Problems solved by technology

In addition, due to the excessive force generated by the wearer's foot pushing the shoelace forward and pulling on these parts, these parts can stretch and / or move, thereby allowing the foot to slide forward on the sole, causing again The wearer's toes are forced into the pullover and potentially cause discomfort to the wearer

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Figure 1 to Figure 9 A current embodiment of footwear is illustrated in and generally designated 10 . Footwear 10 may include: upper 20 having lacing system 30 ; sole support plate 40 ; and one or more support members 50 extending upwardly from the support plate and coupled to lacing system 30 . The support members 50 may cooperatively form part of a bracket 80 extending around and rearwardly of the wearer W's calcaneus C. As shown in FIG. Support members 50 (which may be located on the lateral and medial sides of a frame or cage 60, which may include a sole support plate and one or more support members) may cooperate with lacing system 30 such that when the frame and / or Or when the cage is in a loaded state, the lacing system transmits the forward force F1 of the wearer's instep I through the support member 50 so that the bracket 80 is pulled toward the calcaneus C using the lacing system 30 . This in turn reduces forward sliding of the foot over the support plate....

Abstract

The invention relates to a footwear including a holding cage. An article of footwear includes an upper having a lacing system, an underfoot support plate, and a holding cage that has support members extending up from the support plate, forming a portion of a cradle around and rearward of a wearer's calcaneus bone. The support members join with the lacing system so when the cage is in a loaded state, the system translates a forward force of a wearer's instep against it, through the members so the cradle is pulled toward the calcaneus bone, with the lacing system, to impair the foot from slidingforward over the support plate. The footwear can include a tensioning member, joined with the system and a constrictor strap that wraps rearward around an ankle of the wearer, and operable in a tightening mode in which the lace is tightened to lock the holding cage against the heel and tighten the strap around the ankle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to footwear, and more particularly to footwear constructions having cages that enclose and lock a wearer's foot within the footwear. Background technique [0002] There are many types of performance shoes and hiking shoes available in the market. Many of these shoes include an upper and a sole constructed of multiple components that are stitched, glued, or otherwise fastened to each other along the length of the footwear from heel to toe. Most of these shoes are constructed with the goal of forming a tight but comfortable envelope around the wearer's foot, thereby providing a stable and durable enclosure for the foot. Where a shoe includes multiple components fastened to each other, over time, or under significant stress, the components can move and stretch relative to each other. As a result, the foot within the upper enclosure will move forward a small amount or sometimes a large amount. In some cases, where movement ...
