Problems solved by technology

To date, there has not been a complete orthopedic shoe system in which parts of the shoe are interchangeable in order to fit the specific needs of the user
[0005] Additionally, many current user-adjustable orthotic devices rely on hook and loop attachment systems (e.g., Velcro TM ) and other weak fastening mechanisms (which may easily dislodge due to vigorous activity)

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention provides a universal and robust shoe system that can be adjusted by the user. The outsole, midsole, and insole each having specific ergonomic characteristics can be combined to form a corrective shoe sole. In addition, a metatarsal pad can be added on the top of the insole, and a support insert can be attached under the insole at the heel area or arch area of ​​the foot. The upper can then be attached to the sole to form a complete shoe. As the user's needs change, the shoes can be disassembled and reassembled with parts with different ergonomic characteristics, resulting in different shoes. Compared with traditional custom-made orthoses, this universal system saves users a lot of cost. As an example, if the user's gait changes such that the user needs a more rigid insole, the user only needs to purchase a more rigid insole. Then, using a harder insole and the components in the shoes he currently has, the user can construct shoes that are more su...

Abstract

The present invention provides an orthotic footwear system comprising a removable outsole, a removable reinforced hollow midsole attached to the top of the outsole, and a removable insole attached tothe top of the midsole. A removable metatarsal pad can be attached to the top of the insole, and removable support inserts can be attached around the insole for additional support of problematic areas. Support inserts can be used to support the arch area, the heel area, or both. Each of the removable parts can be interchanged with parts of the same type having different ergonomic characteristics.The user can change the parts of the orthotic to suit their needs. Further, the support inserts can be used apart from the rest of the system, with any insole configured to receive them.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to orthopedic shoes. More specifically, the present invention relates to a customizable orthopedic shoe system. Background technique [0002] Customized orthotics can help improve the user's posture, gait, balance and overall health. For example, a common foot disease called "excessive pronation" (where the arch and ankle are turned toward the ground with each step) can have a great adverse effect on health, endurance, and comfort. Customized correction devices that provide additional arch support can correct excessive internal rotation and improve the user's health. [0003] Unfortunately, most customized orthoses are customized and made to order, so they cannot be changed. These orthoses are usually designed and manufactured by third-party companies based on a static model of the user's foot at a certain moment, and usually cannot be changed once formed. However, the user's gait often changes over time, and once this change...
