Benefits of technology

[0015]As described above, a human-body balancing footwear providing a cushion suitable for the weight of a user while preventing the user from being knock-kneed or bandy-legged according to the present invention has the following effects.
[0016]First, a person can the most naturally walk as if the person walks in bare feet due to the heel part of the footwear having the shape similar to that of the heel of a human body. The heel part, which protrudes at a right angle according to the related art, is rounded similarly to the shape of the heel of the human body, so that the external impact can be primarily reduced. In addition, the elasticity of the impact absorbing cap secondarily absorbs the impact when the heel part makes contact with the ground. Accordingly, the soles and the ankles of person feet are protected, and the fatigue caused by accumulated impacts can be reduced, so that the user has a comfortable daily life.
[0017]Second, the impact absorbing cap is divided into left and right sections, so that the impact absorbing cap can be frequently replaced with new one. Accordingly, when one of the left or the right sections is worn early due the bad walking posture of a user, the worn section can be immediately replaced with new one, so that the balance can be maintained in the left and right sections. Accordingly, the legs of an adolescent under the growth period can be preliminarily prevented from being knock-kneed or bandy-legged as the ankle joint of the adolescent, which is twisted due to the deformed heel part of the footwear, exerts a bad influence on the legs of the adolescent. In addition, the human-body balancing footwear according to the present invention can prevent problems resulting from the deformation in the backbone of the adolescent, so that the balance of the human body can be very effectively maintained.
[0018]Third, since the human-body balancing footwear according to the present invention is equipped with a weight-adjustable cushion, persons having different weights can select and use a cushion allowing he / she to feel the most comfortable. Accordingly, the soles or the joints of the persons can be very effectively protected.
[0019]Fourth, since the sole part of the human-body balancing footwear according to the present invention has a shape similar to that of the sole of a human being which is the most comfortably developed through the evolutionary process, the human-body balancing footwear according to the present invention is an ergonomic footwear allowing a person to feel the most comfortable as if the person walks in bare feet on the cushiony place.
[0020]Fifth, only when a heel part of typical dress shoes, a portion of which is worn early, is frequently replaced with new one, the ankle joint of a person may be prevented from being deformed. In the case of the conventional footwear, the heel part cannot be replaced with new one or must be replaced with new one in a heel bar by paying too much money, so that time and money may be wasted. In contrast, the footwear equipped with the impact absorbing cap according to the present invention can be simply replaced with new one at home or in an office, so that time and money may not be wasted.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the weight shift of a user is not natural in walking, so that the user may walk with difficulty.
In addition, the end portion of the heel part protrudes at a right angle, so that the protruding end portion may uselessly apply impact to a user foot in many cases.
Accordingly, if a user does not significantly practice walking in the footwear, the user may not walk comfortably.
In addition, when the user keeps standing for a long time or mainly uses mass transportations, the user may not keep the balance of the body.
Therefore, if a lighter user uses the footwear, the cushion feels hard, and if a heavier user uses the footwear, the cushion function is not smoothly performed, so that the footwear may act only as a foot cover.
However, since the weight of the user is not naturally moved, and one side of the heel part of the footwear is not prevented from being worn early, an ankle joint of the user may be deformed.
Further, the balance of the whole body of the user may be collapsed, so that the health of the user may be destroyed.
Nevertheless, the above problems have not been solved yet.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]The present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.

[0035]As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a human-body balancing footwear 100 according to the present invention includes an upper leather 110 covering a foot of a user, and a shoe liner part (not shown), an insole part 120, and a sole part 130, which are sequentially stacked downwardly from the upper leather 110, and may further include a heel part 140 provided at a rear portion of the sole part 130 and an impact absorbing cap 150 coupled with the heel part 140.

[0036]The impact absorbing cap 150 provides a cushion function for the heel part 140 to absorb an impact applied to the heel part 140 and is replaceable if necessary. Preferably, the impact absorbing cap 150 includes a material representing elasticity greater than that of the heel part 140.

[0037]Referring to FIG. 4, the impact absorbing cap 150 may include a first cap 151 and a second cap 152. The first cap 151 may be coupled with an outer ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a footwear (including shoes, sneakers, and like, and hereinafter, referred to as “footwear”) which is produced on the basis of ergonomics, and which includes a heel part provided at a rear portion of a sole part, and an impact absorbing cap detachably coupled with the heel part. The footwear absorbs external impacts generated during walking as much as possible in three stages. The heel of the footwear is divided into a left section and a right section, and is replaceable at any time. The footwear prevents deformation in the ankle joint and knock-knees or bandy-legs caused by a difference in wear between the two heels of shoes.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a footwear based on ergonomics. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ergonomic footwear capable of absorbing external impact generated when a person walks in three stages, preventing the legs of adolescents under the growth period from being knock-kneed or bandy-legged as the ankle-joint of the adolescent, which is gradually twisted due to the difference in the worn of the heel part of the footwear, exerts a bad influence on the leg joint of the adolescent, maintaining the body balance of all persons, and allowing the person to feel the most comfortable by providing a cushion function suitable for the weight of the person.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In most soles of typical footwears, a heel part is completely separated from a foresole part regardless of the types of the footwear such as athletic shoes and dress shoes. Accordingly, the weight shift of a user is not natural in walking, so that the user may walk with diff...
