Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to shoes with changeable appearance. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, shoe manufacturers may manufacture and sell shoes with the same structure but different appearances. Shoes with different appearances, for example, shoes with different colors, are sold with the same structure in multiple appearances, allowing wearers to choose which shoes to purchase from among the shoes with different appearances. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] When shoes with the same structure are manufactured and sold in multiple looks, inventory is generated for each look. More specifically, because shoes are manufactured and sold in multiple sizes, a stock keeping unit (SKU) is generated for each look for each size. As the number of SKUs increases by manufacturing and selling shoes in multiple looks, the inventory management burden on shoe manufacturers is heavy. On the other hand, reducing the variety of shoe looks manufactured and sold may result in fewer options for shoe looks for wearers.

[0004] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide shoes whose appearance can be changed while reducing the burden of inventory management. [Means for solving the problem]

Furthermore, in the front-to-back direction of shoe 2, the front arc is shorter than the rear arc. Each intersection between the arc and the straight line is rounded. The length of belt 27 in the front-to-back direction of shoe 2 is called the width of belt 27. The width of belt 27 is arbitrary and can be changed as appropriate. The width of belt 27 is shorter than the width of belt 25. Belt 27 is provided at a position that is a predetermined distance forward from belt 25. Belt 27 is provided at a position that is substantially the same distance forward as the width of belt 25.

[0042] Belts 25 and 27 are attached to shoe 2 in the width direction of the foot. Belt 27 can be attached parallel to belt 25. When shoe 2 with belts 25 and 27 attached is viewed from above, belts 25 and 27 appear to be parallel. Belts 25 and 27 may have different curvatures.

[0043] The hook and loop fastener 271 is sewn onto the entire surface of the belt 27 that faces the wall 225. Here, the surface of the belt 27 that faces the wall 225 is referred to as the "back surface." Furthermore, the surface of the belt 27 opposite the back surface is referred to as the "front surface." The front surface of the belt 27 is the surface that is visible to the wearer when the wearer puts on the shoe 2. The hook and loop fastener 271 is sewn onto the entire back surface of the belt 27. The hook and loop fastener 271 has the same shape as the belt 27. Therefore, the hook and loop fastener 271 is not visible from the front surface of the belt 27. The hook and loop fastener 271 is, for example, Magic Tape (registered trademark). The hook and loop fastener 271 may be sewn onto the belt 27, or may be attached by a method such as adhesive.

[0046] The decorative item 3 will be described with reference to Figure 5. The vertical direction in Figure 5 is the width direction of the decorative item 3, and the horizontal direction in Figure 5 is the length direction of the decorative item 3. Figure 5(a) is a diagram showing a belt 25, Figure 5(b) is a diagram showing the belt 25 with a feed can 26 attached, and Figure 5(c) is a diagram showing the belt 25 with the feed can 26 and the decorative item 3 attached.

[0047] The decorative item 3 is attached to the belt 25 by a feed can 26. The decorative item 3 is a strip-shaped member in the shape of a parallelogram. Both ends of the decorative item 3 in the length direction are cut with a heat cutter. The decorative item 3 is white, and has letters written in the center in the width direction. The letters written on the decorative item 3 are, for example, the name of a company or organization. Furthermore, straight lines of the same color as the letters are written above and below the letters. In Figure 5(c), the strip-shaped member is sandwiched between the feed can 26 and the belt 25.

[0048] A method for attaching the feed can 26 to the belt 25 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The feed can 26 is attached to one end of the belt 25 on the outer foot side shown in FIG. 5(a). One end of the belt 25 is inserted through the opening 26i of the feed can 26. At this time, the one end of the belt 25 passes through the opening 26i from the back surface to the front surface of the feed can 26. Then, the one end of the belt 25 is inserted through the opening 26o. At this time, the one end of the belt 25 passes through the opening 26o from the front surface to the back surface of the feed can 26. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the feed can 26 is attached to the belt 25. The front surface of the belt 25 contacts the protrusion 264, and the back surface of the belt 25 contacts the protrusion 266. The protrusions 264 and 266 act as anti-slip surfaces to prevent the feed can 26 from coming off the belt 25.

[0049] Next, we will explain how to attach the feed can 26 and decorative item 3 to the belt 25. The decorative item 3 is placed on the front surface of the belt 25. One end of the belt 25 and decorative item 3 is inserted through the opening 26i of the feed can 26. At this time, one end of the belt 25 and decorative item 3 passes through the opening 26i from the back surface of the feed can 26 to the front surface. Then, one end of the belt 25 and decorative item 3 is inserted through the opening 26o. At this time, one end of the belt 25 and decorative item 3 passes through the opening 26o from the front surface of the feed can 26 to the back surface. As a result, as shown in Figure 5(c), the feed can 26 and decorative item 3 are attached to the belt 25. The strip-shaped member that is the decorative item 3 is sandwiched between the feed can 26 and the belt 25. The decorative item 3 contacts the protrusion 264, and the back surface of the belt 25 contacts the protrusion 266. The protrusions 264 and 266 act as anti-slip devices, preventing the feed can 26 and the decorative article 3 from coming off the belt 25.

[0050] The decorative article 3 may be attached to the belt 25 with the feed can 26 attached. That is, the decorative article 3 may be attached to the belt 25 shown in FIG. 5(b). In this case, one end of the decorative article 3 is passed between the belt 25 and the long side 263 at the opening 26i. Then, the same end of the decorative article 3 is passed between the belt 25 and the long side 263 at the opening 26o. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the feed can 26 and decorative article 3 are attached to the belt 25. The strip-shaped member that is the decorative article 3 is sandwiched between the feed can 26 and the belt 25. The decorative article 3 contacts the protrusion 264, and the back surface of the belt 25 contacts the protrusion 266. The protrusions 264 and 266 act as anti-slip surfaces, preventing the feed can 26 and decorative article 3 from coming off the belt 25.

[0051] The decorative article 3 is removed from the belt 25 by being pulled out through the openings i and 26o of the feed can 26. In this way, the decorative article 3 is a member that can be attached to and detached from the belt 25.

[0052] Here, the shoe set 1 includes multiple decorative articles 3. The shoe set 1 includes multiple decorative articles 3 for one shoe 2. The decorative articles 3 have different appearances. For example, the decorative articles 3 have the same shape but different colors. The shoe set 1 includes multiple belt-shaped members that have the same shape as the belt-shaped member shown in FIG. 5(c) but different colors. The colors of the decorative articles 3 are, for example, white, red, and navy blue.

[0053] As described above, the decorative item 3 is a component that can be attached to and detached from the belt 25. The feed can 26 allows one of multiple decorative items 3 of different colors to be attached to the belt 25. In other words, the wearer can change the decorative item 3 attached to the belt 25. For example, if a white decorative item 3 is attached to the shoes 2, the white decorative item 3 can be removed and a red decorative item 3 can be attached. The wearer can attach a decorative item 3 of their preferred color, depending on, for example, their mood on the day they wear the shoes 2. Here, shoe manufacturers may wish to reduce the number of colors of the shoes 2 they manufacture and sell, thereby reducing the number of SKUs and the burden of inventory management. Reducing the number of colors of the shoes 2 manufactured and sold would reduce the wearer's color choices. However, because the shoe set 1 includes multiple decorative items 3 of different colors, the wearer can select the color of the decorative item 3 from multiple options. In other words, shoe manufacturers can obtain shoes with changeable appearances while reducing the burden of inventory management on the shoe manufacturer.

[0054] The shoe set 1 is not limited to the above-described configuration. The shoe set 1 may include multiple belts 27. The shoe set 1 includes multiple belts 27 for one shoe 2. The belts 27 have different appearances. For example, the multiple belts 27 have the same shape but different colors. For example, the shoe set 1 includes a white belt 27, a pink belt 27, and a green belt 27. The colors of the belts 27 are not limited to these. Furthermore, the number of belts 27 included in the shoe set 1 is not limited to three.

[0055] A wearer can attach at least one belt 27 from among multiple belts 27 of different colors to the shoes 2. The wearer can change the belt 27 attached to the shoes 2. For example, if a white belt 27 is attached to the shoes 2, the wearer can remove the white belt 27 and attach a pink belt 27. The wearer can attach a belt 27 of a color of their choice, depending on, for example, the mood of the day they wear the shoes 2. As described above, shoe manufacturers may want to reduce the number of colors of the shoes 2 they manufacture and sell, thereby reducing the number of SKUs and the burden of inventory management. Reducing the number of colors of the shoes 2 manufactured and sold reduces the color options available to the wearer. However, because the shoe set 1 includes multiple belts 27 of different colors, the wearer can select the color of the belt 27 to attach to the shoes 2 from multiple options. In other words, shoes 2 whose appearance can be changed can be obtained while reducing the burden of inventory management.

[0056] Furthermore, in the shoe set 1, the wearer can select the color of both the decorative item 3 and the belt 27. Therefore, the wearer can increase the color options by combining the color of the decorative item 3 with the color of the belt 27. Because the decorative item 3 and the belt 27 are detachable from the shoes 2, it is possible to obtain shoes 2 whose appearance can be changed.

[0057] The fastener is not limited to the feed can 26. For example, the fastener may have a snap structure consisting of a member with a convex portion and a member with a concave portion. For example, a member with a convex portion is sewn onto the surface of the belt 25, and a member with a concave portion is sewn onto the decorative article 3. By pressing the convex portion into the concave portion, the convex portion and the concave portion fit together, and the decorative article 3 can be attached to the belt 25. Furthermore, by releasing the convex portion from the concave portion, the decorative article 3 can be removed from the belt 25.

[0058] Furthermore, the decorative article 3 is not limited to a belt-shaped member. The decorative article 3 may be an article other than a belt-shaped member. The decorative article 3 may be, for example, a flower-shaped part. In this case, the shoe set 1 includes multiple decorative articles 3 with different flower colors. The decorative articles 3 can be attached to the belt 25 with a fastener.

[0059] Regarding the belt-shaped member, the figures and letters displayed on the belt-shaped member are not limited to these. Also, the belt-shaped member does not have to include figures and letters. When letters and straight lines are displayed on the belt-shaped member, the colors of the letters and straight lines may be different for each of the multiple belt-shaped members. Decorative articles 3 with different appearances include belt-shaped members with letters and straight lines of different colors.

[0060] The number of decorative articles 3 included in the shoe set 1 is not limited to 3. Furthermore, although white, red, and navy blue are exemplified as the colors of the decorative articles 3, the colors are not limited to these.

[0061] The belt 25 may include an extension member connected to one end on the lateral side of the foot. The extension member is a member that extends one end of the belt 25 on the lateral side in the foot width direction of the shoe 2. The extension member is made of an arc extending two arcs that extend in the foot width direction in the belt 25, and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc. The extension member may be made of a different material from the belt 25. The extension member may also be a different color from the belt 25, for example, gray.

[0062] The belt 27 may be sewn to the upper 22. The belt 27 is sewn to the upper 22 along the outer periphery of the belt 27. In this case, the shoe set 1 does not need to include a plurality of belts 27.

[0063] The shape of the heel strap 228 is not limited to the above. For example, the heel strap 228 may be a trapezoidal member with an upper edge formed by an arc. The arc of the upper edge is an arc that follows the rear edge of the shoe opening 22a. The heel strap 228 may also be made of a different material from the upper 22. For example, the heel strap 228 may be made of a rubber material or the like as a reinforcing material for the heel portion.

[0064] The dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions of components, etc. described in the above embodiments are arbitrary and may be changed depending on the structure or various conditions of the device to which the present invention is applied, and the present invention is not limited to the above specifically described embodiments.

[0065] In the described embodiments, specific terminology is used for clarity. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology and examples selected. Those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other equivalent components can be used and other methods can be developed without departing from the broad concept of the present invention.

[0066] While the foregoing description is directed to preferred embodiments of the invention, it should be noted that other variations and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art and can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Also, features described in connection with one embodiment of the invention can be used with other embodiments, even if not explicitly described above. [Explanation of symbols]
