Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to a shoe having a high heel with a heel shape that looks like a normal men's shoe.

(Prior Art) Men and women may want to look taller. Women's high heels can be made taller, but women's high heels have a downwardly tapered heel. Even if the heel of such a women's high-heeled shoe is used as it is, a shoe having a high height is manufactured, and the shape of the heel is significantly different from that of a flat plate like a general men's shoe. It is unlikely to be accepted as a shoe that addresses the concerns of short, embarrassed men.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a state in which conventional shoes are worn.
The upper 2 includes the upper 2, the sole 126, and the heel 125, and the skeleton 10 of the foot.
1 is held in a shoe 103 with a slight fleshy portion 102 therebetween. The actually effective height H (height to the heel support portion 5) is measured by a vertical line ZZ that passes directly below the calcaneus. With a shoe having a conventional structure, this height cannot be increased so much. FIG. 5 shows a human skeleton standing on a level ground. As an example, the inclination angle α of the calcaneus axis 104 with respect to the knee axis XX is 14
The horizontal distance d is 17 mm.

If only the heel is raised and the calcaneus end is raised by 60 mm, the inclination angle β of the calcaneus axis 104 with respect to the knee axis XX is 38 degrees and the horizontal distance D is 44 mm as shown in FIG. Become. In this way, the position of the calcaneus axis 104 with respect to the knee axis XX retreats, which makes walking difficult. That is, in a normal low-heel shoe, the distance between the rear end portion 105 of the heel and the knee bone axis XX is small as shown in FIG. 7, but in a high-heel shoe as shown in FIG. Rear end 105
And the knee axis X-X become large, which causes a large tensile force on the muscle 108 at the time of contact with the ground during walking. As a result, as shown in FIG.
A bending force is generated in the direction of, and the knee bends in a knee shape as shown in FIG. 10, and the knee joint 106 is disengaged from the knee axis XX. This phenomenon is repeated step by step, abnormally pulling muscles and causing lesions in the knee joint.

As a means for preventing such pain, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, it is necessary to position the rear end 9 of the ground contact surface of the heel so as to be advanced by a relief dimension E from the rear end of the shoe body.
However, this is a form that the appearance is exclusively for women and men dislike.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate such conventional drawbacks, and provides a shoe having a heel shape that looks like a normal men's shoe, and has a structure that makes walking easy and shows a high height. That is the purpose.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a shoe including an upper, a shoe sole, and a heel portion, the bottom surface of the heel portion extending flat to the rear end of the shoe, and the shoe being made of a material that does not substantially deform. A retaining member is arranged in a position supporting the heel of the person in the inner rear region of the shoe, and the heel portion includes a rear end region portion made of an elastically deformable material and a heel body portion made of a substantially non-deformable material in front of the heel portion. The boundary between the rear end region and the heel body is set at a position where the forward leaning phenomenon does not occur at the start of the sole landing during walking.

(Operation) In the above configuration, since the heel is supported by the holding member and the heel portion arranged in the inner rear region of the shoe, the person's height becomes high, and the bottom surface of the heel portion extends flat to the rear end of the shoe. Because it is formed, the appearance is the same as normal men's shoes, and the heel body on the front side of the rear end area receives the reaction force from the ground. The phenomenon does not occur, and thus it is possible to walk easily.

(Embodiment) In FIG. 1, a shoe 12 is made of leather, rubber, synthetic resin or the like, alone or in combination. The shoe 12 is composed of an upper 2, a shoe sole 1, and a heel portion 3, and a bottom surface of the heel portion is formed so as to extend evenly to a rear end of the shoe, and a holding member 19 made of a material which is not substantially deformed is provided in an inner rear region of the shoe. It is placed in a position to support the heel of a person. The heel portion 3 is composed of a rear end region portion (elastically deformable portion) 8 made of an elastically deformable material and a heel main body portion 7 made of a material that is not substantially deformed on the front side thereof. A boundary portion 9 with the heel main body portion 7 is set at a position where the forward leaning phenomenon does not occur at the start of the sole landing during walking. A large number of voids 13 are formed in the sole 1 to reduce the weight. The heel stepping surface 5 which is the upper surface of the holding member 19 may be set to a desired height by appropriately setting the height H from the ground to the height of the holding member 19 and the heel portion 3.

A boundary portion 9 with the heel main body portion 7 (a rear end portion of the lower surface of the heel main body portion 7) is displaced forward by a relief dimension E (40 mm in this embodiment) from the rear end of the shoe. In addition, the lower surface of the heel body portion 7 is configured such that the center portion in the width direction is recessed so that only both side portions are grounded. The rear region portion 8 is made of a soft elastic material so that it can be easily deformed by the stepping force during walking, and a void 14 is formed to facilitate the deformation. As the soft elastic material, it is preferable to use a material having both elastic deformability and wear resistance, such as urethane resin. The lower surface 16 of the rear region is formed so as to escape rearward by an angle θ (for example, 10 degrees). The rear region 8 may also have a lower surface 16 or may have a bottomless skirt-like structure. Further, the void 14 may be filled with a sponge-like filler. The space between the tip portion 15 of the instep 2 and the fingertip C of the foot B may be filled with a padding.

When wearing the above shoes, the high heel portion 3 and the holding member 19 inside the shoes
Makes the person taller. If you try to increase the height only by the heel portion 3 without providing the holding member 19, the height of the heel portion 3 is conspicuous in appearance, but since the heel is also lifted by the holding member 19 that cannot be seen from the outside, The appearance is not very conspicuous and can make you look taller.
When the person wears the shoes and walks, first, as shown in the sectional shape of FIG. 2 and the side shape of FIG.
Is compressed from the rear end side in contact with the ground GG, and is compressed until the boundary portion 9 at the rear end of the heel body 7 comes into contact with the ground as shown in the figure. Then, when the boundary portion 9 comes into contact with the ground, a reaction force from the ground GG acts, but since this point of action is close to the knee bone axis XX as shown in FIG. 3, the force bending in the direction of the broken line arrow is very large. small. That is, the forward leaning phenomenon does not occur at the start of landing on the bottom of the shoe for the number of walks.

Then, when the weight of the person moves forward and the front side of the shoe sole comes into contact with the ground, the compression-deformed portion of the rear end region portion 8 elastically returns to its original shape. Hereinafter, the same operation is repeated.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, since the heel is supported by the holding member and the heel portion arranged in the inner rear region of the shoe, the person's back becomes taller and the bottom surface of the heel portion becomes higher. Because it is formed to extend evenly to the rear end of the shoe, the appearance is the same as ordinary men's shoes, and since the heel body on the front side of the rear end region receives the reaction force from the ground,
When the user starts walking, the phenomenon of forward leaning does not occur at the start of the shoe sole landing, and therefore the user can easily walk.
