiliary insertion hole 2 for a desired shoelace 3 is formed in the enlarged part a, separately from the shoelace insertion hole 1 and outside of the shoelace insertion hole 1.
It has a configuration in which it is perforated. Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when the shoelace 3 inserted through the auxiliary insertion hole 2 drilled in the enlarged part a is tightened, the left and right upper pieces of the front opening are at the limit position of conventional tightening. In other words, the space in the front opening can be tightened beyond the position where it is closed by tightening and further to the position where the left and right shell pieces intersect, which is essentially the same as expanding the space in the front opening that can be tightened. It is something that produces an effect.

Therefore, when the instep of the foot is low, a large gap is already created between the instep of the foot and the front opening of the shoe when the shoelace is tightened when the shoe is being worn. This can sufficiently promote the tightening effect even for foot shapes in which the space in the front opening quickly closes and loses its tightening effect. For people with high insteps, the shoelace can be tightened satisfactorily by using the existing shoelace insertion hole 1 provided along the inner edge of the eyelet.
Therefore, as mentioned above, the present invention uses shoelace insertion holes 1 and auxiliary insertion holes 2 according to the shape of the foot, such as those with high or short insteps, so that the shoe can be tightened to the full satisfaction of the shoe wearer. This makes it possible to improve the feeling of wearing the foot inside the upper of the shoe. Furthermore, since the present invention has a simple structure in which the enlarged part a is formed as an extension of the conventional eyelet decoration A and shoelace insertion holes 1 are bored at appropriate intervals in the enlarged part a, the manufacturing process does not differ in any way from the conventional product. It is also suitable for mass production, and can be provided at approximately the same price as conventional products. In athletic shoes having an enlarged part a with an auxiliary insertion hole 2 as described above, the left and right instep pieces at the upper end of the front opening are extended so as to accommodate this part, as shown in Figure 2. It is possible to completely tighten the side of the bent part of the foot and the part of the foot that connects to the part where the foot is not pressed, giving a light fitting feeling. In athletic shoes in which an enlarged part a having a diameter of 2 is extended to approximately the central side of the front opening, tightening of the front stepping part of the foot corresponding to the enlarged part a can be facilitated. The above-mentioned auxiliary insertion hole 2 and the existing shoelace insertion hole 1 can strengthen the tightening at the desired location of the shoe wearer, and can be used especially for shoes with a high instep and a narrow foot width to suit the foot shape of each person. Select a model with an auxiliary insertion hole 2 near the center of the shoe upper, or for a foot type with a low instep and a narrow foot width, choose a model with the auxiliary insertion hole 2 near the ankle.
If you choose and wear something that has this, you can fully demonstrate its effects. Of course, in the present invention, the auxiliary insertion holes 2 can be formed in parallel throughout the eyelet decoration piece A as long as the shape of the upper is not damaged.

Furthermore, the enlarged portion a of the eyelet decoration piece A gives a gradual new impression to the viewer and has a great design effect. In particular, it is possible to provide all types of shoes with extremely high practical value, including jogging shoes, which have become extremely popular in recent years.
