Benefits of technology

[0010]The aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a sports shoe, particularly a ski boot or an ice skate or in-line skate, which adapts to the specific size of the user and at the same time prevents the penetration of snow or water inside it.
[0011]Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a sports shoe which is tough and stable, thus ensuring adequate protection and correct support to the foot of the user.
[0012]Another object is to provide a sports shoe which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, this known type of ski boot, while allowing to vary the length of the shell and the height of the quarter, so as to be able to adapt to the specific size of the foot and of the leg of the user, has a drawback: between the shell and the counter there can in fact be plays which may allow the penetration of snow or water into the boot, with the consequent user discomfort that this entails.
Further, since the shell is provided in two components, the strength and stability of this known type of ski boot are limited.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]In the exemplary embodiments that follow, individual characteristics, given in relation to specific examples, may actually be interchanged with other different characteristics that exist in other exemplary embodiments.

[0026]Moreover, it is noted that anything found to be already known during the patenting process is understood not to be claimed and to be the subject of a disclaimer.

[0027]With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, the reference numeral 1 designates a sports shoe, such as a ski boot, which comprises a rigid sole 2; in the example shown in the accompanying FIGS. 1 to 6, the shoe 1 is constituted by a ski boot and the sole 2 is therefore of the standardized type.

[0028]As an alternative to the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to associate below the sole 2 for example an ice-skating blade or a support for one or more wheels.

[0029]A shell 5 protrudes from the sole 2, starting from a forefoot region 3 and up to a heel region 4, is provided monolithically and during use sur...

Abstract

A sports shoe which comprises a rigid sole from which a shell protrudes, starting from a forefoot region and up to a heel region, a quarter being rotatably associated with the shell. An insole is slidingly associated within the shell, at a bottom thereof, is provided with a tip and interacts with elements for adjusting and guiding its axial position with respect to the shell.

Description

[0001]This is a divisional of the U.S. application Ser. No. 12 / 010,450 filed on Jan. 25, 2008.[0002]The present invention relates to a sports shoe, particularly a ski boot or an inline skate or ice skate.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Ski boots, ice skates and in-line skates are currently used which have a shell constituted by a front portion and a separate rear portion, which are mutually slidingly associated in order to allow the user to change the length of the shell. This solution allows to adapt the shoe to the particular morphological characteristics of the user and / or to achieve a change of size which allows said known types of shoe to be worn even by users who have feet of different sizes or by children who over time will change foot size rapidly.[0004]For example, EP-A-1714570 and US-2006-0230638-A1 disclose a ski boot which comprises a standardized rigid sole from which a shell protrudes in the region of the forefoot and approximately up to the arch region, the shell bei...
