Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to shoes, and more particularly to shoes with laces. [Background technology]
[0002] Laced shoes have shoelaces in openings formed in the instep of the upper, and the width of the opening can be adjusted by tightening the shoelaces to prevent the shoes from slipping off easily and to fit the instep height and instep circumference to the user's foot. The opening is connected to the shoe opening, and the tongue that closes the opening fits over the user's instep, preventing the instep from being exposed to the outside.
[0003] Although such laced shoes can be securely fastened to the user's feet, it is very troublesome to have to fasten and untie the shoelaces every time the user puts on or takes off the shoes. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-57110 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional shoe, and its object is to provide shoes with shoelaces that are easy to put on and take off. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In the device described in claim 1, A shoe with an opening in the upper for shoelaces, On both sides of the upper opening with shoelaces, there are second and third openings that can be opened and closed freely with first and second line zippers, respectively. The second and third openings extend forward from the front edge of the opening, and the second and third openings can be opened forward from the front edge of the opening by opening the first and second line fasteners. It is characterized by: In the device described in claim 2, The first and second line fasteners are extended forward from the front end of the opening for the shoelace. It is characterized by: [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] According to this invention, shoes with shoelaces can be easily put on and taken off by opening the first and second line fasteners to widen the front of the shoe opening without having to fasten or untie the shoelaces. After putting on the shoes, the first and second line fasteners can be closed to easily prevent the shoes from slipping off. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a left side view of a shoe with shoelaces according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a right side view of FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of FIG. 1. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of FIG. 1. [Figure 6] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Next, a mode for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to an embodiment. [Example]
[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Figures 1 and 2 are left and right side views of a shoe with shoelaces according to the present invention, and Figure 3 is a plan view. In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a shoe with shoelaces, which has an opening 4 for shoelaces in the instep 3 of the upper 2. Reference numerals 5 and 6 denote second and third openings provided on both the left and right sides of the opening 4 for shoelaces in the upper 2, which can be freely opened and closed by first and second line fasteners 7 and 8, respectively. The second and third openings 5, 6 extend forward from the front edge of the opening 9, and by opening the first and second line fasteners 7, 8, the second and third openings 5, 6 can be opened forward from the front edge of the opening 9. The first and second line fasteners 7, 8 extend forward from the front end of the opening 4 for the shoelaces.
[0011] Next, a method of using the shoelaced shoes 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. (1) First time wearing them When wearing the shoelaced shoes 1 for the first time, the first and second lines 7 and 8 are closed to expose the second and third openings. 5 and 6 are left in a closed state. Then, the shoelace 10 at the shoelace opening 4 is loosened to widen the shoelace opening 4, and the foot is placed inside the upper 2 through the opening 9, with the instep inserted under the tongue 11. Then, while tightening the shoelace 10, the width of the shoelace opening 4 is adjusted to prevent the laced shoes 1 from coming off easily and to fit the instep height and instep circumference to the user's foot.
[0012] (2) When taking off clothes When taking off the laced shoes 1, instead of loosening the shoelaces 10, the first and second line fasteners 7, 8 at the second and third openings 5, 6 are fully opened. This opens up the front of the upper 2 widely from the second opening 5 to the third opening 6 (Figs. 4 to 6), making it extremely easy to take off the shoes.
[0013] (3) When wearing them again When putting the shoes back on, if the first and second line fasteners 7, 8 are left fully open, the front of the upper 2 is wide open, so that the foot can be easily inserted inside the upper 2. Then, by closing the first and second line fasteners 7, 8, the shoe with laces 1 can be easily prevented from slipping off the foot.
[0014] According to this embodiment, the laced shoes 1 can be easily put on and taken off by opening the first and second line fasteners 7 and 8 to widen the front of the opening 9 without having to fasten or untie the shoelaces 10. After putting on the shoes, the laced shoes 1 can be easily prevented from coming off by closing the first and second line fasteners 7 and 8.
[0015] In the above embodiment, the first and second line fasteners 7, 8 are described as extending forward from the front end of the opening 4 for shoelaces, but the present invention is not limited to this, and they may be extended to the vicinity of the front end of the opening 4 for shoelaces or to a position behind the front end.
[0016] The present invention is applicable to various types of shoes with laces, such as leather shoes, synthetic leather shoes, and sports shoes. [Explanation of symbols]
