Description

Sportschuh, insbesondere Fußballschuh Sports shoe, in particular soccer shoe
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh, insbesondere Fußball¬ schuh mit einem Schaft, der einen Ristbereich umfaßt, einer mit dem Schaft verbundenen Sohle und Zugbändern zur Versteifung.The invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a football shoe with a shaft which comprises an instep area, a sole connected to the shaft and tension bands for stiffening.
Ein derartiger Sportschuh iεt beispielsweise aus der DE 27 52 301 AI bekannt. Die dort beschriebenen Zugbänder sollen eine direktere Kraftübertragung zwischen Fuß und Schuhsohle gewähr¬ leisten und dadurch Ermüdungserscheinungen am Schaft selbst re¬ duzieren. Außerdem soll der Halt des Fußes im Schuh durch die genannten Zugbänder verbessert werden.Such a sports shoe is known, for example, from DE 27 52 301 AI. The drawstrings described there are intended to ensure a more direct transmission of force between the foot and the sole of the shoe and thereby reduce signs of fatigue on the upper itself. In addition, the hold of the foot in the shoe is to be improved by the drawstrings mentioned.
Ein Problem bei Sportschuhen, insbesondere Fußballschuhen, liegt darin, daß die Sohle eine hohe Flexibilität aufweisen muß, um den natürlichen Abrollvorgang des Fußes beim Laufen nicht zu behindern. Die Energien, welche beim Laufen zur Ver¬ formung der Sohle aufgewandt werden müssen, können bei Verwen¬ dung einer möglichst flexiblen Sohle minimiert werden.A problem with sports shoes, especially soccer shoes, is that the sole must have a high degree of flexibility in order not to impede the natural rolling process of the foot while running. The energies which have to be used to deform the sole during running can be minimized by using the most flexible sole possible.
Andererseits birgt eine zu leichte und zu flexible Sohle oft¬ mals ein erhebliches Verletzungsr-isiko. Ein Durchbiegen der Sohle entgegen ihrer natürlichen Wölbung nach unten kann beim Laufen beispielsweise dann auftreten, wenn der Fuß auf eine Unebenheit, beispielsweise einen Stein, aufgesetzt wird.On the other hand, a sole that is too light and too flexible often entails a considerable risk of injury. A bending of the sole against its natural curvature can occur when running, for example, when the foot is placed on an unevenness, for example a stone.
Gerade bei Fußballschuhen ist es besonders nachteilig, wenn sich die Sohle nach unten durchbiegen läßt. Fußballschuhe müssen leicht und sehr flexibel sein. Sie sollten besonders dünne Sohlen aufweisen, welche die Abrollbewegung des Fußes beim Laufen nicht behindern. Auch der Schaft sollte aus sehr dünnem, weichem Leder bestehen, das sich am Fuß eng anschmiegt, um dadurch ein besseres Ballgefühl zu gewährleisten.Especially with football shoes, it is particularly disadvantageous if the sole can be bent downwards. Football shoes have to be light and very flexible. They should have particularly thin soles that do not hinder the foot's rolling motion when running. The shaft should also be made of very thin, soft leather that clings to the foot to ensure a better ball feel.
Beim Ballschuß, insbesondere beim Spannschuß, bei dem der Ball mit durchgestrecktem Fuß getroffen wird, gilt es, ein Durchbie¬ gen der Sohle nach unten weitgehend zu vermeiden bzw. den Fuß entsprechend unnachgiebig abzustützen. Denn Schlagwucht und Ballgeschwindigkeit wird vermindert, wenn die Sohle und dementsprechend der Fuß nach unten nachgibt, wodurch ein nicht unerheblicher Teil der Schlagwucht verlorengeht. Eine zufriedenstellende Impulsübertragung läßt sich mit einer nach unten nachgebenden Sohle nicht erreichen.In the case of a ball shot, in particular a tension shot, in which the ball is struck with the foot extended, it is important to largely prevent the sole from sagging downwards or to support the foot accordingly. The impact force and ball speed are reduced if the sole and the foot accordingly give way downwards, whereby a not inconsiderable part of the impact force is lost. A satisfactory impulse transmission cannot be achieved with a sole that gives way downwards.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems bei einem Fußballschuh ist in der DE 32 19 652 AI vorgeschlagen, an der Unterseite einer an sich aus weichem Grundmaterial gebildeten Sohle Materialteile größerer Härte vorzusehen, welche mit Anschlägen und Gegenanschlägen versehen sind. Ein Durchbiegen der Sohle nach unten wird dadurch verhindert, daß die Anschläge und Gegenanschläge der an der Unterseite der Sohle angeordneten Materialteile in Anlage kommen. Diese bekannte Lösung hat eine relativ aufwendige Sohlenkonstruktion zur Folge. Darüber hinaus ist sie bei schwerem, morastigem Boden nicht mehr in der gewünschten Weise wirksam. Die Spalte zwischen Anschlag und Gegenanschlag setzen sich mit Erde oder dergleichen zu, so daß die Sohle sich mit zunehmender Spieldauer entsprechend nach oben wölbt. Das Zusammenspiel von Anschlag und Gegenschlag geht verloren.To solve this problem with a soccer shoe, it is proposed in DE 32 19 652 AI to provide material parts of greater hardness on the underside of a sole formed from soft base material, which are provided with stops and counter-stops. Bending of the sole downward is prevented by the stops and counter-stops of the material parts arranged on the underside of the sole coming into contact. This known solution results in a relatively complex sole construction. In addition, it is no longer effective in the desired manner on heavy, muddy ground. The gaps between the stop and counter-stop clog with earth or the like, so that the sole bulges upwards with increasing playing time. The interplay between stroke and counter strike is lost.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Sportschuh, insbesondere Fußballschuh zu schaffen, bei dem ein Durchbiegen der Sohle nach unten weitestgehend verhindert wird, ohne jedoch die für den Abrollvorgang notwendige Flexibilität der Sohle einzuschränken, und zwar unabhängig vom Untergrund, auf dem der Schuh eingesetzt wird.The object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe, in particular a soccer shoe, in which bending of the sole downward is largely prevented, but without restricting the flexibility of the sole necessary for the rolling process, regardless of the surface on which the shoe is used becomes.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Sportschuh nach den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst . Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen ange¬ geben.This object is achieved by a sports shoe according to the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are given in the subclaims.
Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, Zugbänder vorzuse- hen, welche sich vom vorderen und hinteren Ende der Sohle schräg nach oben aufeinander zulaufend zum Ristbereich des Schaftes hin erstrecken und insbesondere dort zu einem Stützgerüst miteinander verbunden sind.The main idea of the invention is to provide drawstrings which extend obliquely upwards from the front and rear ends of the sole towards the instep area of the shaft and in particular are connected to one another there to form a support structure.
Durch diese Anordnung der Zugbänder läßt sich die Sohle auf denkbar einfache Weise gegen ein Durchbiegen nach unten ver¬ steifen. Die Versteifungswirkung wird dabei durch den im Schuh befindlichen Fuß selbst erhöht, da das vordere und die beiden hinteren Zugbänder sich an ihrer Verbindungsstelle am Rist des Fußes abstützen. Dadurch kann einer Auslenkung der Sohle nach unten und einer entsprechenden Deformation des Schaftes wirksam entgegengewirkt werden.This arrangement of the drawstrings allows the sole to be stiffened in a very simple manner against bending downwards. The stiffening effect is increased by the foot in the shoe itself, since the front and the two rear drawstrings are supported at their connection point on the instep of the foot. A deflection of the sole downward and a corresponding deformation of the shaft can thereby be effectively counteracted.
Vorzugsweise werden das vordere und die beiden hinteren Zugbän- der durch eine insbesondere im Ristbereich des Schaftes ange¬ ordnete Schnürung oder einen Spannseilverschluß gegeneinander gespannt. Bei geöffneter Schnürung oder geöffnetem Spann¬ seilverschluß ist ein leichter Ein- und Ausstieg aus dem Schuh möglich. Durch die Schnürung bzw. den Spannseilverschluß lassen sich die Zugbänder derart vorspannen, daß die Sohle den gewünschten Versteifungseffekt erfährt. Durch die variablen Einstellmöglichkeiten der Schnürung oder des Spannseilver¬ schlusses ist nicht nur eine Anpassung an verschiedene Fu߬ formen möglich, sondern es läßt sich auch eine gewünschte Vorspannung der Zugbänder einstellen. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn den Zugbändern im Ristbereich gesonderte Spannmittel zugeordnet sind, d. h. Spannmittel, die unabhängig von der üblichen Schnürung etc. sind.The front and the two rear tension bands are preferably tensioned against one another by means of a lacing, in particular in the instep area of the shaft, or a tension cable closure. When the lacing is open or the tension cord lock is open, it is easy to get in and out of the shoe. The drawstrings can be pretensioned in such a way that the sole experiences the desired stiffening effect by means of the lacing or the tension cable closure. The variable adjustment options of the lacing or the tension cable lock not only allow adaptation to different foot shapes, but also a desired pretensioning of the tension straps can be set. This applies in particular if separate tensioning means are assigned to the tension bands in the instep area, i. H. Tensioning devices that are independent of the usual lacing etc.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn ein im wesentlichen quer zur Längserstreckung des Schuhs verlaufendes Stützelement vor¬ gesehen wird, welches an seinen beiden Enden im Mittelbereich der Sohle angreift und sich über den Ristbereich des Schaftes erstreckt. Ein derartiges Stützelement bewirkt eine weitere Versteifung der Sohle. Es ergänzt und erweitert die bereits vorstehend er¬ läuterte Abstützung durch die vorderen und hinteren Zugbänder. Durch die Gesamtanordnung von vorderem und hinteren Zugbändern, Stützelement und Sohle erhält man ein selbsttragendes Stützgerüst, das eine Durchbiegung nach unten verhindert, ohne die Flexibilität nach oben zu beeinträchtigen. Der Fuß selbst ist zur Versteifung nicht mehr erforderlich. Dadurch wird die Beweglichkeit des Fußes beim normalen Abrollvorgang gefördert. Der Fuß läßt sich unter geringerer Spannung im Schuh halten. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn das Stützelement mit dem vorderen und den beiden hinteren Zugbändern im Ristbereich knotenartig verbunden ist. Der Schaft hat dann im wesentlichen nur noch die Funktion, den Fuß "einzukleiden".Furthermore, it is advantageous if a support element is provided which runs essentially transversely to the longitudinal extent of the shoe and which engages at both ends in the central region of the sole and extends over the instep region of the upper. Such a support element brings about a further stiffening of the sole. It supplements and extends the support already explained above by the front and rear tension bands. The overall arrangement of the front and rear drawstrings, support element and sole provides a self-supporting support structure that prevents bending downwards without impairing flexibility upwards. The foot itself is no longer required for stiffening. This promotes the mobility of the foot during normal rolling. The foot can be held in the shoe with less tension. This applies in particular when the support element is connected to the front and the two rear tension bands in the instep area in a knot-like manner. The shaft then essentially only has the function of "cladding" the foot.
Vorzugsweise bestehen die Zugbänder aus Aramidfasern, insbesondere aus Kevlar® oder aus Carbonfasern. Derartige Fasern sind äußerst dehnungsarm und besitzen gleichzeitig eine extrem hohe Zugfestigkeit.The drawstrings preferably consist of aramid fibers, in particular of Kevlar® or of carbon fibers. Such fibers are extremely low-stretch and at the same time have extremely high tensile strength.
Das Stützelement kann aus einem relativ steifen PE-, PA- oder dergleichen Kunststoffband hergestellt sein. Bei einer besonders weichen Ausführungsform wird das Stützelement aus dem gleichen Material und in derselben Weise wie die Zugbänder hergestellt und am Schaft befestigt oder integriert.The support element can be made from a relatively rigid PE, PA or similar plastic tape. In a particularly soft embodiment, the support element is made of the same material and in the same way as the drawstrings and attached or integrated to the shaft.
Wenn die Zugbänder mit Leder oder dergleichen Schaftmaterialien verwoben sind, lassen sich flächige Streifen ausbilden, welche sich besonders gut an den Schaft des Schuhs anschmiegen.If the drawstrings are woven with leather or similar shaft materials, flat strips can be formed which nestle particularly well on the shaft of the shoe.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es in diesem Fall, die Zugbänder in den Schaft ein- bzw. aufzunähen. Dadurch lassen sich Rei¬ bungsstellen zwischen den Zugbändern und dem Schaft vermeiden. Schließlich können außen aufgenähte Zugbänder einem Sportschuh, insbesondere Fußballschuh, ein ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild verleihen. Die Erfindung wird nachstehend auch hinsichtlich weiterer Merk¬ male und Vorteile anhand der Beschreibung eines Ausführungs- beispiels und unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert.In this case, it is particularly advantageous to sew the drawstrings into or onto the shaft. In this way, friction points between the tension bands and the shaft can be avoided. Finally, drawstrings sewn on the outside can give an athletic shoe, in particular a soccer shoe, an attractive appearance. The invention is also explained in more detail below with regard to further features and advantages on the basis of the description of an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist skizzenhaft ein Fußballschuh dargestellt. Der Fußballschuh besteht aus einem Schaft 1 und einer Sohle 2. Schaft 1 und Sohle 2 sind nach einer der herkömmlichen Tech¬ niken miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise vernäht und/oder verschweißt oder verklebt. An der Unterseite der Sohle 2 sind in an sich bekannter Weise Noppen 14 angeordnet, welche für einen besseren Halt auf weichem Untergrund, wie Grasboden etc. dienen. Vom vorderen Sohlenende 6 erstreckt sich ein vorderes Zugband 3 schräg nach oben verlaufend zum Ristbereich 8 des Schaftes 1. Zwei hintere Zugbänder 4 und 5 erstrecken sich vom Fersenbereich 7 der Sohle bis in den Ristbereich 3 und sind dort mit dem vorderen Zugband 3 direkt oder indirekt, beispielsweise über Schnürlochleisten 13 (siehe Fig. 2) verbun¬ den. Das eine hintere Zugband 4 verläuft an einer Seite des Schaftes 1 ausgehend vom Rist zur Ferse. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Schaftes ist das andere Zugband 5 in entsprechender Weise angeordnet (vgl. Fig. 3) .In Fig. 1 a soccer shoe is shown sketchy. The soccer shoe consists of a shaft 1 and a sole 2. The shaft 1 and sole 2 are connected to one another according to one of the conventional techniques, for example sewn and / or welded or glued. Knobs 14 are arranged on the underside of the sole 2 in a manner known per se, which are used for a better grip on soft ground, such as grass floor etc. From the front sole end 6, a front drawstring 3 extends obliquely upwards to the instep area 8 of the upper 1. Two rear drawstrings 4 and 5 extend from the heel area 7 of the sole to the instep area 3 and are there directly or indirectly with the front drawstring 3 , for example via tie-bar strips 13 (see FIG. 2). The one rear drawstring 4 runs on one side of the shaft 1 starting from the instep to the heel. The other drawstring 5 is arranged in a corresponding manner on the opposite side of the shaft (cf. FIG. 3).
Zur Erhöhung der Versteifung und um eine Art selbsttragende Anordnung bereitzustellen, ist weiterhin ein bandartiges Stützelement 10 vorgesehen sein, welches im wesentlichen quer zur Längserstreckung des Schuhs verläuft und an seinen beiden Enden im Mittelbereich 11 der Sohle 2 angreift. Es erstreckt sich dabei über den Ristbereich 8 des Schafts 1, so daß der vom Stützelement 10 gebildete Bogen einen im Schuh aufgenommenen Fuß nicht behindert.In order to increase the stiffening and to provide a type of self-supporting arrangement, a band-like support element 10 is also provided, which runs essentially transversely to the longitudinal extent of the shoe and on both of it Attacks ends in the central region 11 of the sole 2. It extends over the instep area 8 of the shaft 1, so that the arch formed by the support element 10 does not hinder a foot received in the shoe.
Durch die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung von Zugbändern und Stützelement wird ein Durchbiegen der Sohle 2 nach unten wirk¬ sam verhindert. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn der Schuh angezogen ist, da dann eine zusätzliche Abstützung der Zugbänder am Fußrist erfolgt, und zwar bei dem dargestellten Beispiel über die Schnürlochleisten 13. Die bei einem Fußballschuh bei einem Spannschuß auf den vorderen Bereich 6 der Sohle 2 ausgeübte Kraft wird über das vordere Zugband 3 von den hinteren Zugbändern 4 , 5 und dem Stützelement 10 aufgenommen. Dadurch wird ein Durchbiegen der Sohle nach unten weitestgehend verhindert. Der Fuß wird entsprechend abgestützt. Bei einem Wanderschuh mit einem Stützgerüst der beschriebenen Art wird ein Eindrücken des Mittelbereichs 11 der Sohle 2 bei¬ spielsweise beim Auftreten auf einen Stein, eine Wurzel oder dergleichen Weg-Hindernis dadurch verhindert, daß sich dasThe arrangement of drawstrings and support element shown in FIG. 1 effectively prevents the sole 2 from bending downward. This is particularly true when the shoe is put on, since then the drawstrings are additionally supported on the instep, in the example shown via the lace strips 13. The force exerted on a football shoe during a clamping shot on the front area 6 of the sole 2 is taken up by the rear drawstrings 4, 5 and the support element 10 via the front drawstring 3. This largely prevents the sole from sagging downwards. The foot is supported accordingly. In the case of a hiking shoe with a support structure of the type described, the central region 11 of the sole 2 is prevented from being pressed in, for example, when it strikes a stone, a root or the like obstacle in that the

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte streifenförmige Ausbildung der Zugbänder entsteht dadurch, daß die Zugbänder mit Leder oder dergleichen Schaftmaterialien verwoben sind. Weiterhin sind die Zugbänder 3, 4, 5 auf den Schaft 1 auf- genäht, was dem Schuh insgesamt ein ansprechendes Äußeres ver¬ leiht.2 shows a soccer shoe according to the sketch of FIG. 1 in a side view. The front drawstring 3 and the rear drawstrings 4, 5 consist of aramid fibers, in particular of Kevlar ® or of carbon fibers. As a result, the drawstrings have a high tensile strength and are also extremely low-stretch. The strip-shaped design of the drawstrings shown in FIG. 2 arises from the fact that the drawstrings are interwoven with leather or similar shaft materials. Furthermore, the drawstrings 3, 4, 5 are sewn onto the shaft 1, which gives the shoe an overall appealing appearance.
Die Zugbänder 3, 4, 5 sind in dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 nicht direkt, sondern über zwei Schnürlochleisten 13 miteinander verbunden. Die Schnürlochleisten 13 sind derart gegenüber dem Schaftmaterial verstärkt, daß sie eine hohe Zug¬ festigkeit aufweisen und gleichzeitig sehr dehnungsarm sind. Die beiden Schnürlochleisten 13 begrenzen einen im Ristbereich 8 des Schaftes 1 ausgebildeten Schnürschlitz 12.The drawstrings 3, 4, 5 are not direct in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, but via two tie-bar strips 13 connected with each other. The laced hole strips 13 are reinforced in relation to the shaft material in such a way that they have a high tensile strength and at the same time are very low-stretch. The two lace hole strips 13 delimit a lace slot 12 formed in the instep area 8 of the shaft 1.
Das vordere Zugband 3 ist an beiden Schnürlochleisten 13 an deren vorderem, unterem Ende befestigt. Genausogut könnten die beiden Schnürlochleisten 13 vorne miteinander verbunden und das vordere Zugband im Bereich dieser Verbindung befestigt sein.The front drawstring 3 is fastened to both lace hole strips 13 at their front, lower end. The two lace strips 13 could just as well be connected to one another at the front and the front drawstring could be fastened in the region of this connection.
Die beiden hinteren Zugbänder 4, 5 sind ebenfalls an den beiden Schnürlochleisten 13 befestigt.The two rear drawstrings 4, 5 are also attached to the two lace strips 13.
Das Stützelement 10 kann entweder ohne unmittelbare Befestigung an den Schnürlochleisten 13 unter diesen hindurchlaufen und sich durchgehend über den Ristbereich des Schaftes 1 erstrecken; alternativ ist das Stützelement 10 in einen ersten und einen zweiten Abschnitt unterteilt. Der erste und zweite Abschnitt erstrecken sich dann jeweils vom Mittelbereich 11 der Sohle 2 ausgehend bis zu der jeweils zugeordneten Schnür¬ lochleiste 13 und sind an dieser befestigt.The support element 10 can either pass underneath without fastening directly to the lace strips 13 and extend continuously over the instep area of the shaft 1; alternatively, the support element 10 is divided into a first and a second section. The first and second sections then each extend from the central region 11 of the sole 2 up to the respectively assigned lace bar 13 and are fastened to it.
Die Befestigung der Zugbänder 3, 4, 5 sowie der beschriebenen Stützelementabschnitte an den Schnürlochleisten 13 kann nach einer an sich bekannten Technik erfolgen, beispielsweise durch Kleben, Nähen, Nieten, Schweißen, etc.. Gleiches gilt für die Verbindung mit der Sohle 2.The tie straps 3, 4, 5 and the described support element sections can be fastened to the lacquered perforated strips 13 using a technique known per se, for example by gluing, sewing, riveting, welding, etc. The same applies to the connection to the sole 2.
Die skizzenhafte Darstellung gemäß Fig. 3 zeigt schematisch das Grundgerüst bestehend aus den Zugbändern 3, 4, 5 und dem3 schematically shows the basic structure consisting of the tension bands 3, 4, 5 and
Stützelement 10 zur Versteifung einer Sohle 2 nach unten. Die Darstellung ist natürlich rein schematisch, denn zur Anpassung an den Fuß ist der Knoten, an dem die Zugbänder und das Stützelement zusammenlaufen längsgeteilt unter Ausbildung eines Schnürschlitzes. Damit läßt sich die durch das Stützelement 10 einerseits und die Sohle 2 andererseits definierte Ristöffnung des Schuhs verändern und individuell an den Fuß des Benutzers anpassen. Auch läßt sich dadurch die Abstützung der Sohle 2 nach oben einstellen. Selbstverständlich können in Rahmen der Erfindung weitere Zugbänder und Stützelemente vorgesehen oder deren Anordnung modifiziert werden. Das beschriebene Grundgerüst sollte jedoch in allen Fällen beibehalten werden. Denkbar ist z. B. dieSupport element 10 for stiffening a sole 2 downwards. The illustration is, of course, purely schematic, because to adapt to the foot, the knot at which the drawstrings and the support element converge are longitudinally divided to form a lacing slot. The instep opening of the shoe defined by the support element 10 on the one hand and the sole 2 on the other hand can thus be changed and individually adapted to the user's foot. This also allows the support of the sole 2 to be adjusted upwards. Of course, further drawstrings and support elements can be provided or their arrangement modified within the scope of the invention. However, the basic structure described should be retained in all cases. It is conceivable, for. B. the
Anordnung von zwei sich parallel zueinander oder etwa V-förmig nach vorne verlaufenden vorderen Zugbändern.Arrangement of two front drawstrings running parallel to one another or approximately in a V-shape.
Gleichermaßen ist es möglich, ein oder mehrere Zugbänder 3, 4, 5 ganz oder teilweise durch gleichwirkende, zugaufnehmende und relativ dehnungsarme Materialien oder Schaftabschnitte zu er¬ setzen, die vorzugsweise integraler Teil des Schaftes 1 sind. Bei dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Schuh ist über dem Fersenbereich 7 der Sohle 2 eine Fersenschaftkappe 15 ausgebildet, die mit dem Fersenbereich 7 der Sohle 2 verbunden ist. Die Zugbänder 4, 5 können, wenn die Fersenschaftkappe 15 entsprechend fest bzw. steif ausgebildet ist, anstatt an der Sohle 2 ebensogut an der Fersenschaftkappe 15 befestigt sein.Likewise, it is possible to replace one or more drawstrings 3, 4, 5 in whole or in part by equivalent, tension-absorbing and relatively low-stretch materials or shaft sections, which are preferably an integral part of the shaft 1. In the shoe shown in FIG. 2, a heel cap 15 is formed over the heel area 7 of the sole 2 and is connected to the heel area 7 of the sole 2. The drawstrings 4, 5 can, if the heel cap 15 is of a correspondingly firm or rigid design, be attached to the heel cap 15 as well instead of the sole 2.
In entsprechender Weise kann auch eine Zehenkappe ausgebildet sein, an der dann das vordere Ende des vorderen Zugbandes befestigt ist. In a corresponding manner, a toe cap can also be formed, to which the front end of the front drawstring is then attached.
