Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide an incline to the forefoot part and the hindfoot part of the sole of a shoe so that an elderly person can easily shift the weight of the forefoot when walking. SOLUTION: A shoe sole heel part (2) of a shoe body (1).
From the front end inside part (X) to the front end outside part (X '), cut into a shape protruding obliquely forward by an angle of 15 degrees, and from the bottom rear end part (Y) of the sole heel part (2). In the walking shoes for the elderly in which the transition portion (Z) is cut at an appropriate angle (α) from the floor surface, the fifth metatarsophalange is also placed on the forefoot part (3) of the sole of the shoe body (1). A walking shoe for the elderly, characterized by being cut at an appropriate angle (β) from the floor surface from the inclined line (4) connecting the joint and the first metatarsophalangeal joint toward the toe.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to walking shoes for the elderly.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, "walking" has been the most basic exercise for us humans. "Walking" is thought to absorb large amounts of oxygen, activate heart rate, and thus improve blood circulation and help relieve stress.

[0003] In particular, it is expected as one of the prevention and treatment of adult diseases and chronic diseases of the elderly. Also, walking is considered to be much less burdensome on feet, lower back and heart compared to other sports such as jogging, safe, and extremely useful for maintaining and improving the health of middle and elderly people. Can be

[0004] The applicants of the present application have already obtained a utility model of registration No. 3040369, but have developed a walking shoe for the elderly that is easier to walk for the elderly, as a result of research. As shown in FIG. 4 (arrows indicate weight shift from the heel to the toe), when walking, the human lands on the heel and shifts his weight to the outside of the foot, that is, to the little toe. The kick is repeated inward from the base of the toe and further at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and finally, the tip of the toe is separated from the ground.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, the present invention makes it easier to walk by making the forefoot part of the shoe sole more inclined, so that the elderly can easily shift their weight when walking. It is intended to help the elderly to walk, and to develop tired walking shoes.

[0006]

The present invention is based on the idea that, when a person walks, the toes usually open slightly outward, and this angle is called the walking angle or the foot angle, the normal value is 15 degrees, and When a person's gait falls with the ankle muscles relaxed, the angle between the sole and the floor is approximately 15 degrees, regardless of age, regardless of age, while the angle at which the foot is stepped on. That is, when the heel touches the ground during walking, the angle between the sole and the floor is said to be 25 degrees for young people, but 20 degrees for elderly people.

The angle difference is considered to be caused by the stride (step length) due to age. According to scholars, the stride of the elderly is reported to be shorter than that of the young.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a walking shoe for the elderly, which cuts the heel of the shoe sole of the shoe body so that it can be easily walked, raises the toe by 20 degrees, and further adjusts the heel to the walking angle and the foot angle of 15 degrees. -A part near the heel of the toe, that is, a step part having a step having an angle of 15 degrees is provided in the foot arch part, and the forefoot part of the sole of the shoe itself is 5 A walking shoe for the elderly, which is cut at an appropriate angle from the floor from the inclined line connecting the metatarsophalangeal joint and the first metatarsophalangeal joint toward the toe.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the shoe body (1), from the inside of the front end (X) of the heel portion (2) of the sole to the outside (X ') of the front end. Cut from the rear end (Y) of the sole of the sole (2) of the shoe sole (2) to the transition (Z) at an appropriate angle (α) from the floor surface. In the walking shoes for the elderly characterized by being cut, the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint and the first metatarsophalangeal joint are also provided on the forefoot part (3) of the shoe body (1). It consists of walking shoes for the elderly cut from the floor surface at an appropriate angle (β) from the inclined line (4) connecting the parts to the toe.

[0010] A suitable angle (α) between the rear end (Y) of the bottom surface of the sole of the sole (2) and the transition portion (Z) with respect to the floor surface is preferably 7 ° to 15 °, and The inclined line (4) connecting the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint and the first metatarsophalangeal joint is at an angle of 13 degrees diagonally forward from the front outer side near the toe to the front inner side. The appropriate angle (β) from the floor surface from the inclined line (4) toward the toe portion is also preferably 7 ° to 15 °.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, the inside (X) of the front end of the heel portion of the shoe body is cut at an angle of 15 degrees from the inside to the outside, so that the heel portion is stable and therefore easy to walk. The portion from the bottom rear end (Y) of the portion (2) to the transition portion (Z) is cut at 15 degrees from the floor surface, and when walking, the bottom of the heel portion extends 15 degrees over the transition portion (Z). Because the toe rises at an angle, it is close to the stepping angle of the elderly at 20 degrees, making it easy to walk, and the bottom of the heel (2) of the sole is inclined so that the inside is 4 mm lower than the outside. And from the rear end (Y) of the sole of the sole of the sole to the transition (Z) at an appropriate angle from the floor surface, and further, the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint and the first metatarsal To cut from the floor surface at an appropriate angle from the inclined line (4) connecting the joint to the toe, It is in line with the turn, but to achieve the easy and the like that very beneficial effect walking elderly.
