Description

Full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes

[0001] The present invention relates to a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes, and more specifically, to a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes, which can be easily attached to and detached from the sole of a general shoe, thus providing a high level of convenience of use, and which has a plurality of synthetic resin protrusions protruding from the lower surface thereof, and which is configured such that the height of the outer sole and the front end of both feet are thicker than the thickness of other soles, and the height of the other portion is treated as an inclined surface, thereby better maintaining the body rotation axis.

[0002] As is well known, a golf swing generally consists of a stance, which determines the position of both feet at an appropriate distance from the ball; an address, which positions the head of the golf club on the ground behind the ball and takes an appropriate posture to hit the ball; a backswing, which moves the golf club back and lifts it up; a downswing, which pulls the golf club down to hit the ball in the backswing state; an impact, which is when the head of the downswing golf club hits the ball; and a finish, which is when the swing is completed as the golf club (head) continues to push the ball due to inertia after hitting the ball.

[0003] During the backswing, as the golf club moves backward, the body weight moves to the right, and the force is concentrated on the outside of the right foot, as indicated by the dotted circle in Figure 1. If the body cannot support the shifted body weight and is pushed out beyond the appropriate point on the right, a strong downswing using the body weight cannot be performed, and thus the ball cannot be sent far.

[0004] The same applies to the downswing. In other words, if your body axis moves toward the target during the downswing, you will not be able to make a strong downswing, and therefore will not be able to send the ball far.

[0005] Additionally, when addressing while wearing conventional golf shoes, the body moves to the right or left with respect to the ball position, which reduces the accuracy of hitting the ball at impact.

[0006] Therefore, when the body moves excessively left and right during a golf swing, the ball striking power is lost and the accuracy of the ball striking is also lost. This phenomenon is called sway. To prevent sway, bringing both knees together can be said to be the basic posture for a golf swing.

[0007] However, if a golfer wears conventional golf shoes with a flat sole and is not careful to prevent sway by bringing both knees together to create a gap between the outside or inside of both golf shoes and the ground, there is a problem that the golfer's body can easily move left and right, which can cause sway.

[0008] Meanwhile, there are so many items that golfers need to pack for a round of golf that it is cumbersome and they often miss them, and one of those golf items is golf shoes. Unlike regular shoes, golf shoes have spikes protruding from the bottom to prevent the feet from slipping during a golf swing, or there are spikeless products that have rubber protrusions made of urethane or other rubber products that act as spikes.

[0009] However, the golf shoes that golfers must carry when going on a round of golf are very bulky and heavy, so there was a problem that it was inconvenient to carry them.

[0010] Also, if a golfer forgets to bring golf shoes, there is the inconvenience of having to use a rental product, and in the case of golf shoes with spikes on the sole, it is very common for some of the spikes to be damaged, and it is difficult to replace them with new golf shoes each time, and in some cases, the damage to the spikes is not even noticed, but if the spikes are damaged during a round, there are cases where the golfer cannot quickly get golf shoes, which sometimes ruins the round for that day.

[0011] Meanwhile, in the case of golf shoes with spikes on the sole, there was the inconvenience of having to change back to regular shoes in such situations because the spikes were uncomfortable when walking on regular roads or sidewalks and were very uncomfortable when driving.

[0012] In addition, with the recent revitalization of the golf industry, many golf-related promotional items are being produced, and most of them are distributed by printing company names or logos on golf markers, golf tees, or golf balls. However, these items can be easily lost, and the printed text can be easily erased, which inevitably reduces the promotional effect.

[0013] Meanwhile, in the case of general golf shoes, the thickness of the sole is configured uniformly, but when a golfer actually swings, centrifugal force is generated due to the rotation of the body as well as the rotation of the club held by the arms, and this centrifugal force acts in the direction of twisting the body's center of gravity, causing sway, and this sway is the cause of a major miss shot.

[0014] Sway can occur depending on the rotation of the body and the rotational trajectory of the club, and can appear as a result of rotation at any position from the backswing and impact to the finish. When sway occurs, the body's rotational axis shakes, making it very difficult to hit the golf ball squarely.

[0015] The present invention has been made in consideration of the circumstances of the above-mentioned prior art, and has a purpose of providing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes, which can be easily attached to and detached from the sole of a general shoe, thus providing a very high level of convenience of use, and which has a plurality of synthetic resin protrusions protruding from the lower surface, and which is configured such that the height of the outer sole and the front part of both feet are thicker than the thickness of other soles, and the height of the other part is treated as an inclined surface, thereby better maintaining the body rotation axis.

[0016] In order to achieve the above object, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided, which comprises: a plate-shaped body (6) which is configured to be in close contact with the lower part of a general shoe (2) and has a plurality of support protrusions (18) protruding from the lower surface thereof; a front insertion hole (10) and a rear insertion hole (14) which are respectively formed in a front end portion and a rear end portion of the body (6); a front fastening portion (12) and a rear fastening portion (16) which can be fastened to the front and rear portions of the shoe (2) respectively by the front insertion hole (10) and the rear insertion hole (14); and wherein the support protrusions (18) are configured with a composite support surface structure for preventing sway in a forward and outward direction during an address, thereby preventing a motion error in which the body is tilted toward the ball due to the left-right sway and the centrifugal force of the club during a golf swing.

[0017] Preferably, a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided, characterized in that the body (6) is formed to be curved upward at a certain angle, thereby increasing ground contact when worn.

[0018] Preferably, the support protrusion (18) is a protrusion embossed in the shape of text, and a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided, characterized by being any one of a company name, a product name, a service name, and a slogan.

[0019] Preferably, a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided in which the composite support surface structure of the support protrusion (18) is uniformly configured to have a protrusion height of 5 mm in a width of a predetermined length in the transverse direction of the front end thereof, and a protrusion height of 5 mm in a width of a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of an outer part of the body, and a part other than this part is sloped to have a maximum height of 5 mm and a minimum height of 2.5 mm.

[0020] Preferably, a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided, characterized in that the front insertion hole (10) is configured in a circular or oval shape to facilitate insertion into the front end of the shoe, and the rear insertion hole (14) is configured in a crescent shape to facilitate hooking onto the rear end of the shoe.

[0021] Preferably, a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes is provided, characterized in that the body (6) has a central cutout (8) in the shape of an oval or a long hole formed in the central portion to enable smoother weight transfer from the front to the rear of the sole during the golfer's swing.

[0022] The full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to the present invention has the effect of being attached and detached to the sole of a regular shoe and fixed in the same way as a golf shoe, so it is very convenient because there is no need to carry a separate pair of heavy golf shoes. In addition, the thickness of the front end and the outside of the sole of both feet is configured to be thicker than the thickness of the other sole, and at the same time, the text support protrusions on the sole have an inclined surface so that both feet can come toward the center, so that the body rotation axis can be better maintained. In addition, it can be easily attached to any shoe, so it has the effect of having golf shoes of various designs. In addition, the sole pad can be easily detached from the shoe during a round of golf, while walking in a shade house, or after a round of golf, so it has the advantage of quickly returning to a regular shoe. In addition, the text support protrusions formed on the sole can be embossed with various information such as a company name, product name, or service name, so it has the advantage of being suitable for promotional items or gifts.

[0029] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a state in which a golfer wearing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention addresses the ball.

[0030] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention mounted on a shoe, FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to this, a full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is very convenient to use because it can be easily attached to and detached from the sole of a general shoe, and a plurality of synthetic resin protrusions are protruded on the lower surface thereof, and the height of the outer sole and the front end of both feet is configured to be thicker than the thickness of other soles, and the height of the area excluding that area is processed as an inclined surface, thereby being a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes to better maintain the body rotation axis.

[0033] A full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is a detachable structure that can be worn or removed by attaching it to a regular shoe (2), and can be installed not only on a regular shoe (2) but also on spikeless golf shoes to firmly fix the slippery regular shoe (2) to the ground so that a golf swing can be performed, and can also be worn on golf shoes with small spikes or easy wear, such as spikeless golf shoes, to firmly fix the user's lower body to the ground so that a golf swing can be performed.

[0034] More specifically, a full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plate-shaped body (6) that is configured to be in close contact with the lower part of a general shoe (2) and has a plurality of support protrusions (18) protruding from the lower surface thereof; a front insertion hole (10) and a rear insertion hole (14) formed respectively at a front end portion and a rear end portion of the body (6); and a front fastening portion (12) and a rear fastening portion (16) that can be fastened to the front and rear portions of the shoe (2) respectively by the front insertion hole (10) and the rear insertion hole (14).

[0035] At this time, the support protrusion (18) is made of a composite support surface structure to prevent sway in the forward and outward direction when addressing, thereby preventing motion errors in which the body is tilted toward the ball due to left and right sway and centrifugal force of the club during a golf swing.

[0036] That is, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention can prevent sway toward the right side of the golfer during a backswing, prevent sway toward the golf ball during impact with the golf ball, and prevent sway toward the left side of the golfer during a finish due to the composite support surface structure of the support protrusion (18).

[0037] In addition, the front insertion hole (10) is configured in a circular or oval shape to facilitate insertion into the front end of the shoe. When the front fastening part (12) is held and pulled while inserting the front insertion hole (10) into the front end of the shoe, the insertion is performed easily and conveniently.

[0038] Preferably, the rear insertion hole (14) is configured in a crescent shape so that it can be easily caught on the rear end of the shoe. When the front insertion hole (10) is caught on the front of the shoe (2) and the rear fastening part (16) is pulled backward, the elastic body (6) exerts a restoring force and exerts a resistance against the force pulling the rear fastening part (16) backward.

[0039] In that state, when the crescent-shaped rear insertion hole (14) is inserted into the heel area of ​​the shoe and hung, the restoring force of the body (6) is applied so that the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is firmly mounted on the shoe (2).

[0040] More preferably, the body (6) of the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed to be curved upward at a certain angle as shown in Fig. 4, thereby forming a structure in which ground contact force is increased when worn (indicated by θ1).

[0041] Meanwhile, a full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention has an oval or long hole-shaped central cutout (8) formed in the central portion of the body (6). This central cutout (8) enables a smoother weight transfer from the front to the rear of the sole of the golfer's foot during a swing, and a support protrusion (18) cannot be formed in the central cutout (8).

[0042] In addition, the above-mentioned support protrusion (18) is a protrusion embossed in the shape of text, and by making one of the company name, product name, service name, and slogan protrude in the shape of text, it not only exhibits excellent fixation to the ground, but also can function as an excellent marketing tool to inform about the company, product, or service.

[0043] The full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention having the above-described structure can be installed on a cart before the golfer goes up to the tee box, and thus, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention can easily change even regular shoes into golf shoes.

[0044] In addition, the golfer can easily detach the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention from the shoe during a round of golf, while walking in a shade house, or after a round of golf is finished, so that the golfer can quickly return to normal shoes.

[0045] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the bottom state of a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a rear view showing a state in which a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a shoe, and FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a state in which a golfer wearing a full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention addresses the ball.

[0046] Referring to this, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured so that the outer side of both feet is thicker than the inner side in terms of the thickness of the body (6), and the front end is also configured so as to be thicker than other parts in the transverse direction, so that both legs of the golfer are naturally gathered inward when addressing the golf ball, and sway can be prevented during the swing motion.

[0047] That is, the outer thickness of the bottom in the backswing direction of the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention fixed to the right shoe at address is configured to be thicker than the inner thickness, and the outer thickness of the bottom in the target direction of the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention fixed to the left shoe is configured to be thicker than the inner thickness.

[0048] In addition, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed so that the front end of the bottom is uniformly thicker than other parts in order to prevent the golfer's body from collapsing toward the golf ball due to centrifugal force when impacting the golf ball.

[0049] In more detail, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention has a composite support surface structure of the support protrusion (18) that is uniformly configured with a predetermined length and width in the transverse direction of the front end and a protrusion height of 5 mm, and a predetermined length and width in the longitudinal direction on the outer part of the body and a protrusion height of 5 mm, which appears to form a uniform support protrusion in the shape of the letter "ㄱ" at the front end and the outer part of the bottom surface.

[0050] In addition, the area except the front end and the outer part of the bottom surface is sloped from the highest height of 5 mm to the lowest height of 2.5 mm, and as shown in Fig. 5, it is cut sloped toward the inside of the shoe, so that the height of the central part can be 4 mm or 3 mm, which is an ergonomic 3D alignment (indicated by θ2).

[0051] Therefore, due to the difference in the bottom thickness of the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention, when addressing a golf ball, the golfer's both legs naturally gather inward like the shoe shape of the dotted line shown in FIG. 7, and sway can be prevented during the swing motion, and when impacting a golf ball, the golfer's body is supported so that it is not pushed toward the ball by centrifugal force, and as a result, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention can play a role in making the center of the golfer's body gather inward during addressing, providing stability, and supporting the rotation axis better while facilitating the transfer of the golfer's weight during the swing.

[0052] At this time, the body (6) and the support protrusion (18) are made of synthetic resin mainly composed of rubber or silicone, so compared to general spike materials, the golfer does not generate noise when walking and has a better walking feel.

[0053] Meanwhile, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention can be designed to have a bottom surface that can reduce mistakes based on body movements caused by mistakes made during a golfer's swing. In the case of golf beginners, the center of gravity is often shifted toward the ball during the swing, causing the backswing.

[0054] Accordingly, the full-type shoe pad (4) for changing golf shoes according to one embodiment of the present invention is designed so that the front part of the bottom surface is higher than the back part, i.e., thicker.

[0055] Meanwhile, the full-type shoe pad for changing golf shoes according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but various changes are possible within a range that does not deviate from the technical gist thereof.
