Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to comfortable footwear that is used in the footwear manufacturing industry and is used by people who have suffered from bunions, that is, hallux valgus on their feet. .

(Prior Art) Among various types of footwear, there are work shoes with heels that are particularly used by women in department stores, hospitals, etc.

These work shoes have a sole-shaped sole, a leather upper is attached to the sole, and a relatively thick and tall heel is attached to the rear of the sole. When in use, the shoe is worn by inserting the foot through the opening formed at the top of the shoe and walking, etc., while standing with the weight of the shoe on the toe side.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In today's footwear, the prevalence of shoes is high, and the time they are used for them is also increasing, and especially women's shoes, including the conventional work shoes mentioned above, are becoming more and more fashionable. The use of high-heeled shoes, or so-called high heels, is noticeable.When wearing these high heels while standing, the weight of the foot is placed on the big toe and little toe, so if these high heels are used for a long time, the bones of the big toe may change. As a result of this change, an increasing number of older women are suffering from bunions.

This "bunion" or "baunion" is a condition in which the big toe bends from the base toward the little toe, causing the bone at the base to protrude outward and become swollen and lump-shaped. This lump-shaped swelling causes the swelling to rub when shoes are worn, making it difficult to wear footwear, which poses the problem of interfering with daily life, work, etc. due to the use of shoes. Ta.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it forms a diagonally knitted mesh part on the upper of footwear, and allows the diagonal knitted pieces of the mesh part to move freely in the direction of the stitches. At the same time, an elastic patch is placed opposite the inside of this mesh part, so that when a person with a foot disability such as bunion wears the shoes, the mesh part fits into the disabled part and prevents blisters, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide footwear that is comfortable to wear.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The footwear according to the present invention for achieving the above object has a sole-shaped sole body 1, as shown in the drawings of the embodiments.
In footwear A consisting of the upper 6 attached to the sole 1, a diagonally woven mesh portion 11 is formed at a position A corresponding to the thumb of the upper 6, and the mesh portion 11 is configured. The diagonal knitted pieces 12 and 13 are movable in the stitch direction by foot pressure, and
A stretchable padding cloth 15 is placed inside this mesh portion 11.
This is a configuration in which the two are installed in parallel.

(Function) Since the footwear of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, when the footwear A is used by a person suffering from a bunion disorder, for example, the footwear A can be inserted into the opening 10 of the footwear A. At this time, the bump-shaped swelling 14 that occurs at the base of the big toe is covered with a stretchable patch by pressing the finger against the mesh 11 formed on the upper 6 of the footwear A. 15 is stretched, and then the diagonal knitted pieces 12 and 13 of the mesh part 11 are stretched.
moves in the direction of the stitches to relieve the pressure on the swollen part 14 and allow the swollen part to protrude from the footwear A in a reasonable manner, thereby preventing shoe blisters when walking.

(Example) Next, a first example of footwear according to the present invention is shown in drawing 1.
This will be explained based on FIGS. 3 to 3.

Footwear A in this embodiment represents work shoes with heels worn by nurses, and 1 in the figure is a sole formed in the shape of a sole, which is composed of a main sole 2, a midsole 3, and a midsole 4. A relatively tall heel portion 5 is provided protruding from the rear portion of the main sole portion 2.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an upper part of the footwear A attached to the sole body 1, which includes a toe skin part 7, a waist skin part 8, and a tongue skin part 9 made of leather.
The shoe has a shoe opening 10 at its upper part.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a mesh portion formed at a position A corresponding to the thumb of the upper 6. The diagonal knitted pieces 12 and 13 that make up this mesh portion 11 are knitted diagonally, and when worn by a person with bunion syndrome. In order to move freely in the stitch direction due to the overhang of the swollen part 14, each part is not glued but simply knitted together, allowing the swollen part 14 to protrude easily from the footwear A, and this mesh part 11 is On the outside, it also serves as a cosmetic department.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a stretchable padding cloth placed opposite to the inside of the mesh portion 11, which is made of a combination of cloth and rubber and is stretchable, and is sewn to the inside of the upper 6 to cover the swollen portion 14. This prevents the swollen part 14 from being exposed from the mesh part 11, and also prevents sand, pebbles, etc. from entering from the mesh part 11.

16 is a shoelace inserted through the upper 6.

As mentioned above, when the footwear A according to this embodiment is used by a nurse who has suffered from bunion, she inserts her foot through the opening 10 of the upper 6 and puts it on as required, just like when wearing normal footwear. This is used to tie the shoelaces 16 of the upper 6. At this time, the swollen part 14 due to the bunion is located at the mesh part 11 of the upper 6, and the lined patch 15 is stretched, and the mesh part 11 is diagonally crossed. The knitting pieces 13 are moved in the direction of the stitches to make it possible for the swollen part 14 to protrude from the footwear A without force, and when walking while wearing the footwear A, the swollen part 14 is brought together by the padding cloth 15 and the mesh. The shoe fits in well with the shoe part 11 to the extent that it does not cause blisters, and allows for comfortable walking without the pain caused by blisters. These are the perfect shoes for people.

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 4 and 5. The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. 1 is shown in which mesh portions 15', 17 are provided, and these mesh portions 15', 17 are provided with diagonal knitted pieces 12', 13' and 18, 1 as in the first embodiment.
9 are knitted so as to be movable in the stitch direction by finger pressure, and elastic padding cloths 15' and 20 are placed opposite each other on the inside of both mesh parts 15' and 17. Use it the same way.

When the footwear according to this embodiment is used by a person with bunion or a person with a large width (instep circumference), the footwear may be worn on the big toe side and little toe side of the foot.
The mesh portions 15' and 20 that can be freely extended are adapted to fit the shoes flexibly and prevent chafing, so that the wearer can always feel refreshed and comfortable even when wearing work shoes with heels. However, it does not cause problems when used for long periods of time, and has the practical effect of not affecting work etc. due to shoe blisters.

(Effect of the invention) Since the footwear according to the present invention is based on the above-mentioned structure, when this footwear is used by a person with bunion, for example, the footwear can be worn at the base of the big toe and little toe caused by the bunion. The bump-shaped swelling caused by the bending of the bone naturally protrudes beyond the mesh due to its conformity to the stretchable patch and the bias of the stitches in the diagonally woven mesh, causing the instep to become loose when walking. Since the cover does not rub against the swollen area, people with bunion syndrome can wear this footwear to provide information on buses, department stores, hospitals, etc. while standing or walking for long periods of time. However, there is no pain caused by the lump-shaped swelling caused by the bunion, so you can work just like any other worker, and the shoes are comfortable to wear.The mesh part is diagonally knitted. Therefore, since it also exhibits a decorative effect, it also has a unique effect of increasing the commercial value.
