Abstract

An orthopedic sandal comprises a sole and six mounted straps. Made of rubber that generates high friction, the straps pass through the edge of the sole to create 12 one to three centimeter-long extensions underneath the sole. The 12 extensions generate extra friction when the sandal contacts with the ground. The sole consists of an outer layer and an inner layer. Made of rubber mixed with nylon fibers, the outer layer has an empty inside divided sidewardly into 4 compartments. Each compartment is divided horizontally into two by a thin rubber layer. Made of soft rubber, the inner layer is a pouch divided into three compartments filled with special soft gel that has physical stability under the change of temperature and pressure. The inner layer is pre-shaped to ergonomically fit the wearer's sole and is also able to reshape to well fit the wearer's particular sole.

Description

Corrective sandals for preventing a variety of foot, ankle and spine health problems

This creation is about a corrective sandal for preventing a variety of foot, ankle and spine health problems.

Among the many types of footwear and foot care products currently on the market, a variety of corrective footwear and orthodontic appliances are dedicated to providing relief to the feet, ankles and spine to support the health of the body parts. problem. In order to alleviate the effects of pain and support, customized orthodontic footwear and orthodontic appliances need to be applied to the feet of special wearers in order to achieve ergonomics. However, customized products take a lot of time to complete. In addition, it is usually made of a low elastic material. Therefore, the above-mentioned corrective footwear and corrective equipment cannot effectively absorb the reaction force from the ground, and it is not effective to prevent the health problems of the above-mentioned body parts. Based on the above-mentioned corrective footwear and orthodontic equipment being mass-produced identical products and not customizable, conventional products are difficult to apply to the needs of special wearers for soles. Therefore, it can not effectively relieve pain and support for the feet, ankles and spine.

U.S. Patent No. 4,314,412 discloses a corrective shoe for a more conformable fit for the wearer's sole, but which is not suitable for the sole of a wearer because of the product. The product is not tailored to the specific wearer and does not have any customized services. A method and apparatus for inserting a corrective shoe into a customized mold is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,367,074, which provides a more intimate insole. However, the above-described insole process takes a lot of time. And it is made of hot ductile synthetic rubber, which has low elasticity, so it can not effectively absorb the reaction force from the ground, and can not alleviate the health problems caused by the foot, ankle joint and the spine.

It can be seen from the above that there is a need to provide a corrective footwear that not only provides relief to the feet, ankles, and spine by ergonomics that conforms to the wearer's sole, and does not require time-consuming passengers. The system can meet the needs of the sole wearer's sole. And the above creations need to be durable under different conditions of use. By providing adequate support for the foot, ankle, and spine, the creation of the corrective shoes can prevent problems caused by the above body parts, such as internal rotation of the foot, external rotation of the foot, ankle fracture, disc herniation, lordosis, and posterior spine. Convex and other diseases.

According to the present invention, the type of corrective shoe is a corrective sandal comprising a sole and a plurality of fastening straps for securing a wearer's foot to the sole. The correcting sandal includes six different straps, four straps for fixing the front end of the foot to the sole of the shoe, and the other two straps for fixing the ankle joint to the bottom of the shoe; the straps pass through the sole of the shoe The edges are used to create twelve extensions under the sole of the shoe, each extension having a length of approximately 1 cm (cm) to 3 cm.

The sole includes two different layer structures including: an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is made of a mixture of rubber material and nylon fiber, and due to the use of the materials, the outer layer has a plurality of special features: first, it can generate high friction force to compete with the ground to avoid slipping And to help the wearer to walk more safely in different terrains. Secondly, it can avoid the piercing of sharp objects, so the above-mentioned correcting sandals can maintain the wearer's foot safety. Third, it provides a high degree of durability to suit different situations, such as under the water, in the desert, or in the rocky area. The outer layer has an interior space from which the front end of one of the outer layers expands below the wearer's toes until one end of the outer layer corresponds to the underside of the wearer's heel. The interior space is laterally divided into four compartments by three partition elements, each having a thin rubber layer therein for separating the compartment horizontally into two sections. Because of its high elasticity, when the wearer walks, runs, and especially jumps, the thin rubber layer can absorb the reaction force from the ground and reduce the reaction force applied to the foot, ankle joint and the spine, thereby avoiding the above body parts. Hurt.

The inner layer is for contacting the wearer's foot, the inner layer being substantially a leg-shaped bag and made of a soft rubber material. The bag is separated by three spaces, the first space is located below the arch, the second space is located below the toe, and the third space is the remaining space of the bag. The bag body, that is, all of the spaces, is filled with a special soft rubber, so that the bag body has a physical stability and has a viscosity stability under temperature and pressure changes, which represents the softness of the inner layer. It will not be altered under any conditions of use, even in cold climates or in hot deserts or for wearers of different weights. The inner layer is intended to be formed into an ergonomic structure that conforms to the bottom of the wearer's foot. However, the inner layer is made of soft rubber and is filled with a special soft gel to be reshaped to withstand the weight generated by the wearer's weight to be more suitable for the wearer's particular foot bottom shape. The described features of the inner layer solve the problem that conventional orthotic footwear and orthotic devices need to be customized to conform to the wearer's foot but require a significant amount of time. Since the inner layer can be worn on the wearer's foot, it is even more capable of dispersing the force applied to the wearer's foot, preventing problems such as the internal rotation of the sole of the foot and the external rotation of the sole of the foot.

The strap is made of a rubber material to generate high friction. Therefore, the correcting sandal can firmly fix the wearer's foot. When the correcting sandal touches the ground, the twelve extensions of the strap will generate additional friction, further preventing the wearer from slipping. To more securely secure the wearer's foot, a portion of the strap for securing the wearer's foot can adjust the length of the portion of the strap by pulling or pushing the twelve extensions of the strap. In addition, the straps are replaceable, making the corrective sandals more economical with extended use.
