A straight guide can be provided. The wearer can walk while wearing the shoe while keeping the straight guides parallel. For this purpose, the straight guide should be spaced apart from the inner side of the shoe article so that it is visible from the top. The straight guide is a structure spaced inward from the shoe product, that is, the upper or sole, and may itself be a straight line drawn from the top parallel to the walking direction. The straight guide may be formed into a curved shape on the side, but may appear substantially straight from the wearer's perspective, that is, when viewed from above. A straight guide may be formed on the sole. Specifically, the sole portion may include a midsole and an outsole, and the straight guide may be formed by extending a portion of the outsole toward the inside of the shoe article to form a straight guide toward the inside of the shoe article, and the straight guide may form a straight guide toward the inside of the shoe article. Shoe products can also form straight guides on the inside facing each other in the same or similar form. The straight guide may be formed not only on the outsole but also on the midsole. For this purpose, the straight guide may be formed by extending a portion of the midsole to the inside of the shoe product. The straight guide may be formed integrally with the outsole or midsole, but may be provided with a separate, removable guide portion. The guide portion may include structures such as protrusions to be detachably mounted on the inside of the sole portion, and grooves or holes for engaging the protrusions may be formed in the sole portion.

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention is a shoe product for inducing straight walking, and the wearer can learn to walk straight as a habit by keeping the straight guides parallel while wearing the shoe product. Even toddlers who have just started walking can consciously learn to walk straight through a straight guide, and adults can also develop the habit of walking straight by consciously aligning the straight guide with parallel directions. When a removable structure such as a guide unit is used, the use of regular shoes and corrective shoes can be switched. Compared to conventional technologies using angle sensors or gyro sensors, the present invention does not require the inconvenience of using a power source, and can even prevent bad habits from becoming entrenched due to sensor failure.
