Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a recessed portion in the sole of the upper part of the heel of a shoe, and by inserting a cushioning material having a shape corresponding to the recessed portion, the impact applied to the heel of the wearer is reduced. The present invention relates to a shoe having a cushioning mechanism that alleviates fatigue of the entire body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various shoes having a mechanism for absorbing or mitigating impact have been provided, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 3-27254.
And Japanese Patent Application No. 4-134529.

[0003]

However, these shoes use a shock absorbing material to absorb a shock applied to the heel of a wearer, and are merely made of the material. In addition, the manufacturing and processing methods of these shoes are complicated, resulting in high cost. According to the present invention, when landing, an impact on the entire foot from the heel of the foot is gently received, and the impact is gently rebounded, whereby fatigue of the foot and body can be reduced, and a shock absorbing mechanism having a simple structure. Intended to provide shoes.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a shoe in which a heel 1 is provided on a rear lower surface of a shoe sole 2 in which an outsole 3 and an insole 4 are superposed on each other. The shoe sole 2 is provided with a recessed portion 5, and apart from this, a cushioning member 6 which is slightly smaller than the inner shape of the recessed portion 5 and is slightly higher than the recessed portion 5 and has an edge 6a around the upper end thereof is provided. It is inserted in the concave portion 5 so as to be freely fitted and removed.

[0005]

When the present invention configured as described above is actually used, it is as follows. Recessed portion 5 provided on the sole 2
When the cushioning member 6 is fitted in, the lower surface of the cushioning member 6 comes into contact with the inner bottom surface of the concave portion 5, but the peripheral side surface is provided with a gap b between the inner side surface of the concave portion 5 and is provided around the upper end portion. A gap a is formed between the edge 6a and the upper surface of the shoe sole 2.

After the cushioning member 6 is fitted in the recessed portion 5 in this manner and the insole 7 is overlaid, the foot is put in the shoe. As shown in FIG. 3, when shock or pressure is applied to the cushioning member 6 by the weight, the edge portion 6a of the cushioning member 6 is pressed against the upper surface of the shoe sole 2 so that the gap a disappears and the cushioning member 6 is depressed. The cushioning member 6 is pressed to such an extent that the gap b with the inner side surface of the cushioning member disappears, and the cushioning member 6 returns to its original shape when the impact or pressure disappears.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the central portion of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the heel, shoe sole, cushioning member, and insole of the present invention seen from the side, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cushioning member, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the shoe sole, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional example. Reference numeral A indicates the entire shoe.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a heel of a shoe, which is similar to the heel used in the past and is formed by stacking a plurality of members (leather or the like).

Reference numeral 2 is a shoe sole, and this shoe sole 2 is an outsole 3 and an insole 4.
A recessed portion 5 having a depth of about 10 mm is provided in the heel-corresponding portion, and the shoe is placed inside the sole of the stepped portion 3a between the recessed portion 5 and the middle portion of the sole 2. The bottom core 2a is embedded.

Although the recessed portion 5 does not have a specific shape, a recessed portion having a shape similar to the heel of a shoe is rational as shown in FIG.

A buffer member 6 has a shape corresponding to the concave portion 5, slightly smaller than the inner shape of the concave portion 5, and has a height slightly higher than the depth of the concave portion 5 and has an upper end. An edge portion 6a is provided around the portion. Therefore, when the cushioning member 6 is fitted into the recessed portion 5, a gap b is formed between the peripheral side surface and the inner side surface of the recessed portion 5, and the edge portion 6a circumferentially provided on the upper end portion is located between the upper surface of the shoe sole 2 and the edge portion 6a. A gap a is formed in the.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an insole, which is not particularly limited and is a generally used insole, but when the cushioning member 6 is fitted into the recessed portion 5, it slightly protrudes above the shoe sole. The edge 6a is covered so that the sole of the foot does not feel uncomfortable.

When the user wears the shoe of the present invention constructed as described above and walks, as shown in FIG. 3, when impact or compression due to the weight is applied to the heel portion of the foot, the edge portion of the cushioning member 6 is applied. 6
The a is pressed against the upper surface of the shoe sole 2 to eliminate the gap, and the cushioning member 6 is pressed to the extent that there is no gap with the inner surface of the recess 5.

However, when the impact or the pressure due to the weight is eliminated, that is, the heel portion 1 of the shoe is lifted, the cushioning member 6 returns to its original shape. Since the cushioning material 6 uses a latex sponge, it is known that the cushioning material 6 is excellent in cushioning property, and in particular, it is excellent in alleviating the impact transmitted from the heel to the knee and the waist. Further, the cushioning member 6 includes a hard latex type sponge and a soft latex type sponge, and can be made in accordance with the constitution of the person who uses it, illness, injury or the like.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when a person wears shoes and walks, the impact on the heel of the shoe is alleviated by the cushioning member and the gap between the cushioning member and the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion,
Furthermore, it has the feature that it does not feel tired even when walking for a long time in order to reduce such impacts on the knees and waist. In addition, it is effective in alleviating various symptoms (headache, shoulder stiffness, malaise) caused by the impact of the heel being transmitted to the brain. As the cushioning member, a hard latex type sponge or a soft latex type sponge is manufactured in advance so that a cushioning member suitable for each person can be selected according to the constitution, physique, and health condition of the person using the sponge. . Further, since the cushioning member is provided so as to be freely fitted and removed, it can be easily replaced if necessary.
