Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe comprising a bottom sole, a top upper and elastic means for tightening the upper on a foot inserted in the shoe.
  • the present invention relates to a football (or five-a-side football) shoe to which specific reference is made in the description which follows.
  • Conventional football shoes consist of a bottom sole above which an upper is attached, normally made of leather or imitation leather, closed at the top with laces at a closer tongue.
  • solutions were proposed in which the shoe is closed with a strap (US patent 5,555,650), solutions with elastic closing on the front of the upper (patent EP 283 419), mixed solutions (patent DE 11 22 411), solutions in which the lacing is moved to the outer side of the shoe (patents EP 184 996, SU 1 618 372), hook and loop fastener solutions (patent GB 2360926), solutions in which there is an element covering the top part of the shoe (patent DE 38 37 504), and so on.
  • Construction solutions without lacing have also been developed for shoes not necessarily intended for use when playing football, for example in patents WO 99/37176, EP 1 340 436, GB 2 131 677, US 4 451 995, GB 1 442 343 and US 5 513 450.
  • Patent US 5 765 296 also makes known the fitting of an elastic insert to facilitate shoe adhesion to the foot during movements of the foot.
  • the technical need of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe which guarantees perfect adhesion to the foot simultaneously with optimum sensitivity while kicking a ball.
  • Another technical need of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe with limited weight.
  • a further technical need of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe with a high level of practicality in terms of putting on the shoe.
  • the numeral 1 denotes as a whole a sports shoe 1 according to the present invention.
  • the sports shoe 1 comprises a bottom sole 2 and a top upper 3 attached to the sole 2.
  • the sole 2 has the typical configuration of football shoes and, therefore, has a plurality of studs 4 in it.
  • the sole 2 will have different configurations suitable for the relative use.
  • the upper 3 has a continuous top edge 5 which forms the opening 6 for insertion of a foot in the shoe 1.
  • the shoe 1 also has elastic means 7 for tightening the upper 3 on a foot inserted in the shoe 1, comprising at least a first and a second portion 8, 9 of the upper 3 which are elastically deformable.
  • the first portion 8 forms, starting from a front part 10 of the continuous top edge 5, part of a top zone 11 of the upper 3, whilst the second portion 9 forms, starting from a rear part 12 of the continuous edge 5, part of a rear zone 13 of the upper 3.
  • the continuous top edge 5 consists of the portions 8, 9 themselves and therefore is also elastically deformable.
  • first and the second portions 8, 9 are also in direct contact with one another and form a single elastically deformable portion extending along most of the top edge 5, encompassing the foot on the inside, the outside or all around it.
  • At least the first and the second portions 8, 9 are made of bielastic material so that they are deformable in at least two directions which are transversal to one another.
  • the portions 8 and 9 may also have different thicknesses from one another, to limit the elasticity of the portions 8 and 9 when putting on the shoe and to improve its ability to hold the foot during play.
  • the first portion 8 of the upper 3 extends over most of the top zone 11 of the upper 3, and, in particular, it extends mainly towards an inner side 14 of the shoe 1 corresponding, in practice, to the inside of the foot.
  • the second portion 9 may at least partly converge towards the inside of the opening 6 (as illustrated in Figure 2 in particular the part 15 of the second portion 8 closest to the continuous top edge 5 converges), and the first portion 8 forms, at the front part 10 of the continuous top edge 5, an appendage 16 also extending towards the inside of the opening 6.
  • the upper 3 is completely made of elastically deformable material.
  • it may be made completely of a single piece of elastically deformable material.
  • the stiffening material 17, 18 is a substantially non-elastically deformable material which, when attached locally to the upper 3, prevents elastic deformation of the latter in the zones in which it is applied.
  • stiffening material 17, 18 is applied to the outside of the upper 3 (accompanying drawings), there are also other embodiments in which the stiffening material 17, 18 is applied inside the upper 3.
  • the sports shoe disclosed guarantees on one hand optimum sensitivity when kicking a ball thanks to the absence of bulky elements at the instep, and on the other hand perfect adhesion to the foot.
  • adhesion of the shoe to the foot is accentuated when the second elastically deformable portion is angled towards the front of the shoe and converges towards the opening 6 for the foot.
  • sports shoes made in accordance with the present invention are very practical to put on, since, to insert one's foot, it is sufficient to elastically deform the first and the second portions, widening the opening (for example acting on the appendage of the first portion and the converging part of the second portion). Then, once the foot is inserted, the elastic spring-back of the two portions guarantees adhesion of the shoe to the foot.
  • the shoes can be made with a completely smooth interior surface.
