Abstract
A mountaineering boot having: a vamp designed to accommodate the user's foot and ankle, roughly up to calf height; a sole unmovably fixed to the bottom of the vamp to cover the underside of the user's foot; a substantially sock-shaped outer gaiter which completely covers the vamp grazing the outer surface of the vamp up to the top of the bootleg of the vamp; and a zipper which extends along the gaiter to allow the user to open the gaiter for access to the vamp underneath, following a substantially spiral-shaped, curved path which begins behind the front portion of the gaiter, and ends at the upper mouth of the bootleg of the gaiter, after following, in the end stretch, a substantially helical trajectory about the axis of the bootleg that crosses the rear part of the bootleg of the gaiter.
Description
- The present invention relates to a mountaineering boot.
- More in detail, the present invention relates to a high-altitude mountaineering boot, to which the following description will make explicit reference without this implying any loss of generality.
- As is known, mountaineering boots substantially comprise a leather and/or synthetic fabric vamp which is designed to accommodate the user's foot and ankle roughly up to calf height, and is lined on the inside with thermal-insulating material; and an sole made of rubber or other non-slip elastomeric material and which has indented profile and is unmovably attached to the bottom part of the vamp by stitching and/or gluing, to completely cover the underside of the user's foot.
- High-altitude mountaineering boots also have an outer gaiter made of waterproof fabric, and which is normally attached directly to the peripheral edge of the sole by stitching and/or gluing, and is shaped to substantially graze the outer surface of the vamp up to the top of the bootleg, where it tightens around the user's calf above the top edge of the bootleg, to cover the whole of the vamp.
- To enable the user to easily put on and fastened the boot, the outer gaiter has a watertight zipper extending along the front of the gaiter, roughly from the tarso-phalangeal area of the instep to the top of the gaiter, while remaining locally substantially coplanar with the vertical midplane of the boot.
- Unfortunately if the watertight zipper is located at the front of the vamp have, when walking the part of the zipper located at the ankle is repeatedly subjected to bents and stretchings that, in the long term, may cause structural damages to the zipper, thus allowing the water to penetrate inside the footwear with all the problems this poses for the user.
- Mountaineer, in fact, is often used to act where the air is so cold as to freeze water in the space of a few seconds, even inside boots, and ice formation inside boots may cause hypothermia and/or even frostbite to the feet.
- To obviate this drawback, some high-altitude mountaineering boot manufacturers decided to use a watertight zipper which extends along the gaiter following a curved path that begins roughly at the tarso-phalangeal area of the instep, continues along the outer side of the vamp up to the bootleg, i.e. roughly up to the height of the astragalus, and finally curves upwards to the top of the gaiter while remaining substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the boot-leg, i.e. parallel to the tibia.
- However this new arrangement of the watertight zipper has made the boot much more harder to put on and fasten, because certain parts of the vamp are hard to reach for the user when the gaiter is open.
- Moreover, the particular conformation of the watertight zipper makes it difficult to run the slider along the portion located at the malleolus, where the radius of curvature of the zipper is smaller, thus resulting in irregular local wear of the zipper body. Local wear that, in a short time, may impair the structural integrity of the zipper, with all the problems this entails.
- Aim of the present invention is to provide a mountaineering boot designed to prevent the wear of the watertight zipper of the outer gaiter, without making put on and fasting of the boot more complicated.
- In compliance with the above aims, according to the present invention, there is provided a mountaineering boot as claimed in
claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the Claims dependent onclaim 1. - A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
-
FIGS. 1 and 2 are two perspective views of a high-altitude mountaineering boot realized in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, with parts removed for clarity and in the closed configuration; whereas -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of theFIG. 1 mountaineering boot in the open configuration. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3,number 1 indicates as a whole a mountaineering boot, which may be advantageously used to play mountaineering at heights of over 4000-5000 metres. -
Mountaineering boot 1 basically comprises anupper vamp 2 which is preferably made of leather and/or synthetic fabric and/or other flexible, preferably also waterproof, sheet material, is designed to accommodate the foot and ankle of the user roughly up to the height of the calf, and is preferably lined on the inside with thermal-insulating material; and alower sole 3 which is made of rubber or other non-slip elastomeric material, preferably has an indented profile, and is unmovably fixed, preferably by stitching and/or gluing, to the bottom ofvamp 2 to completely cover the underside of the user's foot. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , in the example shown, in particular, thevamp 2 preferably has alongitudinal slit 4 which extends along the front part ofvamp 2, roughly from the tarso-phalangeal area of the instep up to theupper mouth 5 ofbootleg 6 ofvamp 2 preferably while remaining substantially coplanar with the vertical midplane of the boot (not shown), and is designed to allow a widening ofvamp 2 sufficient to permit/facilitate the introduction of the user's foot insidevamp 2; and aclosing tongue 7 which is fixed to the front part ofvamp 2 preferably in a loosely manner, and extends insidevamp 2 grazing thelongitudinal slit 4 preferably along substantially the whole length oflongitudinal slit 4, to completely close theslit 4 up to the top ofbootleg 6. - Alike the rest of
vamp 2, also covertongue 7 is preferably made of leather and/or synthetic fabric and/or other flexible sheet material, preferably also of waterproof type. - Moreover, in the example shown,
vamp 2 is preferably, though not necessarily, designed so that the top end ofbootleg 6 is located above the bottom of the calf and below the mid-portion of the calf. - Furthermore
mountaineering boot 1 preferably also comprises a substantially sock-shaped, inner liner 8 which is preferably made of thermal-insulating material, is inserted removable manner inside thevamp 2 substantially up to the top ofbootleg 6, and is designed to cover and protect both the foot and the lower part of the user's leg. Moreover inner liner 8 preferably has a semirigid structure, and is preferably lined with soft and/or breathable material. - In the example shown, in particular, inner liner 8 is preferably made at least partly of a low-density polymeric material foam.
- Still with reference to
FIG. 3 ,mountaineering boot 1 is also provided with a manually-operated fastening system which is structured so as to be able to selectively close/tighten thefront slit 4 ofvamp 2 to immobilize the user's leg firmly insidevamp 2, or rather inside liner 8. - In the example shown, in particular, the vamp fastening system preferably comprises a number of lace-guide members, that is to say a number of loops and/or eyelets and/or rings and/or hooks, appropriately arranged along the two edges of
vamp 2 laterally boundinglongitudinal slit 4, at least in the area above the instep; and a lace 9 of given length, which engages in pass-through manner and is succession the various lace-guide members, preferably alternating from one side to the other oflongitudinal slit 4, so to selectively draw towards/against each other the two edges ofvamp 2 laterally boundingslit 4, thus to tighten and securevamp 2 to the user's foot. - In other words, lace 9 is appropriately attached to
vamp 2 to tighten thevamp 2 and secure the user's foot insidemountaineering boot 1. - Furthermore in the example shown the vamp fastening system preferably also comprises an adjustable Velcro-fastened
strap 10 which wraps aboutbootleg 6 and is designed to draw towards/against each other and reciprocally fasten the two edges ofbootleg 6 laterally bounding the end ofslit 4, thus to tightenbootleg 6 to the user's calf. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3, furthermoremountaineering boot 1 is also provided with a waterproofouter gaiter 11 which completely covers thevamp 2 substantially grazing the outer surface ofvamp 2 up to the top ofbootleg 6; and with a substantiallywatertight zipper 12 which extends alonggaiter 11 so to allow the user to open thegaiter 11 for access tovamp 2 underneath. - More in detail,
outer gaiter 11 is substantially sock-shaped so as to graze the outer surface ofvamp 2 up to the top ofbootleg 6, preferably then extending beyond the top edge ofbootleg 6 along the user's leg, and is preferably unmovably fixed in watertight manner directly to the perimetrical edge of sole 3 and/or to the bottom part ofvamp 2, preferably without interruption and preferably by stitching and/or gluing. - Gaiter 11 therefore has a
front portion 13 covering the tip ofvamp 2; arear portion 14 covering the rear part ofvamp 2; anouter side 15 covering the outer side ofvamp 2, i.e. the side ofvamp 2 adjacent to the outer longitudinal arch of the foot; an inner side 16 covering the inner side ofvamp 2, i.e. the side ofvamp 2 adjacent to the medial longitudinal arch of the foot; and finally a substantially cylindrical,tubular bootleg 17 which covers the whole ofbootleg 6 ofvamp 2, and preferably extends beyond the top edge ofbootleg 6 along the user's leg. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , in the example shown, in particular,gaiter 11 is preferably made of waterproof synthetic fabric and/or other waterproof flexible sheet material, preferably also of ballistic, cut-proof type. - Preferably, though not necessarily,
gaiter 11 moreover has, roughly at the upper part of the instep and/or at the front part ofbootleg 17, an elasticized front insert 18 made of waterproof elastic fabric and/or other waterproof elastic sheet material. In other words, the elasticized front insert 18 ofgaiter 11 extends roughly from the top of the instep to the top ofbootleg 17. - Additionally
gaiter 11 is preferably also provided with afront patch 19 made of cured rubber or other elastomeric material, which is arranged to cover and protect thefront portion 13 ofgaiter 11; and arear patch 20 made of cured rubber or other elastomeric material, which is arranged to cover and protect therear portion 14 ofgaiter 11.Patches gaiter 11 from tearing on projecting ice or rock, and at the same time to protect the user's foot against impact on ice or rock. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3,zipper 12 instead extends alonggaiter 11 following a substantially spiral-shaped, curved path which begins behind thefront portion 13 ofgaiter 11, roughly at the part ofgaiter 11 vertically aligned to the tarso-phalangeal area of the foot, and ends at theupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 after following, in the end stretch, a substantially helical trajectory about the vertical axis A ofbootleg 17 that preferably also crosses the rear part ofbootleg 17, i.e. the part ofbootleg 17 vertically aligned withrear portion 14 ofgaiter 11. - Preferably
zipper 12 moreover reaches the rear part ofbootleg 17 ofgaiter 11 substantially at the top edge ofbootleg 6 ofvamp 2. - In the example shown, in particular,
zipper 12 extends alonggaiter 11 following a substantially spiral-shaped, curved path which preferably ends at the front part ofbootleg 17, preferably after skirtingelasticized insert 18, and which runs in succession across the rear part and the inner side ofbootleg 17 before reaching the edge ofupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17. - More in detail, with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 ,zipper 12 preferably extends alonggaiter 11 following a substantially spiral-shaped, curved path which begins near thefront portion 13 ofgaiter 11; runs across theouter side 15 ofgaiter 11, preferably while remaining above the malleolus, up to reach the rear part ofbootleg 17 preferably substantially at the high of the top edge ofbootleg 6 ofvamp 2; and then winds aroundbootleg 17 up to theupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 following a substantially helical trajectory that, in succession, runs across the rear pat ofbootleg 17, the inner side ofbootleg 17, and finally the front part ofbootleg 17, and ends at the edge ofupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 at the front part ofbootleg 17, preferably skirtingelasticized insert 18. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3,gaiter 11 is preferably also provided with anelastic band 22 which surrounds theupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 and is designed to keep the top end ofbootleg 17 firmly tight against the user's leg to prevent infiltration of water and/or snow and/or ice. - Preferably, though not necessarily,
gaiter 11 is also provided with a projecting plate-like pad 23, which is made of soft material and is fixed to bootleg 17 near the point where thezipper 12 reaches themouth 21 ofbootleg 17, so as to interpose itself between theslider 24 ofzipper 12 and the leg of the user. - Operation of
mountaineering boot 1 can be deduced easily from the above description, with no further explanation required. - The advantages resulting from the particular arrangement of
zipper 12 are large in number. Firstly, tests show that the substantially spiral-shaped path ofwatertight zipper 12 alonggaiter 11 allows to keep the value of the radius of curvature ofwatertight zipper 12 within limits that ensure normal, even wear along the whole length ofwatertight zipper 12, thus maximizing the working life ofwatertight zipper 12. - Furthermore, the particular arrangement of
zipper 12 ongaiter 11 allows the user full and easy access tovamp 2, thus enabling the user to put on and fastened themountaineering boot 1 faster than currently marketed mountaineering boots, with all the advantages this affords when the user operates in severe environmental conditions. - Clearly, changes may be made to
mountaineering boot 1 as described herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention. - For example, in a different embodiment,
zipper 12 extends alonggaiter 11 following a curved, substantially spiral-shaped path, which begins near thefront portion 13 ofgaiter 11; runs across theouter side 15 ofgaiter 11, preferably while remaining above the malleolus, up to reach the rear part ofbootleg 17, preferably substantially at the high of the top edge ofbootleg 6 ofvamp 2; and then winds aroundbootleg 17 up to theupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 following a substantially spiral-shaped path which, in succession, runs across the rear part ofbootleg 17 and the inner side ofbootleg 17, and ends on the edge ofupper mouth 21 ofbootleg 17 at the inner side ofbootleg 17. - Furthermore, in a different embodiment, inner liner 8 may be integral with
vamp 2 and therefore unmovable. - Moreover, in a different embodiment,
vamp 2 may be designed so that the top end ofbootleg 6 is located roughly at the bottom of the calf.
