Point DETAILED EXPLANATION 6 A shoe may consist of a sole and an upper. The sole is an outsole, a midfoot and / or an integrally formed outfoot and midfoot It can consist of a sole. The upper consists of a toe box, a front patch section, and a tongue, an inner side section of the back of the shoe, an outer side section of the back of the shoe, and It may include a heel block. The shoe has a forefoot section, a back section, and a 5 It has an inner side and an outer side. The shoe has an outer layer, inner layers or internal structure and / or It may include an inner lining. The upper supports the user's foot when the user wears the shoe. It can create an opening for a shoe to pass through. The heel padding or back of the upper allows the foot to fit more easily into the shoe opening. It may include a structure(s) that facilitates its placement. The structure(s) may also make it easier for the foot to move. It can also support removal. The heel padding or back section of the upper can also be removed by the user. It may have a structure that allows for temporary expansion when putting on or taking off the shoe. The wider the shoe opening, the more the user can place their foot on the heel pad or the back of the upper, can be applied by the user's foot and very little or by the user's hands. It can be initiated with a load application that can be performed without any assistance. The other 15 of the invention In these applications, the heel filler can be compressed and re-inserted when subjected to sufficient load. It can return to its uncompressed state. Lowering the heel pad allows the user It can also allow for easier placement of the foot. A foot in a shoe Once inserted, the heel padding allows the user to wear the shoe normally during wear. 20 It is possible. Compressible Heel Cup. Referring to the applications in FIGURES 1-10, a heel cup (32), an inner component of the upper (16), a section of the inner lining (46) or heel cup (52) an attachment adjacent to the inner lining (46) of the upper (16) or the upper (16) that will come into contact with the foot. a part of the outer layer (42) or an outer surface of the outer layer (42) of the counter (16) 25 It may include a compressible heel cup (52) which can be an attachment. Referring to the example application of FIGURE 1-4, the heel cup (52) is largely a a shape corresponding to the heel covering and a profile resembling a pear shape It has. The heel cup is near the heel cup collar (84), in FIGURE 1-2. As shown, the lower part (54) is less than the mediolateral (inner-outer) width of 30 It has a mediolateral width. As shown in FIGURE 2, the top of the heel cup at the very back of the heel cup The inner wall of part (64) (66) is 0 to a vertical line (86) to the horizontal surface of the ground (88). 7 It can have a downward slope of between 90 degrees. In this example application, the upper The inner wall (66) of the part (64) may have a downward slope of 30 degrees. Heel the inner wall (66) of the upper part (64) of the cup (52) should face towards the shoe opening (48) It can also have a convex curvature. The upper part of the convex curvature extends downwards 30 degrees. It has a slope of 5 degrees (A1). The lower part of the convex curvature is the heel of the heel cup (52) 5 It lies directly above the surrounding part. The lower part of the convex curvature extends downwards to A1. It may have a slope less than the slope of the vertical line (86) and this slope is equal to the slope of the vertical line (86). It gradually decreases as you get closer. The heel cup (52) surrounds the back of the heel. It has a concave curvature. The medial and lateral sides of the heel cup (52) are also 10 It can reach out and provide support. The thickness of the heel cup (52) can be reduced at various points. The upper edge line (68), a tapering on the inner surface of the heel cup (52) and on the outer surface of the heel cup (52) It may have. For example, 2 to 3 mm along the other circumferential edges of the heel cup (52). The thickness (T1) may have been increased. In another example application, 15 when wearing the shoe (12). or thickness (T1) to provide more flexibility to the heel cup (52) when taking it off can be reduced in the regions. In one application, the thickness of the heel cup (52) (T1) of the heel cup (52) the center of the middle part (70) forming an area around the periphery (58) It can decrease gradually towards part or region (50). The center of the middle part (58) The minimum thickness (T1) in the region (50) is approximately, but not limited to, 20 with the condition that, compared to the thickest parts around the heel cup (52), 1 / 4 to 1 / 6, For example, it can be between 0.5 and 1 mm. The thickest part of the top section is the thickest part of the bottom section. It may be larger than the region. The thickness of the central region of the middle part (58) (T1) Reducing it can allow the heel cup (52) to be compressed under sufficient load. An alternative In practice, the thickness (T1) is measured throughout the entire mediolateral part or in the mid-part (58) regions 25 and / or can be reduced in multiple regions such as the upper part (64). Thinner regions, under the weight of a user’s foot, as when wearing a shoe (12) the flexibility and elasticity of the heel cup (52) which provides the necessary compressibility This type of compression can increase the size of the upper part (64) and / or heel cup (52). to allow the middle part (58) to move backwards and make it easier for the foot to enter 30 It can allow the shoe opening (48) to widen. The heel cup (52), user the first step under the weight of the user's foot when wearing the shoe It can deform from one configuration to the second configuration. For example, the heel cup (52) is partially 8 compressible, so that the upper part (64) and / or middle part (58) of the heel cup (52) It can be lowered enough to allow the user's foot to fit inside. See FIGURE, for example. 4A and 4C. After the user's foot is inserted into the shoe (12), the heel cup (52) It can revert to its uncompressed configuration. In addition to this application, when a user puts on the shoe (12), the heel cup 5 (52) the upper part of the convex curvature or the top of the (12) heel padding of the shoe (32) The part may lower as the heel filler (32) is compressed, as shown in FIGURE 4A and The foot can extend backward. This movement allows the user's foot to move lower down the plantar axis. It allows the shoe to be inserted into the shoe opening (48) with the degree of flexion. The heel cup (52) During compression, some parts of the heel cup (52) move forward in the direction of the forefoot part 10 It can move correctly. Deformation of the heel cup (52), medial and lateral sides of the heel cup. The sides move outwards, widening the opening of the shoe, forming a combined structure. It may include widening of the heel padding (32). The mediolateral of the shoe opening (48) its widening, making it easier for the user to place their foot in the forefoot section, etc. It allows for easy entry. In a sample application, a 7.5 cm shoe opening is reduced to 4 cm or 15 cm. It can expand by approximately 50%. See FIGURES 4C and 4D. The expansion affects the size of the shoe. It may be more or less depending on the size and the flexibility of the heel cup. Some In footwear, depending on the desired width, reinforcement, and usage needs. It may be less or more. In an example application of the heel cup (52) shown in FIGURE 1-4, Dupont Hytrel 20 The thickness of the heel cup (52) made of a polymer material such as (T1) is 0.4 millimeters to 4 The thickness range of the heel cup (T1) can vary between millimeters. The desired thickness range of the material is... Thinner or thicker in various areas depending on its elastic and durable properties. It is possible. For example, from the regions surrounding the midpoint region, as shown in Figure 6B. It could be thinner, and the central part in particular could be thinner. The central part is inner and 25 It may be far from the outer edges, in which case the circumferential edges have a greater thickness. It may have. Other suitable materials include the compressible properties of the heel cup. Other thermoplastic elastomers or other polymers that can provide this may be included. In another example application, the heel cup is a configuration similar to an egg carton. It can be configured to have a series of crossbeams forming 30 beams. FIGURE 5 shows the beams. It shows an example arrangement in a cross-over configuration. An alternative In practice, beams can be in both vertical and horizontal configurations. Between the beams The spans can be approximately equal in size. The beams can have uniform dimensions, or... 9 Their thickness and width can vary. Thinner or shorter beams can be specified. While it can be used to increase flexibility and compressibility in some places, thicker or more Wide beams provide varying degrees of rigidity in support. For example, beams in the middle section And it may be thinner, especially in the central part, away from the edges. The surrounding beams may be thicker than the central section. The central section deforms under a load. 5 It can provide more flexibility to prevent this from happening. In an example application, the rearmost part of the heel cup (52) is shown in the cross-section of Figure 6A. A general vertical cross-section that roughly resembles an S-wave, as shown in the diagram. It can have the following shapes: the upper and lower parts of the S wave, the upper curve and the lower curve of the S wave. A horizontal line is drawn between the ends and intersects the peak of the S wave with the heel filler (52). The S wave can be separated from the other at point P1 via the plane, that is, the central line. The amplitude (AU) and width (WU) of the curvature of the upper part of the S wave, and the lower curvature of the lower part of the S wave. It can differ in amplitude (AL) and width (WL). In the example application, WU is WL's width. It is approximately 0.44 times larger. AU is about 1 / 3 the size of AL. In a possible application, WU WL is approximately 2 centimeters and AU is approximately 4.5 centimeters. AU is roughly 3 millimeters and AL is roughly 15 millimeters. It is 9 millimeters. S configuration, from the cross-section of the rearmost part of the heel cup (52). In the cross-sections of the extended areas, both AU / AL and WU / WL decrease, and only It can consist of lower arches along the medial and lateral sides of the heel cup (52). The measurements of the rearmost part of the heel cup (52) in a sample application serve as an example. It is intended to do so. 20 The central area of ​​the middle part of the heel cup may have a single opening or multiple openings. may have. The central region of the middle section may have a maximum thickness of the collar and / or such as the sole being manufactured with less material than its maximum thickness, the heel cup The central part of the middle section is also made of a material that is more flexible than the material that forms its surroundings. It can be manufactured. A single opening, multiple openings, less thickness and / or a more flexible 25 The resulting effects of the central region containing the material cause the user's foot to enter the shoe. It can help make it easier to put on and take off the shoe. In addition to the example application, the heel cup (52) is shown in FIGURE 10. It can be attached to at least one inner foam layer (92). The heel cup (52) is shown in FIGURE 7-10. As shown, the foam layer (16) can be located inside the heel padding (32). (92) both the inner wall (52) of the heel cup (66) and the outer wall of the heel cup (52) It can cover. Around the top and middle part, the foam layer (92) can protrude and It can extend into the inside of the shoe opening (48). The foam layer (92) extends over the top of the heel cup (52). It may be thicker in part (64) and in the middle part (58) so that the shoe opening (48) It can form part of the cuff. A thicker foam layer (92) protects the user's foot. because it will be located above the calcaneus bone region and at least the ankle region of the foot Since it will extend around a part of it, after the shoe (12) is placed inside, the user It can ensure that your foot is firmly fixed. Because the foam is compressible, the foam can hold your foot 5 It can be pinched by the heel during insertion or removal, and after the foot is inserted Then it can grip the user's ankle. Stiff Heel Cup. In an example application, a shoe (12) FIGURE 11-13. a heel pad located at the back (36) of a shoe upper (16) as shown (32) may have. Heel padding (32), an inner component of the upper (16), part of the inner lining (46) 10 or adjacent to the inner lining (46) of the upper (16) in such a way that the heel cup (52) will touch the foot. a part of an add-on or counter (16) outer layer (42) or the outer layer of counter (16) (42) may include a heel cup (52) which may be an attachment to an outer surface. A heel cup is a device designed to enclose the heel of the foot. It may have a lower part that forms. The lower part of the heel cup also forms both the inner and 15 It may also have lateral extensions on the outer side. The heel cup is the lower part of the heel cup. It may have a central section located on top and curving inwards over the heel bone. or it may consist of an opening. The heel cup is an opening located at the back of the heel cup. It may have. In addition to this application, the heel cup greatly supports the weight of the foot. It can have a rigid heel cup made of a non-compressible material. 20 The rigid heel cup's central section ensures the shoe's fit around the heel of the foot. At least one additional opening can be included to increase the width. The meter covering the opening. The material layers are made of an elastic material that will stretch around the contours of the heel. It may contain. The tension created by the elastic material during stretching affects the shoe's normal performance. It can improve foot grip during use. 25 The top of the heel cup extends downwards from the top edge of the heel cup of the shoe. It can be structured with a gentle curve that extends in a curved manner toward the mouth (48). Upper the inner wall of the section extending from the curved upper edge of the upper part towards the inner part of the counter 16 It has a completely downward slope. The inner wall of the upper part resembles a shoehorn. It can have dimensions such that the gentle curve and angle of the downward slope of the top is 30 The heel cup allows the heel of the foot to slide more easily into the shoe (12). made of a rigid material that does not compress significantly under the weight of the user's foot It is possible. In an alternative design, the heel cup may have some degree of flexibility, so that... 11 the top of the heel cup bends downwards and outwards from the shoe opening and / or to widen the shoe opening (48) for easier insertion and / or removal of the foot It may have enough flexibility to be slightly flexible. As shown in Figure 11, the upper edge of the heel padding (32) is also the back The heel collar (74) can form a flexible support structure. The heel cup (52) with the upper (16) 5 when combined, a fabric material(s) or technique to cover the heel cup (52) A known suitable material(s) can be used and thus the outer layer (42) and inner layer of the upper It forms the layers or upper structures. The fabric material is placed on the heel cup (52) It can extend straight and thus form an extension of the heel collar (74). Foam material or any known interior lining material(s) in the field of technology 10 It can be used as a compressible inner layer of the counter (16) in FIGURE 11. Foam The material provides cushioning against the hard heel cup material of the heel cup. (52) can be combined with the inner surface. The thickness of the foam material can be uniform or attached to the foot. This may vary in certain areas depending on the desired cushioning or support. For example... In practice, thicker foam material can be found on the inner wall (66) of the top (64) and at least 15 At least a portion of it may extend along the mediolateral length of the inner wall (66). Foam The material is similar to the foam material configuration shown in FIGURE 10. When shoes (12) are worn, the heel should be around at least part of the ankle. It can be configured to bend. In this configuration, the user's foot, the insertion of the foot During insertion, the foam material can be compressed. After the foot is inserted, the foam material 20 It can expand to its fully uncompressed state or partially expand, so The safety of the foot inside the shoe (12) is increased. Other parts of the heel cup (52) A thinner foam material can be used for covering. Hard heel cup (52), front part of the shoe opening (48) that takes the foot with the heel cup (52). a shoe upper having at least one elastic zone (78) located between the upper edges 25 It can be used together with (16). The elastic area (78) makes it easier for the foot to fit into the shoe (12). In order to insert it, the back part of the heel padding (32) must be temporarily pulled back so that the foot can be inserted. one or more elastic materials that allow the widening of the shoe opening (48) It may have elastic material in the back of the shoe, as shown in FIGURE 11. as if it were a corner bracket on the inside or outside, or both, the counter has a 30 It may be a triangular piece of cloth (80) structured to be fixed to the gap. Elastic material, the upper part (30) located between the heel cup (52) and the back of the shoe or in the front patch area (24) or possibly in any gap between the tongue of the shoe 12 It is possible. Elastic material also fits the inner side of the heel cup (52) and the front patch part (24) and a series of elastic straps that run between the outer edges or possibly the tongue of the shoe or It can also be structured as a woven fabric. Forefoot support. In some applications, the user's foot supports the forefoot as they put on the shoe. the forefoot, part of the forefoot, or part of the shoe tongue into the throat area 5 A foot brace can be used to help prevent dragging. In some applications that have a shoe tongue (126) as shown in FIGURE 14, the inner side of the upper part (132) of the shoe tongue (126) is the first of an inner elastic strap (128) or near end and outer side of the top of the shoe tongue (126) (132) an outer elastic It is attached to the first or near end of the strap (130). The front lower part of the shoe tongue 10 It is directly attached to the upper. Each of the inner and outer elastic straps is attached to the second or distant It can be attached directly to the inner lining of the shoe at its ends. In an alternative application, the elastic The straps are respectively in the inner lining of the inner and outer parts of the back of the shoe. It can extend through the opening. The second ends of each of the inner and outer elastic straps are attached to the feet, respectively. It can terminate in the sole, the sock lining, or in an area of ​​the upper lining. Elastic 15 The straps function to maintain the overall position of the tongue when the user wears the shoe. He sees. In other applications, the inner and outer sides of the shoe's tongue edge... one of them, or the top of the shoe's tongue, is a triangular-shaped insert that may be made of elastic material. The piece is attached to the inner lining of the inner and outer back parts of the upper. Triangle 20 The additional piece, similarly, attaches to the tongue of the shoe when the user puts on the shoe. It can serve the function of maintaining its general position. Another aspect related to the shoe tongue... In practice, at least part of the inner and outer edges of the shoe tongue are directly It can be glued or sewn to the inside of the upper and tongue of the shoe. Also, the tongue of the shoe... The tongue is 25 inches longer along the mediolateral direction on the upper part of the tongue than the tongue of a traditional shoe. It can be extended extensively, and the edges or part of the extended section can be attached to the inside of the shoe upper. It can be glued or sewn on. In other applications, it is stiffer than the fabric of the forefoot or the tongue of the shoe. a foot brace or shoe tongue support that can be made from a plate-like material, It can be attached to the outer surface of the shoe tongue or to the shoe opening with an outer tongue layer. It can be embedded between an inner tongue layer. The forefoot or shoe tongue support protects the foot. This can reduce the risk of the forefoot or shoe tongue retracting during insertion, or It can prevent. In an application shown in FIGURE 14, the shoe tongue support (134) prevents the shoe 13 a tougher one, such as a thermoplastic polymer structured to be tougher than the tongue The material may vary. In some applications, the forefoot or shoe tongue support may be 0.2 mm to 1 mm thick. It can have a thickness between mm. Foot support, forefoot support, or shoe tongue. It may be aligned with, or the inner or outer sides of the forefoot or shoe tongue. It can extend outwards. In the application shown in FIGURE 14, the shoe tongue support (134) 5 It may be narrower and shorter than the forefoot or the shoe tongue. In one application, a reinforcing shoe back element extends from the heel to the foot. It can extend towards the comb or shoelace slots. (Triangle in Figures 11-12) When a triangular-shaped additional piece is added, such as the additional piece (80), the reinforcing shoe The rear part element is a triangular insert from the heel padding (32) along the front lower edge of the insert 10 and around the top edge of the collar to the forefoot, near the front patch area (24) or it can extend to the lace loops adjacent to the shoe tongue. Reinforcement The back part of the shoe is harder than the upper or back part material. It may have a structure. The reinforcing shoe back element material can be leather, plastic or It can be made from stiff fabric. Reinforcement back element glued to the upper 15 or it can be secured by stitching. The reinforcing shoe rear element is triangular in shape. a strip that extends like a ribbon along the lower front edge of the insert and collar It can be configured in this way. The reinforcing rear element of the shoe can be located on the outer surface. or an inner layer of the upper, such as a layer embedded in the upper, or the inner lining of the upper It can be placed along a portion of the shoe. The reinforcing rear element of the shoe is 20 It can provide greater durability against mouth-to-mouth wear, so that when the foot is inserted into the shoe... and when you push the heel cup backwards, the back of the shoe and the forefoot area It provides resistance against collapsing or moving inwards towards the shoe opening. The reinforcing back section of the shoe is a feature used in lace-up shoes. When used with a shoelace eyelet layer, the shoelace eyelets, 25 the back of the shoe and the forefoot collapsing or slipping inside the shoe opening. It can provide additional structural support by resisting the movement of the vehicle. Thus, a When the foot is pushed towards the heel cup and the triangular insert is stretched backwards, The reinforcing rear element of the shoe is not pulled significantly backward. Accordingly, When the foot is inserted into the shoe and the heel cup is pushed backward, the shoe opening is 30 cm wider. It can reach a wide opening. Compressible insole. In some applications, heel padding and heel / ankle support are included. The inside of the collar has a section with a compressible layer, like a foam layer. 14 It's possible. The compressible layer can extend inwards towards the shoe's opening. Compressible The layer is compressed under load when the shoe is put on or taken off. After being inserted into the shoe, the foam layer was not fully or partially compressed. This can expand to allow the foot to hold better inside the shoe. can provide. 5 In one example application, the compressible layer (100) is at least the ankle collar (140) is placed in a section and in the upper region of the heel filler (32). See FIGURE. 15-19. The compressible layer (100) extends towards the mouth of the shoe. The shoe During wearing, the foot applies a load onto the compressible layer, and thus The shoe's opening is widened by temporarily compressing the compressible layer. Foot 10 After being inserted into the shoe, the compressible layer partially or completely breaks down. It returns to its shape. The expansion of the compressible layer allows the foam to wrap around the foot. This can increase the comfort and stability of the foot by causing it to expand. Some In applications, the compressible layer rests on the calcaneus bone of the user's foot. and / or extends around and at least part of the ankle region of the foot. 15 The compressible layer is made from a foam material such as EVA or polyurethane foam. It can be done. The shape of the compressible sheet depends on the molding of the material and its compressibility. pre-formed by bonding the layer between at least two layers of textile material It may have been brought in. The shape of the compressible layer is at least partly due to the opening of the shoe. and / or may have a rounded outer surface extending to the ankle collar of the shoe. 20 The volume of the compressible layer may be larger at the rear of the heel filler and As shown in FIGURES 17-18, the inner part of the foam layer on both sides of the shoe It can be compressed along its longitudinal direction. The compressible layer can also be compressed along the vertical axis. tapered or rolled and compressible layer ankle collar (140) top larger in volume in the part and smaller in the lower part of the ankle collar (140) 25 It is possible. See FIGURES 18-19. The compressible layer may provide an additional heel cup or heel support. It can be used to create the entire heel cup without the need for padding. Alternative as such, the compressible layer is formed by a compressible heel cup as shown in FIGURE 1. They can be used together. The heel cup can form the outer surface of the upper, and the heel cup can form the inner surface of the upper. It can create a surface or heel cup, for example, into a compressible layer of 30 If buried, it can form an inner layer. In the example application, a lower flange (118) can extend down from the ankle collar. and may be configured to attach to the upper. The lower flange attaches the ankle collar to the upper. It can be configured in any size required for fastening. The length of the lower flange. This can also vary. In some applications, the lower flange extends downwards from the ankle collar. Without even stretching, it can form the part of the ankle collar that attaches to the upper. Other In some applications, the lower flange may extend partially or completely to the bottom of the counter. Some In some applications, the lower flange may be configured to form the heel filler. 5 In other applications, a heel cup is partially or completely lowered, as shown in FIGURE 1. It may be embedded in the flange. The compressible layer (100) can be coated with any type of textile material. Textile materials can be elastic and have a ribbed structure. Textile materials It can be in a form that conforms to the outer shape of the compressible layer. In a preferred application, 10 An adhesive, such as a thermoplastic-based adhesive, is applied to a compressible layer, and The compressible layer is then placed inside a sheath made of elastic textile material. The resulting product is glued or sewn according to the desired pattern of the ankle collar (140). It can also be done by any method, such as textile materials or thermoplastic materials. may contain and compressible layer (100) after being placed in the sheath of textile material, 15 Heat can be applied to attach the textile to the compressible layer (100). A preferred method is... In practice, steam is applied to the ankle collar and / or heel of the textile material. conforming to a pre-prepared shape that forms part of its filling It can be provided. In addition to the example application, any seam in the upper part of the wrist collar (140) 20 or there may be no loops and a seam at the bottom where it is attached to the upper (16). Seamless ankle collar (140) from the inner side of the shoe back, around the heel to the outer side The shoe can extend all the way to the back. When the user's foot is inserted into the shoe, The user's heel presses the compressible plate (100) towards the heel padding. The cup, when the user's heel presses on the compressible layer (100) the counter (16) heel 25 This can prevent the structural integrity of a part of the region from collapsing, and thus without the user's hands or an external shoe puller It can make it easier to put on the shoe. The user's heel fits perfectly into the shoe. When inserted, the compressible layer can rebound and hit the back of the user's heel, Force applied against the calcaneus bone and parts of the ankle region 30 This can be implemented, which provides comfort and secures the user's foot inside the shoe. It can help. 16 In addition to the sample application, the transverse seamless upper section of the ankle collar (140) Its cross-section is largely rounded. The ankle collar (140) has a front part (142) and a back part (144) can be separated. The front part and the back part each have an almost circular cross-section. or resembles a semicircular cross-section; where the radius of the front part is equal to the radius of the back part. It is larger than the radius. See Figures 18-19. The compressible layer is the inner 5 of the heel filler. textile material that directly coats or compressible layer material into its structure It can be secured via the sheath. Heel support with compressible heel pads. Another example. In practice, heel support padding (96) can partially form the outer layer of the shoe and As shown in Figures 20-22, the number of stitches from the inside to the outside of the shoe is 10. (16) can extend along the heel. In other applications, heel padding support along a section of the back of the shoe, along the entire back of the shoe or along the entire back of the shoe and towards the front patch of the shoe It can also extend. Heel support padding (96) provides height in different areas of the shoe. It may vary in terms of. In the example application, the heel support (96) 15 The height of the inner and outer ends is towards the base of the upper (16) just above the base (14). It decreases gradually. Heel padding support (96) is located on the inner side of the heel part of the upper. an inner side section with maximum height and on the side of the upper heel part It can have a maximum height. Heel support (96) of the upper (16) height It extends to at least a part of it. In the example application, the inner and outer sides of the counter (16) 20 The height of the heel sections (98) on the side is approximately 5 cm above the durable surface (116). It is on the heel counter support (96) on the inner and outer sides of the heel part. The maximum height is approximately 3 centimeters above the durable surface (116). Heel The height of the fill support (96) starts from the maximum height zone and counts (16) a gradual 25-degree area of ​​roughly equal height along the back of the heel (98). The height can decrease as follows. In the example application, the height along the heel part (98) of the upper (16), It extends roughly 3 centimeters on the durable surface (116) and heel padding a durable surface of roughly equal height to the part forming the back of the support (96) (116) is located at a height of roughly 2 centimeters. The heel support (96) can partially form the outer surface of the upper (16). 30 The heel support (96) is in contact with the outer surface of the heel part (98) of the upper (16). It may have an inner surface. Heel support padding (96), from the outer surface to the inner surface. It can have a variable thickness. In the example application, angled strips (102) heel 17 It forms the parts where the thickness of the padding support (96) is increased. Angled strips (102) heel It can provide more rigidity to the filler support (96) and into the compressible component (100) It can be configured to receive. In the example applications, angled strips (102) are placed on the inner and outer sides of the shoe (12). It has hollow protrusions where the ends of the compressible component (100) are fixed. Compressible 5 component (100) may be a type of pipe where each end of the pipe is hollow protrusions (102) It is fixed inside. The hollow protrusions of the angled strips (102) are the surfaces of the compressible component (100). It can extend partially or completely around. In the example application, the compressible component (100) made of polyoxymethylene or similar material with sufficient strength to support the weight of a foot. 10 hardness and the heel part of the shoe (12) can bend from the inside to the outside. It can be manufactured from another material with flexibility. The center of the compressible component (100) part (104) behind the ankle opening and on the heel padding (12) of the shoe It can extend. In the example application, the angled strips (102) compressible component (100), compressible component (100) through the hollow protrusions (102) towards the back of the shoe (12) It may be designed to be placed at an angle such that it extends with a proper slope (A2). 15 The backward slope (A2) of the compressible component (100) relative to a flat plane (88) of the base. It is approximately 45 degrees. See Figure 20A. The back of the upper (16) at the back of the heel opening. a foam layer (92) extending over the heel part (98), with compressible component (100) It may have a backward slope (A2) in the same direction. The foam layer (92) backward slope (A2), the user's foot into the shoe (12) 20 when putting on the shoe It can help with guidance. The central part (104) of the compressible component (100) the rearmost part of the counter (16) It can reach behind and be passed through one or more guide tunnels (106) in the saddle (16). In the example application, strips of leather material are sewn to the foam sheet (92) and the heel opening It extends towards the upper part at the back. The ends of the leather strip are 25 of the compressible component. They are sewn together to form guide tunnels (106) through which it passes. When wearing shoe 12, the user's foot can be compressed using the component (100) and / or the back. You can press the correctly angled foam sheet (92) down and towards the back of the shoe opening. When the user's foot is fully inserted into the shoe (12), the compressible component (100) and The backward-sloping foam layer (92) returns to its initial high position. 30 Additional inner heel support made of foam material (114), more on the Achilles tendon of the foot It can have enough thickness to help provide a good grip and allow the user to put the shoe on (12) When wearing it, the calcaneus bone may be located under the additional inner heel support (114). inner heel 18 support (114) is placed on the calcaneus bone after the foot is placed in the shoe. It may have a sufficient height to be able to take it. In addition to the example application, the shoe will grip the back of the heel. It may have a heel cup (52) made of a structured flexible material. In practice, the heel cup, also known as a heel pad, is a thermoplastic material that provides adequate support. It is a material. The inner heel support (114) is designed to provide the user's heel with the necessary comfort. It may be made of foam-based lining material. Although the present invention has been described above with reference to specific applications, without deviating from the intended scope of the invention, and changes in the underlying structure. It should be understood that variations can be made. 10
