Hereinafter, an adjustment means for adjusting the pressure contact force (the tightening force) of the plate-shaped member to the back of the foot will be specifically described.

The adjustment means 5 includes a fastening member 5A that extends along the tubular portion 1B to the opening side. The fastening member 5A of the present embodiment is formed in a rope shape by a fiber bundle or the like, and has an annular shape, and one end side is connected to the plate-like members 3a and 3b, and the other end side is protruded from the opening of the tubular portion 1B. Further, it is arranged to cause the tension of the plate-like members 3a, 3b by the stretching operation thereof.

In the end portion (the end portion on the center side of the separation side) on the side opposite to the fixed side of each of the plate-like members 3a and 3b, a plurality of (four in the drawing) guide members 7 are continuously fixed in the longitudinal direction. . Each of the guide members 7 is formed with a through hole, and one end side of the fastening member 5A is inserted into the portion so as to intersect each other as shown in Fig. 1 .
