[0002] When people attend various occasions, they need to wear unsuitable shoes for a long time to match their clothes, such as pointed shoes, high heels, etc. This wearing habit often easily leads to bunions and various foot diseases caused by long-term wear and tear on the big toe.

[0003] Existing technologies often treat the aforementioned foot diseases using foot orthotic devices. However, existing technologies often suffer from the technical problem of overly cumbersome orthotic structures. For example, a hallux valgus corrector disclosed in Chinese Patent CN202420980083.4 has a cumbersome structure that not only leads to high manufacturing costs but also results in poor wearing comfort. To address these issues, the inventors have developed a new invention. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0024] This utility model is a thumb protector for the foot, including a foot sleeve 1 and a toe sleeve 2, which are connected as one piece. The foot sleeve 1 has a first wearing space 11 in the middle for wearing the foot, and the toe sleeve 2 has a second wearing space 21 in the middle for wearing the big toe. The first wearing space 11 is connected to the second wearing space 21. The front end of the second wearing space 21 has a first opening 22 for the big toe to pass through. The rear end of the first wearing space 11 has a second opening 12 for the foot to enter, and the front end of the first wearing space 11 has a third opening 13 for the four toes to pass through. Both the foot sleeve 1 and the toe sleeve 2 include a first fabric layer 3 and a second fabric layer 4. A soft rubber pad 5 is placed between the first fabric layer 3 and the second fabric layer 4, and at least part of the soft rubber pad 5 is located at the bottom of the foot. The edges of the first fabric layer 3 and the second fabric layer 4 are sewn together to clamp and position the soft rubber pad 5 inside the protector. The toe sleeve 2 tightens the big toe, straightening the big toe to the correct position, thereby correcting hallux valgus.

[0025] This utility model is mainly used for the correction of hallux valgus and the protection and treatment of worn areas of the thumb. Compared with traditional foot protectors, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. This utility model consists only of an integrally molded foot cover and toe cover, with fewer components, significantly simplifying the structure of the protective cover and reducing the overall manufacturing cost; 2. This utility model uses flexible fabric to form the overall protective cover and assembles soft rubber pads inside the protective cover, effectively improving the overall comfort of the protective cover and making it more comfortable to wear.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, the overall foot cover 1 can be divided into a back surface 14, a first transition surface 15, a bottom surface 16, and a second transition surface 17 connected in sequence. The soft rubber pad 5 is only provided on the foot cover 1, and extends from the bottom surface 16 of the foot cover 1 to the first transition surface 15. When the soft rubber pad 5 is laid on the bottom surface 16 of the foot cover 1, the feel of the foot is more comfortable when stepped on, and it also cushions the foot against the ground, protecting the foot area. Furthermore, the first transition surface 15 specifically refers to the side where the toe cover 2 is located. The soft rubber pad 5 extending to the first transition surface 15 can cover the connection between the big toe and the foot, i.e., the metatarsophalangeal joint, which is most prone to wear and inflammation. Covering this area with the soft rubber pad 5 provides protection and also reduces pain caused by inflammation in this area.

[0027] As one embodiment, the portion of the third opening 13 located on the back side 14 is provided with an arc-shaped notch 18, meaning that the two ends of the third opening 13 are not symmetrically distributed, and the shallower end can reduce fabric costs. In addition, to provide better corrective force, the orthotic sleeve has a certain thickness of fabric, and the unequally distributed openings can reduce the foot coverage area and reduce the occurrence of stuffy feet.

[0028] Preferably, the toe sleeve 2 is further provided with a toe isolation block 6 on the side near the third opening 13; when the protective sleeve is worn, the toe isolation block 6 is placed between two adjacent toes, separating the two toes, and further assisting the toe sleeve 2 in correcting hallux valgus. In this technical solution, the toe isolation block 6 is a transparent soft rubber, such as elastic silicone material.

[0029] As one embodiment, the toe release block 6 is adhered to the outer wall of the toe sleeve 2. The toe release block 6 is molded from a soft and comfortable elastic rubber material, which allows the toe release block 6 to directly conform to the instep, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0030] In another embodiment, the toe isolation block 6 is disposed between the first fabric layer 3 and the second fabric layer 4 of the toe sleeve 2. In this embodiment, the toe isolation block 6 is directly nested inside the protective sleeve, and the toe isolation block 6 and the protective sleeve become one piece, which can better fix the toe isolation block 6 and effectively prevent the toe isolation block 6 from falling off.

[0031] Preferably, the toe isolation block 6 has an arc surface on the side near the third opening 13, and a recess 61 is provided in the middle of the arc surface. The recess 61 adapts to the shape of the toes, reduces the excessive foreign body sensation after wearing, and can also be used to improve wearing comfort.

[0032] To further expand the applicability of the protective cover, an adjustment device 7 for adjusting the size of the first wearing space 11 is provided on one side of the foot cover 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, the foot sleeve 1 is provided with a first side 19 and a second side 20. The first side 19 and the second side 20 are only located at the end away from the toe sleeve 2, meaning the foot sleeve 1 is cut open on the side away from the toe sleeve 2 to form two sides. The adjustment device 7 includes a hook and loop fastener 202 and a loop fastener 203. The hook and loop fastener 202 is located on the inner surface of the first side 19, and the loop fastener 203 is located on the outer surface of the second side 20. The hook and loop fastener 202 and the loop fastener 203 work together. In use, the size of the first wearing space 11 is adjusted by the hook and loop fastener 202 and the loop fastener 203 adhering to each other, allowing the protective sleeve to be suitable for different people and different foot shapes.

[0034] Preferably, the second opening 12 of the foot cover 1 is connected to a strap 8, which hooks onto the ankle to further assist in securing the foot protector to the foot. The strap 8 is made of elastic fabric or has Velcro or an adjustment ring, allowing the length of the strap 8 to be adjusted to suit different people.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
