Flat arch correction training shoe

Abstract

The invention pertains to a foot arch correction training shoe with a uniquely designed sole for enhanced arch training during walking. The sole comprises a front part, a middle part, and a rear part. The front part includes a transitional zoom and a toe support zoom, facilitating a point of force during walking for effective arch muscle training. The toe support zoom lies on a second horizontal surface, lower than the first horizontal surface on which the middle and rear parts of the sole rest. The transitional zoom features toe grip patterns for improved safety, and the shoe upper straddles the sole's sides for a secure fit. The shoe upper also includes decorative bumps for aesthetic appeal. The angle between the transitional zoom's inclined surface and the second horizontal surface ranges between 120 and 165, ensuring optimal foot slope for both comfort and arch correction effectiveness.

(12) Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a foot arch correction training shoe includes a sole 1, the middle and rear part of the sole 1 is a foot support part 11, and the foot support part 11 includes the middle and the rear part. Where, the middle and the rear part, which lays on a first horizontal surface. The front part of the sole 1 is a toe recessed part or called toe support area 12, and the toe support area lays on a second horizontal surface, and the second horizontal surface is located below the first horizontal surface; and the front edge of the foot support part 11 slopes downward towards the toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 to form a sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13; when wearing the training shoe for walking, the toes can buckle inwards on the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13. Using this structure, by setting foot support part 11, toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 on the sole 1, and connecting the foot support part with the toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 through the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13; that is, when the user wears the foot arch correction training shoe for walking, the user can naturally buckle the toes on the sloping transition surface to form a force point, and the muscles of the foot arch can be sufficiently trained when walking naturally, which is convenient and practical.

(13) In one embodiment, the entire sole can be one-piece, or it can be made up of different parts, which are combined with glue or some fixed methods.

(14) In this embodiment, the toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 extends along the width direction of the sole 1; one end of the toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 is connected to the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13, and the other end of the toe recessed part or called toe support area 12 extends along the length direction of the sole 1. In this embodiment, a toe ground grip pattern 13a is provided on the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13; the toe ground grip pattern 13a is integrated with the sole 1, and the number of toe ground grip patterns 13a is five. With this structure, by reasonably setting the number of toe ground grip patterns 13a, the grip of the toes on the sole 1 is greatly increased. In this embodiment, it also includes a shoe upper 2, the shoe upper 2 is bridged on both sides of the sole 1 in the width direction of the sole 1; the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13 is located in front of the shoe upper 2. With this structure, it is conducive to wearing the foot arch correction training shoe. In this embodiment, several decorative protrusions 21 are provided on the outer surface of the shoe upper 2. With this structure, the decorative protrusions 21 are set to improve the aesthetics.

(15) The heel and arch (include palm) of the foot are on the first horizontal surface. The toe part is on the second horizontal surface, The first horizontal surface is higher than the second horizontal surface. Moreover, the heel and arch (include palm) of the foot are touching the first horizontal surface, which support the entire heel and arch portion of the foot, there may be a protrusion at the arch area of foot but the first horizontal surface is not at the top of protrusion, it is at the base touch the most area of heel and arch and palm.

(16) In this embodiment, the angle a between the sloping transition surface and the upper end face of the toe recessed part is 120165, preferably 145.

(17) When the human foot wears the training shoe of this utility model, first put the foot through the shoe upper 2, then place the foot board on the foot support part 11. When walking, in order to make the training shoe fit better, the toes will naturally buckle downwards and bend onto the sloping transition surface or called transitional area 13 for foot arch training, at which time the foot arch can be lifted due to the downward bending of the toes, playing a role in training the foot arch. The above is only the best embodiment of this utility model, and it is not intended to limit this utility model.
