Footwear

Abstract

Footwear is provided which enables each component to be separated, to be unified as a whole without looseness, and various combinations of design with color to be realized. The sole holder assembly 11 has a sole assembly 111 and a holder portion 112 to cover the sole assembly 111 from a lower side. The sole assembly 111 has the first sole portion 1111, second sole portion 1112, and pins 1113 to fix these components. Each of the first sole portion 1111 and second sole portion 1112 has a shape that allows these two portions to be connected in an engaged manner and, with these components being connected to each other in an engaged manner, at least part of the first sole portion 1111 is located so as to be in contact with an upper portion of at least part of the second sole portion 1112 and at least part of the second sole portion 1112 is located so as to be in contact with an upper portion of at least part of the first sole portion 1111.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to footwear and particularly to assembly-type footwear.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally-available footwear is formed in a manner in which an instep leather portion, inner sole portion, and outer sole portion are fixed as a whole. As a result, it is, in general, impossible for a user to change design and / or color of the footwear fixedly assembled.[0005]Under the present conditions or circumstances, a user possesses a plurality of pairs of footwear and selects one pair of footwear each time so as to match the footwear to design and / or color of clothes to put on and / or a bag or the like to carry.[0006]To solve such problems as above, following methods for solving are disclosed. For example, separable-type shoes are disclosed in Patent Reference 1 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-512471) which enable only an instep leather portion to be replaced by separat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide footwear which enables each component to be separated, to be unified as a whole without looseness, and various combinations of design with color to be realized.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, it is, in general, impossible for a user to change design and / or color of the footwear fixedly assembled.

However, the above conventional technologies have difficulties described below.

That is, in the above technologies, each component making up footwear can be separated from each other, however, due to its separable structure, it has now become difficult to fitly and tightly unify the whole components without looseness.

That is, the weight of a user is loaded on footwear which causes a fear that the footwear is broken depending on the application of stress.
