Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrective shoe technology, specifically a corrective shoe for in-toeing gait. Background Technology
[0002] Congenital foot deformities refer to deformities such as inversion, eversion, or foot drop in young children caused by various reasons. Inversion is characterized by an everted foot position, lateral displacement of the calcaneus, and a lowered inner arch. Inversion is characterized by forefoot adduction and inversion, increased skin creases on the medial side of the foot, and thinning and tightening of the lateral and dorsal sides of the foot, with the heel unable to lie flat. Foot drop is characterized by the lower limbs hanging naturally without active dorsiflexion or eversion. These conditions severely affect growth, development, and daily life. This application is made to address these poor foot postures and optimize shoe upper structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an in-toeing gait correction shoe that overcomes the shortcomings described in the background art.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] An in-toeing gait correction shoe includes a sole and an upper. The upper and sole are connected to form a shoe, and the upper is shaped to form an opening for the foot to enter. The upper also has a cavity that communicates with the opening. An openable and closable barrier structure is provided at the opening. The barrier structure is limited to closure by a connecting structure. The in-toeing gait correction shoe changes the corrective posture by adjusting the tightness of the traction component.
[0006] In some embodiments, the connecting structure includes a first extension, a first lint-adhesive layer, and a first lint-hooking layer. One end of the enclosure structure is sewn to the first extension, the back of the first extension is sewn to the first lint-adhesive layer, and the outer surface of the enclosure structure is sewn to the first lint-hooking layer.
[0007] The installation positions of the first adhesive layer and the first hook layer can be interchanged. That is, the first adhesive layer is not necessarily only sewn onto the back of the first extension; it can also be sewn onto the outer surface of the enclosure structure. The first adhesive layer and the first hook layer consist of two structures made of Velcro. When the enclosure structure is separated from the first hook layer on the back of the first extension and the first hook layer on the outer surface of the enclosure structure, its front end is open. Conversely, when the first adhesive layer and the first hook layer are connected, the enclosure structure is closed. After the foot is put into the in-toeing gait correction shoe, the enclosure structure wraps around the leg in a ring. The sewing connection can be understood as a connection by needle and thread. Taking the sewing connection of the first adhesive layer to the back of the first extension as an example, the first adhesive layer is sewn onto the back of the first extension by needle and thread.
[0008] In some embodiments, the traction assembly includes a traction strap, a second extension, a second lint-adhesive layer, and a second hook-and-loop layer. One end of the traction strap is sewn to the second extension, the back of the second extension is sewn to the second lint-adhesive layer, the upper surface is sewn to the second hook-and-loop layer, and a buckle is installed on the upper surface by means of a strap. The traction strap passes through the buckle to adjust the position of the second extension and connects to the second hook-and-loop layer.
[0009] In some implementations, at least one traction component is provided.
[0010] In some embodiments, reinforcement plates are provided in certain parts of the shoe upper to improve its rigidity and support.
[0011] In some embodiments, a shoe tongue is provided on the shoe upper, and a plurality of shoe straps are connected to the shoe tongue area on the shoe upper. The shoe upper adjusts the degree of shoe upper wrapping around the foot by a tightening component.
[0012] In some embodiments, the tightening assembly includes a thin cord and a cord retractor. The cord retractor is installed on the shoe tongue. The thin cord is threaded through the shoelaces in sequence, and the end of the shoelaces extends into the cord retractor to form a control end. Rotating the cord retractor winds in or releases the shoelaces.
[0013] In some embodiments, the shoe tongue is provided with a limiting band for auxiliary limiting cords.
[0014] In some embodiments, an orthotic insole is nested within the sole.
[0015] In some implementations, two traction components are provided.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses a combination of a traction component and a barrier structure. The traction belt in the traction component changes the force exerted on the feet by the barrier structure, thereby changing the corrective posture and achieving the corrective effect for in-toeing gait.
[0018] 2. This utility model improves the hardness and support of the shoe upper by setting reinforcement plates in certain areas. Sufficient hardness helps to ensure the corrective effect.
[0019] 3. This utility model can be used in conjunction with customized orthotic insoles for correction. Attached Figure Description

The traction strap 61 passes through the buckle 65 to adjust the position of the second extension 62 and connects to the second lint-hooking layer 64.
[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, at least one traction component 6 is provided.
[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the upper 2 is partially reinforced with a reinforcing sheet 21 to improve the hardness and support effect of the upper 2.
[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a shoe tongue 7 is provided on the shoe upper 2, and a plurality of shoe straps 22 are connected to the shoe tongue 7 area on the shoe upper 2. The shoe upper 2 adjusts the degree of shoe upper 2's wrapping around the foot by tightening component 8.
[0033] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the tightening component 8 includes a thin rope 81 and a rope-retracting button 82. The rope-retracting button 82 is installed on the shoe tongue 7. The thin rope 81 is inserted into the shoe rope strap 22 in sequence, and the end of the shoe rope strap 22 extends to the inside of the rope-retracting button 82 to form a control end. Rotating the rope-retracting button 82 winds in or releases the shoe rope strap 22.
[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a limiting band 71 with an auxiliary limiting cord 81 is provided on the shoe tongue 7.
[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, an orthopedic insole is nested inside the sole 1.
[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, optionally, two traction components 6 are provided.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an in-toeing gait correction shoe, including a sole 1 and an upper 2. The upper 2 and the sole 1 are connected to form a shoe, and the upper 2 is shaped to form an opening 3 for the foot to enter. A shoe cavity communicating with the opening 3 is also provided inside the upper 2. A closable retaining structure 4 is raised at the opening 3. The retaining structure 4 is limited to closure by a connecting structure 5, and its position is adjusted by a traction component 6. The connecting structure 5 includes a first extension 51, a first lint-adhesive layer 52, and a first hook-and-loop layer 53. One end of the retaining structure 4 is sewn to the first extension 51, the back of the first extension 51 is sewn to the first lint-adhesive layer 52, and the outer surface of the retaining structure 4 is sewn to the first hook-and-loop layer 53. The traction assembly 6 includes a traction strap 61, a second extension 62, a second lint-adhesive layer 63, and a second lint-hooking layer 64. One end of the traction strap 61 is sewn to the second extension 62, and the back of the second extension 62 is sewn to the second lint-adhesive layer 63. The surface of the shoe upper 2 is sewn to the second lint-hooking layer 64. A buckle 65 is installed on the shoe upper 2 by means of a strap body. The traction strap 61 passes through the buckle 65 to adjust the position of the second extension 62 and connects to the second lint-hooking layer 64.
[0039] A traction component 6 is provided, for example, in a left-foot toe-in gait correction shoe, the traction component 6 can be located on the left side of the shoe. A reinforcing plate 21 is provided in a portion of the upper 2 to improve the rigidity and support of the upper 2. A tongue 7 is provided on the upper 2, and several shoelaces 22 are connected to the area of the tongue 7 on the upper 2. The upper 2 adjusts the fit to the foot using a tightening component 8. The tightening component 8 includes a thin rope 81 and a drawstring button 82. The drawstring button 82 is installed on the tongue 7, and the thin rope 81 is sequentially threaded through the shoelaces 22. The ends of the shoelaces 22 extend and connect to the drawstring button 82 to form a control end. Rotating the drawstring button 82 winds in or releases the shoelaces 22. A limiting band 71 for auxiliary limiting of the thin rope 81 is provided on the tongue 7. A corrective insole is nested inside the sole 1.
[0040] When wearing the in-toeing gait correction shoes, separate the first adhesive layer 52 and the first hook layer 53 of the first extension 51, and insert the foot into the shoe opening 3 until the foot is inside the shoe cavity and wrapped by the inner surface of the shoe upper 2. According to the correction requirements, manually pull the traction strap 61, causing the traction strap 61 to pull the retaining structure 4 to change its position. The end of the traction strap 61 connects to the second hook layer 64 on the surface of the shoe upper 2 through the second adhesive layer 63 of the second extension 62. The second hook layer 64 is set laterally, and its lateral length is the adjustment range of the traction strap 61. The further to the right the connection position, the greater the force exerted by the traction strap 61 on the retaining structure 4. That is, by adjusting the tightness of the sides, the original in-toeing gait is changed through tension, thereby achieving the correction purpose.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] This embodiment provides an in-toeing gait correction shoe. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that two traction components 6 are provided, that is, traction components 6 are provided on both the left and right sides of the in-toeing gait correction shoe.
[0043] The specific structure of the cord winding button 82 can utilize existing button structures. This button is actually a type of knob, comprising a base, a cord winding reel, a knob, and an unlocking button. The cord winding reel, used for winding the adjusting cord, is rotatably mounted within the base around its own axis. The knob is rotatably mounted on the base in one direction. The knob engages with the cord winding reel to rotate and lock the adjusting cord. The unidirectional rotation of the knob keeps the adjusting cord locked to the cord winding reel. The unlocking button connects to the cord winding reel and passes through the knob, allowing for switching the engagement or disengagement of the knob from the cord winding reel. Disengaging the knob from the cord winding reel allows the reel to rotate in the opposite direction of the winding to loosen the adjusting cord, enabling the adjusting cord wound on the reel to be pulled outwards. Those skilled in the art typically contact the knob supplier to purchase and assemble the knob.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
