Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] The shoe according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (Figures 1 to 13). In Figures 1 to 3, 12 and 13, S is a shoe. The shoe S includes a sole 1 and an upper portion 2 disposed on the sole 1, and a shoe opening 2A is formed for inserting the user's foot. forming a shoe opening 2A for inserting the user's foot, and an upper portion 2 disposed on the sole 1. is. In Figure 1, 3, 3 are a pair of flange portions that define a part of the outer periphery of the shoe opening 2A, 4 is a tongue portion that closes a part of the region between the pair of flange portions 3, 3, and 5 is disposed inside the tongue portion 4. on the tongue portion 4 is The elastic member has a convex shape. The elastic member 5 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin, more specifically, TPU. It is formed.

[0013] The tongue-like part 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade parts 3, 3 by, for example, sewing with a thread. X shown in FIG. 1 is the sewing part. Therefore, when the shoe S is taken off, the tongue-like part 4 returns to its original position by the elastic member 5 (FIG. 13), returns the position of the outlet 2A to its original position to make it easier to put on, and at the same time, the elastic member 5 in the tongue-like part 4 prevents the movement, and when putting on the shoe S, it prevents the tongue-like part 4 from slipping into the inside of the shoe S at the instep, and it can be made easier to put on. In addition, in FIG. 1 of the present embodiment, two sewing parts X are provided on the left and right. However, depending on the case, it may be possible to have only one sewing part X. Also, although the tongue-like part 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade parts 3, 3, in the present invention, it is not limited to this, and the tongue-like part 4 and the elastic member 5 may be connected to the upper part 2.

[0014] And when the shoe S is not used, the tongue-like part 4 secures the opening 2A by the elastic member 5 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 13, and the tongue-like part 4 is in a predetermined position when the shoe S is not used, and secures the opening 2A to make it easier to put on by the tongue-like part 4 and the elastic member 5 connected to the blade parts 3, 3 or the upper part 2. The tongue-like part 4 is in a predetermined position when the shoe S is not used, and secures the opening 2A to make it easier to put on it. In addition, the strength of the elastic force of the elastic member 5 inherent in the tongue-like part 4 is such that when the tongue-like part 4 is pushed toward the insole 6 of the shoe S the tongue-like part 4 moves toward the insole 6 of the shoe S (see FIG. 12), and when the action of being pushed is released, the tongue-like part 4 returns to its original position by the elastic member 5 (FIGS. 1, 13).

[0015] Therefore, according to the above-described shoe S, due to the upwardly convex elastic member 5 inherent in the tongue portion 4 the tongue portion 4 of the opening edge 2A is made convex, and when putting on the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 can be prevented from shifting into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on.

[0016] Also, since the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade portions 3, 3 or the upper portion 2 when taking off the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 returns to its original position by the elastic member 5, returning the position of the opening 2A to its original position to make it easier to put on, and also preventing the movement of the elastic member 5 within the tongue portion 4. When putting on the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 can be prevented from shifting into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on.

[0017] Also, since the elastic member 5 is harder than the covering member 41 of the tongue portion 4 that covers the elastic member 5 (the outer member of the tongue portion 4) the tongue portion 4 of the opening edge 2A is made harder in a convex shape, and when putting on the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 can be further prevented from shifting into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on.

[0018] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, when the thickness T1 of the elastic member 5 on the side closer to the opening edge 2A is made larger than the thickness T2 (T2 < T1) of the elastic member 5 on the side farther from the opening edge 2A, and the elastic member 5 is connected to the blade portion 2A or the upper portion 2. Therefore, by a simple means, the elastic force of the elastic member 5 can be strengthened, and when putting on the shoe S, the tongue portion 4 can be further prevented from shifting into the interior of the shoe S by the instep, making it easier to put on.

[0019] Also, as described above, the tongue portion 4 and the elastic member 5 are connected to the blade portion 3 or the upper portion 2. When the shoe S is not in use, the tongue portion 4 secures the opening edge 2A and the elastic member 5 inherent in the tongue portion 4 ​​​​​​​​​​The strength of the elastic force of the elastic member 5 is such that when the tongue-like portion 4 is pushed toward the insole 6 of the shoe S, the tongue-like portion 4 moves toward the insole 6 of the shoe S (see Fig. 12), and when the pushing action is released, the elastic member 5 returns the tongue-like portion 4 to its original position. Therefore, due to the tongue-like portion 4 and the elastic member 5 connected to the blade portion 3 or the upper portion 2, the tongue-like portion 4 is in a predetermined position when the shoe S is not in use (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 13), securing the opening 2A for easy putting on and taking off, and when putting on the shoe S, preventing the tongue-like portion 4 from slipping into the inside of the shoe S more by the instep, making it easier to put on.
