The hook function is achieved by engaging the hook function member. A hook functional member is comprised by the commercially available hook-and-loop fastener, for example. The hook functional member constituted by the hook-and-loop fastener is constituted by a large number of loop group members (surface fastener A surface) and hook group members (surface fastener B surface). The loop group member is a soft and many loop group implanted on the surface of the substrate, and the hook group member is a hard and many hook group protruding on the surface of the substrate fabric.
In the best mode of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, there are two adjustment belts, which can be attached to the vicinity of the opening and the ankle portion. Since the adjustment belt can be attached not only to the vicinity of the opening but also to the ankle portion, it is possible to achieve a high wearing feeling even if a folding portion is provided.
The adjustment belt in the best mode is configured to be detachable. When worn, smooth attachment and detachment is possible by temporarily fixing the adjustment belt in a state where the end of the adjustment belt is located in the vicinity of the folding portion. The adjustment belt is preferably made of thick synthetic rubber or the like so that the strength can be maintained so that the folded portion does not return when temporarily fixed.
After wearing, the adjustment belt is attached by the hook function in a state where the end of the adjustment belt is away from the folding portion, and the opening and the ankle portion are fixed.

  A counter member is provided on the buttocks of the boots main body. The counter member is a hard core member, and thereby, the support of the buttocks is hardened, and there is an effect that the stability is improved. Further, by providing a counter member on the heel, it is possible to prevent the footwear from being twisted, and it is possible to suppress the deviation even when the sole plate is attached.

  Further, a loop into which a finger is sufficiently inserted is provided behind the opening. At the time of wearing, it is possible for an elderly person or the like to insert a finger of a hand so that the foot can easily enter the shoe. In addition, the knob loop into which the finger enters is convenient for others to put on and take off boots.

  A protrusion is provided on the collar portion. If the boots are worn while wearing the lower limb orthosis or the like, the lower limb orthoses may be caught on the inner surface of the boots. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a protrusion that can apply force. In addition, since the lower limb orthosis and the like come into contact with the inner side surface of the buttocks, it is preferable to reinforce the inner side surface of the buttocks with a thick cloth material that is resistant to wear.

  Moreover, the boots of the best form are comprised so that an insole member (insole) can be attached or detached and the thickness of an insole can be adjusted. Even a person who has a leg length difference between the right foot and the left foot or a person wearing a lower limb orthosis can achieve an optimal fit by exchanging or removing the insole.

《Wearing work》
When the boots of the present invention are worn, the folding part is opened widely and temporarily fixed by the adjusting belt. More specifically, the adjustment belt is removed, and the hook group member provided on the back surface of the adjustment belt is engaged with the hook group member provided on the boots main body at the position where the end portion is in the vicinity of the folding portion. Is left open. Wearing is easy when a finger is inserted into the loop and the foot is intruded while applying force to the loop with the opening being wide open.
After the foot has entered completely, remove the adjustment belt and close the fold. With the folded portion closed, the adjustment belt is attached and fastened to the ankle portion and the opening portion, and then fixed by the hook function. Since the ankle portion can be reliably held by the adjustment belt, the foot can be walked lightly without any slippage in the boots during walking.
