Benefits of technology

[0012]Therefore the invention is to resolve problems of the prior technologies stated above. The objective of the invention is to provide an ergonomically fit shoe sole for walking by differentiating the thickness of the shoe bottoms and the rear portion of the shoe sole that touches the ground from the rear part to the front part of the shoes and thus dispenses the center of the body from the outside of the shoe to the inner sole areas that absorbs and mitigates impact on the foot and induces the most proper and idealistic triple-time stepping, correcting the out-toed gaits and preventing the deformation of the vertebra.

Problems solved by technology

The idealistic way of walking is the triple-time stepping, but the majority of the shoes concentrate the body weight on the heels of the foot, thus delivering the impact to the vertebra that results in pain in the waist, shoulders and the neck, and also deforming the toes and increasing the fatigue from walking.
On the previous inventions, part of the rear portions were removed which caused pain when the cut out part strongly irritated and caused pain in the middle of the foot when the shoe is put on for long hours.
Also, the cut out parts are slippery when touching the ground which can result in unintended fall.
Especially for some types of the shoes, the rear portion is formed in a downward curve which thickens the shoe sole too much and results in many problems such as limiting the function of the actual shoe heels, the variety of design and especially blunting the senses of the feet that causes more falls.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown.

[0035]This invention relates to a shoe sole that naturally disperses the center of the body from the outside of the shoe bottom to the inner areas that absorbs and mitigates the impact when walking, by improving the design of the shoe sole bottom.

[0036]The shoe sole refers to the part of the shoe that directly contacts the ground, and the shoe sole is variously formed according to each of its type.

[0037]For example, the bottom of leather shoes consists of the front portion and the staged rear portion which is heightened to form the shoe heel, whereas the bottom of shoes such as athletic shoes have are flattened from the front portion to the rear portion of the shoes.

[0038]In cases for the bottom of the athletic shoes, it is common that the surface of the shoe bottoms are embossed to prevent slipping.

Abstract

This invention relates to a highly engineered shoe sole developed to fit the natural structure of the human foot and walking gait. By inventing a shoe sole with the heightened outer part of the shoe heels and lowered on the inner part of the front portion of the sole, the shoe enables the triple-time stepping by maintaining his / her feet and the ankle aligned with the shoes when standing or walking. Also, by naturally shifting the center of the body inwards from the outer part of the shoes, thus distributing the body weight evenly to the entire area of the shoe soles, the shoes reduce fatigue on the foot by absorbing and mitigating the impact on the foot that supports the body weight, which prevents and corrects deformed walking habits such as out-toed gaits and also prevents slipping while walking.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a highly engineered shoe sole developed to fit the natural structure of the human foot and walking. To be more specific, by improving the shape of the bottom part of the sole, the shoe naturally shifts the center of the body inwards from the outside of the shoe area, disperses the weight distribution evenly to the entire area of the shoe soles, thus absorbs and mitigates the impact on the foot that supports the body weight while enabling the triple-time stepping which is most idealistic walking method for our body, and also preventing and correcting deformation of our vertebra that reduces fatigue from walking and enhances physical growth, at the same time that corrects out-toed gaits into a proper walking habit.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In general, the shoe soles comprise the bottom of the shoes, and depending on types of the shoes, the heels can be separately attache...
