Legwear

Abstract

A foot cover in accordance with an embodiment includes: a main body part including a sole part which covers a sole and a heel part which covers a heel; and a nonslip part provided on an inside of the heel part which inside faces a back surface of the heel, the nonslip part having elasticity lower than that of a cloth of the heel part. The nonslip part includes strip-shaped parts which prevent the cloth of the heel part from expanding and contracting in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction.

We claim: 
     
         1 . Legwear comprising:
 a main body part including a sole part which covers a sole and a heel part which covers a heel, the main body part having elasticity; and   a nonslip part provided inside of the heel part, the nonslip part having elasticity lower than that of cloth of the heel part,   the nonslip part including strip-shaped parts which prevent the cloth of the heel part from expanding and contracting in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, where the vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the sole part and the horizontal direction is a width direction of the sole part.   
     
     
         2 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the strip-shaped parts include:
 a first strip-shaped part which extends in a substantially horizontal direction; and   one or more second strip-shaped parts each of which extends in a substantially vertical direction.   
     
     
         3 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein
 said one or more second strip-shaped parts are two second strip-shaped parts, and   the two second strip-shaped parts are provided such that a calcaneus is sandwiched therebetween.   
     
     
         4 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein
 the first strip-shaped part is provided across an Achilles' tendon, and   the two strip-shaped parts extend from both ends of the first strip-shaped part toward the sole part.   
     
     
         5 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein
 the strip-shaped part includes a plurality of third strip-shaped parts which extend in respective directions, each direction being different from a substantially vertical direction and a substantially horizontal direction, and   the plurality of strip-shaped parts cross each other.   
     
     
         6 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the strip-shaped part includes a fourth strip-shaped part which extends in a curved manner. 
     
     
         7 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the strip-shaped parts are provided so as to be continuous each other. 
     
     
         8 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         9 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         10 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         11 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         12 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         13 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material. 
     
     
         14 . The legwear as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein the nonslip part is a sheet-like member obtained by applying a resin having a friction coefficient higher than that of cloth of the main body part to a base material.
