Benefits of technology

[0007]Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a functional footwear which comprises an insole having a toe-seating portion formed at the front portion thereof for allowing a user's toe to be seated thereon so as to remove dangers occurring when backward walking, so that an effect of the backward walking can be obtained while forward walking.

Problems solved by technology

Further, when the user walks backwardly at the same velocity as that in forward walking, the backward walking has a greater calorie consumption than that in the forward walking.
Nevertheless, since a person who walks backwardly has a danger of collision or stumbling against another walker, the backward walking is relatively not widely performed as compared to the forward walking.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in detail with reference to the appended drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the use state of a conventional functional footwear, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a functional footwear according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the use state of a functional footwear according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0017]As shown in FIG. 2, a functional footwear 10 of the present invention mainly comprises an outsole 14 for supporting the sole of a user's foot, an upper 12 for covering a user's foot, and an insole 20 inserted into the inside of the footwear 10. Preferably, the insole 20 is separated and washed when being dirty, and separately mounted from the footwear so as to be replaceably used, whenever needed.

[0018]The insole 20 according...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a functional footwear which comprises an insole having a toe-seating portion, whose height is higher than that of the remaining portion thereof other than the toe-seating portion, for allowing a user's toe to be seated thereon. The toe-seating portion of the insole of the functional footwear is formed higher than the remaining portion of the insole other than the toe-seating portion, so that toes of a walker are placed higher than the other portions of the sole of the feet of the walker, thereby obtaining an effect of the backward walking even when the walker walks forwardly.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a functional footwear, in more particular, to a functional footwear which comprises an insole having a toe-seating portion, whose height is higher than that of the remaining portion thereof other than the toe-seating portion, for allowing a user's toe to be seated thereon.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As an interest in human health has been increased along with a gradual improvement in the social life and economical development, a simple exercise easily performed in a daily life has been settled. In particular, a safe walking has been generalized which is available for everyone regardless of age or sex and is enjoyable without any special equipment or cost.[0003]In such walking, forward walking as well as backward walking is popular. The backward walking has several advantages in that it stimulates muscles which are not normally used in the forward walking, and also has less impact than the forward walking when a user's feet come into cont...
