Golf shoes

Abstract

Golf shoes are proposed which make it possible for particularly senior golfers whose lower half body has weakened to make a correct swing during a downswing. A sealed bag formed of a vinyl is fixed to a portion of a midsole in surface contact with the foot sole of a shoe. A hand pump and a release valve are connected to the sealed bag through a vinyl tube. When the shoes are put on with the sealed bag inflated by injecting air into it by operating the hand pump, the portion of the little toe rises. When a swing is made in this state, even when the body weight moves at the time of a downswing or an impact, due to the rise of the portion of the little toe by inflation of the sealed bag, even a senior golfer can make a right swing by standing firm on his left foot. When air is released from the sealed bag, normal walking is possible.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Golf shoes comprising a sealed bag provided at an area of a foot sole which becomes a fulcrum at a side for bracing during a period from a top swing to a finish, said sealed bag being arranged such that air can be injected thereinto and exhausted therefrom, whereby a portion corresponding to said area is raised by inflating said sealed bag by injecting air into it.  
     
     
         2 . The golf shoes as claimed in  claim 1  wherein as means for injecting and exhausting air to and from said sealed bag, a hand pump and a release valve are provided.  
     
     
         3 . The golf shoes as claimed in  claim 2  wherein said hand pump and said release valve are buried in a tongue.
