Definitions

  • the invention relates to an article of footwear, in particular a motorcycle boot.
  • Motocross boots are already known having a leather upper on which plastic reinforcements are fixed.
  • the reinforcements provide protection, while the leather provides the connection between the reinforcements while allowing a certain flexibility.
  • Such boots are hardly satisfactory in that protection is limited.
  • the footwear item comprises a rigid shell made of a first material and defining a body intended to envelop the foot of a user, the body having a lower part forming a sole, an upper part upper, an internal lateral part and an external lateral part, said lateral parts connecting the upper part and the upper part, these four parts extend in a direction of elongation between a first zone forming a heel and a second zone forming a point, said article has an opening circumscribed in only one of said four body parts, said opening passing through the rigid shell and being closed by a flexible pad made of a second material, said second material being more flexible than the first.
  • the rigid shell provides effective protection of the user's foot against impact.
  • the opening located through the shell allows the user to feel, via the flexible pad, the contact of the footwear with an external element, such as a gear lever or motorcycle foot brake.
  • the footwear advantageously comprises more than one opening passing through the shell, but each of them is included in a single part of the body so as not to compromise the rigidity of the shell and the protection of the user.
  • the opening is arranged away from the ends of the body in the direction of elongation.
  • the opening is formed in an area of the lower part serving as support for the sole of the user.
  • the invention proposes that the opening extends transversely to the direction of elongation over less than half the width of the footwear.
  • the opening made through the shell hardly reduces the protection of the foot and does not interfere with the user to walk.
  • the pad extends recessed with respect to the rigid shell.
  • the skate is less likely to be damaged when the user walks on the ground.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a boot according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the boot
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged view along the line marked m-m in Figure 2.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a motorcycle boot 1 essentially comprising a body 4 intended to receive the foot of a motorcyclist and articulated with respect to a part 2 forming a rod intended to receive the leg of the motorcyclist by means of joint 30.
  • the body 4 has an internal face and an external face. It essentially consists of a rigid shell 5 extending in an elongation direction 6 between a rear zone 8 forming a heel and a front zone 10 forming a point. It comprises a lower part forming a sole 20, an upper part forming an upper 22, an internal lateral part 21 and an external lateral part 23 connecting the lower part 20 and the upper part 22.
  • Openings 16, 18 are provided over the entire thickness of the shell 5 to allow the user to have tactile sensations.
  • Each of said openings 16, 18 is included in only one of the four parts, lower 20, upper 22 and lateral 21, 23 to keep the body rigid and provide good protection for the user's foot.
  • These openings 16, 18 are formed respectively in the lower part forming the sole 20 and in the upper part 22 forming the upper. They are closed by flexible lower 12 and upper 14 pads extending inside said openings and circumscribed in the immediate vicinity of said openings.
  • said openings 16, 18 are produced substantially away from the front 24 and rear 26 ends of the body 4 in the direction of elongation 6.
  • the lower opening 16 is made in the sole 20 in the toe area 10, and more precisely in an area intended to receive the sole of the user. It extends transversely to the direction of elongation 6 from the internal face 4a over a width slightly less than half the width of the boot at this location.
  • the flexible shoe 12 has a slight setback 28 relative to the general surface of the sole 20.
  • the upper opening 18 is produced in the point region 10 and more precisely in the upper 22, substantially in its middle in the longitudinal direction 6.
  • the flexible pads 12, 14 inside the openings 16, 18 provision could be made for the flexible pads to further extend slightly outside the openings 16, 18, in the immediate vicinity of said openings, which would furthermore prevent premature wear at this location of the inner lining (not shown) intended to be inserted inside the body 4 in order to receive the user's foot there closely.
  • the pad is advantageously made of leather or foam based on elastomeric material. Its hardness is advantageously between 60 and 80 shores, while the hardness of the rigid shell 4 is advantageously between 80 and 120 shores. In addition, the shore hardness value of the rigid shell 4 is advantageously at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, compared to the shore hardness value of the shoe 12.
