Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show slippers or sandal type footwear, 1 is a footwear body having a footrest 2 on the front and a bottom surface 3 of the footrest on the back, and at least a central portion C in the length direction is bendable. Flexible material.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an inclined member which is arranged so as to be higher from the central portion C of the bottom surface 3 toward the toe portion 1a or the heel portion 1b, has a non-equilateral longitudinal section, and has an acute-angle base portion 4a. Is rotated approximately half a turn in the front-rear direction (= longitudinal direction) of the footwear with a hinge member 5 such as a strong adhesive tape on the bottom surface 3 of the central portion C.
(Rotated 180 degrees) so that it can be folded back. Also,
An extended edge 4a 'may be formed in the base portion 4a and this edge may be fixed with an adhesive. The inclined member 4 may be made of semi-rigid rubber, synthetic resin, or other appropriate material, and may be solid as a whole or may be partially cut to form the concave groove 4b. it can. Although the inclination angle θ of the inclination member 4 is arbitrary,
A range of 0 degrees is desirable.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a stopper provided on the distal end surface on the thick bottom side of the inclined member 4, and 7 denotes a receiver for the stopper, which is the outer distal end surface of the toe 1 a of the footrest 2 and the heel of the footrest 2. It is provided on the rear end face of the portion 1b. The stopper 6 and the receiving member 7 shown in the figure use hook-and-loop fasteners. In the stopper 6, hooks (or loops) are attached to the front and back surfaces of the tip of a thin band 6a whose base is attached to be rotatable about a shaft 6b. ) Is attached, and the receiving member 7 is a loop body (or a hook). Other fasteners and receivers include snaps, rubber, magnets, strings, and the like.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show shoes of the shoe type. The footrest 2, the bottom surface 3 of the footrest, and the inclined member 4 are substantially the same as those of the slipper or sandal type, but the hinge member is inclined. An extension edge 4a 'of the base end portion 4a of the member 4 is connected to the bottom surface 3 so as to be able to make a half turn in the horizontal direction (= plane direction) using a mounting shaft 5'. Further, the stopper and the receiver are provided with a hook button 6 'and a button hole 7' thereof.

[0009]

[Specific use example] Next, a specific use of the slipper or sandal type footwear shown in Figs. 1 to 6 is as follows.
That is, the inclined member 4 on the bottom surface of the footwear main body in FIG. 1 is vertically folded from the center portion C of the bottom surface to the toe portion via the hinge member 5, and the toe portion 1 a is arranged at a high position. Is fixed to the receiving member 7 at the toe.

In this case, the stopper 6 is folded back from the shaft 6b at the base of the narrow band body 6a, and is fixed to the receiver 7 on the toe side by the stopper 6. Alternatively, the strip body 6a is rotated halfway around the shaft 6b from the base, and is fixed to the toe-side receiving tool 7 with the stopper 6.

When the toe portion 1a is in a high position, the heel portion 1b is low and the toe portion 1a is in a high position when the footwear body 1 is worn on a foot sitting on a stool.

In the shoe type of FIGS. 6 to 8, the inclined member 4 mounted on the bottom surface 3 of the main body of footwear via the axial hinge member 5 'is rotated halfway in the lateral direction along the bottom surface, and the toe portion is formed. 1a is arranged at a high position, and is fastened and fixed by a stopper 6 'and its receiver 7'.

Next, when trying to raise the heel 1b of the sandal / slipper type footwear body 1 for walking, FIG.
After the stopper 6 and the receiving member 7 are removed, the inclined member 4 is turned back halfway (= longitudinal direction) by the hinge member 5 to be turned back, and the toe portion 1a is raised and the stopper 6 is moved to the toe portion. To the receiving device 7. As a result, the heel portion 1b becomes a footwear that is higher than the toe portion 1a. The fastening procedure of the stopper 6 and the receiving member 7 in this case is the same as that of the above-mentioned sandal type / slipper type.

In order to raise the heel 1b of the shoe-type footwear main body in FIG. 6, the hook button type stopper 6 'and the button hole type receiver 7' are removed, and the inclined member 4 is connected to the shaft type hinge member 5 '. Then, the stopper 6 'is fixed to the heel receiving member 7' by making a half turn in the lateral direction along the bottom surface around the center. At this time, the narrow band 6a of the stopper 6 'is rotated half a turn about the axis 6b, and is fixed to the receiving member 7' by the stopper.

[0015]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to improve the resting effect by putting on the toe and raising the toe higher than the heel, and to make the heel higher than the toe to facilitate walking. One pair of footwear can also be used. The footwear worn on the feet while sitting on a chair or other seat for a long time has the following effects because it is higher on the toe than on the heel. That is, by raising the toe portion of the footwear higher than the heel portion, the Achilles tendon and calf are stretched and extended, and blood flow is improved. In addition, the angle of the knee while sitting on the seat changes, and the pressure on the thigh artery can be reduced. Subsequently, the contact surface between the buttocks and the chair is widened, and fatigue caused by sitting for a long time can be reduced. The heel can be raised by half-turning the inclined member in the state where the toe is high in the backward direction or half-turning along the bottom surface of the footwear, so that the body balance is good when walking such as standing in hand washing. Can be used as ordinary footwear. When the inclined member is turned halfway to the toe portion or the heel portion of the footwear, the operation is performed by holding the stopper of the inclined member, so that the hands are not stained. Furthermore, by attaching a snap, a hook-and-loop fastener, rubber, a magnet, a string, or the like as a stopper and a receiver, it has a function as a handle and a function as a fixture. In addition, the stopper of the inclined member is provided on the distal end surface of the inclined member, and the receiving device for the stopper is provided on the distal end surface of the toe side and the rear end surface of the heel portion, so that they come into contact when worn on the foot. There is no discomfort to the feet because there is no.
