Definitions
- the invention relates to a sports shoe with a firm, rigid outer shell, in particular a ski, mountain or ice skating shoe, with a single flexible band which serves to hold the foot on the sole of the shoe, which is slidably guided over deflection brackets arranged in the region of the midfoot on both sides of the shoe and on the one hand over the area of the Achilles tendon and on the other hand over the area of the instep.
- CH-A 244 825 has disclosed shoes of the type mentioned, in which a strap is arranged on the outside of the outer shell and is guided over the heel area and the instep area of the shoe in the manner of a so-called instep strap.
- this strap which is guided in lateral deflection brackets which engage on the shoe sole and are connected to it via intermediate pieces, essentially represents only an organ for firmly closing the upper of the shoe.
- the rigid upper shoe allows relatively good lateral guidance of the foot
- due to the relatively high pressure sensitivity of the human foot in large areas such a stiff upper shoe cannot satisfactorily ensure that the foot is also held firmly on the sole.
- the aim of the invention is to design or equip a sports shoe of the type mentioned at the outset with comparatively simple measures so that the foot of the user is engaged in the exercise of a movement sport, e.g. B. skiing, ice skating or hiking, remains particularly reliable and intimately connected to the sole of the shoe in the long term, thereby preventing constant, intermittent lifting and reattachment on the sole and thus being protected as much as possible.
- a movement sport e.g. B. skiing, ice skating or hiking
- the invention is based on the finding that too little care has been taken in the previously known sports shoes.
- Various measures have already been taken to connect the foot of the shoe wearer with the shoe as reliably as possible (see, for example, FR-A-1 280 939). So far, however, it has not been possible to prevent the foot from constantly lifting off the shoe sole and putting it back on again during one of the above-mentioned sporting operations of the shoe wearer, in particular in the heel area.
- the deflection brackets are arranged below the midfoot on both flanks of the shoe sole and, like the band itself, lie within the upper of the shoe.
- the foot or the sole of the foot and with it also the heel always remain intimately connected to the sole area of the shoe and this gives the shoe wearer a safe feeling of contact with the ground.
- the foot also experiences the lowest possible stress in the sensitive sole area, does not tire as quickly and is only used in optimally suitable places, namely only on the one hand in the area of the well-known Achilles tendon and on the other hand in the area of the bony instep of the foot to hold the shoe, in the other, pressure-sensitive areas, however, are considerably relieved.
- the strain on the foot due to its connection to the shoe is therefore extremely cheap and without the risk of causing pain, especially since a comparatively wide, soft and elastic band can be used, which ensures optimum comfort for the wearer of the shoe.
- the band is arranged inside the upper of the shoe, i.e. invisibly, whereby it can be anchored on the inside of the shoe sole, optionally on a filler, insert body or the like embedded in the area of the shoe sole, and also on the foot of the shoe wearer, who may be wearing a stocking is directly present, so that it is naturally particularly effective and fully effective in this immediate system.
- the invention can be implemented in such a way that the tensioning of the flexible band is carried out as soon as the foot has slipped into the open shoe and then the upper part of the shoe is closed around the foot.
- the flexible band arranged inside the shoe by means of a from the outside of the shoe, for. B. by rotation, actuated clamping device, preferably continuously, aud can be clamped to the desired extent, which is particularly with regard to the rigid, rigid outer shell, for. B. for modern ski and ice hockey shoes, is advantageous.
- This arrangement of an outside tensioning device provides the remarkable advantage that it does not require opening of the shoe in order to regulate the tension of the flexible band; moreover, there is the advantage that the extent of this voltage is time and need, z. B. during breaks in sports, can be changed effortlessly and without any significant amount of time, e.g. B. to reduce the tension during such breaks or to offer the foot the opportunity and opportunity for a certain recovery.
- the band from elastic material in the area intended to rest against the Achilles tendon of the foot.
- the flexible band extends continuously over the instep and Achilles tendon and is slidably guided in the arch of the sole in deflection brackets connected to the shoe sole, the foot can be securely and securely attached to the shoe sole by means of a single strap, thanks to which Sliding support of the ligament is held both in the instep area and in the Achilles tendon, but is still fixed to a limited extent while leaving a certain degree of flexibility, because the tension runs obliquely both backwards and forwards, starting from the area below the arch of the foot.
- the tensioning device can furthermore be arranged particularly advantageously on the outside of the rigid outer shell, preferably in the region of the foot instep, that is to say in the front part of the upper of the shoe, optionally at least partially recessed in a recess of this shell. In this area, the tensioning device is particularly cheaply accessible and can be actuated. The upper part of such shoes is then expedient to open or close on the back.
- one of the main advantages of the solution according to the invention is that the flexible band alone ensures an extremely reliable connection of the foot to the sole of the shoe and thus also a solid connection of the foot to the shoe, so that it is desirable to be intimate Connection does not have to be created indirectly through the mediation of the shoe upper.
- the upper part of the shoe does not require any elaborate and particularly disturbing fitting with buckles, clamps, levers and hinges, which usually serve to connect the upper part of the shoe to the foot as firmly as possible, but the operation thereof takes considerable effort and effort Time is associated with inconveniences, and which are also prone to failure - especially in unfavorable weather conditions such as extreme cold.
- a single tensioning device which at least partially surrounds the upper of the shoe, may be sufficient to lock the shoe on the one hand and on the other hand to allow it to rest firmly against the foot in the area above the ankle, because anyway for the actual holding of the shoe sole on the foot of the shoe wearer the flexible strap ensures.
- the ski boot shown as an embodiment consists of a rigid outer shell 1 made of rigid plastic, corresponding to the shape of the foot, in the sole area of which a filler 2 made of particularly hard and resistant material, such as plastic or light metal, e.g. B. aluminum is embedded.
- the filler body 2 can be positively connected to the shell 1 by embedding it in the material of the shell 1 and / or also by means of any other auxiliary and fastening means or by means of adhesive.
- the filler 2 On both sides, the filler 2 carries an elongated deflection bracket 3 on the longitudinal edges of its upper side; these two brackets 3 can, for example, be anchored individually in the packing 2 or at or through the packing at the two opposite ends crossing or embedded in it, e.g. B. existing metal bridge 3 '.
- the flexible band 4 is pulled through these two brackets 3 arranged on both sides of the long sides of the foot 5 indicated by the dashed line in the region of the sole of the foot and extends - freely sliding in these brackets 3 - partly over the region 6 of the Achilles tendon of the foot 5, partly over the region 7 of the instep, where the tensioning device 8 is located, which either receives the two ends of the flexible band 4 or is traversed by this band 4 if it is endless.
- the effective length to be looped around the foot of this band 4 can be shortened or lengthened by means of the tensioning device 8 for the purpose of regulating the tension.
- a push button 8 ' can be used to temporarily and temporarily adjust the tensioning device 8, e.g. B. during breaks in a sporting activity, to relax or to take effect again after such breaks.
- this can be designed to be elastic in order to allow slight movements of the foot 5 with respect to the shoe sole or to the filler 2, but otherwise to prevent larger movements of this type which would cause permanent stress on the sole of the foot 9 or the heel of the foot 5 and accordingly cause premature fatigue and possibly pain in the shoe wearer.
- the tensioning device 8 can be at least partially countersunk in a recess 1 ′ of the shell 1 in order to be able to grip the flexible band 4 as far as possible in the vicinity of the foot 5.
- the shell 1 On its inside, the shell 1 is provided in the usual way with a lining 10, for. B. with a foam liner.
- a tensioning and locking device 11 Arranged in the area of the shoe upper is a tensioning and locking device 11 which surrounds this upper and which, owing to the particularly reliable connection of the foot 5 according to the invention to the area of the shoe sole facing the inside of the shoe, is completely sufficient to close the shell 1 to be opened at the rear of the shoe hold and let the shaft 5 rest snugly on the foot.
- additional organs such as buckles, clamps, lever hinges etc., can be provided on the back of the shaft for closing the shell 1.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh mit fester, steifer Außenschale, insbesondere Ski-, Berg- oder Eislaufschuh, mit einem einzigen der Halterung des Fußes an der Schuhsohle dienenden flexiblen Band, welches über im Bereich des Mittelfußes an beiden Schuhseiten angeordnete Umlenkbügel gleitend geführt ist und einerseits über den Bereich der Achillessehne und andererseits über den Bereich des Fußristes verläuft.The invention relates to a sports shoe with a firm, rigid outer shell, in particular a ski, mountain or ice skating shoe, with a single flexible band which serves to hold the foot on the sole of the shoe, which is slidably guided over deflection brackets arranged in the region of the midfoot on both sides of the shoe and on the one hand over the area of the Achilles tendon and on the other hand over the area of the instep.
Durch die CH-A 244 825 wurden Schuhe der genannten Art bekannt, bei denen an der Außenseite der Außenschale ein Riemen angeordnet ist, der nach Art eines sogenannten Ristriemens über den Fersenbereich und den Ristbereich des Schuhs geführt ist. Dieser Riemen, der in seitlichen, an der Schuhsohle angreifenden und mit dieser über Zwischenstücke verbundenen Umlenkbügeln geführt ist, stellt im wesentlichen aber lediglich ein Organ zum festen Schließen des Schuhoberteils dar. Durch den steifen Oberschuh kann relativ einfach eine gute seitliche Führung des Fußes erzielt werden, jedoch kann - aufgrund der in großen Bereichen relativ hohen Druckempfindlichkeit des menschlichen Fußesvon einem solchen steifen Oberschuh nicht befriedigend sichgestellt werden, daß der Fuß auch fest an der Sohle gehalten wird.CH-A 244 825 has disclosed shoes of the type mentioned, in which a strap is arranged on the outside of the outer shell and is guided over the heel area and the instep area of the shoe in the manner of a so-called instep strap. However, this strap, which is guided in lateral deflection brackets which engage on the shoe sole and are connected to it via intermediate pieces, essentially represents only an organ for firmly closing the upper of the shoe. The rigid upper shoe allows relatively good lateral guidance of the foot However, due to the relatively high pressure sensitivity of the human foot in large areas, such a stiff upper shoe cannot satisfactorily ensure that the foot is also held firmly on the sole.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es, mit vergleichsweise einfachen Maßnahmen einen Sportschuh der .eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten bzw. so auszustatten, daß der Fuß des Benutzers beim Betreiben eines Bewegungssportes, z. B. Skifahren, Schlittschuhlaufen oder Wandern, besonders zuverlässig und auf Dauer mit der Sohle des Schuhes innig verbunden bleibt, dadurch vor einem ständigen, intermittierenden Abheben und Wiederaufsetzen auf der Sohle bewahrt und solcherart möglichst geschont wird.The aim of the invention is to design or equip a sports shoe of the type mentioned at the outset with comparatively simple measures so that the foot of the user is engaged in the exercise of a movement sport, e.g. B. skiing, ice skating or hiking, remains particularly reliable and intimately connected to the sole of the shoe in the long term, thereby preventing constant, intermittent lifting and reattachment on the sole and thus being protected as much as possible.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß bei den bisher bekannten Sportschuhen hiefür zu wenig Sorge getragen worden ist. Zwar hat man schon verschiedene Maßnahmen getroffen, um den Fuß des Schuhträgers möglichst zuverlässig mit dem Schuh zu verbinden (siehe z. B. FR-A-1 280 939). Es konnte bisher aber nicht verhindert werden, daß sich der Fuß bei einer der oben genannten sportlichen Betätigungen des Schuhträgers insbesondere im Fersenbereich andauernd im Wechsel von der Schuhsohle abhob und wiederaufsetzte.The invention is based on the finding that too little care has been taken in the previously known sports shoes. Various measures have already been taken to connect the foot of the shoe wearer with the shoe as reliably as possible (see, for example, FR-A-1 280 939). So far, however, it has not been possible to prevent the foot from constantly lifting off the shoe sole and putting it back on again during one of the above-mentioned sporting operations of the shoe wearer, in particular in the heel area.
Wenngleich das Ausmaß solcher Relativbewegungen zwischen der Fußsohle und der Schuhsohle verhältnismäßig gering ist, führt doch die dadurch verursachte Dauerbeanspruchung der ersteren allzuleicht und allzurasch zu Ermüdungserscheinungen, Unannehmlichkeiten und Schmerzen, insbesondere im Fersenbereich. Au- βerdem wird das bei verschiedenen Sportarten wichtige Gefühl der Bodenhaftung beeinträchtigt und schließlich geht auch ein zunächst guter Paßsitz des Schuhes durch die Dauerbewegungen des Fußes innerhalb des Schuhes allmählich verloren, weil die am Fuß anliegenden Bereiche der Innenseiten des Schuhoberteiles dauerbeansprucht werden und einer Deformation sowie einem vorzeitigen Verschleiß unterliegen.Although the extent of such relative movements between the sole of the foot and the sole of the shoe is relatively small, the resulting long-term stress on the former leads to signs of fatigue, inconvenience and pain, especially in the heel area, too quickly and easily. In addition, the feeling of traction, which is important in various sports, is impaired and, finally, an initially good fit of the shoe is gradually lost due to the permanent movements of the foot inside the shoe, because the areas of the inside of the shoe upper which are in contact with the foot are subjected to permanent stress and a deformation and subject to premature wear.
Das genannte Ziel der Erfindung wird nun ihren wesentlichen Merkmalen zufolge dadurch erreicht, daß die Umlenkbügel unterhalb des Mittelfußes an beiden Flanken der Schuhsohle angeordnet sind und ebenso wie das Band selbst innerhalb des Schuhoberteiles liegen. Der Fuß bzw. Die Fußsohle und mit ihr auch die Ferse bleiben damit stets innig mit dem Sohlenbereich des Schuhes verbunden und dies vermittelt dem Schuhträger ein sicheres Gefühl des Bodenkontaktes. Der Fuß erfährt außerdem geringstmögliche Beanspruchungen im empfindlichen Sohlenbereich, ermüdet nicht mehr so rasch und wird nur an optimal geeigneten Stellen, nämlich nur einerseits im Bereich der bekanntlich sehr kräftigen Achillessehne und andererseits im Bereich des knochigen Fußristes zur Halterung des Schuhes herangezogen, in den übrigen, druckempfindlicheren Bereichen jedoch erheblich entlastet. Die Beanspruchung des Fußes durch seine Verbindung mit dem Schuh erfolgt somit überaus günstig und ohne Gefahr einer Schmerzverursachung, zumal ein vergleichsweise breites, weiches und elastisches Band verwendet werden kann, das ein Optimum an Bequemlichkeit für den Träger des Schuhes gewährleistet.The stated aim of the invention is now achieved according to its essential features in that the deflection brackets are arranged below the midfoot on both flanks of the shoe sole and, like the band itself, lie within the upper of the shoe. The foot or the sole of the foot and with it also the heel always remain intimately connected to the sole area of the shoe and this gives the shoe wearer a safe feeling of contact with the ground. The foot also experiences the lowest possible stress in the sensitive sole area, does not tire as quickly and is only used in optimally suitable places, namely only on the one hand in the area of the well-known Achilles tendon and on the other hand in the area of the bony instep of the foot to hold the shoe, in the other, pressure-sensitive areas, however, are considerably relieved. The strain on the foot due to its connection to the shoe is therefore extremely cheap and without the risk of causing pain, especially since a comparatively wide, soft and elastic band can be used, which ensures optimum comfort for the wearer of the shoe.
Das Band ist innerhalb des Schuhoberteiles verlaufend, also unsichtbar, angeordnet, wobei es an der Innenseite der Schuhsohle, gegebenenfalls an einem im Schuhsohlenbereich eingebetteten Füllkörper, Einsatzkörper od. dgl. verankert werden kann und außerdem an dem gegebenenfalls mit einem Strumpf bekleideten Fuß des Schuhträgers ziemlich unmittelbar anliegt, so daß es in dieser unmittelbaren Anlage naturgemäß besonders wirksam und voll zur Geltung kommt.The band is arranged inside the upper of the shoe, i.e. invisibly, whereby it can be anchored on the inside of the shoe sole, optionally on a filler, insert body or the like embedded in the area of the shoe sole, and also on the foot of the shoe wearer, who may be wearing a stocking is directly present, so that it is naturally particularly effective and fully effective in this immediate system.
Die Anordnung eines flexiblen Bandes in Form einer Knöchelmanschette ist dabei an sich beispielsweise aus der US-A-3 327 410 bekannt, wobei aber mit einer derartigen Knöchelmanschette keine Fixierung des Fußes bzw. der Ferse an der Sohle bewirkt werden kann, wie dies beim Sportschuh nach der Erfindung der Fall ist.The arrangement of a flexible band in the form of an ankle cuff is known per se, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,327,410, but such an ankle cuff cannot fix the foot or heel to the sole, as is the case with sports shoes is the case according to the invention.
Weiters sei an dieser Stelle bemerkt, daß die Anordnung eines Umlenkbügels für einen bandförmigen Schnürriemen unterhalb des Mittelfußes an beiden Flanken der Schuhsohle im Zusammenhang mit einem Sportschuh mit leichtem, flexiblem Oberschuh an sich ebenfalls bekannt ist - siehe z. B. die DE-A-910 871, welche eine besondere Art der Außenschnürung eines solchen Sportschuhes zur Vermittlung eines besseren Haltes am Fuß behandelt.It should also be noted at this point that the arrangement of a deflection bracket for a band-shaped lacing strap below the midfoot on both flanks of the shoe sole in connection with a sports shoe with a light, flexible upper shoe is also known per se - see e.g. B. DE-A-910 871, which treats a special type of external lacing of such a sports shoe to provide a better grip on the foot.
Das Ausmaß der Spannung des Bandes und damit die Stärke und Festigkeit der innigen Verbindung zwischen Fuß und Schuhsohle kann beim Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung nach Erfahrung, der jeweiligen Art des vom Schuhträger betriebenen Sportes entsprechend, gewählt werden und ist - dem jeweiligen Wunsch und Bedarf entsprechend - leicht regelbar.The extent of the tension of the band and thus the strength and firmness of the intimate connection between the foot and the sole of the shoe can be in the subject of the present invention based on experience, the particular type of Shoe carrier operated sport can be selected accordingly and is - according to the respective wish and need - easily adjustable.
In einfachster Weise ist die Erfindung derart zu verwirklichen, daß die Anspannung des flexiblen Bands dann durchgeführt wird, sobald der Fuß in den - geöffneten - Schuh hineingeschlüpft ist, und daß sodann der Oberteil des Schuhes um den Fuß herum geschlossen wird.In a very simple manner, the invention can be implemented in such a way that the tensioning of the flexible band is carried out as soon as the foot has slipped into the open shoe and then the upper part of the shoe is closed around the foot.
Andererseits kann vorgesehen sein, daß das im Schuhinneren angeordnete flexible Band mittels einer von der Außenseite des Schuhes her, z. B. durch Drehung, betätigbaren Spannvorrichtung, vorzugsweise stufenlos, aud das jeweils gewünschte Ausmaß spannbar ist, was insbesonders im Hinblick auf die feste, steife Außenschale, z. B. für moderne Ski- und Eishockeyschuhe, vorteilhaft ist.On the other hand, it can be provided that the flexible band arranged inside the shoe by means of a from the outside of the shoe, for. B. by rotation, actuated clamping device, preferably continuously, aud can be clamped to the desired extent, which is particularly with regard to the rigid, rigid outer shell, for. B. for modern ski and ice hockey shoes, is advantageous.
Diese Anordnung einer außenseitigen Spannvorrichtung erbringt den beachtenswerten Vorteil, daß es keiner Öffnung des Schuhes bedarf, um die Spannung des flexiblen Bandes zu regeln ; darüber hinaus ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß das Ausmaß dieser Spannung zeit- und bedarfsweise, z. B. in Pausen der Sportbetätigung, mühelos und ohne nennenswerten Zeitaufwand verändert werden kann, z. B. um die Spannung während solcher Pausen zu verringern bzw. dem Fuß diesbezüglich die Gelegenheit und Möglichkeit einer gewissen Erholung zu bieten.This arrangement of an outside tensioning device provides the remarkable advantage that it does not require opening of the shoe in order to regulate the tension of the flexible band; moreover, there is the advantage that the extent of this voltage is time and need, z. B. during breaks in sports, can be changed effortlessly and without any significant amount of time, e.g. B. to reduce the tension during such breaks or to offer the foot the opportunity and opportunity for a certain recovery.
Um bei bestimmten, phasenweise ablaufenden Sportbetätigungen, die z. B. von Pausen durchsetzt sind, etwa beim Skisport, bei Eishockey usw., einen raschen und mühelosen Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Spannungszuständen herbeiführen zu können, mag es zweckdienlich sein, die Spannvorrichtung an einem gut und bequem zugänglichen Bereich des Schuhes, vorzugsweise an dem den Fußrist abdeckenden Bereich des Schuhoberteiles, anzuordnen.In order to carry out certain sports activities in phases, e.g. B. are interspersed with breaks, for example in skiing, ice hockey etc., to be able to bring about a quick and effortless change between different tension states, it may be useful to place the tensioning device on a well and easily accessible area of the shoe, preferably on the instep covering area of the shoe upper to be arranged.
Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Bequemlichkeit der handhabung wird es in diesem Fall empfehlenswert sein, wenn die Spannung des Bandes mittels eines der Spannvorrichtung zugeordneten Betätigungsgliedes, z. B. eines Druck- oder Drehknopfes, bedarfsweise und zeitweise lockerbar bzw. wieder anspannbar ist. Ein solches Betätigungsorgan läßt sich - etwa mit einem Skistock - unschwer erreichen und bequem handhaben.To further improve the convenience of handling, it will be recommended in this case if the tension of the band by means of an actuator associated with the tensioning device, e.g. B. a push or rotary button, if necessary and temporarily loosened or can be tightened again. Such an actuator can be easily reached and handled comfortably - for example with a ski pole.
Insbesondere erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, das Band in dem zum Anliegen an der Achillessehne des Fußes bestimmten Bereich aus elastischem Material auszubilden. Dadurch, daß sich das flexible Band durchgehend über den Rist und die Achillessehne erstreckt und im Bereich der Fußsohlenwölbung in mit der Schuhsohle verbundenen Umlenkbügeln gleitend geführt ist, kann der Fuß auf der Schuhsohle mittels eines einzigen Bandes fest und sicher befestigt werden, wobei er dank der gleitenden Lagerung des Bandes sowohl im Ristbereich als auch im Bereich der Achillessehne gehalten, aber dennoch unter Belassung einer gewissen Eigenbeweglichkeit begrenzt fixiert wird, weil die Verspannung sowohl nach hinten wie auch nach vorne, von dem Bereich unterhalb der Fußwölbung ausgehend schräg verläuft.In particular, it proves to be advantageous to form the band from elastic material in the area intended to rest against the Achilles tendon of the foot. Characterized in that the flexible band extends continuously over the instep and Achilles tendon and is slidably guided in the arch of the sole in deflection brackets connected to the shoe sole, the foot can be securely and securely attached to the shoe sole by means of a single strap, thanks to which Sliding support of the ligament is held both in the instep area and in the Achilles tendon, but is still fixed to a limited extent while leaving a certain degree of flexibility, because the tension runs obliquely both backwards and forwards, starting from the area below the arch of the foot.
Die Spannvorrichtung kann weiters besonders günstig an der Außenseite der steifen Außenschale, vorzugsweise im Bereich .des Fußristes, also im vorderen Teil des Schuhoberteiles, aufliegend, gegebenenfalls in einer Ausnehmung dieser Schale zumindest teilweise versenkt, angeordnet werden. In diesem Bereich ist die Spannvorrichtung besonders günstig zugänglich und betätigbar. Der Oberteil solcher Schuhe ist dann zweckmäßigerweise an seiner Rückseite zu öffnen bzw. zu verschließen.The tensioning device can furthermore be arranged particularly advantageously on the outside of the rigid outer shell, preferably in the region of the foot instep, that is to say in the front part of the upper of the shoe, optionally at least partially recessed in a recess of this shell. In this area, the tensioning device is particularly cheaply accessible and can be actuated. The upper part of such shoes is then expedient to open or close on the back.
Wie schon oben erwähnt, besteht einer der Hauptvorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung darin, daß das flexible Band schon allein für eine überaus zuverlässige Verbindung des Fußes mit der Schuhsohle und damit auch für eine ebensolche solide Verbindung des Fußes mit dem Schuh sorgt, so daß diese wünschenswert innige Verbindung nicht erst durch Vermittlung des Schuhoberteiles mittelbar geschaffen werden muß.As already mentioned above, one of the main advantages of the solution according to the invention is that the flexible band alone ensures an extremely reliable connection of the foot to the sole of the shoe and thus also a solid connection of the foot to the shoe, so that it is desirable to be intimate Connection does not have to be created indirectly through the mediation of the shoe upper.
Dank dieses Umstandes bedarf der Oberteil des Schuhes keiner aufwendigen und speziell bei Sportschuhen sehr störenden Bestückung mit Schnallen, Klemmen, Hebel und Scharnieren, die üblicherweise dazu dienen, den Schuhoberteil mit dem Fuß möglichst fest zu verbinden, deren Betätigung jedoch mit einem erheblichen Mühe-und Zeitaufwand sowie mit Unbequemlichkeiten verknüpft ist, und die außerdem - insbesondere bei ungünstigen Witterungsverhältnissen, wie großer Kälte - störungsanfällig sind. Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteten Sportschuh genügt gegebenenfalls eine einzige, den Schuhschaft zumindest teilweise umschließende Spannvorrichtung, um den Schuh einerseits zu verschließen und andererseits im Bereich oberhalb des Knöchels fest am Fuß anliegen zu lassen, weil ja für die eigentliche Halterung der Schuhsohle am Fuß des Schuhträgers ohnehin das flexible Band sorgt.Thanks to this circumstance, the upper part of the shoe does not require any elaborate and particularly disturbing fitting with buckles, clamps, levers and hinges, which usually serve to connect the upper part of the shoe to the foot as firmly as possible, but the operation thereof takes considerable effort and effort Time is associated with inconveniences, and which are also prone to failure - especially in unfavorable weather conditions such as extreme cold. In the case of a sports shoe equipped according to the invention, a single tensioning device, which at least partially surrounds the upper of the shoe, may be sufficient to lock the shoe on the one hand and on the other hand to allow it to rest firmly against the foot in the area above the ankle, because anyway for the actual holding of the shoe sole on the foot of the shoe wearer the flexible strap ensures.
