Example

[0012]With reference to figures from 1 to 8, numeral 1 indicates as a whole a climbing shoe that may be particularly advantageously used in climbing indoor climbing walls.

[0013]The climbing shoe 1 basically comprises a shoe-upper 2 which is preferably, though not necessarily, made of leather and / or other fabric or breathing synthetic material, and which is substantially sock-shaped so as to embrace and completely cover the foot of the user, sole of the foot included; a front sole 3 made of high-grip vulcanized rubber or other similar elastomeric material (such as, for example, the compound XS Edge or the compound GRIP 2 manufactured by VIBRAM), which is fixed by gluing directly onto the bottom part 4 of shoe-upper 2 and is shaped / structured so as to cover the tarsal-phalangeal region 4a of the sole of the foot substantially up to the border with the insole arch region 4b; and lastly a plurality of preferably pretensioned, elastic-material tensioning strips which are made of highly e...

Abstract

Climbing shoe comprising a substantially sock-shaped shoe-upper formed so as to completely cover the foot of the user; a front sole which is fixed on the bottom part of the shoe-upper so as to cover the tarsal-phalangeal region of the sole of the foot; and a elastomeric-material, front tensioning strip which is fixed on the toe of the shoe-upper and is shaped so as to cover the shoe-upper in the area surrounding the tarsal-phalangeal region of the sole of the foot; said front tensioning strip being provided with a middle portion that is shaped so as to cover the toe of the shoe-upper in the area surrounding the tarsal-phalangeal region of the sole of the foot, and with two lateral flaps which prolong on the bottom part of the shoe-upper while converging towards each other up to join to one another at the insole arch region.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a climbing shoe.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]As is known, climbing shoes normally consist of a leather shoe-upper which is substantially sock-shaped so as to embrace and completely cover the foot, sole of the foot included; a usually slightly spoon-shaped, semi-rigid midsole made of plastic material and which is fixed by gluing directly onto the bottom part of the shoe-upper at the tarsal-phalangeal region of the sole of the foot; of a flexible sole made of vulcanized-rubber and which is fixed by gluing onto the bottom part of the shoe-upper, over the midsole, to cover the sole of the foot; and of a series of tensioning strips made of highly-elastic rubber and which are fixed by gluing onto the shoe-upper and join / connect to the vulcanized-rubber sole so as to embrace and tighten the foot to the limit of physical pain, while however giving the shoe an increased capacity to contain the foot so as to unload the weight stress onto the toe of t...
