Description

Height adjustable shoes {HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE SHOES}

The present invention relates to a height-adjustable footwear technology, and more particularly, to a height-adjustable footwear that allows a user to increase the height as needed without using a height-height insole.

In general, if the height is small or if you want to show your height, people tend to have a heel inside the shoe that is higher than normal shoes, so it seems to have a heel similar to normal shoes from the outside, but the height of the person wearing the shoe is increased. Wear tall height shoes that work.

Initially, there was a type of inserting a separate key height pad into the heel part of a shoe insole, but recently it is common to manufacture the insole itself as a key height insole.

In other words, the heel portion of the insole is thickly molded, so that the height of the insole can be enjoyed.

However, since the conventional key height insole is used together with a normal insole placed inside the shoe, there is a hassle that the wearer has to use and manage two insoles (normal insole and key height insole), as well as a conventional key. Since the high insole supports only the heel of the wearer, the arch portion of the sole is not easily supported by the insole, so there is a problem in that walking is very uncomfortable and the fit is low.

That is, as the insole increases, the ankle rises over the heel of the shoe, and the shoe may easily peel off and the stability may deteriorate. To prevent this, if you relax and live your ankles and legs, your legs will easily become tired.
