Shoe
A shoe includes an upper member covering a foot, and a string-like body formed continuously with the upper member by the same thread as a thread forming the upper member. The string-like body can be a shoelace or an eyelet, or can fix the upper member to a sole member.
1 . A shoe comprising:
an upper member, which covers a foot;
a string-like body, which is formed continuously with the upper member by the same thread as a thread that forms the upper member; and
an eyelet which is formed by the string-like body;
wherein in the eyelet, the string-like body has one end formed continuously on the upper member and another end which is fixed to the upper member by one or more of welding, sewing, or bonding.
2 . The shoe according to claim 1 , comprising
a shoelace formed by a second one of the string-like body.
3 . The shoe according to claim 2 , wherein
the shoelace includes a tip portion, which is extended from the upper member, hardness of the tip portion being higher than hardness of a portion other than the tip portion.
4 . The shoe according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a sole member, which is attached to the upper member, wherein
the upper member and the sole member are fixed by another one of the string-like body.
5 . The shoe according to claim 4 , wherein
the sole member includes a recessed portion or a through hole, through which the string-like body is passed.
6 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper member is formed with a plurality of the string-like bodies, and a net-like body, which covers the upper member, is formed by weaving the plurality of string-like bodies.
7 . The shoe according to claim 6 , wherein
the plurality of string-like bodies includes a first string-like body, which forms the net-like body, and a second string-like body, which is disposed along a circumferential direction of the foot, and
the second string-like body is formed with a plurality of insertion holes through which the first string-like body is passed, by being fixed to the upper member at a plurality of positions spaced apart in a length direction of the second string-like body.
8 . The shoe according to claim 6 , wherein
the upper member includes a heel portion, which covers a heel of the foot, and
the plurality of string-like bodies includes the string-like body, Which is disposed on the heel portion.
9 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper member includes an inner sole portion, and
the string-like body is disposed along the inner sole portion so as to press the inner sole portion against a sole of the foot.
10 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper member is formed with a plurality of the string-like bodies, and
the plurality of string-like bodies includes a plurality of types of string-like bodies, which has different stretchability or tensile rigidity from each other.
11 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the string-like body includes a plurality of types of portions, which have different stretchability or tensile rigidity from each other in one string-like body.
12 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper member is formed with a plurality of the string-like bodies, and
the plurality of string-like bodies includes a plurality of types of string-like bodies, which has the same cross-sectional shape orthogonal to a length direction of the string-like body and different cross-sectional areas orthogonal to the length direction from each other.
13 . The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper member is formed with a plurality of the string-like bodies, and
the plurality of string-like bodies includes a plurality of types of string-like bodies, which has a different cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction from each other.
