Abstract:
Provided is footwear that can simplify joining operation and reduce the time of the operation when a knitted fabric is formed into a three-dimensional shape. There is presupposed footwear obtained by forming a knitted fabric knitted with a flat knitting machine into a three-dimensional shape by joining left and right extended ends of a shoe tongue part and both the left and right positions of a sole in a front end portion of a main part. The footwear includes insertion pieces extended outward in a left-right direction from the left and right extended ends of the shoe tongue part, and insertion holes that linearly extend from both the left and right positions of the sole in the front end portion of the main part toward a heel part side, receive the insertion pieces inserted thereinto, and temporarily retain the insertion pieces.

Claim (Index 1):
Footwear obtained by forming one or a plurality of knitted fabrics knitted with a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of front and rear needle beds into a three-dimensional shape by joining together joint portions needing each other,\n wherein the joint portions of the knitted fabric include a first temporary retainment portion extended by knitting from at least one of the joint portions, and a second temporary retainment portion provided by knitting at the other of the joint portions and temporarily retaining the first temporary retainment portion, wherein at least the first temporary retainment portion of the temporary retainment portions is firmly joined by using joining means so that a temporarily retained state in which the joint portions of the knitted fabric are temporarily retained to each other by the temporary retainment portions becomes a firmly joined state, wherein an insertion piece is employed as the first temporary retainment portion, and an insertion opening is employed as the second temporary retainment portion, and wherein the insertion piece has a barb that prevents the insertion piece from being released from the insertion opening when the insertion piece is inserted into the insertion opening.
