A toe cover according to the present invention, for the purpose of accomplishing the above object, is technically characterized by comprising: a first insertion portion, in which a plurality of toes, including the big toe, are inserted together, and which has elasticity such that the inserted toes are forced against each other; and a foot cover portion, which is connected to the first insertion portion, and which encloses the instep and the sole.

Description

Functional toe cover

The present invention relates to a toe cover for reinforcing the support capacity of the big toe to support the load of the body during walking or exercise, in particular to wrap the big toe and index toe to strengthen the support of the index toe to the support of the existing big toe It is configured to be possible.

Usually wear socks to protect your feet.

Traditionally, socks were woven from thread or fiber to be worn on bare feet. They were worn to prevent foot damage by reducing friction between shoes and feet.

Recently, as various industrial fields and leisure cultures are developed and distributed, socks have also been developed to have a function corresponding to the needs of the wearer.

On the other hand, the load is alternately transferred to the left and right feet while the human is walking or exercising.

Looking at the walking process in detail, as shown in Figure 1, the first step of the heel 3 of the foot (1) in contact with the ground first, and then the second step of the load is uniformly distributed throughout the sole of the foot and transmitted to the ground And, before going off the ground, go through three stages where the load is concentrated on the big toe (1a). After that, the foot 1 falls off the ground and walks while repeating this process.

In the first stage, the load transmitted to the heel is supported by the strong calf forming the heel and the tibia of the calf located at the upper part of the calf. In the second stage, a large crowd is generated on the skeletal structure of the foot as the weight is distributed throughout the sole of the foot. In step 3, the weight is concentrated on the big toe, so the load is concentrated on the phalanges and metatarsals of the big toe.

In particular, greater loads are concentrated during the course of violent operation to create an impact than when walking. For example, when a server is inserted during a tennis game, the weight and kinetic energy loads are concentrated on one big toe, and the soccer and soccer energy is concentrated on one big toe even when the ball is kicked hard. It can also be found in a variety of sporting events, including ballet and golf.

In this way, if the load is continuously applied to the big toe, it may be caused by a disease in the big toe area, and when the big toe is not fully supported when the momentary kinetic energy is applied, the load is applied to the outside of the foot (outside both feet). Can fall down and fracture.
