Abstract

I created two mannequins, one for the right foot and one for the left, each with hallux valgus. These mannequins serve as models for manufacturing shoes using a new technique specifically designed for the right and left feet, each with a big toe deviation. While women are the most affected population by hallux valgus, with a high prevalence, this invention will also be applicable to men with confirmed hallux valgus on both their right and left feet.

Description

Title of the invention: PATENT APPLICATION FOR FOOT MANNEQUINS FOR MANUFACTURED SHOES FOR RIGHT AND LEFT FEET AFFECTED BY HALLUX VALGUS Description of the invention

[0001] Linked to various causes, hallux valgus is an outward deviation of the big toe. This deviation leads to a widening of the forefoot and makes wearing shoes difficult or even painful. No medical device can completely correct this deviation. It is therefore necessary to invent and create shoes adapted to this morphology of the right and left feet so that people with hallux valgus, particularly women, feel comfortable in their shoes. This requires innovation in shoe manufacturing techniques, with different styles and models for different occasions, that accommodate both right and left feet affected by hallux valgus.

Claims

Demands

1. Apart from orthopedic shoes, currently the shoes offered on the global footwear market, from a technical point of view, are not adjusted at the front of the shoe, to feet with hallux valgus.

2. The shoes currently available on the market, although of good quality, cause compression of the big toe's deviation, resulting in foot pain.

3. This painful discomfort in the aforementioned feet, although bearable, is nevertheless uncomfortable.
