Description

TYPE LEATHER SANDAL LEATHER OR STRAP FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sandal, and in particular, to a leather-type sandal or belt in which the belt is present between the big toe and the second toe.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 generally illustrates a leather strap or conventional strap sandal where the reference number 1 represents a sole, 2 denotes a belt body, 3 denotes a belt fixing or positioning device, and the reference number 4 indicates the ends of the strap. The fixing or positioning device of the belt 3 is fixed to the sole 1 by means of a rivet 5 and both ends 4 of the belt are also fixed to the sole 1, for example, by connection or connection by thermocompression. The sandal is used in such a way that the foot is inserted between the sole 1 and the belt body 2 so that the device is placed REF: 25255 fixation or fixed part 3 of the strap between the big toe and the second toe. A sandal can be worn easily, and since only a small part of the foot makes contact with the sandali, except for the sole of a foot, the person can use it with a feeling of almost being on their bare feet. It is well known that such sandals made of urethane are suitable for use in the hot sand of a summer beach. However, the sandal described above has a construction such that the foot is fixed to the sole 1 only in the fixation device or fixed piece 3 of the strap between the big toe and the second toe. Therefore, when a person using the sandals is walking, his feet frequently deviate from the proper position on the sole 1 or slip quickly from the sole 1. In the sandal described above, the deviation or slip is anticipated by the portions of the end belts 4 which are fixed on either side of the sole 1. However, since the sandal is used in such a way that the instep of a foot is inserted between the sole 1 and the body of the belt 2 from the back or side, it is required that the body of the belt 2 be fixed to the sole 1 in a loose or unlaced condition. Because of the loose or untied condition, slippage occurs when walking. Therefore, it is difficult to fit such a sandal while participating in sports such as beach volleyball or running. It is also dangerous to walk in rocky places or on mountainous roads with sandals. Furthermore, in this sandal, because the toes are fixed to the sole 1 only by the fixation device or fixed part 3 of the strap, foot fatigue occurs for the person who puts on the sandals for a Long period For sports, such as beach volleyball or beach races, another type of sandal, a so-called sports sandal, is generally used, which includes additional straps to fix the heel and / or ankle. It has been difficult to fix the sandal to the foot because not only the fingers, but also the heels and / or the ankles should be fixed with straps.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new leather-type sandal or strap in which the foot is fixed well to the sole of the sandal without rotational slippage or misalignment of the foot on the sole. The person who fits the sandal can participate in sports, such as beach volleyball, racing, etc., with less foot fatigue after prolonged use. In addition, the hallux valgus of the foot, flat feet, and athlete's foot can be prevented due to the construction of the sandal. In one form of the invention, a leather-type sandal or straps sandal comprises a sole, and at least one strap body attached to the sole of the sandal to at least four sites or locations, such that the strap is placed or Position between a big toe and an adjacent finger and between a small finger and the adjacent finger when a user's foot is inserted between the body of the strap and the sole. Since the user's foot is fixed to the sole of the sandal at two points, that is, a first location or site between the big toe and the adjacent finger and a second location or site between the small finger and the adjacent finger , the sole of the user's foot does not slip or deviate from the sole.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 generally illustrates a sandal of conventional leather or strap type; Figure 2 is a plan view of a leather-type sandal or straps sandal that embodies the invention; Figure 3 is a plan view of an alternate embodiment of a leather-type sandal or belts of the invention; and Figure 4 is a plan view of a third embodiment of the leather or strap type sandal that embodies the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES With reference to Figure 2, it should be noted that only one sandal of a symmetrical pair is shown. The second sandal of a pair will substantially be a mirror image of that shown here. The leather-type sandal or strap 10 (FIG. 2) which gives the invention includes a sole 11 and a single belt body 12 which has a first small tab or strip 13a, a second tab or small strip 13b, and belt ends 14 and 16. The first tab or small strip 13a is fixed to the sole 11 by means of a rivet 15a in a position where a space or gap exists between the big toe and the adjacent finger when the foot is inserted between the strap body 12 and the sole 11. The second tongue or small strip 13b is fixed to the sole 11 by means of a rivet 15b in a position wherein a space or gap between the small finger and the adjacent finger exists when the foot is inserted between the strap body 12 and the sole 11. The ends of the strap 14, 16 are connected to opposite longitudinal sides of the sole 11, of man it was preferred by thermocompression bonding. In the study, the spaces between the fingers, in general the space or interstice between the big toe and the adjacent finger and the space or interstice between the small finger and the adjacent finger are curved comparatively speaking, slightly more than the spaces or interstices between the second and third toes and between the third and fourth toes. It has been demonstrated by the inventor's experiments that the second tab or small strip 13b does not cause any pain or discomfort between the small finger and the adjacent finger and the user becomes comfortable with the sandal in a relatively short period of time. In addition, the second attachment device of the strap or tab 13b stimulates the space or gap between the small finger and the adjacent finger such that the stimulation works massage an effective point or place on the foot. The inventor's experiments additionally show that a foot can be fixed to the sole by only fixing the spaces between the big toe and the adjacent finger and between the little finger and the adjacent finger, because of the distance between the points The fixation is sufficient to fix the portion of the toe of a foot to the sole 11. The fixation is such that a user can walk or run on the sandals without any deviation or slippage of the foot on the sole 11. Consequently, it becomes It is possible for a person to walk or run while wearing a leather-strap or strap-type sandal and can be used for walking on rocky terrain, in mountains or in water, or when participating in sports activities, such as beach volleyball. The load applied to the toes and calves of each foot is markedly reduced compared to conventional leather or strap-type sandals, so that fatigue on the feet can be reduced even if the wearer wears sandals for a long time . In addition, deformation of the toes, which is usually caused by tight shoes, can be prevented because the little toe of each foot extends outwardly. As a result, hallus valgus, flat plant of the feet, and athlete's foot can be prevented. Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the leather-strap or strap type sandal. It should be noted that in these last modalities, the same reference numbers are used for the same elements as those of the first modality. In the second embodiment, the leather-type or strap-type sandal 10 comprises a first and a second belt 12a and 12b, respectively, each having a fixing device or fixed part of the belt 13a, 13b, and one end of the belt. belt 14a, 14b. First and second belt fastening devices 13a and 13b are fixed to the sole 11 by means of rivets 15a and 15b, while the belt ends 14a and 14b are fixed close to the longitudinally opposite sides of the sole 11. The first The belt body 12a is crossed over the belt body 12b at a point above the instep of a user's foot. In the second embodiment, since the belt bodies 12a and 12b cross each other, the user's foot is supported in a well-adjusted or appropriate manner. Figure 4 still illustrates another embodiment of the new leather-type sandal or strap 10. According to this embodiment, the crossing portion 16 of the belt body 12a and the second belt body 12b are connected to each other by means of, for example, synthetic paste. It should be noted that the means for connecting the first and second belts 12a and 12b are not limited to synthetic adhesive, but include among other mechanical, threaded, thin fasteners, such as bolts. The present invention is not only limited to the different embodiments described above, but also several modifications are to be considered. For example, any material that can be suitably used to manufacture the sole 11 and the straps 12, 12a, and 12b can be used in the manufacture of the sandal of the invention. In addition, provision is made to provide another strap to support the ankle. Additionally, it is also contemplated to provide relatively small projections on the sole surface 11 not only to prevent rotational or translational slippage of the foot on the sole, but also to provide comfortable stimulation to the sole of the foot. As described above, the user's toe portion is fixed with respect to the sole of the sandal at two points, i.e., the first fastening device 13a-e the belt and the second fastening device 13b of the belt , so that the sandal is fixed to the foot, preventing misalignment and slippage between the sole of one foot and the sole of the sandal. Therefore, the sandal of this invention offers the advantages of being shod while participating in sports, such as racing, walking on a rugged road without losing the slack and comfort that were originally possessed in the shoes of conventional sandals. The above description is considered that of the preferred embodiments only. The modification of the invention will occur to those skilled in the art and to those who make and use the invention. Therefore, it is understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings and described above are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the following claims.
