Description

  The present invention relates to a shoe that can be easily tightened and provides a good fit.

The clamping structure of the shoe, are known structures cinching through shoelace over the Shaft from the instep portion of the vamp, as boots for snowboarding, the upper cover portion with a higher than the ankle portion of Many of the tightening structures of the shoelaces are also used for the shoes having the shape.

  However, this tightening structure with shoelaces is tightened in order from the toe side, but in shoes where the upper cover part reaches the shin part like a snowboard boot, it is tightened from the toe to the shin part. It requires a lot of force and takes time and effort. Further, when the shin part is tightened, the toe side is loosened, making it difficult to tighten firmly.

  In view of this, snowboard boots that have been variously devised so as to be able to easily and quickly perform such troublesome tightening have been proposed.

  For example, independent shoelaces are provided for the instep part and the shin part of the boot so that the tightness of the instep part and the shin part can be adjusted separately so as not to loosen. There has been proposed a snowboard boot (see Patent Document 1) having a tightening structure which is provided with a strap fastening means and prevents the shoelace from being easily loosened by the strap fastening means. Since the upper part and the shin part are tightened separately, it is difficult for loosening to occur, and even a weak person can easily perform the tightening operation.

  In addition, a snowboard boot having a tightening structure that can be easily tightened by winding the shoelace with a dial-type device has been proposed. According to this boot, no force is required for tightening, and the wound shoelace is There is an advantage that the knot does not appear when wound around the dial, so that the appearance is good and the knot of the shoelace does not interfere with the strap belt of the binding.

  However, in the former boot, since the shoelaces that are left over after the tightening appear in two places, the ankle part and the shin part, for example, a place where the extra shoelaces are hooked is provided. However, it is not a satisfactory processing method, and excess shoelaces and handle parts for improving operability interfere with the strap belt of the snowboard binding and the fixing state of the boot to the binding becomes poor. There was a case.

  In the latter boot, the range that can be tightened is mainly from the ankle to the shin, and it is difficult to get a good fit from the toes to the ankle. Since it cannot be easily repaired, there are many problems that users are confused at the site (ski resort).

  The present invention seeks to solve the problems found in the conventional snowboard boots and to solve the problems. The tightening operation can be performed very easily and a good fit can be obtained. When the knot is not exposed (protruded), for example, when applied to a snowboard boot, the shoelace can be fixed to the binding well without interfering with the strap belt of the binding. It provides epoch-making shoes with excellent practicality.
