Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve ventilation inside a shoe to mitigate a sensation of discomfort due to musty state by a method wherein two or more recessed air spaces are uniformly arranged on the downside of an insole of the shoe, and vent holes are perforated in the insole from the air spaced through to the upside and communicate with each other via communication grooves formed on the downside of the insole. SOLUTION: An insole 1 of a shoe includes an insole base frame 3 formed in such a way that an insole base material is hollowed out inside by leaving a peripheral edge of a specified width a cushioning material that is fitted and attached in the insole base frame 3, an insole base frame fitting part 5, and a core material 7 and a shank 9 that are attached on the downside of the insole 1. A number of hemispherical air spaces 11 are uniformly formed on the downside of the insole base frame fitting part 5, and vent holes 13 are perforated from the tops of the air spaces 11 through to the upside and communicate with the outside. The air spaces 11 communicate with each other via communicating grooves 15 formed on the downside of the insole base frame fitting part 5 with the air space 11 as the centers.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for improving the breathability of a shoe with a sole, that is, for relieving the discomfort caused by stuffiness, to keep the inside of the shoe clean, the material of the sole has breathability or hygroscopicity. There are known methods such as use, or one in which a plurality of holes are formed at predetermined locations on the insole.

However, in the case of using a material for the insole which is freely breathable or hygroscopic, the shoes may be worn for a long time to increase the humidity inside the shoes or the humidity in the outside air such as rain. Then, humidity will cause dew condensation to block the ventilation holes of the insole material and reduce the air permeability, and when the moisture absorption capacity of the insole material itself is exceeded, it is no longer possible to absorb the moisture in the shoe. I can't expect. Further, even when a plurality of holes are formed at predetermined locations on the insole, the original function of the insole material is not exerted in the above state, and the stuffiness inside the shoe is only slightly resolved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, instead of the one provided with the ventilation means and the cushion means on the entire surface from the heel to the toe as described above, the one provided only on the stepped portion or as shown in FIG. It may be provided only on the heel portion. In this case, the insole base frame 3 is formed by hollowing out the inner stepped part of the insole in the former case, and the inner heel part of the insole in the latter case while leaving the outer edge part of a predetermined width. It is formed.
