Returning to FIG. 3, in order to realize the adjustable partition 2, the upper surface 11 of the sole 10 may be provided with a rail 4, so that the partition 2 is disposed in the rail 4 and moves along the rail 4. FIG. 3 shows that the separator 2 includes two brackets 20 respectively inserted into two rails 4, and the above numbers are only examples. In order to provide a more comfortable touch for the user's footsteps and facilitate the user's walking, the rail 4 can be recessed from the upper surface 11 of the sole 10 into the sole 10 so that the uppermost edge of the rail 4 is flush with the upper surface 11 of the sole 10 .

The user can determine the position of the separator 2 on the rail 4 according to the degree of hallux valgus. If the valgus of the thumb is relatively slight, the separator 2 can be close to the position of the remaining four toes; if the valgus of the thumb is severe, the separator 2 can be far from the position of the other four toes. The user can adjust the position of the separator 2 on the track 4 according to his own needs.

FIG. 5 shows the fixing method of the separator 2 of the hallux valgus correction shoe 1 according to another embodiment of the present creation.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, in order to fix the separator 2 in a desired position, the rail 4 may have a plurality of engaging grooves 41, and the separator 2 may have an engaging member 21 suitable for fixing to the engaging One of the slots 41. The engaging member 21 is preferably formed integrally with the separator 2, but it is not limited thereto.

Specifically, the engaging piece 21 of the separator 2 may be a convex block to be engaged in one of the engaging grooves 41. If the bump (or the entire separator 2) is made of a hard material, the bump may be formed as a semi-cylindrical body, a semi-spherical body, or a cylindrical or spherical body with a curved corner so as to slide into or out of the engaging groove 41. By designing the shape of the engaging groove 41, the force required for the protrusion to slide out of the engaging groove 41 is greater than the force required for the protrusion to slide into the engaging groove 41, so as to ensure the stability of the engagement.

If the bump (or the entire separator 2) is a soft material, for example, rubber, silicone, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyethylene (PE), etc., the bump can be formed as a square column or a corner column, but also It can form a semi-cylindrical body, a semi-spherical body, or a cylindrical or spherical body with a curved corner. Soft material bumps can be expanded and contracted. If you want to snap the projection into another engagement slot 41, you can force the projection (usually accompanied by compression) to slide the projection out of the engagement slot 41; then, move the separator 2 to another engagement Groove 41; After the projection slides into another engaging groove 41, it will expand naturally and become stuck.

On the other hand, the engaging groove 41 is not limited to the U-shape, and can also be interpreted as including the engaging hole. In this case, the rail 4 is not completely recessed under the upper surface 11 of the sole 10, but has a rail wall located on the upper surface 11 of the sole 10, and the engaging hole is opened in the rail wall. When the engaging member 21 of the soft material is engaged into the engaging hole, the engaging member 21 can be forced to squeeze through the engaging hole to be exposed to the outside of the rail 4 and expand naturally to be engaged in the engaging hole . If you want to snap the engaging piece 21 into another engaging hole, you can apply force to squeeze the card The engaging piece 21 passes through the engaging hole and returns to the rail 4; then, the separator 2 is moved to another engaging hole, and then engaged in the same way.

FIG. 6 shows a fixing method of the separator 2 of the hallux valgus corrective shoe 1 according to still another embodiment of the present invention (for convenience of perspective, only a part of which is drawn and shown as a dotted line).

In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the engaging piece 21 of the separator 2 can be switched between a raised state or an engaged state by toggling. If it is lifted and separated from the engaging groove 41, the separator 2 That is, it can move on the rail 4; if it is in an engaged state and is inserted into the engaging groove 41, the separator 2 is fixed at a desired position on the rail 4.

When the user walks, his toe may collide with the separator 2, but the toe exerts a horizontal force on the separator 2, so that the lifting state or the engaged state of the engaging member 21 is not switched without being toggled. This affects the fixing of the separator 2 on the rail 4. In this way, the present creation provides another way of fixing the partition 2.

In addition, in the embodiment not shown in the drawings, the engaging member 21 of the partition 2 may be a tether, and the tether may pass through the engaging hole of the rail wall of the rail 4 and be bound to the rail wall. In this way, this creation provides yet another way of fixing the partition 2.

FIG. 7 shows a partially enlarged view of the hallux valgus correction shoe 1 according to yet another embodiment of the present creation.

As shown in FIG. 7, in addition to the rail 4 provided on the sole 10, the sling 3 can also be provided with an auxiliary rail 5, so that the separator 2 is provided between the rail 4 and the auxiliary rail 5 to follow the rail 4 and the auxiliary Orbit 5 to move. In this way, the separator 2 can be more easily kept in place, not displaced by the toes of the toes, nor easily damaged or dropped. In addition, the auxiliary rail 5 can pass through the trip belt 3 to facilitate the user to observe or adjust the position of the partition 2.

Similarly, the auxiliary rail 5 may also have a plurality of auxiliary engaging grooves 51, and the separator 2 has an auxiliary engaging member, which is suitable for being fixed to one of the auxiliary engaging grooves 51. With regard to the engagement between the auxiliary engagement groove 51 and the auxiliary engagement piece, reference may be made to or follow the aforementioned engagement with the engagement groove 41 and the engagement piece 21, and the required components, which will not be repeated here.

Accordingly, the hallux valgus correction shoe 1 of the present invention can correct the hallux valgus symptoms through the separator 2. Furthermore, the separator 2 of the present invention can be adjustable to adjust the force of pulling the big toe according to the severity of the symptoms. In particular, the adjustable separator 2 can be suitable for users with different foot shapes, and can be manufactured as a general-purpose product. In addition, the hallux valgus orthopedic shoe 1 of this creation is easy to manufacture and repair, and has cost advantages.
