Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an athletic shoe and a heel hold part having a heel hold part which covers a heel part and allows easy attachment / detachment of the athletic shoe and adjustment of a holding property.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional sports shoes, the heel portion is integrated with the shoe body, and the tightening strength cannot be adjusted. Therefore, the heel portion was not loosened, and it was not possible to easily attach / detach and obtain the tightening according to preference. Further, in the conventional sports shoes, it is necessary to tie the cords when wearing them and to loosen the cords when taking them off, which takes time and effort. For example, since it is uncomfortable when the feet are stuffy when taking a rest, loosening the shoelaces or taking off the shoes eliminates the discomfort, but it takes time and effort. Further, in the conventional sports shoes, as shown in FIG. 7, it was impossible to adjust the holding / fitting properties of the heel or change the size. Especially,
The fit of the athletic shoe near the Achilles tendon was poor, and the space as shown by S in FIG. 7 could not be adjusted.

[0003]

The invention of the present application solves these problems of conventional sports shoes, and
An object of the present invention is to provide an athletic shoe having a heel holding part that is equipped with a quick attachment / detachment mechanism and is capable of adjusting the holding / fitting properties of the heel and further adjusting the feeling of size to some extent.

The upper part of the heel hold part 6 may be tightened to the shoe main body 5, but it is preferable to tighten the fixing part 10 such as a velcro or a clasp. In particular, it is preferable to use a fastening member 8, for example, a belt, so that the heel holding part 6 is held so as to be restrained from the rear side. This heel hold part is pressed by the fastening member 8 to improve the fit of the user.
In the shoe of the invention of this application, as shown in FIG. 6, since the heel halt parts 6 come into close contact with each other from the heel to the Achilles tendon, the fit is remarkably improved. The difference in this effect is clear when comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 7 showing the conventional example.

The fastening member 8 can be adjusted in length by passing the fixing member 10 and desired tightening can be obtained. The fastening member 8 may be fixed by simply folding it back at the fixing tool 10 and fixing it with a velcro, but it is preferable that the fixing tool 10 itself has a fixing ability. The fastening member 8 may be attached to the shoe main body portion 5, may be attached to the heel holding part 6, or may be a separate body.

Materials for forming the heel hold parts 6 include urethane type, ester type, amide type, styrene type,
Olefin-based, vinyl chloride-based thermoplastic elastomers, 11
Amide resins such as nylon and 6.6 nylon, olefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, ABS,
Styrene resins such as AES, ester resins such as polycarbomate and polyethylene terephthalate, and ether resins such as polyacetal are used, but thermoplastic resins are preferable, and nylon is particularly preferable.

As the material for forming the heel counter 9, various fibers, leather board, natural material impregnated with polyurethane resin, urethane type, ester type, amide type, styrene type, olefin type, vinyl chloride type heat Plastic elastomers, amide resins such as 11 nylon and 6.6 nylon, olefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, styrene resins such as ABS and AES, ester resins such as polycarbomate and polyethylene terephthalate, ethers such as polyacetal Although a system resin is used, a thermoplastic resin is preferable, and nylon is particularly preferable. As a rubber material, high styrene type S
BR-based elastomers, polynorbornene-based elastomers, urethane-based rubbers, burch rubbers and the like are used, high styrene-based SBR-based elastomers are preferred, and high-styrene rubbers are particularly preferred.
