Abstract

We provide insoles for diet shoes that allow you to achieve weight loss without giving up halfway through, and without resorting to extreme dietary restrictions or exercise. [Solution] The insole for diet shoes of this invention has a stepped structure that gradually rises from the toe side in the central part of the insole where the arch of the foot makes contact, and a protrusion in the heel area. The difference in height between the upper and lower parts created by the stepped structure corresponds to the location of the arch of the foot, thereby causing the heel of the foot to be lifted inside the shoe, encouraging a "toe-walking" state where the heel is lifted even during normal walking, thereby adding load to the leg muscles, increasing the calories burned while walking, and producing a diet effect. In addition, a protrusion is provided in the heel area to assist in promoting toe-walking. This also includes a form in which toe-walking is promoted only by the protrusion in the heel area.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an insole for shoes, which has a slope-like structure where the front side gradually rises from the front at the part where the arch in the middle of the front and back of the insole contacts, thereby generating an up-and-down step at the arch position. As a result, the heel side of the foot floats in the shoe. With this step structure, the heel part is lifted to the state of "tiptoe walking" where the heel is lifted during normal walking, imposing a load on the muscles of the foot. This load increases the calorie consumption during walking, thereby generating a dieting effect.

Summary of the Invention

[0002] When implementing a diet, in many cases, it is necessary to add daily exercise behaviors such as jogging or marathons, or to reduce calorie intake by restricting daily diet. However, these must be done intentionally and consciously. The probability of diet success by these methods is not zero but tends to be low, and there are also many cases of setbacks on the way. Means for Solving the Problems

[0003] Focusing on the shoes used daily, a shoe insole with a stepped structure for lifting the heel is worn. When wearing the shoes, the heel floats to a tiptoe state, and walking in the tiptoe state leads to an increase in calorie consumption due to daily walking behavior, resulting in a dieting effect. Effects of the Invention

[0004] By making use of daily-use items, dieting can be achieved without setbacks on the way and without imposing excessive diet restrictions or exercise.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0005] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a side view with a part of the present invention cut away. [Figure 3]This is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This figure shows another embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This figure shows another embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] This figure shows another embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0006] The following describes embodiments for implementing this invention. (i) The thickness of the flat insole is gradually increased from the toe side to the arch area, covering the entire width of the insole, and the thickness ends with a step near the arch. (b): Create a step near the arch of the foot on the flat insole by creating the thickness in (a). (h): A protruding structure is provided on the part of the heel that remains flat. The present invention has the structure described above. When using this invention, the invention should be placed in advance on the bottom of the middle section of the footwear, such as shoes, before putting them on, and walking should be done as usual. When using this insole, it is recommended to leave a little extra room in the height direction of the shoe compared to usual. [Explanation of Symbols]

Claims

1. An insole for shoes that features a stepped structure in the front-to-back direction and a protrusion at the heel to lift the heel.

2. The stepped structure in the front-to-back direction is positioned roughly corresponding to the arch of the foot, and its width in the lateral direction is the same as the width of the insole.

3. The height of the stepped structure according to claim 2 shall be approximately 1 to 2 centimeters.

4. The end of the stepped portion of the stepped structure according to claim 2 is not limited to a straight line, but may include shapes other than a straight line, such as curves, waves, or wedges.

5. The protruding structure provided on the heel portion should make contact with the heel at one or two points, and should not be extremely sharp to prevent injury. Its shape may vary, such as cone-shaped or other forms.

6. The heel portion of claim 4 may be omitted.

7. This claim also includes designs that do not have a stepped structure in the arch area, but only have a protrusion in the heel area.
