[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shoe for treating hallux valgus, comprising a sole 1, on which an upper 2 is arranged, a shoe collar 201 is formed at one end of the upper 2, an opening is arranged on the side of the shoe collar 201, and a correction patch 202 is arranged in the opening, wherein the opening on the side of the shoe collar 201 and the correction patch 202 form an openable or closable rolling door structure to facilitate opening or closing at the side of the shoe collar 201.

[0040] In specific implementation, the correction patch 202 is a strip structure, the lower end of the correction patch 202 is connected to the bottom of the upper 2, and the top of the upper 2 is provided with Velcro, which is adhered and matched with the top of the side opening of the shoe collar 201. In addition, the side opening edge of the shoe collar 201 is covered with soft cloth to avoid abrasion to the wearer's feet, and a burr portion is also provided on the inner wall of the top opening of the shoe collar 201 to match the Velcro at the top of the correction patch 202.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a slide groove 3 is provided along the length of the middle portion of the upper end surface of the sole 1, one end of the slide groove 3 extends to the toe position of the sole 1, and the other end extends to the heel position of the sole 1, and a disassembly opening 301 is provided.

[0042] The correction plate 4 is slidably mounted on the slide groove 3. The correction plate 4 is a cushion structure adapted to the forefoot of a human body, and a bottom plate 6 is fixed to the lower end surface of the correction plate 4. A slider 601 is fixed to the middle of the lower end surface of the bottom plate 6, and the slider 601 is slidably embedded in the disassembly opening 301. Specifically, the slider 601 is an inverted "T" structure, and a plurality of balls 602 are embedded and mounted on the bottom of the slider 601. The slide groove 3 is adapted to the slider 601, so that the slider 601 can slide smoothly in the slide groove 3, and the disassembly opening 301 allows the slider 601 to be fully exposed, so that the correction plate 4 and the bottom plate 6 can be conveniently removed from the upper end surface of the sole 1, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and is conducive to later cleaning and maintenance.

[0043] like Figure 5As shown, a restraint band 5 is installed at the position of the human foot thumb on the correction plate 4. The restraint band 5 is in a "C" shape with an opening facing the outside of the correction plate 4. One end of the bottom plate 6 is fixed with a side guard plate 7 for the restraint band 5, and a winding cap 8 for winding the top end of the restraint band 5 is rotatably installed on the side guard plate 7.

[0044] Specifically, a connecting cable 501 is installed at the top end of the restraint band 5. The connecting cable 501 extends into the top of the side guard plate 7, and the winding cap 8 is connected with a winding shaft extending into the side guard plate 7 and is used for winding the connecting cable 501. Therefore, by rotating the winding cap 8, the connecting cable 501 at the top of the restraint band 5 can be wound to pull the restraint band 5, thereby pulling the patient's foot thumb outward to achieve the effect of hallux valgus correction. Moreover, the correction degree can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the patient, so as to gradually correct the hallux valgus of the patient. The treatment effect is more gentle and comfortable, convenient for daily dressing, and will not affect daily activities.

[0045] In addition, a locator 9 is elastically installed on the side guard plate 7. The locator 9 is engaged with the end of the winding cap 8 to form positioning and fixation.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown, a groove 701 is opened on the outside of the side guard plate 7 at the position of the edge of the winding cap 8, and the locator 9 is elastically installed in the groove 701. Specifically, a fine groove is circumferentially arranged on the outer edge surface of the winding cap 8. The locator 9 is a block structure adapted to the fine groove on the outer edge surface of the winding cap 8, and a movable column 901 inserted into the groove 701 is fixed on the locator 9. A return spring 902 is sleeved on the movable column 901, and the return spring 902 will drive the locator 9 to move towards the winding cap 8, so that the locator 9 can automatically abut against the fine groove on the outer edge surface of the winding cap 8 to achieve the effect of positioning and fixing the winding cap 8.

[0047] The working principle provided by the present invention is that when the hallux valgus treatment shoe is in use, the correction plate 4 in the shoe can be slid, so that the patient can slide the correction plate 4 to the shoe collar opening 201, which is convenient for the patient to first insert the front sole to match with the correction plate 4 and open the correction sticker 202 on the side of the shoe collar opening 201, so as to facilitate the patient to rotate the winding cap 8 for subsequent adjustment operations.

[0048] Among them, when rotating the winding cap 8, the restraint degree of the restraint band 5 on the foot thumb can be adjusted by winding the connecting cable 501. After the restraint band 5 is adjusted to an appropriate correction degree, the patient's foot can be completely inserted into the shoe by cooperating with the sliding of the correction plate 4, and then the wearing is completed. Therefore, it can gradually and intensively correct the hallux valgus of the patient, which is more gentle than the prior art and will not affect the patient's daily activities.

[0049] Meanwhile, after wearing, the position of the correction plate 4 is always based on the sliding groove 3, which has a certain positioning effect on the patient's feet, and can avoid the contact or friction between the hallux valgus correction position and the inner wall of the shoe.

[0050] In summary, the present device can not only adjust the correction degree according to the patient's needs, which is beneficial to gradually correct the hallux valgus of the patient, with a more gentle and comfortable treatment effect, convenient for daily dressing and use, and will not affect the daily activities, and the overall use effect is good.
