Description

Footwear to encourage straight walking {FOOTWEAR FOR SELF TEACHING OF STRAIGHT WALK}

The present invention relates to a shoe article that automatically induces straight walking.

Shoes started out as a way to protect the feet, but as related technology develops, they serve a variety of purposes and functions. For example, there are shoes to assist specific exercises such as soccer shoes, running shoes, basketball shoes, and tennis shoes, while there are also shoes manufactured to be suitable for specific environments such as sandals, slippers, boots, and winter shoes, and there are also shoes such as military boots and safety shoes. There are also shoes specialized for certain occupations.

In addition, there are also shoes for corrective purposes that can correct O or X legs or create straight walking habits.

For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0122152 relates to a shoe insole for walking with correct posture, and discloses an insole that includes a basic insole and a plurality of Velcro overlapping the insole, allowing the height or inclination angle of the insole to be freely adjusted. I'm doing it.

As another example, Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0052004 is a gait correction device using an angle sensor, which uses an angle sensor and Bluetooth to measure whether a saddle step or a straight step is performed, and if the step is not correct, an alarm sound or vibration is made. It suggests a method of sending.

However, the above shoes do not provide accurate standards and have many difficulties, such as difficulty in managing charge and discharge due to the use of power, difficulty in cleaning shoes, and difficulty in correction.

The present invention provides a shoe product that can induce straight gait correction and that can help children correct themselves without any explanation through intuitive use.

The present invention provides a shoe product that can consistently induce straight walking through continuous step correction.

The present invention provides a shoe product that has no problems with minor breakdowns during cleaning, etc., without the hassle of using a power source.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described objectives of the present invention, a shoe article including a sole portion and an upper may be provided as a left and right pair, and straight guides facing each other on the inner side may be provided. You can. The wearer can walk while wearing the shoe while keeping the straight guides parallel. For this purpose, the straight guide should be spaced apart from the inner side of the shoe article so that it is visible from the top.

The straight guide is a structure spaced inward from the shoe article, that is, the upper or sole portion, and may itself be a structure that appears as a straight line parallel to the walking direction from the top. The straight guide may be formed in a curved shape on the side, but may appear substantially straight from the wearer's perspective, that is, when viewed from the top.

A straight guide may be formed on the sole portion. Specifically, the sole portion may include a midsole and an outsole, and the straight guide may be formed by extending a portion of the outsole to the inside of the shoe article to form a straight guide to the inside of the shoe article, and the shoe article on the opposite side may also be the same. , a straight guide can be formed toward the inside facing in a similar form.

The straight guide may be formed not only on the outsole but also on the midsole. For this purpose, the straight guide may be formed by extending a portion of the midsole to the inside of the shoe product.

The straight guide may be formed integrally with the outsole or midsole, but may be provided with a separate, removable guide portion. The guide portion may include structures such as protrusions to be detachably mounted on the inside of the sole portion, and grooves or holes for engaging the protrusions may be formed in the sole portion.

The present invention is a shoe article for encouraging straight walking, and the wearer can learn to walk straight as a habit by keeping the straight guides parallel while wearing the shoe article.

Even toddlers who have started walking can consciously learn to walk straight through a straight guide, and adults can also develop the habit of walking straight by consciously aligning the straight guide to parallel.

When a removable structure such as a guide unit is used, the use of regular shoes and corrective shoes can be switched.

Compared to the prior art using an angle sensor or a gyro sensor, the present invention does not require the inconvenience of using a power source and can even prevent bad habits from becoming entrenched due to sensor failure.

In this embodiment, the front portion of the outsole 130 may be shaped like a rectangle, and a straight guide 132 may be formed on the inner side. Here, the straight guide 132 may refer to the inner cross section of the outsole 130. As shown in (b) of Figure 1, the outsole 130 has a curved shape on the side, but as shown in (a) of Figure 1, the straight guide 132 on the inside of the outsole 130 appears straight when viewed from the top. You can.

As shown in Figure 2, shoe items may be provided as a left and right pair, and the straight guides 132 may face each other. The wearer can get into the habit of walking straight by consciously walking so that the straight guides 132 are parallel to each other.

For this purpose, it may be desirable for the straight guide 132 to be spaced apart from the inner side of the shoe article, that is, the inner side of the upper 110, so that the straight line I is visible from the top. This is because if the straight line I is not visible or cannot be guessed, it is impossible to check whether the straight line guide 132 is parallel while walking.

3 and 4, in the shoe article according to this embodiment, the inner border of the outsole 230 is formed longer to form the straight guide 232 longer, and only the straight guide 232 is formed as a straight line.

The straight line (I) matching the straight guide 232 can be seen from the top, and the wearer can check whether the straight guide 232 is parallel each time while walking.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, infants learning to walk or children in need of correction can learn the process of keeping the straight guide parallel in a playful way, and can naturally become accustomed to walking straight.

Figure 6 is a diagram for explaining a case where a straight guide is formed on the outsole and a case where a straight guide is formed on the midsole of a shoe product according to an embodiment of the present invention.
