Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to a heel guide tool set in the back of a shoe and, more particularly, to a guide tool set in the hard back of a shoe to guide the heel of a user into the back of the shoe when putting on the shoes, thus allowing the user to easily and conveniently put on the shoes without using any separate shoehorn and without stressing or deforming the backs of the shoes.
- a shoe has a variety of shapes and designs, but typically comprises a rubber sole and a natural leather or synthetic leather quarter.
- Conventional shoes have a somewhat stiff structure in an effort to maintain their original shapes for a desired lengthy period of time.
- the toe part is less likely to be stressed or depressed, thus maintaining its original shape for a desired lengthy period of time without being deformed.
- the back of a shoe is stressed and depressed by the heel of a user while putting on the shoes, thus being easily deformed.
- shoehorns In order to easily put on shoes without damaging or deforming the backs of the shoes, a variety of shoehorns have been typically used. Such a shoehorn is inserted in the back of a shoe to allow the heel of a foot to slip into the shoe more easily.
- use of such shoehorns is problematic in that it is inconvenient to users who are forced to carry the shoehorns and to use the shoehorns while putting on shoes. Therefore, some people don't like to use such shoehorns, but put their heels into the back of shoes by force while putting on the shoes, thus stressing, depressing, damaging and deforming the backs of the shoes, and making the backs lose their original shapes. This finally reduces the expected life span of shoes.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a heel guide tool for putting on shoes, which is set in the back of a shoe to guide the heel of a user into the back when putting on the shoes, thus allowing the user to easily and conveniently put on the shoes without using any separate shoehorn and without stressing or deforming the backs of the shoes, and which keeps the original shapes of the backs for a desired lengthy period of time and lengthens the expected life span of the shoes.
- the primary embodiment of the present invention provides a guide tool for putting on a shoe, comprising a holding part used for holding the guide tool on the double-plied back of the shoe at a desired position, the holding part being curved to have the same radius of curvature as that of the double-plied back of the shoe and being inserted into a gap between two plies of the back, thus holding the guide tool in the back of the shoe, and a heel guide part integrally formed along the upper edge of the curved holding part and aligned with the cuff of the shoe at the back of the shoe when the curved holding part is completely inserted into the back of the shoe, the heel guide part having a shape allowing the heel of a user to be smoothly inserted into the back of the shoe, with reduced frictional force generated between the heel of the user and the back of the shoe while putting on the shoe.
