Patent

CA 2728009

The present invention relates to a sandal, in particular in the form of a so- called flip-flop, having a shoe sole and a big toe compartment for separately accommodating the big toe separated from the other toes. The invention thus relates in particular to flip-flops having orthopedic means for correcting and/or preventing hallux valgus. In accordance with the invention, the flip-flop has a metatarsal strap for supporting the metatarsus and to which the shoe sole is connected by means of a centering apparatus in a pre-determined orientation, the aforesaid metatarsal strap having lateral foot sole support segments that extend laterally under the foot sole and/or over the shoe sole and can be lifted up from the shoe sole in order to support the metatarsus from the foot sole with upwardly oriented lateral pressure or to support the metatarsus in the upright position, even when the foot sole lifts up from the shoe sole during a rolling movement.

La présente invention concerne une sandale, en particulier du type des dites tongs, comprenant une semelle (2) ainsi qu'un compartiment de logement du gros orteil (7) afin de loger le gros orteil séparément des autres orteils. L'invention concerne en particulier des tongs équipées de moyens orthopédiques pour corriger et/ou prévenir l'hallux valgus. Selon l'invention, la tong possède un bandage métatarsien (17) pour soutenir le métatarse, la semelle étant articulée sur ce bandage selon une orientation prédéterminée au moyen d'un dispositif de centrage (3). Le bandage métatarsien mentionné possède des segments latéraux de soutien de la plante du pied (18, 19), qui s'étendent latéralement sous la plante du pied et/ou sur la semelle et qui peuvent être soulevés de la semelle, afin de dresser le métatarse depuis la plante du pied avec des forces de pression latérales orientées vers le haut soutenant le métatarse, ou afin de le soutenir dans la position orientée, même lorsque la plante du pied se soulève de la semelle lors du déroulement du pied.
