Embodiment 1）

[0046] figure 1 5(B) is a diagram for explaining the structure of the shoe upper according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and in these drawings, the same symbols indicate the same or corresponding parts.

[0047] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the shoe 1 includes a sole 2 and a shoe upper (shoe upper body) 3 , the shoe upper 3 is arranged on the shoe sole 2 , and the lower part is affixed to the shoe sole 2 to cover the foot P of the wearer. In addition, a reinforcing member 10 is provided at the lower portion of the shoe upper 3 from the heel portion to the sole portion of the shoe 1 . In addition, in figure 1 In the drawing, reference numeral 12 denotes a tongue portion, and reference numeral 13 denotes a shoelace.

[0048] The shoe upper 3 is made of, for example, a stretchable material such as a mesh material. In addition, the shoe upper 3 may be made of a stretchable material containing elastic fibers such as spandex. Here, spandex is an...

Embodiment 2）

[0073] In the first embodiment described above, an example in which five crimping portions 41 to 45 are provided as the crimping portions constituting the toe crimping member 4 was shown, but the application of the present invention is not limited thereto. As the crimping part, for example, only one crimping part arranged at a position corresponding to the first toe of the foot, two crimping parts arranged at positions corresponding to the first toe and the second toe, or two crimping parts arranged at positions corresponding to the first toe and the second toe may be used. Three crimping parts at positions corresponding to the first toe to the third toe, or four crimping parts arranged at positions corresponding to the first toe to the fourth toe. In addition, as an example of the toe where the crimping part is arranged, it is not limited to the above example.

[0074] In any of the above cases, the wearer can feel the dorsiflexion movement of the foot and toes using the toes...

Embodiment 3）

[0076] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the toe crimping member 4 is shown to be composed of five crimping parts 41 to 45 arranged at positions corresponding to the toes of the feet and connecting adjacent crimping parts to form a connecting part. 40, but the application of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to omit the connection part, so that the crimping parts 41-45 are provided separately from each other.

[0077] In this case, each crimping portion 41 to 45 constituting the toe crimping member 4 is surrounded by the stretchable shoe upper 3 so that when the toes come into contact with the shoe upper 3 when the foot is dorsiflexed, each toe The shoe upper 3 around the crimping portions 41 to 45 can be stretched independently, and as a result, the dorsiflexion movement of each toe can be further promoted.

Abstract

Provided is an upper structure whereby a shoe wearer can be made aware of the dorsiflexion action of the foot without there being any restraint on the dorsiflexion movement of the foot. This upper structure for a shoe (1) is provided with an upper body (3) for covering at least the toe part of the foot of a wearer, the upper body comprising a stretchable material; and a toe-pressing member (4) for pressing against the toes from above when the toes come into contact with the upper body (3) during dorsiflexion of the foot, the toe-pressing member being provided at a position corresponding to the toes of the foot within the upper body (3) and comprising a non-stretchable material, and the outer periphery of the toe-pressing member being enclosed by the upper body (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a shoe upper structure, and more specifically, to an improvement of a structure for allowing a shoe wearer to feel a dorsiflexion of the foot. Background technique [0002] Generally, when a person walks barefoot, the person walks by alternately performing a plantarflexion motion and a dorsiflexion motion of the foot. However, when the shoes are worn, the degree of freedom of the feet is limited by the upper and the sole of the shoes, so plantarflexion and dorsiflexion movements from the script are affected. [0003] Therefore, it is often said that the activities of the feet and toes of modern people who are accustomed to life in shoes are declining. A representative example of this is a symptom called floating toe (the state where the tip of the toe is floating without touching the ground). [0004] On the other hand, the elderly are not good at plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of the feet, so they often trip over st...
