Problems solved by technology

However, these materials often deform, shear or even break to some extent when the pressure action is inclined in these preferred directions, which can negatively affect the wear resistance of the shoe when the upper is made of such materials
[0010] And often the needs of low weight and stability are at odds with each other
Trying to reduce the weight of a material usually means losing the material's stability and tensile strength in at least one direction, however, high stability and tensile strength usually require the use of thicker or denser materials, thus resulting in increased weight

Embodiment Construction

[0058] In the following, examples of embodiments and modifications of the shoe upper material of the present invention are described. Such materials are preferably used in sports shoes, especially football boots. However, as described below, it can also be used in other shoes that require both low weight and good mechanical properties, such as basketball shoes.

[0059] figure 1 An example of an upper material 100 is shown. figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of such a material 100 is shown. The figure is not to scale and is discussed in detail below. The material 100 comprises a first foil layer 10 and a textile reinforcement layer 20 laminated at least partially with the first foil layer 10 .

[0060] The textile reinforcement layer 20 includes a first textile material having at least three axes, each axis defining the direction of a set of substantially parallel yarn portions in the first textile material.

[0061] Preferably, the yarn portion substantially compr...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a material for a shoe upper, in particular for soccer shoes, with a particularly low weight and improved tensile strength. According to an aspect of the invention, a material for a shoe upper, in particular for soccer shoes, is provided, that comprises a first foil layer and a textile reinforcement layer which is at least partially laminated with the first foil layer. The textile reinforcement layer comprises a first textile material with at least three axes, each axis defining an orientation of a set of essentially parallel yarn-portions in the textile material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a material for uppers, in particular for football boots, which has a very low weight and improved tensile strength. Background technique [0002] In many sports, athletes traverse great distances. In order to reduce the energy required, the weight of the sneaker needs to be reduced. The reduced weight requires less force, for example during acceleration, thereby reducing muscular tension in the athlete. [0003] A crucial factor in determining the weight of a shoe is the material of the upper. In principle, the weight of the shoe upper can be reduced simply by using less material, for example by reducing the material thickness. On the other hand, the upper must meet high quality standards, eg with regard to abrasion resistance, elasticity, laminate resistance or stability. To meet these requirements, multilayer or composite materials are particularly suitable. [0004] Different shoe uppers having multiple layers o...
