Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe, particularly a tennis shoe.
  • Background Art Conventional sports shoe are constituted by a sole associated with an upper having two flaps that can be joined by fastening means, usually constituted by a lace, guided through holes formed in the flaps.
  • Conventional shoes are sometimes provided with a mid-sole, made of elastically compressible material, which is arranged between the sole and the upper so as to cushion impacts or vibrations and thus increase user comfort.
  • conventional sports shoes have the evident disadvantage of providing the athlete, during direction changes, with a reactivity which is poor and worsens as the suddenness of the direction changes increases.
  • US-5,647,145 partially solves the problems linked to foot support in a shoe and discloses a sculpted sole for use in sports shoes, particularly for athletics.
  • Said sculpted sole is constituted by a base made of elastically compressible material and has an upper face, a lower face, a front edge and a rear edge.
  • each pad lies under a single toe of the user's foot, which rests on the upper face of the sole.
  • the pads and supporting elements have grooves, recesses and channels so that they are shaped complementarily to the toes and metatarsus, respectively, of the foot, which rests on the sole.
  • the fastening element lies along both sides of the upper and is connected under the sole.
  • Each of the closure protrusions comprises a slotted hole which is suitable for the passage of a lace for mutual connection of the opposite closure protrusions on the two sides of the upper, so as to ensure the fastening of the upper around the user's foot.
  • the fastening element can be rigidly coupled externally to the sole or upper or can be removably associated.
  • Such shoe provides a good fastening of the upper around the foot; as regards stabilization of the foot during sports practice, and particularly during lateral movements, it affects only the ankle region and the pre-arch region, without providing a uniform supporting function, for example in the forefoot region.
  • the difference in rigidity among the materials that constitute the fastening element, which is preferably rigid, and the upper, which is soft, can lead to tearing of the upper at the regions of contact with the edges of the fastening element.
  • the use of such shoe can lead to tearing of the fastening element at its part that lies below the sole, which can be damaged during contact with bumps or obstacles which protrude from the ground.
  • EP-A-0748596 discloses an ankle supporting device which can be used particularly for sports shoes comprising an upper or an innerboot provided with padding and a sole.
  • That device is constituted by a structural element which comprises a counter which affects the heel and plantar arch regions and from which at least one tab protrudes which can be associated with the upper or innerboot and affects the lateral and/or rear regions of the foot.
  • Such shoe which comprises the above described supporting device, is suitable to support and protect the ankle, avoiding sprains or other movements which are dangerous for the ankle.
  • that device does not perform an effective stabilization of the entire foot, because it affects only the ankle and malleolar region and comprises at the most part of the plantar arch.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the noted technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited known art and thus providing a sports shoe which provides the user with optimum foot stability during direction changes and particularly during lateral movements.
  • an important object is to provide a sports shoe which provides adequate support with respect to the pressure applied by the foot to the lateral part of said upper without thereby reducing the comfort offered by the shoe.
  • Another important object is to provide a sports shoe which allows the athlete to have high reactivity in direction changes. Another important object is to provide the user with high safety, giving maximum protection against ankle sprains which can occur during sports practice.
  • a sports shoe which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a sports shoe comprising a sole associated with an upper, said upper having a first flap and a second flap which cooperate with fastening means, characterized in that three distinct stabilizer elements are associated with said sole and said upper and interact with at least one element for connecting at least one of their ends.
  • Figure 1 is a rear perspective view of the sports shoe according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the shoe
  • Figure 3 is a bottom view of the shoe;
  • Figure 4 is a front cross-section view of the shoe;
  • Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the shoe. Ways of carrying out the Invention
  • the numeral 1 designates a sports shoe, which comprises a sole 2a which is associated with a mid-sole 2b with which an upper 3 is associated.
  • the upper 3 has a first flap 4a and a second flap 4b that cooperate with a fastening means, constituted for example by a lace 50 which is guided in holes or eyelets 5.
  • a fastening means constituted for example by a lace 50 which is guided in holes or eyelets 5.
  • a first stabilizer element 6, a second stabilizer element 7 and a third stabilizer element 8 are associated with the sole 2a and with the upper 3.
  • the stabilizer elements are all variously Y-shaped so as to have a first arm 9, a second arm 10 and a third arm 11 that are rigidly coupled to respective first, second and third pairs of wings, designated by the reference numerals 12a and 12b, 13a and 13b, and 14a and 14b, respectively.
  • the first, second and third stabilizer elements are preferably made of partially rigid plastic material.
  • the first stabilizer element 6 is arranged between the sole 2a and the mid-sole 2b at a complementarily shaped first seat 15 which is formed in the sole 2a along the region of the sole of the foot.
  • the first stabilizer element 6 is arranged so that the free ends of the first pair of wings 12a and 12b reach the perimetric edge 16 of the sole 2, preferably at a first region 17a and at a second region 17b.
  • the first and second regions 17a and 17b can be located, for example, proximate to the region between the plantar arch and the metatarsus.
  • the end of the first arm 9 of the first stabilizer element 6 is arranged so as to affect a heel region 18.
  • the second and third stabilizer elements 7 and 8 are arranged externally with respect to the two sides of said upper 2 and partially wrap around the instep at optional second and third complementarily shaped seats 19a and 19b, and are orientated so that the ends of the respective second and third arms 10 and 11 are directed toward the heel.
  • the ends can be connected to the first arm 9 and to each other at the heel region 18.
  • the second and third pairs of wings 13a and 13b, 14a and 14b of the second and third stabilizer elements 7 and 8 are therefore arranged so that the wings 13a and 14a, also referenced respectively as first and second upper wings, lie above the wings 13b and 14b, also referenced respectively as first and second lower wings.
  • the wings 13a and 14a are therefore arranged proximate to the ends 20a and 20b, of the first and second flaps 4a and 4b.
  • the free ends of the wings 13b and 14b of the second and third pairs of wings are arranged at the first and second regions 17a and 17b, so as to be able to optionally connect to the free ends of the first pair of wings 12a and 12b, optionally by virtue of an intermediate element.
  • first, second and third stabilizer elements 6, 7 and 8 are not directly connected to each other, but in the region of the heel 18 and in the first and second regions 17a and 17b, respectively, there are first, second and third connecting elements 21a, 21b and 21c, arranged within complementarily shaped seats formed in the sole 2a and in the mid- sole 2b.
  • first, second and third connecting elements 21a, 21b and 21c there are, in the sole 2a, respectively first, second and third openings 52a, 52b and 52c for respective complementarily shaped first, second and third transparent elements 53a, 53b and 53c.
  • the first, second and third connecting elements 21a, 21b and 21c are connected to the respective free ends of the first, second and third stabilizer elements 6, 7 and 8.
  • first connecting element 21a is associated with each of the first, second and third arms 9, 10 and 11.
  • the second connecting element 21b is associated with the wings 13b and 12a, which respectively belong to the second and first stabilizer elements 7 and 6.
  • the third connecting element 21c is connected to the wings 14b and 12b, which respectively belong to the third and first stabilizer elements 8 and 6.
  • connection between the second and third stabilizer elements 7 and 8 and the upper 3 also can be provided in various manners:
  • Figure 4 illustrates a connection provided by stitched seams 51.
  • engagement or sliding means respectively designated by the reference numerals 22a and 22b, which are constituted by a pair of eyelets which allow the mutual fastening of the free ends of the wings 13 a and 14a of the second and third pairs of wings.
  • the shoe 1 has a configuration which forms, around the user's foot, a sort of cage for supporting and containing the foot.
  • Said cage is constituted in a lower region by the first stabilizer element 6, laterally by the second and third stabilizer elements 7 and 8, and at the front by the closure lace 50 which passes between the pair of eyelets 22a and 22b.
  • the shoe according to the invention also performs an optimum action for withstanding the pressure applied by the foot to the lateral part of said upper without reducing the comfort offered by said shoe.
  • first, second and third stabilizer elements are directly associated with each other at their respective free ends, without providing any connecting element, or providing only a partial use thereof, for example by means of the connecting element 21a alone, arranged at the heel region 18.
