Perfect Gait Shoe

Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention, perfect gait shoe includes the shape of the foot wear, the foot wear is divided into front section, mid section and rear section, the front section of the sole interfaces with the mid section at an angle of 45 to 95 degree, mid section interfaces with the rear section at an angle of 85 to 125 degree. The perfect gait shoe also includes a hard under sole with oval to varied shaped pockets filled with highly compressible material in the front section and the rear section of the foot wear; this provides cushioning of the fore foot and hind foot. The rear section of the foot wear also has a very hard sole in the rear end of the under sole, the newly invented perfect gait shoes of the foot wear confirms to the shape of the foot in heel strike, foot flat, heel off and toe off stages of walking, the inventing design of the sole helps in providing adequate cushion to the foot preventing pain and injury to the bones of the fore foot and hind foot, adopts to the shape of the foot in normal walking promotes development of foot, leg, thigh, hip muscles of the body.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to footwear and more particularly to a shoe that has been adapted to improve a walker's power posture and comfort. This is accomplished by a unique shape & structure of footwear arrangement, which optimizes the use of all muscles of lower limbs and increases the power of the walker, present inventive shoe adopts to the shape of the foot and supports the foot in all stages of normal walking, provides shoe spring or rebound cushioning. Although the shoe provides benefits which extend to all forms of footwear including sports shoes, it has proven especially effective for use by people who walk for exercise and or competition, and is described in the context of race walking below.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Locomotion or walking is an important and basic function of humans. Our life depends on walking, Walking is essential in providing the basic necessities of life, ‘Movement is life and life is movement’ and movement is ...

[0011]A Perfect Gait Shoe According to one aspect of the invention, includes the shape of the foot wear, the foot wear is divided into front section, mid section and rear section, the front section of the sole interfaces with the mid section at an angle of 45 to 95 degree, mid section interfaces with the rear section at an angle of 85 to 125 degree. The perfect gait shoe also includes a hard under sole with oval to varied shaped pockets filled with highly compressible material in the front section and the rear section of the foot wear, this provides cushioning of the fore foot and hind foot. The rear section of the foot wear also has a very hard sole in the rear end of the under sole, the newly invented perfect gait shoes of the foot wear helps in shoe confirming to the shape of the foot in heel strike, foot flat, heel off and toe off stages of walking, the inventing design of the sole helps in providing adequate cushion to the foot preventing pain and injury to the bones of the fore foot and hind foot, the hard outer sole helps in transmitting the muscular force to the ground during walking, the invented shoe thus helps in building up of the muscles of hip, thigh, leg and foot by promoting natural walking, this bulk of muscles prevents the onset of modern life style diseases.

[0022]Active sitting can be achieved and facilitated by the inventive design of Perfect Gait Shoe, two types of active sitting and exercise can be done one by putting the weight on the fore foot, this increases the hamstrings and other muscles, second by putting the weight on the heel this strengthens the muscles of the legs, the present inventive shoe promotes doing exercise even during sittings.

Problems solved by technology

Human's foot is flat, yet normal walking is not flat it takes many shapes with each step but our present foot wear is flat, sole of the present foot wear is hard and inflexible, foot in natural walking is flexible and changes its shape, hence present foot wear do not promote normal walking due to this rigidity and this defect in the present foot wear leads to life style diseases like obesity, cardiac diseases, osteoporosis arthritis of knee, spondylosis, backache, ankle fractures, hip fractures and other diseases, It is evident that lack of proper walking techniques and exercise are the main reason for the advent of these life style diseases.

Modern foot wear with its hard rigid soles do not allow so many movements of the foot, this causes disuse atrophy of various muscles of the leg, back and other parts of the body, in effect our body gradually adjusts to the foot wear, instead of foot wear adjusting to our foot, we are left with one movement of the foot that is foot flat stage, This makes a chain of reactions in the body, the muscles gets disuse, bulk of the muscles decreases, body falls to this trap and succumbs to modern life style diseases as a consequence to the use of badly designed rigid soled foot wear.

In conventional shoes the sole of the shoes is flat, in some shoe the wearer's heel is elevated relative to the toes and the ball of the foot preventing the movement of the foot and in all the shoes the sole will be rigid, hard and inflexible and flat when the foot is planted, this arrangement of the shoes does not allow double support and causes the disuse of leg, thigh & hips muscles and decreases in size this leads to improper walking posture, which can lead to injury, bad posture detracts and decreases the wearer's walking power and walking speed, the wearer will tend to stand with a body reclined slightly so as to maintain balance, stand on the front of the foot rather than back of the foot results in an unhealthy posture and increases the likelihood of injury to the walker's lower torso, conventional shoes also detract from walking efficiency because it is necessarily provided a sole with an undersurface which is generally planar, rigid and inflexible from the shoe's heel to the tip of its toe, however, during fast walking, planar shoes may be uncomfortable and does not confirm to the shape of the foot along the various stages of walking, most of the times this deters the foot movement, reduces the use of calf muscle and hamstring muscle and in turn reduces the bulk of the calf muscles, hamstrings muscles and gluteus muscles.
