Embodiment Construction

[0056]Embodiments and variations of the present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0057]FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a shoe 11, which comprises a shoe upper 12 according to some embodiments of the invention. The shoe 11 shown in FIG. 1 is a sports shoe, as for example a soccer shoe. Embodiments of the present invention are applicable to any sports shoes, as for example rugby, soccer, football, basketball, tennis, golf, running shoes, etc. The invention is not limited to sports shoes, but may also be applied in casual shoes and shoes which are worn on formal occasions.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a shoe upper for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, comprising a first layer and a second layer connected to the first layer in a fixed way. The second layer comprises at least two regions separated from each other, and the first layer comprises a higher elasticity in a region not covered by the at least two regions of the second layer than the second layer. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a sole, in particular a sole for a sports shoe, comprising a first layer and a second layer connected to the first layer in a fixed way. The second layer comprises at least two regions separated from each other, and the first layer comprises a higher elasticity at least in a region not covered by the at least two regions of the second layer than the second layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an adaptable shoe upper and an adaptable sole, as well as a shoe that comprises such a shoe upper and / or such a sole.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Normally shoes comprise a shoe upper and a sole attached thereto. After the purchase of a shoe neither the width nor the length of the shoe upper and / or the sole are adaptable. However, it is often the case that not until after the purchase, after a longer period of wearing a shoe, the wearer notices a not perfectly correct fit of the shoe. Besides, shoes are made on lasts, whose dimensions (e.g. the width) have been determined according to average values out of a population group. Persons whose feet do not correspond to these average values, thus do not always get perfectly optimally fitting shoes. Also the shape and / or the size of the feet can change over time. This is especially true for children, whose shoe size rapidly changes in the first...
