Embodiment approach

[0058] Also according to the first embodiment, the first subsection 51 is directly fixed to the reinforcing member 40 . This optimizes the fastening of the foot towards the reinforcement 40 , whether on the inside—if the first subsection 51 is a medial section, or on the outside—if the first subsection 51 is a lateral section.

[0059] It is evident that the reinforcement 40 is positioned on the outside of the upper 3 for better comfort to the foot. Therefore, for this purpose, a softer layer of the upper is arranged between the foot and the stiffener 40 . The reinforcements can also be arranged more inside the upper 3 , or even completely inside the upper, especially if performance is to be prioritized over comfort.

[0060] To cooperate with the stiffener 40 , the transverse strap 50 is constructed and arranged to be fastened between the outer side 42 and the inner side 43 in a reversible manner. Such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the group of figures, the transverse bel...

Abstract

An article of footwear(1), such as a boot, including an outer sole(2) assembly and an upper(3), the boot extending lengthwise from a heel(4) to a tip(5), widthwise between a lateral portion and a medial portion, and heightwise from the outer sole(2) assembly to an upper end(12), the boot(1) having an opening(17) for inserting the foot, and including a reinforcement(40) which is integral with the upper(3) and is more rigid than the remainder of the upper, at least in the region of the instep, the reinforcement(40) including a lateral(42) and / or a medial edge(43) extending over a reduced length of the boot at least plumb with the instep, the boot(1) including a transverse linkage provided to tighten the instep zone, the linkage extending from the lateral portion(50) to the medial portion. The linkage includes a first subdivision(51) extending in the longitudinal direction of the boot, over a distance between 25% and 70% of the length thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to shoes, in particular sports shoes, and more particularly to shoes for skiing, walking or athletics. Background technique [0002] Such shoes can be used in fields such as flat skiing or telemark skiing, flat or mountain walking or running, mountaineering or even snowshoeing, snowshoes, roller skates, roller skates, cycling, ball games sports, or whatever. [0003] Shoes may include low tops or high tops. It is generally desired that the user's foot be adequately maintained. In fact, a good hold of the foot in the upper guarantees a better use. [0004] For example, wearing a soft shoe such as that used for flat-country skiing provides sufficient retention to convey sensory information or to facilitate foot extension. Especially at the instep, the upper fastening device serves to hold the user's foot. [0005] Traditionally, the fastening means consist, on the one hand, of a strap or lacing, and, on the other hand, ...
