An upper includes an upper body covering the instep of a foot. An upper body includes a first layer, a second layer disposed with a gap from the first layer, and a third layer connecting the first layer and the second layer. A part of the upper body is disposed with a low stiffness region having lower stiffness than an adjacent region. At least a part of the low stiffness region has a point in which the third layer is not disposed. A plurality of holes is disposed in at least a part of a portion of the first layer and the second layer of the low stiffness region corresponding to the point in which the third layer is not disposed.

Upper and shoe including the same

A shoe sole includes a midsole and an outsole. The midsole has a first protruding portion at a location on a medial foot side and a rear end side of the shoe sole, and the outsole has a first cover portion covering the first protruding portion. The first cover portion includes a first bottom wall portion prescribing a ground contact surface, and a first side wall portion erected from a peripheral edge of the first bottom wall portion on the medial foot side. A first ridgeline that is a boundary between the first bottom wall portion and the first side wall portion is located so as to separate from a first outline of the first cover portion prescribed by the first side wall portion from a front side specific location toward a rear side specific location, in a case when seen along a normal direction of the ground contact surface.

Shoe sole and shoe

The shoeincludes the outer solebrought in contact with the road surface, the midsolearranged on the outer sole, and the uppercovering the foot from the upper side. The midsoleincludes at the middle foot portion the cut-out portionand the like opened to the outside and closed at the middle portion in the width direction.

Shoe

A shoe includes a midsole and an upper joined to the midsole. A joint position between the midsole and a base end part of the upper is located inside in a width direction with respect to an outer circumferential edge of a top surface of the midsole. The shoe in another aspect includes the midsole, a first upper joined to the midsole, and a second upper disposed on the outside in a width direction of the first upper. A first joint position between the midsole and the base end part of the first upper is located on the inside in a width direction of a second joint position between the midsole and a base end part of the second upper, and an upper edge of the second upper is joined to the first upper.

A sole of a shoe includes a forefoot support portion Rthat supports a forefoot of a foot of a wearer, a midfoot support portion that supports a midfoot of the foot of the wearer, and a rearfoot support portion that supports a rearfoot of the foot of the wearer, which are connected in order from a front side toward a rear side. A ground contact portion having a portion positioned on a lowermost line connecting a lowermost point of the forefoot support portion and a lowermost point of the rearfoot support portion in a side view is formed in a medial-foot-side region of a bottom surface of the midfoot support portion. A protrusion protruding toward the medial foot side is formed on a medial-foot-side side surface of the midfoot support portion.

Sole of shoe and shoe

A shoe tongue structure includes a first shoe tongue and a second shoe tongue arranged such as to cover an opening of an upper extending frontward from a foot insertion part. The first shoe tongue includes a first front end fixed to an edge of the opening and extends rearward from the first front end toward the lateral side of the foot insertion part. The second shoe tongue includes a second front end fixed to an edge of the opening and extends rearward from the second front end toward the medial side of the foot insertion part. The first front end is positioned on the medial side with respect to the second front end.

Shoe tongue structure and shoe

The present invention provides a shoe having a simpler structure compared to patent document JP-A 2010-162318, with reduced discomfort and enhanced repulsive force. According to an aspect of certain embodiments of the present invention, a shoecomprising: a middle solehaving a foot contacting surfaceand a ground contacting surface; an upper at least partially covering the foot contacting surfaceof the middle sole; and an elastic structurecurving upwards towards the rear direction at least from the outer foot side of the ground contacting surface is provided. With such configuration, discomfort can be reduced and repulsive force can be enhanced.

Shoe including an elastic structure

A shoe includes: an upper; a tightening tool disposed above an instep of a wearer and capable of applying, to the upper, tightening force for drawing portions and on the both sides in a foot width direction of the upper; and an arch support part provided such that tightening force applied to a first side portion in a foot width direction of the upper can be transmitted to the arch support part. The tightening force transmitter has stretchability in foot girth directions set higher than that of the arch support part.

A shoe includes a sole provided with a ground contact surface, an upper provided with an opening into which a foot of a wearer is inserted, the upper being attached to the sole and covering the foot of the wearer, and a correction member including an inner arm fixed to a medial foot side of the opening of the upper, an outer arm fixed to a lateral foot side of the opening of the upper, and a connection portion connecting the inner arm and the outer arm, the correction member being attached to the upper away from the sole in such a manner that the connection portion is disposed on a rear side of the opening.

Shoe including correction member attached to upper

A shoe sole includes an outsole having a contact surface, and a midsole arranged over the outsole, contacting with the outsole. The midsole defines a tunnel-shaped or groove-shaped hollow extending in a front-rear direction of a shoe. At least a part of the hollow is formed in a tunnel shape.

Shoe sole

There is provided a footwear capable of efficiently removing vibrations of specific frequencies that could propagate to the human body upon landing during running or walking. A footwear includes a sole; an upper connected to an upper-side perimeter region of the sole; and a vibration absorbing unit which absorbs vibration generated by an impact upon landing. The vibration absorbing unit includes a platy flexible support portion which has a smaller rigidity in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction, and a weight portion provided in the support portion. The support portion is fixed to the sole or the upper, surrounding a perimeter of the weight portion.
