PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure smooth walking for a person with degenerative disorder, e.g. hallux valgus or rheumatoid arthritis, by reducing the dorsiflexion angle of metatarsophalangeal joints Fa of a foot F to reduce pain with walking.SOLUTION: A toe dorsiflexion portion 13 is formed into a downward projection shape across the transverse direction of a shoe sole, a portion 15 on the toe side from the toe dorsiflexion portion 13 is formed so as to have a thickness gradually reduced along the toe direction of the shoe sole, and the dorsiflexion portion 13 undergoes slip prevention processing.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】外反母趾、関節リウマチ等の変形疾患を有する人であっても、足Fの中足趾節関節Faの背屈角度を小さくして、歩行に伴う疼痛を低減しつつ、スムーズな歩行を確保すること。【解決手段】踏み返し部分13が靴底横方向に亘って下向きに凸状に形成され、踏み返し部分13よりも爪先側の部分15が靴底母趾方向に沿って徐々に薄くなるように形成され、踏み返し部分13に滑り止め処理が施されていること。【選択図】 図1
