A footwear shoe structure for sports and general outdoor activity, having
excellent benefits with respect to hallux vulgas, has an internal
half-size tabi (Japanese sock) structure that uses a stretchable cloth
and separates the big toe from the other four toes, the internal
structure being interposed between an instep covering material and an
upper toe part of a sole. The stretching property of the stretchable
cloth forming an upper part and the stretching property of the
stretchable cloth forming a lower part of the internal structure are
differentiated from one another so as to be smaller in the latter than in
the former. A partition member 4 formed of a soft elastic material is
fitted into a crotch part between a big toe part and a part of the
internal structure for the other four toes. In one embodiment, the upper
part of the internal structure is formed of two sheets comprising
stretchable cloth of nylon or polyester fiber, and a urethane foam 1c is
interposed therebetween. The lower part is formed in a two-sheet
structure in which an insole surface is formed of a stretchable nylon
tricot cloth, the face thereof in contact with the inside of the sole is
formed of a synthetic fiber flat weave cloth, and a urethane foam is
interposed therebetween.
