Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an insole for shoes, in particular for shoes without a firmly formed heel strap, such as pumps, ballerinas or similar types of shoes. State of the art
[0002] Shoes without heel straps often have the disadvantage that the foot slips out of the shoe while walking. Common solutions involve either straps permanently attached to the shoe or insoles without an active retention mechanism. These solutions are disadvantageous because they permanently alter the shoe, cannot be retrofitted, or do not provide sufficient foot support. Object of the invention
[0003] The object of the invention is to provide an insole that reliably prevents the foot from slipping out of the shoe without permanently altering the shoe, and which is flexibly adaptable to different shoes and wearers. Solution to the task
[0004] The problem is solved by an insole according to claim 1.
[0005] The insole has a retaining device in the form of a loop formed in one piece with the insole, into which a heel strap, which can be guided around the foot in the heel area, is detachably inserted. Advantageous effects of the invention
[0006] The design according to the invention ensures that the foot is held securely in the shoe without the need to modify the shoe itself.
[0007] The insole can be retrofitted, the heel strap is replaceable, and the insole can be inserted loosely or attached to the shoe. Example of implementation
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the insole consists of a flexible material and has a one-piece formed loop in the heel area.
[0009] A heel strap is inserted into this loop, which is guided around the foot in the heel area.
[0010] The insole is either placed inside the shoe or glued to it. Description of the drawings Fig. Figure 1 shows a top view of an insole (1) with a loop (2) located in the heel area. Fig. Figure 2 shows a side view of the insole (1) with the one-piece formed loop (2) into which a heel strap (3) is inserted. Fig. Figure 3 shows the insole (1) in a shoe (4), wherein the heel strap (3) is guided around the foot in the heel area.
