Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a shoe and more particularly, it relates to a shoe which is easily put on.
- 2. Description of the Background Art
- An easy wearable shoe is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 11-113609, for example.
- According to the shoe disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 11-113609, a heel covering part covered by an outside rear end and an inside rear end is provided at a heel part of the shoe, and a band having a fastener is provided at the outside rear end. When the band passes through a band sleeve provided at the inside rear end and it is folded, it comes to a position to be fixed by the fastener.
- The conventional shoe considering the ease of putting on is constituted as described above. The shoe can be easily put on or taken off by loosing or fastening a band.
- However, according to the above constitution, it is necessary to loose or fasten the band every time the shoe is put on or taken off, and actually it is not easy to put the shoe on.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe which can firmly hold a foot and can be easily put on or taken off.

The upper comprises a lower upper including a tongue for covering an instep, right and left side parts having a height so as to cover an anklebone and gradually reduced in height backward, and a rear part which connects the right and left side parts; and a higher upper having a height so as to cover the ankle from a position overlapping with an upper region of the lower upper, one end connected to one side part of the lower upper, a middle region partially and sequentially overlapping with the one side part, the rear part and the other side part of the lower upper, and the other end detachably connected onto the one end.
- Since the lower upper has the right and left side parts having the height so as to cover the anklebone and gradually reduced in height backward, and the rear part connecting the right and left side parts, the heel part is opened so that the foot can be easily inserted to the sole. Meanwhile, the higher upper is mounted on the lower upper so as to cover the ankle from the position in which it overlaps with an upper region of the lower upper after the foot is put on the sole.
- As a result, the shoe can be provided which firmly hold the foot and can be easily put on or taken off.
- Preferably, when the other end of the higher upper is connected to the one end, upper parts of one side part, rear part and the other side part of the higher upper overlapping with the lower upper extend upward from the other end connected to the one end.
- Further preferably, a dimension of a part in which the higher upper partially overlaps with one side part, the rear part, and the other side part of the lower upper is not less than ½ of a height of the rear part.
- Still preferably, a connection part connecting the lower upper to the higher upper is provided at a part in which the other side part of the lower upper is partially overlapped, and the connection part is provided on an external surface of the lower upper.
- Further preferably, the right and left side parts are connected by a connection band.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a shoe whose ankle holding member is developed according to one embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a view taken in the direction of arrows II-II inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a shoe whose ankle holding member is assembled; -
FIG. 4 is a view taken in the direction of arrows IV-IV inFIG. 3 ; and -
FIG. 5 is a view taken in the direction of arrows V-V inFIG. 3 . - One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanied drawings hereinafter.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a baby shoe (for a right foot) according to one embodiment of the present invention in a state before a baby puts it on.FIG. 2 is a view taken in the direction of the arrows II-II inFIG. 1 . A shoe for a left foot has the same constitution. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , ababy shoe 10 comprises a sole 11 on which a baby foot is put, and an upper which is connected from the sole 11 and positioned above the sole. - The upper comprises a lower upper 12 and a higher upper 20. The lower upper 12 includes a tongue (instep part) 13 which covers an instep of the baby, right and
left side parts rear part 17 which connects the right andleft side parts FIG. 2 , the right andleft side parts FIG. 2 ) when the foot of the baby is placed on the sole. - A hook and
loop fastener 33 which is connected to a hook andloop fastener 31 provided in aheel holding part 22 is provided in the heel direction on theleft side part 14 b, as will be described below. - Every hook and loop fastener is provided on an outside (surface) of its mounted surface in the
baby shoe 10. - A
connection band 15 is provided at a toe to detachably connect the right andleft side parts - According to the baby shoe in this embodiment, since a heel part of the lower upper 12 can be widely opened, the baby can easily put on the
shoe 10. - The higher upper 20 is mounted on a
mounting part 16 in theright side part 14 a of the shoe and extends outside therefrom. The higher upper 20 includes anankle holding part 21 which covers the right and left sides of the foot and the heel to hold the ankle, and afixing part 27 provided continuously from theankle holding part 21 to fix itsend part 28 to theshoe 10 in order to hold the ankle by theankle holding part 21. - The
ankle holding part 21 has a height covering from a position overlapping with an upper region of the lower upper 12 to the ankle, and it partially overlaps with the upper portion ofright side part 14 a, therear part 17, and theleft side part 14 b in this order from themounting part 16. - The
end part 28 of thefixing part 27 has a hook andloop fastener 32 and thisfastener 32 is detachably connected to a hook andloop fastener 34 provided on the opposite side of the illustrated surface as shown by a dotted line inFIG. 1 in the vicinity of themounting part 16 of the higher upper 20. - The
