Description

The present invention relates to a sole for walking, raining and everyday shoes, in addition to a sole suitable for rough road surfaces such as trail running, mountain climbing, and cross-country. In the present invention, the rough road surface includes a muddy road surface, an inclined road surface, an uneven road surface, and the like.

  In general, in order to improve grip performance on rough road surfaces, it is effective to increase the amount of soil that cleat penetrates the road surface and scrapes when gripping. Therefore, it is important to consider the direction of the load applied to the cleat from the road surface and its projected area when gripping. However, conventionally, the direction of the load in the sole surface when walking on an inclined road surface is not sufficiently considered. In particular, an arch that does not contact the ground is often formed on the middle foot, and it seems that no cleat design has been made with sufficient grip.

JP2011-382A (summary) JP2009-233163A (Summary) JP2007-307377A (summary) JP2002-034609A (summary) JP09-075106A (Summary) JP07-136003A (Summary)

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shoe sole having excellent grip performance on an inclined road surface, particularly on an uneven road surface.

Prior to the description of the configuration of the present invention, the direction of the load in the sole surface on the inclined road surface will be described.

  The inventor first calculated the direction of main loads applied to the sole surface when walking (4 km / h) on an inclined road surface. An illustration of the direction of the load is shown in FIG. 11A. In FIG. 11A, the alternate long and short dash line and the solid line indicate the direction of the load mainly applied during walking down and climbing, respectively.

  As indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, a load is applied from the rear foot portion 5R toward the rear end of the middle foot portion 5M and the front foot portion 5F toward the rearward inner side ME and the outer side LA when walking down. On the other hand, as shown by a solid line, when climbing and walking, the front diagonal inner ME, the front diagonal outer LA, and the front at the front D1 with respect to the line MP connecting the MP joints of the forefoot 5F. It can be seen that a load is applied.

Consider the cause of such a load.
When climbing and walking, after the shoe sole touches down and before taking off, the foot dorsiflexes in the line MP connecting the MP joints, and in this dorsiflexed state, the part in front of the foot from the line MP clears the soil on the road surface. Scrape backwards. Therefore, a load having a vector toward the front D1 is generated. Furthermore, when the forefoot rotates around the mother ball in the direction in which the toes move outward, a load toward the outside LA of the oblique front D1 is generated in the outside LA of the foot, while in the inside ME of the foot It is estimated that a load toward the inner side ME of the front D1 is generated.

  On the other hand, when walking, the sole of the shoe is generally slightly bent and raised above the front D1 from the line MP connecting the MP joints. Therefore, when descending and walking, the part of the rear D2 from the line MP is grounded before the part of the front D1 from the line MP is grounded.

Here, the load applied from the outsole 5 to the road surface at the portion D2 behind the line MP is large on the long axis CL of the foot and in the vicinity of the main ball O1, and is small at the inner and outer edges of the outsole 5. In other words, considering the force from the outsole to the road surface when walking down, no force is applied to the outer periphery of the sole, so in addition to the force applied in the direction of sliding to the toe side, the force is applied in the direction of gathering at the center of the sole. It becomes a combined force. On the other hand, the direction of the force from the road surface to the outsole when walking down is opposite to the resultant force.
For this reason, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 11A, the load applied to the outsole 5 from the road surface is centered on the long axis CL and the main ball O1, and on the outer side LA of the diagonally rearward D2 in the outer side LA of the foot. On the other hand, it is presumed that the inner ME of the foot is headed toward the inner ME of the diagonally rearward D2.

In one aspect, the present invention includes a rubber outsole 5 and a resin midsole 4. The plurality of first cleats 11 to 14 and second cleats 22 made of rubber project from the base surface 5 </ b> S of the outsole 5. , 23 and the third cleats 31 to 34 are respectively disposed on the soles of the front foot part 5F, the middle foot part 5M and the rear foot part 5R,
Among the first cleats 11 to 14, the inner first cleats 11 and 12 disposed on the inner side ME of the foot have engagement surfaces 11E and 12E toward the outer side LA of the oblique rear D2,
Outer first cleats 13 and 14 disposed on the outer side LA of the first cleats 11 to 14 have engaging surfaces 13E and 14E toward the inner ME of the oblique rear D2,
Among the second cleats 22 and 23, the inner second cleat 22 disposed on the inner side ME of the foot has an engagement surface 22E toward the outer side LA of the oblique front D1,
Of the second cleats 22 and 23, the outer second cleat 23 disposed on the outer side LA of the foot has an engagement surface 23E toward the inner ME of the oblique front D1,
Among the third cleats 31 to 34, the inner third cleats 31 and 32 disposed on the inner side ME of the foot have engagement surfaces 31E and 32E toward the outer side LA of the oblique front D1,
Out of the third cleats 31 to 34, the outer third cleats 33 and 34 disposed on the outer side LA of the foot have engagement surfaces 33E and 34E toward the inner ME of the oblique front D1.

In the present invention, the term “engagement surface toward ˜” means “the engagement surface that is substantially orthogonal to ˜”. However, the engagement surface does not need to be perpendicular to the base surface 5S, and may be 70 ° to 110 ° with respect to the base surface 5S.

In the present invention, the engagement surfaces 11E and 12E of the inner first cleats 11 and 12 of the forefoot portion 5F are directed toward the outer side LA obliquely rearward, while the outer first cleats 13 and 14 of the forefoot portion 5F are engaged. The surfaces 13E and 14E are directed toward the inner ME on the oblique rear side. Therefore, the engagement surfaces 11E to 14E are easily engaged so as to be orthogonal to the load direction described above. Therefore, the grip when climbing and walking will be high and it will be difficult to slip.
Such grip performance will also be exhibited when walking on flat ground.

On the other hand, in the middle foot portion 5M and the rear foot portion 5R, the engagement surfaces 22E, 31E, 32E of the inner second and third cleats 22, 31, 32 are directed toward the outer front LA obliquely forward. Further, in the middle foot portion 5M and the rear foot portion 5R, the engagement surfaces 23E, 33E, 34E of the outer second and third cleats 23, 33, 34 are directed toward the obliquely forward inner ME. Therefore, the engagement surfaces 22E, 23E, 31E to 34E are easily engaged so as to be orthogonal to the load direction described above. Therefore, it will have a high grip when walking down and will not slip easily.
Such grip performance will also be exhibited when walking on flat ground.

  Preferably, an angle α2 formed by at least one of the engagement surfaces 22E and 23E of the second cleats 22 and 23 and the base surface 5S is formed by the rear surface BS of the second cleats 22 and 23 and the base surface 5S. It is the same as the angle β2 or an angle closer to a right angle than the angle β2.

When the angle α2 is closer to the right angle than the angle β2, the engagement surfaces 22E and 23E easily engage with soil in the middle foot portion 5M, and the grip performance is improved, while the rear surface BS is inclined with respect to the base surface 5S. The area of the area where the second cleats 22 and 23 protrude from the base surface 5S is larger than the area of the top surface T of the second cleats 22 and 23, and the load applied to the soles is increased. You can expect to be dispersed and relaxed.
In order to obtain a sufficient engagement action, the engagement surface is more preferably set to 80 ° to 100 ° with respect to the base surface 5S.

  Preferably, an angle α3 formed by at least one of the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E of the third cleats 31 to 34 and the base surface 5S is formed by the rear surface BS of the third cleats 31 to 34 and the base surface 5S. The angle is the same as the angle β3 or closer to a right angle than the angle β3.

  Preferably, an angle α1 formed by at least one of the engagement surfaces 11E to 14E of the first cleats 11 to 14 and the base surface 5S is formed by the front surface FS of the first cleats 11 to 14 and the base surface 5S. It is the same as the angle β1 or an angle closer to a right angle than the angle β1.

  When the angle α3 is closer to the right angle than the angle β3, or when the angle α1 is closer to the right angle than the angle β1, the grip performance and the push-up relaxation can be expected in the rear foot portion 5R and the front foot portion 5F.

  Preferably, the first, second and third cleats 11 to 14, 22, 23, 31 to 34 protrude from the base surface 5S by approximately 2 to 10 mm. For cleats other than the first to third cleats, cleats having a height of less than 2 mm may exist.

  In this case, when the protrusion height H from the base surface 5S is 2 mm (millimeters) or more, a certain degree of engagement force can be obtained. Moreover, stability and a lightness are not inhibited by protrusion height H being 10 mm or less.

For these reasons, the protrusion height H is more preferably about 2.5 to 8 mm, more preferably about 2.8 to 7 mm, and most preferably about 3 to 6 mm.

  Preferably, the area of each top surface T to be grounded in each of the first, second and third cleats 11 to 14, 22, 23, 31 to 34 is 50 to 500 square millimeters, more preferably 50 to 300. Square millimeter.

  If the area of the top surface T is less than 50 square millimeters, it is difficult to form a sufficiently long engagement surface. On the other hand, if the area of the top surface T exceeds 300 square millimeters, it will be difficult for cleats to enter the ground.

Preferably, angles θ22 and θ23 formed by a normal line NL perpendicular to at least one of the engagement surfaces 22E and 23E of the second cleats 22 and 23 and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 15 ° to 45 °. And the area of the said engaging surfaces 22E and 23E is set to 20-500 square millimeters, More preferably, the said area is set to 40-200 square millimeters.
Here, “the angle formed between the normal line perpendicular to the engagement surface and the long axis of the foot” takes into account the case where the engagement surface is inclined with respect to the base surface 5S, and the normal line and the long axis are It means the angle formed by both lines when projected onto the basal plane 5S.

In this case, the engagement surfaces 22E and 23E will exert an engagement force toward the intended engagement direction in the middle foot portion 5M.
If the angles θ22 and θ23 are smaller than 15 ° or larger than 45 °, a deviation occurs in the engaging direction, and a sufficient engaging force cannot be exhibited.
Further, if the engagement area is less than 40 square millimeters, it is difficult to sufficiently engage the ground. On the other hand, if it exceeds 200 square millimeters, the engagement force of one cleat is locally increased and the balance of walking is increased. It may be easy to collapse.

For this reason, more preferably, the engagement surfaces 22E and 23E in which the angles θ22 and θ23 are set to 15 ° to 45 ° are at least one for both the inner and outer second cleats 22 and 23 (each). Or a plurality are formed. More preferably, the angles θ22 and θ23 formed by the normal line NL perpendicular to both the engaging surfaces 22E and 23E and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 20 ° to 40 °, and most preferably the engaging surfaces 22E, The area of 23E is set to 50 to 160 square millimeters.

Preferably, angles θ31 to θ34 formed by a normal line NL perpendicular to at least one of the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E of the third cleats 31 to 34 and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 15 ° to 45 °. And the area of the said engagement surfaces 31E-34E is set to 20-500 square millimeters, More preferably, it is set to 40-200 square millimeters.

In this case, like the above-described middle foot portion 5M, the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E in the rear foot portion 5R will exert an engagement force toward the intended engagement direction.

For the same reason as described above, more preferably, the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E in which the angles θ31 to θ34 are set to 15 ° to 45 ° are at least for both the inner and outer third cleats 31 to 34 (each). One or more are formed. More preferably, the angles θ31 to θ34 formed by the normal NL perpendicular to the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 20 ° to 40 °, and most preferably the engagement surfaces 31E to 34E. Is set to 50 to 160 square millimeters.

Preferably, angles θ11 to θ14 formed by a normal line NL perpendicular to the engagement surfaces 11E to 14E of at least one of the first cleats 11 to 14 and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 20 ° to 60 °. And the area of the said engaging surfaces 11E-14E is set to 20-500 square millimeters, More preferably, it is set to 40-200 square millimeters.

In this case, like the above-described middle foot portion 5M, the engagement surfaces 11E to 14E in the front foot portion 5F will exert an engagement force toward the intended engagement direction.

For the same reason as described above, the engagement surfaces 11E to 14E in which the angles θ11 to θ14 are set to 20 ° to 60 ° are more preferably at least 1 for both the inner and outer first cleats 11 to 14 (each). One or more are formed. More preferably, the angles θ11 to θ14 formed by the normal line NL perpendicular to the engaging surfaces 11E to 14E and the long axis CL of the foot are set to 25 ° to 55 °, and most preferably the engaging surfaces 11E to 14E. Is set to 60 to 200 square millimeters.

Preferably, the midsole 4 includes a midsole main body 40 and a reinforcing device 41 having a Young's modulus larger than that of the midsole main body 40, and at least one of the second cleats 22 and 23 is directly below the reinforcing device 41. Some are arranged.

When the second cleats 22 and 23 of the middle foot portion 5M come into contact with the ground, the reaction force is applied to the middle foot 1M between the Lisfranc joint and the Chopard joint, and it is easy to feel pushing up on the sole. On the other hand, in this example, the second cleats 22 and 23 are arranged in a part directly below the strengthening device 41, and it is difficult to feel the push-up.

In particular, when the reinforcing device 41 is formed of a foam resin, an appropriate cushion is given to the foot arch and the foot arch is prevented from falling.

More preferably, a plurality of the inner second cleats 22 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the foot, and the inner second cleat 22 in front of the top surface T of the inner second cleat 22 in the rear D2 in an unloaded state. The distance from the road surface is larger on the top surface T of
A plurality of the outer second cleats 23 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the foot, and in a no-load state, the top surface T of the outer second cleat 23 ahead of the top surface T of the outer second cleat 23 in the rear D2. The distance from the road is larger.

In the middle foot portion 5M, the top surface T of the front second cleats 22, 23 has a greater distance from the road surface 100 than the top surface T of the rear second cleats 22, 23. Therefore, when the foot flat after landing, the front D1 of the upper surface of the midsole 4 on the outsole 5 is likely to sink in the middle foot portion 5M. Therefore, the stagnation of the load that is likely to occur in the middle foot portion 5M during the foot flat is less likely to occur, and it is easy to walk forward.

More preferably, the top surfaces T of the second cleats 22 and 23 in the front D1 are not grounded in the unloaded state, and a value obtained by dividing one foot load (load on one shoe) by the foot size is 8 kg. / Cm, more preferably 4 kg / cm, even more preferably 3 kg / cm.
The load on one leg on the middle foot during high-speed walking is about 60% of the body weight (about 80% of the body weight during low-speed walking), and when the body weight is 60 kg and the foot size is 27 cm, 60 kg × 0.6 ÷ 27 cm = 1. A load of 33 kg / cm is applied. Therefore, it is particularly preferable to ground when the value is at least 2 kg / cm, and most preferably ground when it is at least 1.3 kg / cm. It should be noted that the load on one leg applied to the middle foot during high-speed running is about 300% of the body weight. When the body weight is 70 kg and the foot size is 27 cm, a load of 70 kg × 3.0 ÷ 27 cm = 7.78 kg / cm is applied. Further, the load on one leg applied to the middle foot during low-speed running is about 150% of the body weight. When the body weight is 70 kg and the foot size is 27 cm, a load of 70 kg × 1.5 ÷ 27 cm = 3.89 kg / cm is applied. Further, the load on one leg applied to the middle foot during low-speed walking is about 80% of the body weight. When the body weight is 70 kg and the foot size is 27 cm, a load of 70 kg × 0.8 ÷ 27 cm = 2.07 kg / cm is applied.

In this case, the second cleats 22 and 23 in the front D1 are grounded during walking, and can suppress the fall of the arch of the foot, and enter the ground after the grounding and exert an engaging force.

From the viewpoint of suppressing the fall of the arch, the distance from the top surface T of the second cleat 22, 23 of the front D1 to the road surface 100 is preferably about 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. For the same reason, when the value obtained by dividing the load on one foot by the size of the foot is 0.5 kg / cm or less, it is more preferable that the second cleats 22 and 23 on the front D1 do not come in contact with each other, When the divided value is 1 kg / cm or less, it is particularly preferable that the second cleats 22 and 23 of the front D1 are not grounded.

Preferably, the inner third cleats 31, 32 are
A plurality of cleats 32 near the center disposed at positions closer to the long axis CL of the foot than the inner edge of the outsole 5 and spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the foot; and A plurality of cleats 31 closer to the inner edge disposed closer to the inner edge than the long axis CL;
The outer third cleats 33, 34 are
A plurality of cleats 33 located near the long axis CL of the foot than the outer edge of the outsole 5 and spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the foot; And a plurality of cleats 34 closer to the outer edge than the major axis CL.

In this case, at least four cleats 31 and 32 are disposed in the inner ME of the rear foot portion 5R in a state where they are separated from each other in the front-rear and left-right directions, and are similarly disposed on the outer side LA of the rear foot portion 5R. Therefore, it becomes easy to exert engagement force and support force in the entire rear foot portion 5R, and the support of the rear foot portion 5R will be easily stabilized.

More preferably, of the inner third cleats 31 and 32, the cleat 32 closer to the center and the cleat 31 closer to the inner edge are normal lines perpendicular to the engagement surfaces 31E and 32E of the cleats 31 and 32, respectively. Are offset from each other in the NL direction and are alternately arranged,
Of the outer third cleats 33 and 34, the cleat 33 closer to the center and the cleat 34 closer to the outer edge are offset from each other in the direction of the normal line NL perpendicular to the engagement surfaces 33E and 34E of the respective cleats 33 and 34. And are alternately arranged.

In this case, at each of the inside and outside of the rear foot portion 5R, at least four cleats are offset from each other in the direction of the normal line NL and are alternately arranged. Therefore, any one of the cleats is easily arranged on an arbitrary line crossing the rear foot portion 5R, and the engagement force and the support force are more easily exerted on the entire rear foot portion 5R, so that the rear foot portion 5R is supported. It will be easier to stabilize.

More preferably, the center-side cleat 32 of the inner third cleats 31 and 32 and the center-side cleat 33 of the outer third cleats 33 and 34 are offset from each other in the major axis CL direction. Are arranged.

In this case, at least eight cleats 31 to 34 of the rear foot portion 5R are further offset. For this reason, the entire rear foot portion 5R is more likely to exert the engagement force and the support force, and the support of the rear foot portion 5R will be more stable.

Preferably, the inner first cleats 11, 12 are
A plurality of cleats 12 located near the center of the foot and closer to the long axis CL of the foot than the inner edge of the outsole 5; A plurality of cleats 11 arranged closer to the inner edge than the major axis CL, and disposed closer to the inner edge,
The outer first cleats 13 and 14 are:
A plurality of cleats 13 near the center disposed at positions closer to the long axis CL of the foot than the outer edge of the outsole 5, and spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the foot; and And a plurality of cleats 14 closer to the outer edge than the major axis CL.

In this case, at least four cleats 11 and 12 are arranged in the front-rear and left-right separated state in the inner ME of the forefoot part 5F, while being similarly arranged in the outer side LA of the forefoot part 5F. Therefore, the entire forefoot portion 5F is likely to exert engagement force and support force, and the support of the forefoot portion 5F will be likely to be stabilized.

More preferably, of the inner first cleats 11 and 12, the cleat 12 closer to the center and the cleat 11 closer to the inner edge are normal lines perpendicular to the engaging surfaces 11E and 12E of the cleats 11 and 12, respectively. Are offset from each other in the NL direction and are alternately arranged,
Of the outer first cleats 13 and 14, the cleat 13 closer to the center and the cleat 14 closer to the outer edge are offset from each other in the direction of the normal line NL perpendicular to the engaging surfaces 13E and 14E of these cleats 13 and 14. And are alternately arranged.

In this case, at each of the inside and outside of the forefoot portion 5F, at least four cleats are offset from each other in the direction of the normal line NL and are alternately arranged. Therefore, any one of the cleats is easily arranged on an arbitrary line crossing the forefoot portion 5F, and the engagement force and the support force are more easily exhibited in the entire forefoot portion 5F, so that the support of the forefoot portion 5F is further stabilized. It will be easy.

More preferably, the central cleat 12 of the inner first cleats 11 and 12 and the central cleat 13 of the outer first cleats 13 and 14 are offset from each other in the major axis CL direction. Are arranged.

In this case, at least eight cleats 11 to 14 of the front foot portion 5F are further offset. Therefore, the entire forefoot portion 5F is more likely to exert the engagement force and the support force, and the support of the forefoot portion 5F will be more stable.

Preferably, the cleats 12 and 13 closer to the center of the first cleats 11 to 14 are disposed on the outer side LA of the foot than the engagement surface 12E of the inner first cleat 12 disposed on the inner side ME of the foot. The engaging surface 13E of the outer first cleat 13 has a larger area.

During walking, the load distribution in the sole surface changes the direction of the load around the baseball. For this reason, the boundary line in which the direction of the engagement surface of the cleat changes in the foot width direction is slightly offset from the long axis of the foot to a line slightly closer to the inner ball. Therefore, the area of the outer area is larger than the inner area than this line. Therefore, by making the area of the engaging surface 13E of the outer first cleat 13 larger than that of the inner first cleat 12, the engaging force is easily exerted.

Preferably, the inner first cleats 11 and 12 are disposed in a region surrounded by two cleats 11 and 11 near the inner edge and two cleats 12 and 12 near the center, and the inner first cleats 11 and 12 An inner auxiliary cleat 15 having an engagement surface 15E on a surface intersecting the engagement surfaces 11E, 12E;
The outer first cleats 13, 14 are arranged in a region surrounded by the two outer cleats 14, 14 and the two central cleats 13, 13, and are engaged with the outer first cleats 13, 14. An outer auxiliary cleat 16 having an engagement surface 16E on a surface intersecting with 13E and 14E,
Each of the auxiliary cleats 15 and 16 is disposed apart from the first cleats 11 to 14.

A footpad is arranged on the front foot 1F, and various complicated operations are required as compared with the rear foot 1R. For example, in the case where the direction is changed by propelling diagonally forward inward or outward, or when stopping suddenly, engaging forces in various directions may be required in the front foot 1F.

From this point of view, the auxiliary cleats 15 and 16 having the engaging surfaces 15E and 16E on the surfaces intersecting the engaging surfaces 11E to 14E of the first cleats 11 to 14 exert an engaging force when the direction is changed. Will demonstrate.
In particular, since the main first cleats 11 to 14 and the auxiliary cleats 15 and 16 are spaced apart from each other, it may be difficult to cause a situation in which the clay soil adheres between the cleats in the front foot portion 5F. Absent.

Preferably, a virtual line VL that extends smoothly back and forth along the long axis CL of the foot is set, and each of the inner cleats 11, 12, 22, 31, and 32 is disposed on the inner side ME of the virtual line VL. The outer cleats 13, 14, 23, 33, and 34 are disposed on the outer side LA of the virtual line VL.

In this case, the midsole 4 is supported by a thin plate-like portion of the outsole 5 on the virtual line VL between the inner cleats and the outer cleats, and is not supported by the cleats. Therefore, the upper surface of the midsole 4 is likely to sink downward along the virtual line VL, the foot is guided along the long axis CL, and the foot is not easily warped or warped. Therefore, walking and running efficiency will be improved.

More preferably, of the first and third cleats 11 to 14 and 31 to 34, the cleats 12, 13, 32, and 33 arranged close to the virtual line VL are adjacent to the virtual line VL. A first groove G1 is formed along the closest first side S1.

By forming the first groove G1, the upper surface of the midsole 4 tends to sink downward in the vicinity of the first side S1. Therefore, the upper surface of the midsole 4 will easily sink further downward along the virtual line VL.
