Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Laufschuh mit Schnürung.The present invention relates to a lacing running shoe.

HINTERGRUND DER ERFINDUNGBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Bei Laufschuhen sind unter anderem ein guter Halt des Fusses und ein hoher Tragekomfort wichtige Eigenschaften. Hierzu sind Laufschuhe typischerweise mit einer Schnürung ausgestattet, um einen stabilen Halt des Fusses im Laufschuh zu gewährleisten. Dabei wird die Schnürung durch eine Schnur mit Schnurabschnitten, welche durch am Laufschuh angebrachte Ösen geführt wird, bewerkstelligt. Die Ösen sind häufig derart in zwei Reihen angeordnet, dass die Schnurabschnitte der Schnürung am Spann des Fusses anliegen.When it comes to running shoes, good foot support and high wearing comfort are important properties. For this purpose, running shoes are typically equipped with a lacing to ensure that the foot is held securely in the running shoe. The lacing is done by a cord with cord sections, which is passed through eyelets attached to the running shoe. The eyelets are often arranged in two rows in such a way that the cord sections of the lacing lie against the instep of the foot.

Bekannte Schnürungen sind zum Beispiel die Kreuzschnürung, bei der die Schnurabschnitte abwechselnd und kreuzweise durch gegenüberliegende Ösen geführt werden. Bei der Parallelschnürung werden die Schnurabschnitte derart durch die Ösen geführt, dass über den Spann verlaufende Schnurabschnitte parallel zur Querrichtung des Laufschuhs verlaufen.Known lacing is, for example, the cross lacing, in which the cord sections are passed alternately and crosswise through opposing eyelets. In the case of parallel lacing, the cord sections are guided through the eyelets in such a way that cord sections running over the instep run parallel to the transverse direction of the running shoe.

Bei Laufschuhen werden die Richtungen in der Regel wie folgt definiert: Die Längsrichtung des Laufschuhs wird durch eine vom Vorderfussbereich zum Fersenabschnitt des Laufschuhs verlaufende Achse definiert. Die Querrichtung wird durch eine zur Längsrichtung senkrechte Achse definiert. Eine quer über den Spann verlaufende Querrichtung ist so zu verstehen, dass sie in der Draufsicht des Laufschuhs der Achse, welche senkrecht zur Längsrichtung steht, entspricht, dem Profil des Spanns folgend in einer Frontalansicht des Laufschuhs aber gebogen sein kann.In the case of running shoes, the directions are generally defined as follows: The longitudinal direction of the running shoe is defined by an axis running from the forefoot area to the heel section of the running shoe. The cross direction will defined by an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A transverse direction running across the instep is to be understood as meaning that it corresponds to the axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the plan view of the running shoe, but can be curved following the profile of the instep in a frontal view of the running shoe.

Das Zählen der Ösen oder Ösenpaare ist so zu verstehen, dass mit dem Zählen im Vorderfussbereich des Laufschuhs begonnen wird, so dass die "ersten" Ösen diejenigen zwei Ösen des "ersten" Ösenpaars sind, welche am nächsten zur Fussspitze des Laufschuhs angeordnet sind. Die Angabe "in Längsrichtung auf gleicher Höhe" ist in Bezug auf die genannte Zählung zu verstehen, so dass zum Beispiel die zwei dritten Ösen in Längsrichtung auf gleicher Höhe liegen und das dritte Ösenpaar bilden. Die Angabe "gegenüberliegend" ist so zu verstehen, dass eine einer medialen/lateralen Öse gegenüberliegende Öse eine laterale/mediale Öse ist, wobei die beiden gegenüberliegenden Ösen nicht auf gleicher Höhe liegen müssen. Unter laterale/mediale Öse ist zu verstehen, dass die Öse an der lateralen/medialen Seite des Laufschuhs angeordnet ist.The counting of the eyelets or pairs of eyelets is to be understood in such a way that counting is started in the forefoot area of the running shoe, so that the "first" eyelets are those two eyelets of the "first" pair of eyelets which are arranged closest to the toe of the running shoe. The indication "in the longitudinal direction at the same height" is to be understood in relation to the mentioned count, so that, for example, the two third eyelets are at the same height in the longitudinal direction and form the third pair of eyelets. The term "opposite" is to be understood in such a way that an eyelet opposite a medial / lateral eyelet is a lateral / medial eyelet, whereby the two opposing eyelets do not have to be at the same height. Lateral / medial eyelet is to be understood as meaning that the eyelet is arranged on the lateral / medial side of the running shoe.

Bei manchen Schnürungen werden einige Ösen ausgelassen, d.h. die Schnur wird nicht durch diese Ösen geführt. Die Zählung der Ösen erfolgt in einem solchen Fall anhand der Ösen, durch welche die Schnur geführt wird.With some laces, some eyelets are left out, i.e. the cord is not passed through these eyelets. In such a case, the number of eyelets is counted on the basis of the eyelets through which the cord is passed.

Es sind verschiedene weitere Schnürungen bekannt, welche weder eine Kreuznoch eine Parallelschnürung darstellen. Ein Beispiel ist die Pentagrammschnürung, bei welcher die Schnur derart durch die Ösen geführt ist, dass die Schnurabschnitte der Schnur ein Pentagramm bilden, wobei die unteren zwei Spitzen des Pentagramms durch Schnurabschnitte, die durch die in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich ersten beiden Ösen verlaufen, gebildet werden. Die seitlichen zwei Spitzen des Pentagramms werden durch Schnurabschnitte gebildet, die durch zwei folgende Ösen, z.B. die dritten oder vierten Ösen verlaufen. Die obere Spitze des Pentagramms wird dadurch gebildet, dass der Schnurabschnitt, der die obere Spitze bildet, über einen anderen Schnurabschnitt verläuft, der zwei Ösen in Querrichtung miteinander verbindet. Der Schnurabschnitt, der die zwei Ösen in Querrichtung miteinander verbindet, dient somit als eine Art Träger für den Schnurabschnitt, der die obere Spitze bildet. Die Pentagrammschnürung dient primär ästhetischen Zwecken und bietet aufgrund der genannten Schnürungsart z.B. im Vergleich zur Kreuzschnürung eine geringere aufbringbare Zugkraft für einen festen Verschluss. Ausserdem ist die Pentagrammschnürung keine symmetrische Schnürung, da sich entsprechende Schnurabschnitte des Pentagramms nicht durch Schnurabschnitte der jeweiligen Hälften der Schnur gebildet werden.Various other lacing systems are known which are neither a cross nor a parallel lacing system. One example is the pentagram lacing, in which the cord is guided through the eyelets in such a way that the cord sections of the cord form a pentagram, the lower two tips of the pentagram being formed by cord sections which run through the first two eyelets in relation to the forefoot area. The two lateral tips of the pentagram are formed by sections of cord that run through two following eyelets, for example the third or fourth eyelets. The upper point of the pentagram is formed by the fact that the section of cord that forms the upper point runs over another section of cord that connects two eyelets with one another in the transverse direction. The cord section which connects the two eyelets to one another in the transverse direction thus serves as a kind of carrier for the cord section which forms the upper tip. The pentagram lacing primarily serves aesthetic purposes and, due to the type of lacing mentioned, for example, compared to the cross lacing, offers a lower tensile force that can be applied for a firm closure. In addition, the pentagram lacing is not a symmetrical lacing, since corresponding cord sections of the pentagram are not formed by cord sections of the respective halves of the cord.

Fieggen offenbart in lan's Shoelace Site (XP055287805) eine Schnürung für besonders lange Schnürsenkel.Fieggen discloses in lan's Shoelace Site (XP055287805) a lacing for particularly long shoelaces.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Aufgrund der Anwendungsmöglichkeiten im Alltag und insbesondere im Sport ist ein guter Halt im Laufschuh sowie ein hoher Tragekomfort von besonderer Wichtigkeit.Due to the possible uses in everyday life and especially in sports, a good hold in the running shoe and a high level of comfort are of particular importance.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Laufschuh bereitzustellen, der den Stand der Technik der Laufschuhe, insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Halt und den Tragekomfort verbessert.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a running shoe which improves the state of the art of running shoes, in particular with regard to support and wearing comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch einen Laufschuh gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Exemplarische und/oder vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen und der vorliegenden Offenbarung gegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention by a running shoe according to claim 1. Exemplary and / or advantageous embodiments are given in the dependent claims and the present disclosure.

Der erfindungsgemässe Laufschuh umfasst in Längsrichtung vom Vorderfussbereich des Laufschuhs zum Fersenabschnitt auf der medialen sowie lateralen Seite angeordnete mediale sowie laterale Ösen, wobei jeweils eine mediale Öse und eine zu dieser medialen Öse in Längsrichtung in Bezug auf eine im Vorderfussbereich des Laufschuhs beginnende Zählung der Ösen auf gleicher Höhe liegende laterale Öse ein Ösenpaar bilden. Im Vorderfussbereich umfasst der Laufschuh auf der medialen sowie lateralen Seite angeordnete Verstärkungsrippen, wobei die Verstärkungsrippen in einem schiefen Rippenwinkel zur Längsrichtung des Laufschuhs angeordnet sind. Weiter umfasst der Laufschuh eine einzelne Schnur mit Schnurabschnitten für eine Schnürung, wobei die Schnur derart durch die Ösen geführt ist, dass die sich von den Ösen des in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich ersten Ösenpaars erstreckenden Schnurabschnitte in einem schiefen Schnurwinkel zur Längsrichtung jeweils zu wenigstens einer weiteren, dem Fersenabschnitt näheren Öse verlaufen. Von den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars erstrecken sich jeweils zwei einen spitzen Öffnungswinkel einschliessende Schnurabschnitte. Die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars sind in die Verstärkungsrippen eingenäht.The running shoe according to the invention comprises medial and lateral eyelets arranged in the longitudinal direction from the forefoot area of the running shoe to the heel section on the medial and lateral side, with one medial eyelet and one medial eyelet connected to this medial eyelet in the longitudinal direction in relation to a count of the eyelets beginning in the forefoot area of the running shoe Lateral eyelets lying at the same height form a pair of eyelets. In the forefoot area, the running shoe comprises reinforcing ribs arranged on the medial and lateral side, the reinforcing ribs being arranged at an oblique rib angle to the longitudinal direction of the running shoe. The running shoe further comprises a single cord with cord sections for a lacing, the cord being passed through the eyelets in such a way that the cord sections extending from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets in relation to the forefoot area at an oblique cord angle to the longitudinal direction each to at least one other the eyelet closer to the heel section. From the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets, two cord sections each extend, enclosing an acute opening angle. The eyes of the first pair of eyes are sewn into the reinforcement ribs.

Ein schiefer Winkel wird als ein Winkel verstanden, der nicht 0°, 90° oder 180° beträgt.An oblique angle is understood as an angle that is not 0 °, 90 ° or 180 °.

Die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung der Verstärkungsrippen in einem schiefen Rippenwinkel zur Längsrichtung des Laufschuhs und der sich von den Ösen des in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich ersten Ösenpaars erstreckenden Schnurabschnitte in einem schiefen Schnurwinkel zur Längsrichtung bietet unter anderem den Vorteil, dass die Zugkräfte beim Anziehen der Schnürung nicht hauptsächlich in Querrichtung, sondern wesentlich wirksamer in einer schiefen Richtung wirken, wobei die Zugkräfte ohne zumindest grössere Umlenkung in die Verstärkungsrippen eingeleitet werden. Vorzugsweise haben der Rippenwinkel und die Schnurwinkel allenfalls gering voneinander abweichende Werte. Die Wirkung der Zugkraft der Schnürung in einer schiefen Richtung wirkt sich auch vorteilhaft auf den Tragekomfort aus, da der Vorderfussbereich weniger durch die Schnürung abgeklemmt wird. Dadurch kann die Schnürung fester angezogen werden, ohne dass der Tragekomfort beeinträchtigt wird, was sich wiederum positiv auf den Halt im Laufschuh auswirkt.The inventive arrangement of the reinforcing ribs at an inclined rib angle to the longitudinal direction of the running shoe and the cord section extending from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets in relation to the forefoot area at an inclined cord angle to the longitudinal direction offers, among other things the advantage that when the lacing is tightened, the tensile forces do not act mainly in the transverse direction, but much more effectively in an oblique direction, the tensile forces being introduced into the reinforcement ribs without at least a major deflection. The rib angle and the cord angle preferably have values that differ slightly from one another, if at all. The effect of the tensile force of the lacing in an oblique direction also has an advantageous effect on the wearing comfort, since the forefoot area is less pinched by the lacing. As a result, the lacing can be tightened without impairing the wearing comfort, which in turn has a positive effect on the hold in the running shoe.

Die Schnurwinkel können beispielsweise zwischen 25° und 65°, vorzugsweise zwischen 35° und 55°, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 40° und 50° liegen. Die Schnurwinkel werden durch den spitzen Winkel zwischen der Längsrichtung des Laufschuhs und den Schnurabschnitten definiert.The cord angles can for example be between 25 ° and 65 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, more preferably between 40 ° and 50 °. The cord angles are defined by the acute angle between the longitudinal direction of the running shoe and the cord sections.

Der Rippenwinkel kann beispielsweise zwischen 25° und 65°, vorzugsweise zwischen 35° und 55°, weiter vorzugsweise zwischen 40° und 50°, liegen. Der Rippenwinkel wird durch den spitzen Winkel zwischen der Längsrichtung des Laufschuhs und der Richtung der Verstärkungsrippe definiert.The rib angle can for example be between 25 ° and 65 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, more preferably between 40 ° and 50 °. The rib angle is defined by the acute angle between the longitudinal direction of the running shoe and the direction of the reinforcing rib.

Die medialen sowie lateralen Ösen sind vorzugsweise jeweils entlang einer Linie auf der medialen sowie lateralen Seite des Schaftes des Laufschuhs angeordnet. Der Laufschuh kann so ausgestaltet sein, dass ein Teil der medialen und/oder der lateralen Seite des Schaftes auf dem Spann anliegt, so dass die Ösen ebenfalls auf dem Spann anliegen können.The medial and lateral eyelets are preferably each arranged along a line on the medial and lateral side of the upper of the running shoe. The running shoe can be designed so that part of the medial and / or the lateral side of the shaft rests on the instep so that the eyelets can also rest on the instep.

Vorzugsweise sind eine mediale Öse und eine laterale Öse eines dem in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich ersten Ösenpaar folgenden Ösenpaars direkt durch einen Schnurabschnitt verbunden. Bei der direkten Verbindung verläuft der Schnurabschnitt, der die mediale Öse und die laterale Öse verbindet, in der Regel entlang der Querrichtung des Laufschuhs über den Spann. Liegen die Ösen eines Ösenpaars jedoch nicht beide auf der Querrichtung, so kann die direkte Verbindung auch schief in Bezug auf die Längsrichtung verlaufen. Durch die direkte Verbindung der Ösen eines Ösenpaars, das dem ersten Ösenpaar folgt, kann eine direkte Verbindung der Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars vermieden werden. Eine solche Schnürung unterscheidet sich daher z.B. von einer aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kreuzschnürung, bei welcher die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars direkt verbunden sind und die Zugkraft beim Anziehen der Schnürung daher hauptsächlich in Querrichtung des Laufschuhs wirkt.A medial eyelet and a lateral eyelet of a pair of eyelets following the first pair of eyelets in relation to the forefoot area are preferably connected directly by a cord section. In the case of the direct connection, the section of cord that connects the medial eyelet and the lateral eyelet usually runs along the transverse direction of the running shoe over the instep. However, if the eyelets of a pair of eyelets are not both in the transverse direction, the direct connection can also run obliquely in relation to the longitudinal direction. By directly connecting the eyelets of a pair of eyelets that follow the first pair of eyelets, a direct connection of the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets can be avoided. Such a lacing therefore differs, for example, from a cross lacing known from the prior art, in which the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets are directly connected and the tensile force when the lacing is tightened therefore acts mainly in the transverse direction of the running shoe.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die direkt durch einen Schnurabschnitt verbundene mediale und laterale Öse die Ösen des in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich zweiten Ösenpaars. Eine solche Schnürung kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, indem jedes Ende einer Schnur zuerst jeweils durch die mediale und die laterale Öse des zweiten Ösenpaars gezogen wird, dann der jeweilige Schnurabschnitt von der medialen/lateralen Öse des zweiten Ösenpaars zur gegenüberliegenden lateralen/medialen Öse des ersten Ösenpaars gezogen wird, und von den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars die jeweiligen Schnurabschnitte zu den gegenüberliegenden Ösen des dritten Ösenpaars gezogen werden. Dadurch kann eine sternähnliche Schnürung entstehen, wobei die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars nicht direkt miteinander verbunden sind.In a preferred embodiment, the medial and lateral eyelets connected directly by a section of cord are the eyelets of the second pair of eyelets in relation to the forefoot area. Such a lacing can be achieved, for example, by first pulling each end of a cord through the medial and lateral eyelets of the second pair of eyelets, then the respective cord section from the medial / lateral eyelet of the second pair of eyelets to the opposite lateral / medial eyelet of the first pair of eyelets is pulled, and from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets the respective string sections to the opposite eyelets of the third pair of eyelets are pulled. This can result in a star-like lacing, whereby the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets are not directly connected to one another.

Es kann somit von den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars jeweils ein erster Schnurabschnitt zur gegenüberliegenden Öse des zweiten Ösenpaars und ein zweiter Schnurabschnitt zur gegenüberliegenden Öse des dritten Ösenpaars verlaufen.A first cord section can thus each run from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets to the opposite eyelet of the second pair of eyelets and a second cord section to the opposite eyelet of the third pair of eyelets.

Für die Ösen des zweiten Ösenpaars oder der folgenden Ösenpaare kann eine direkte Verbindung und eine daraus folgende Zugkraft in Querrichtung des Laufschuhs vorteilhaft und erwünscht sein, da in diesem Bereich des Laufschuhs die Teile der medialen sowie lateralen Seite des Laufschuhs möglichst effizient in Querrichtung zusammengezogen werden sollten.For the eyelets of the second pair of eyelets or the following pairs of eyelets, a direct connection and a resulting tensile force in the transverse direction of the running shoe can be advantageous and desirable, since in this area of the running shoe the parts of the medial and lateral side of the running shoe should be pulled together as efficiently as possible in the transverse direction .

In einer Ausführungsform sind die auf die direkt durch einen Schnurabschnitt verbundenen Ösen eines Ösenpaars folgenden, dem Fersenabschnitt näheren Ösen durch eine Kreuzschnürung verbunden.In one embodiment, the eyelets that follow the eyelets of a pair of eyelets that are directly connected by a cord section and are closer to the heel section are connected by a cross lacing.

In einer Ausführungsform sind die auf die direkt durch einen Schnurabschnitt verbundenen Ösen eines Ösenpaars folgenden, dem Fersenabschnitt näheren Ösen durch eine Parallelschnürung verbunden.In one embodiment, the eyelets following the eyelets of a pair of eyelets that are directly connected by a cord section and are closer to the heel section are connected by a parallel lacing.

Der erfindungsgemässe Laufschuh kann daher je nach Anwendungsgebiet des Laufschuhs eine konventionelle Schnürung aus dem Stand der Technik für diejenigen Ösen umfassen, welche auf die durch einen Schnurabschnitt direkt verbundenen Ösen folgen.The running shoe according to the invention can therefore, depending on the area of application of the running shoe, comprise a conventional lacing from the prior art for those eyelets which follow the eyelets directly connected by a cord section.

Der Laufschuh umfasst eine einzelne Schnur für die Schnürung.The running shoe includes a single cord for lacing.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars jeweils an der medialen sowie an der lateralen Verstärkungsrippe angeordnet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Zugkräfte der Schnurabschnitte, die sich von den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars erstrecken, an den Verstärkungsrippen angreifen können. Mit einem geeigneten Rippenwinkel und geeigneten Schnurwinkeln kann damit beim Anziehen der Schnürung eine effiziente Kraftübertragung und optimale Druckverteilung im Vorderfussbereich ermöglicht werden, bei welcher ein Grossteil der Kraft auf die Verstärkungsrippen und in die Richtung dieser Verstärkungsrippen geleitet wird.According to a preferred embodiment, the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets are each arranged on the medial and on the lateral reinforcing rib. This has the advantage that the tensile forces of the cord sections which extend from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets can act on the reinforcing ribs. With a suitable rib angle and suitable cord angles, an efficient power transmission and optimal pressure distribution in the forefoot area can be made possible when tightening the lacing, in which a large part of the force is directed to the reinforcement ribs and in the direction of these reinforcement ribs.

In einer Ausführungsform ist in Längsrichtung der Abstand zwischen den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars und den Ösen des zweiten Ösenpaars grösser als der jeweilige Abstand in Längsrichtung zwischen den Ösen der nachfolgenden Ösenpaare. Die sich von den Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars erstreckenden Schnurabschnitte schliessen einen spitzen Öffnungswinkel ein.In one embodiment, the distance in the longitudinal direction between the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets and the eyelets of the second pair of eyelets is greater than the respective distance in the longitudinal direction between the eyelets of the subsequent pairs of eyelets. The cord sections extending from the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets enclose an acute opening angle.

In einer Ausführungsform sind die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars in die Verstärkungsrippen eingenähte Schlaufen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die über die Ösen des ersten Ösenpaars übertragenen Zugkräfte effizienter auf die Verstärkungsrippen geleitet werden.In one embodiment, the eyes of the first pair of eyes are loops sewn into the reinforcing ribs. This has the advantage that the tensile forces transmitted via the eyelets of the first pair of eyelets are directed more efficiently to the reinforcement ribs.

BESCHREIBUNG EXEMPLARISCHER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Um die Erfindung zu veranschaulichen, wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform mit Bezug auf die Figuren näher beschrieben.In order to illustrate the invention, a preferred embodiment is described in more detail with reference to the figures.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht einer Ausführungsform eines rechten Laufschuhs 1 mit Schnürung. Der Laufschuh 1 umfasst an der medialen sowie lateralen Seite des Laufschuhs 1 angeordnete mediale sowie laterale Ösen 2. Die Ösen 2 sind in zwei Reihen entlang der Längsrichtung L vom Vorderfussbereich V zum Fersenabschnitt F verlaufend angeordnet. Die Schnürung wird durch eine Schnur 4 mit Schnurabschnitten 41 bewerkstelligt, welche durch die Ösen 2 geführt wird. Im Vorderfussbereich V sind an der medialen sowie lateralen Seite des Laufschuhs 1 Verstärkungsrippen 3 in einem schiefen Rippenwinkel zur Längsrichtung L angeordnet. Die Ösen 21 des in Bezug auf den Vorderfussbereich V ersten Ösenpaars sind in die Verstärkungsrippen 3 eingenäht. Die Ösen 21 sind als Schlaufen ausgebildet. Von den Ösen 21 des ersten Ösenpaars verlaufen jeweils zwei Schnurabschnitte 411 und 412 zu den folgenden Ösen 22 und 23. Der Schnurabschnitt 411 verläuft in einem ersten schiefen Schnurwinkel zur Längsrichtung L von der medialen/lateralen Öse 21 des ersten Ösenpaars zur lateralen/medialen Öse 22 des zweiten Ösenpaars. Der Schnurabschnitt 412 verläuft in einem zweiten schiefen Schnurwinkel zur Längsrichtung L von der medialen/lateralen Öse 21 des ersten Ösenpaars zur lateralen/medialen Öse 23 des dritten Ösenpaars. Wird die Schnürung angezogen, so wirken die Zugkräfte durch die Schnur 4 hauptsächlich in den Richtungen der Verstärkungsrippen 3. Die Ösen 22 des zweiten Ösenpaars sind direkt durch einen Schnurabschnitt 413 verbunden. Der Schnurabschnitt 413 verläuft entlang der Querrichtung Q. Die Ösen, welche den direkt verbundenen Ösen 22 folgen, sind durch eine Kreuzschnürung verbunden. Anstelle der Kreuzschnürung kann aber auch eine Parallelschnürung verwendet werden. Figure 1 shows a plan view of an embodiment of a right running shoe 1 with laces. The running shoe 1 comprises medial and lateral eyelets 2 arranged on the medial and lateral sides of the running shoe 1. The eyelets 2 are arranged in two rows running along the longitudinal direction L from the forefoot area V to the heel section F. The lacing is accomplished by a cord 4 with cord sections 41, which is passed through the eyelets 2. In the forefoot area V, reinforcement ribs 3 are arranged on the medial and lateral sides of the running shoe 1 at an inclined rib angle to the longitudinal direction L. The eyelets 21 of the first pair of eyelets in relation to the forefoot area V are sewn into the reinforcing ribs 3. The eyelets 21 are designed as loops. Two cord sections 411 and 412 each run from the eyelets 21 of the first pair of eyelets to the following eyelets 22 and 23. The cord section 411 runs at a first inclined cord angle to the longitudinal direction L from the medial / lateral eyelet 21 of the first pair of eyelets to the lateral / medial eyelet 22 of the second pair of eyelets. The cord section 412 runs at a second oblique cord angle to the longitudinal direction L from the medial / lateral eyelet 21 of the first pair of eyelets to the lateral / medial eyelet 23 of the third pair of eyelets. If the lacing is tightened, the tensile forces through the cord 4 mainly act in the directions of the reinforcing ribs 3. The eyelets 22 of the second pair of eyelets are connected directly by a cord section 413. The cord section 413 runs along the transverse direction Q. The eyelets which follow the directly connected eyelets 22 are connected by a cross lacing. Instead of the cross lacing, however, a parallel lacing can also be used.

Figur 2 zeigt den Laufschuh 1 aus Fig. 1 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht. Es ist zu erkennen, dass die Schnurabschnitte 41 der Schnur 4 über dem Spann S verlaufen. Figure 2 shows the running shoe 1 from Fig. 1 in a perspective view. It can be seen that the cord sections 41 of the cord 4 run over the instep S.
