shallow shell 1 is so designated because a shallow or low-height side wall 13 may not form a very hard or rigid side wall for the skate shoe. The too rigid shell will influence the maneuverability of the skating skill and may make the skate player uncomfortable. So, the present invention discloses a low-height orshallow shell 1 for a comfortable wearing and a maneuverable skating. - Each flexible reinforcing
member 2 is made of flexible sheet or plate member including: plastic, rubber, elastomers, or any other materials having proper flexibility, elasticity and strength. - Each reinforcing
member 2 may be sewn to theshell 1 by stitching threads S as shown in FIGS. 3, 4; or each reinforcingmember 1 be secured to theshell 1 by riveting R as shown in FIG. 5. Each reinforcingmember 2 has itsbottom edge portion 22 further riveted to thesole portion 11 of theshell 1. - The reinforcing

upper member 3 has itslower edge portion 31 fastened to each flexible reinforcingmember 2 by afastener 4 as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 2, and aflap 32 formed on an upper edge of theupper member 3 having a plurality ofeyelets 33 formed in eachflap 32 so that the pair offlaps 32 may be tied together by a shoelace L and further fastened by a buckle B and power strap Ps as shown in FIG. 1. - The
upper member 3 is made of fabric, leather or other upper materials suitable for making a shoe upper having good touch feeling, flexibility and capable of being formed with decorative features thereon. - The
fastener 4 as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 is a zip fastener and includes a first-row teeth 41 longitudinally formed on theflexible reinforcing member 2 which is secured to theshell 1; a second-row teeth 42 longitudinally formed on alower edge portion 31 of the convertibleupper member 3; and a slidingtab 43 slidably coupling the first-row teeth 41 with the second-row teeth 42 for detachably fastening the convertibleupper member 3 to the flexible reinforcingmember 2 as shown in FIG. 2. - Two (right and left)
upper members 3 are respectively fastened to the two reinforcingmembers 2 by twozip fasteners 4 in order to complete a shoe to be mounted on an in-line roller skate as shown in FIG. 1, or any other skating devices (not shown). - The fastener may be modified to be a Velcro tape fastener4 a as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, which includes: a
first strip 41 a having tiny hooked threads formed on the first strip and secured to the reinforcingmember 2 secured to the shell 1 (FIG. 8); and asecond strip 42 a having a coarse surface formed on the second strip and formed on an inside surface of the upper member 3 (FIG. 9); whereby upon pressing of thesecond strip 42 a and thefirst strip 41 a of the Velcro tape fastener 4 a, theupper member 3 will be detachably fastened to the reinforcingmember 2. - As shown in FIGS. 10, 11, the fastener may be modified to be a button fastener4 b, which includes: a plurality of buttons (or male buttons) 41 b longitudinally formed on the reinforcing member 2 (FIG. 10); and a plurality of button holes (or female buttons) 42 b longitudinally formed on the upper member 3 (FIG. 11); whereby upon fastening of the buttons 41 b with the button holes 42 b, the
upper member 3 will be detachably fastened to the reinforcingmember 2. - Since the
upper member 3 may be detachably fastened to the reinforcingmember 2 as secured on theshell 1, different upper members with different decorative features or designs on theupper members 3 may be optionally selected to be fastened on theshell 1, thereby providing diversified decorative features for vividly satisfying the player's interest. - If the player has no interest to always change his or her skate decorative features, the
upper member 3 may be directly sewed to the reinforcingmember 2 on theshell 1 for simplifying the shoe production by eliminating the installation of thefasteners 4. - The present invention is superior to any conventional skate shoes with the following advantages:
- 1. The
upper member 3 is convertible for diversifying the decorative features or designs for player's interesting selections. - 2. The
shell 1 is formed as a “shallow” shell, substantially decreasing the height of the side walls of the shell and thereby increasing the flexibility of theupper member 3 for a comfortable wearing and a controllable maneuverability when skating. - 3. The conventional
plastic shell 1 is changed to be anupper member 3 which is made of fabric for a better touch feeling and an enhanced product quality level; and also for a better operational maneuverability. - 4. The reinforcing
member 2 is formed with a plurality ofventilation holes 21 for better ventilation when wearing the shoe. - 5. Production cost (such as mold cost for preparing the molds for making plural diversified conventional shells) can be greatly saved by merely preparing few molds for making the
shallow shells 1. The different uppers can be easily obtained with lower cost since thefabric uppers 3 of the present invention may be easily made such as by cutting a cloth, without requiring each mold for making each conventional plastic shell. - The convertible shoe as shown in FIG. 1, even being tied with laces L and fastened by buckle B, is further fastened by a power strap Ps for ensuring a firm wearing of the shoe and for preventing from loosening of the relevant elements forming the shoe.
