Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a shoe with a belt that can be fastened to the user's foot. The belt is wound by a dial unit, which makes it easy to pull the belt towards the upper part of the shoe and fasten it to the user's foot. The base end section of the belt is fixed to the shoe's outsole, while the side edges of the belt are not fixed to the shoe, allowing the belt to easily slide between a pair of blades. This design allows for efficient pull-up of the user's plantar arch and provides support for the foot. Pair of openings can be provided in the dial unit to make it easy to fasten the belt.

Problems solved by technology

The prior art structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-519949 does not, however, provide support for the plantar arch of the foot.
This prior art structure shows that the front edge of the shoe in the canopy is fixed, and therefore even when the canopy is fastened, the plantar arch cannot be moved upward or secured.
