Abstract

THE INVENTION CONCERNS A SPORTS SHOE INCLUDING ON EACH SIDE OF THE UPPER 2 ANATOMICAL REINFORCEMENTS 3 DEVELOPING FROM THE UNDER-EYELET 5 AT THE LEVEL OF THE FOOT UP TO THE SOLE 6 AT THE LEVEL OF THE PLANT ARCH. AND EXTENDING UP TO A REAR STICK 7 NOW PARTLY A MATTRESS 11 FOR FILLING A CUT 10 PRACTICED AT THE REAR OF THE ROD 2 ABOVE THE REINFORCEMENTS 3 UP TO THE UPPER PART OF THE SAID ROD 2.

Description

The present invention relates to a sports shoe making it possible to

  effectively maintain the internal and external lateral ligaments, the malleoli and Achilles tendon, while allowing a

  freedom of expression of movements.

  We know that in sports, in many disciplines, the tibio-tarsal joint, ankle, ligaments and muscles of this region are subjected to forced movements which can cause serious injuries both in terms of normal relationships of the articular surfaces and '' at the level of muscles and ligaments. To date, no sports shoe effectively maintains the internal and external lateral ligaments while protecting the malleoli and the

  Achilles tendon and allowing the latter antero-

  Posterioruivention aims to overcome the disadvantages previously

ment exposed.

  The subject of the invention is a sports shoe which is characterized

  Térise in that it comprises on either side of the sides of the rod, an attached anatomical reinforcement, cut so as to match the malleolar contours, each of said reinforcements developing from the under-eyelet at the instep to the sole at the level of the arch of the foot oh they are linked during the mounting of the shoe, said reinforcements are extended on the other hand up to a rod

  attached rear to which they are fixed, their upper end

  lower being slightly offset from the upper end of the buttress

  of the shoe corresponding to the upper part of the calcaneus.

  and this, in order to release the Achilles tendon in particular in its

  anteroposterior movements, said tendon being nevertheless pro-

  covered by a flexible elastic material of padded material

  tee in a cutout of the rod provided for this purpose, the flexible material being partially held in its rear by the upper part of the attached rod with which it is connected. When cutting the added reinforcements, in order to match the malleolar contours, the upper of the shoe on either side on its internal faces is provided with padding up to mid-malleoli to protect the latter in the basic shoe case or

  to the top of the upper in the case of high shoes.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention stand out

  will emerge more clearly from the description which follows made opposite

  attached drawings given by way of nonlimiting example, o: - Figure 1 is a side view of a low shoe, - Figure 2, a rear view of the low shoe, - Figure 3, a partial view side of a high shoe,

  - Figure 4, a rear view of the high shoe.

  As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the shoe 1 has on either side of the upper 2 an anatomical reinforcement 3 attached and fixed to the upper 2 in leather for example, in one or more superimposed pieces, each said reinforcements 3 are cut into 4 so as to follow the malleolar contours, said reinforcements 3 developing from the under-eyelet 5 at the instep to the sole 6 o they are linked during assembly of the shoe to level of the arch of the foot, they extend to a rear strip 7 which is itself attached and linked to the upper 2 of the shoe, the rear upper part 8 of said reinforcements 3 being arranged slightly offset in height from the upper end of the buttress 9 which corresponds to the height of the calcaneus and this so as to release the Achilles tendon in its anteroposterior movements, release also obtained by a rear cutout 10 of the rod 2 filled with a padding 11 made of flexible elastic material allowing prot to lighten the Achilles tendon with voluntary or involuntary blows while generating the impression of good support of the shoe on the heel of the sportsman, in order to maintain and partially reinforce the padding 11 in its lower part, the added stick 7 extends beyond of the upper part 8 of the reinforcements 3. So as to preserve the malleoli at

  vertical to the cutout 4 of the reinforcements 3, a padding 12 is

  carried on the internal faces of the rod 2 up to the upper part

  of said upper of the shoe both for the low shoes represented

  tees figures 1 and 2 that the high shoes represented figures 3

  and 4. For the high shoes shown in Figures 3 and 4, the cutout

  eg rear 10 of rod Z extends to the upper part of

  said rod, said cutout being completely filled by the mattress-

sour flexible 11.
