Abstract

A foot balance device includes at least one adjustment element arranged at a position between a front sole and a rear heel. The adjustment element forms a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section. The coupling section functions to couple to a corresponding position in a shoe or on a shoe pad. As such, the distribution of force between the heel and the sole is changed to realize proper distribution of body weight on the foot and make force uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to thereby protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.

Claims (17)

1 . A foot balance device comprising at least one adjustment element arranged at a position between a front sole and a rear heel, the adjustment element comprising a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section, the coupling section being useful for position adjustment between the front foot sole and rear foot heel, whereby force is made uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.

2 . A foot balance device comprising:

a shoe pad; and

at least one adjustment element, which forms a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section, the coupling section being coupleable to a top surface of the shoe pad between a front sole and a rear heel, whereby force is made uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.

3 . A foot balance device comprising:

a shoe pad; and

at least one adjustment element, which forms a support point having a bottom surface that is provided with a coupling section, the coupling section being coupleable to a bottom surface of the shoe pad between a front sole and a rear heel, whereby force is made uniformly acting along a circumference of the adjustment element to protect the foot from being hurt and improve the sense of comfortableness.

4 . The foot balance device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of a shape of one of a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle.

5 . The foot balance device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of one of a raised surface, a circular-curved surface, a semi-circular-curved surface, and an irregular surface.

6 . The foot balance device according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling section of the at least one adjustment element is of one of adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, and hook-and-loop fastener.

7 . The foot balance device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of a shape of one of a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle.

8 . The foot balance device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of one of a raised surface, a circular-curved surface, a semi-circular-curved surface, and an irregular surface.

9 . The foot balance device according to claim 2 , wherein the coupling section of the at least one adjustment element is of one of adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, and hook-and-loop fastener.

10 . The foot balance device according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of a shape of one of a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle.

11 . The foot balance device according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is of one of a raised surface, a circular-curved surface, a semi-circular-curved surface, and an irregular surface.

12 . The foot balance device according to claim 3 , wherein the coupling section of the at least one adjustment element is of one of adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, and hook-and-loop fastener.

13 . The foot balance device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment element is coupled inside a shoe and is covered by a shoe pad.
