Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe particularly for sports practice, in particular for ski mountaineering or downhill skiing.
  • boots which have a shell made of rigid plastic material which wraps around the foot of the user and to which an appropriately provided quarter is pivoted which covers the leg partially;
  • these known types of boot typically have an innerboot, made of soft material, which is adapted to increase comfort while wearing the boots.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a shoe, particularly for sports practice, which protects the foot adequately during skiing and further allows to achieve easy flexing of the shell to facilitate walking.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a shoe, particularly for sports practice, which in addition to allowing easy flexing is capable at the same time of providing great wearing comfort and support for the foot of the user both during skiing and during walking.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe which ensures adequate contact between the foot and the shell so as to allow correct control of the ski.
  • Another object is to provide a shoe which is structurally simple and has low production costs.
  • a shoe particularly for sports practice, which comprises a shell to which at least one quarter is coupled, characterized in that one or more transverse notches or openings are formed in the sole region and partially in the region of the sides of said shell, are adapted to facilitate flexing, and can be closed by means of at least one removable insert.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a shoe, particularly for sports practice, particularly ski mountaineering or downhill skiing, which comprises a shell 2 which covers the foot and the ankle of the user and to which at least one quarter 4, which is extended so as to cover part of the tibia, is coupled by means of appropriately provided studs 3.
  • one or more transverse notches or openings are provided in the region of a sole 5 and partially of sides 6a, 6b of the shell 2.
  • the one or more notches or openings 7 are formed starting from the region adjacent to a plantar arch 8, advantageously the region closest to a tip 9 of the shell 2, but in any case in a region which is interposed between a heel unit 10 and a tip 11, both of which are standardized.
  • each opening has a first portion 12, which lies transversely to the shell 2 and has a rectangular plan shape, followed at each side 6a, 6b of the shell 2 by a second portion 13 which is approximately cusp-shaped, with the tip directed away from the sole 5.
  • the second portion 13 of the three openings 7 is aligned along an axis which forms, with respect to the sole contact plane, an acute angle if a counterclockwise rotation is considered positive with reference to the accompanying figures.
  • the depth of the openings 7 increases from the tip 11 of the shoe 1 toward the heel unit 10 thereof.
  • the one or more notches or openings 7 can be closed by means of at least one removable insert 14; advantageously, the at least one insert 14 can be inserted from the inside of the shell 2 and has a base 15 with protrusions 16 which protrude from it and can be positioned at the one or more notches or openings 7 so as to block them.
  • At least the protrusions 16 are advantageously made of an elastically deformable plastic material and are inserted so as to close the one or more notches or openings 7 in a partially elastically compressed condition; the protrusions 16 therefore tend to return elastically to their non-deformed condition, pushing against the perimetric edges of the one or more notches or openings 7 so as to widen them, facilitating the flexing of the shell 2.
  • the insert 14 is constituted by the base 15 which has an arc-like shape which follows partially the internal shape of the region of the plantar arch 8; during use, the base 15 is arranged inside the shell 2 and engages the bottom 17 and the sides 6a, 6b thereof.
  • a recess 18 is formed on the bottom 17 and on the sides 6a, 6b of the shell 2, in the region which during use is engaged with the base 15; the recess is shaped approximately complementarily to said base and forms, at the sides 6a and 6b, respectively two abutments 18a and 18b, which are adapted to abut against the longitudinal ends 15a and 15b of the base 15 in order to keep the base coupled to the shell 2 in the selected position.
  • the base 15 in fact has such dimensions that during its placement in the shell 2, in order to be arranged in the recess 18 it has to be slightly deformed elastically, by moving mutually closer its longitudinal ends 15a and 15b; once it has been inserted in the recess 18, the two longitudinal ends 15a and 15b return to their non-deformed condition, engaging respectively the abutments 18a and 18b, so as to keep the base 15 coupled within the recess 18.
  • the base 15 can be fixed to the shell 2 also by means of suitable screws and/or rivets, which are not shown in the accompanying figures.
  • the protrusions 16 protrude from the lower face of the base 15, are equal in number to the one or more notches or openings 7, and are shaped complementarily thereto, so that they are positioned so that each one is arranged, during use, inside one of said notches or openings so as to close them.
  • the protrusions 16 are made of elastically deformable plastic material and can be inserted in the respective notch or opening 7 only after they have been compressed elastically; during the flexing of the shell 2, the one or more notches or openings 7 are widened in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shell 2, and the previously compressed protrusions 16 expand elastically in the same direction, thus keeping constantly closed the respective notch or opening 7.
  • the protrusions 16 protrude, during use, externally and approximately at right angles with respect to the shell 2.
  • the shell 2 is repeatedly brought to the flexing condition shown in Figure 5; in such condition, the one or more notches or openings 7 are widened in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shell 2 and the previously compressed protrusions 16 expand elastically in the same direction, keeping the respective notch or opening 7 again completely closed.
  • both the tip 11 and the heel unit 10 of the shoe 1 are fixed to the bindings of the skis, not shown in the accompanying figures, thus locking the shell 2 in the non-deformed condition and accordingly ensuring optimum protection and support of the foot of the user while skiing.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a shoe particularly for sports practice having been devised which, by way of the presence of the one or more notches or openings in the lower region of the shell, allows to achieve easy flexing of the shell, so as to facilitate walking without skis.
  • the particular shape of the upper region of the shell allows to arrange thereon for example additional closure hooks, so as to be able to adjust very effectively the degree of fastening of the shoe, improving foot comfort and support and ensuring adequate contact between the foot and the shell, so as to allow correct control of the ski.
  • the production costs of the shoe according to the invention remain low, since it is provided only by means of components which are easy to manufacture and/or assemble.
