Abstract

A sports shoe (1) has a high shaft (2) made of softer material and a reinforcement insert (3) made of harder material which surrounds the heel and projects on both sides into the central foot region. In order to achieve maximum lateral stability without affecting longitudinal mobility, the reinforcement insert (3), which is open on the sole side, has lateral tabs (5a) which are drawn up over the ankles and are separated from one another by a recess (6) in the region of the Achilles tendon down as far as its base.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Sportschuh mit einem hohen Schaft aus weicherem Material und einem die Ferse umschließenden, beidseitig bis in den Mittel­fußbereich vorragenden Versteifungseinsatz aus härte­rem Material.The invention relates to a sports shoe with a high shaft made of softer material and a stiffening insert made of harder material which surrounds the heel and protrudes on both sides up to the midfoot area.

Sportschuhe, beispielsweise Langlaufskischuhe aber auch andere Sportschuhe sollen dem Fuß einen sicheren Halt bieten, ohne seine Beweglichkeit zu behindern. Um dabei die von der jeweiligen Sportart abhängigen Bewegungs- und Stützverhältnisse berücksichtigen zu können, gibt es immer mehr an ganz bestimmte Sport­zweige, Bewegungstechniken u. dgl. angepaßte Spezial­schuhe, die zusätzlich zu einem weicheren, beweglichen Schaft mit einem stützenden harten Versteifungseinsatz ausgestattet sind. Für die meisten Sportarten, insbe­sondere auch den Skilanglauf, muß der Schuh in Lauf­richtung biegsam und beweglich bleiben, er soll aber dem Fuß eine gewisse Seitenstabilität verleihen, was Gelenke, Sehnen und Muskeln des Fußes schont und etwa das Laufen im Schlittschuhschritt und das sogenannte Skating wesentlich erleichtert. Bekannte Sportschuhe bzw. Langlaufskischuhe, die einen hohen, bis über die Knöchel reichenden Schaft besitzen, werden nun bisher durch in Fersenhöhe verlaufende Versteifungs­einsätze verstärkt, um die gewünschte seitliche Festig­keit zu erreichen, doch befriedigen diese bekannten Versteifungseinsätze höhere Ansprüche, wie sie bei­spielsweise im Rennsport auftreten, nicht. Ein dem Schaft folgendes Erhöhen der Versteifungseinsätze oder deren Ergänzung mit einem Sohlenteil führt eben­falls nicht zum Ziel, da solche schalenförmige Ver­steifungseinsätze die Beweglichkeit des Fußes zu stark beeinträchtigen.Sports shoes, for example cross-country ski shoes, but also other sports shoes are intended to offer the foot a secure hold without impeding its mobility. In order to be able to take into account the movement and support conditions that depend on the respective sport, there are more and more specific sports branches, movement techniques and the like. The like. Adapted special shoes, which are equipped with a supporting hard stiffening insert in addition to a softer, movable shaft. For most sports, especially cross-country skiing, the shoe has to remain flexible and agile in the running direction, but it should give the foot a certain lateral stability, which is easy on the joints, tendons and muscles of the foot and, for example, skating and skating are essential facilitated. Known sports shoes or cross-country ski boots that have a high shaft that extends beyond the ankle have now been reinforced by stiffening inserts running at heel height in order to achieve the desired lateral strength, but these known stiffening inserts do not satisfy higher demands, such as occur in racing, for example . Increasing the stiffening inserts following the shaft or supplementing them with a sole part also does not lead to the goal, since such shell-shaped stiffening inserts impair the mobility of the foot too much.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und einen Sportschuh der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, der auf einfache und elegante Weise dem Fuß eine allen Anforderungen genü­gende Seitenfestigkeit verleiht, ohne sein Bewegungs­spiel beim Laufen zu stören.The invention is therefore based on the object to remedy these shortcomings and to provide a sports shoe of the type described which, in a simple and elegant manner, gives the foot a lateral strength which meets all requirements without disturbing its play when running.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß der sohlenseitig offene Versteifungseinsatz über die Knö­chel hochgezogene Seitenlappen aufweist, die durch eine Ausnehmung im Bereich der Archillessehne bis herunter zu deren Ansatz voneinander getrennt sind. Diese Seitenlappen geben dem Knöchel eine feste, sta­bile Unterstützung, ohne die Gelenkigkeit des Schaftes in Fußlängsrichtung zu behindern, so daß ein Sport­schuh mit gewünschter Bewegungsfreiheit im Zehen-, Rist- und Fersenbereich, aber mit großer Seitenstabi­lität entsteht. Der Versteifungseinsatz kann dabei außen oder innen auf das durchgehende Schaftmaterial aufgebracht sein, er kann aber auch als echter Einsatz in entsprechende Ausschnitte des Schaftmaterials einge­fügt und unmittelbar in den Schaft integriert sein.The invention solves this problem in that the stiffening insert, which is open on the sole side, has side flaps which are pulled up over the ankles and are separated from one another by a recess in the area of the archilles tendon down to their approach. These side flaps give the ankle a firm, stable support without hindering the articulation of the shaft in the longitudinal direction of the foot, so that a sports shoe with the desired freedom of movement in the toe, instep and heel area, but with great lateral stability, is created. The stiffening insert can be applied to the continuous shaft material on the outside or inside, but it can also be inserted as a real insert in corresponding cutouts of the shaft material and integrated directly into the shaft.

In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand rein schematisch an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispieles im Schaubild veranschaulicht.In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is illustrated purely schematically using an exemplary embodiment in the diagram.

Ein nur angedeuteter Sportschuh 1 mit hohem Schaft 2 weist einen sohlenlosen Versteifungseinsatz 3 auf, der einen die Ferse umgebenden Fersenteil 4 und zwei daran anschließende, sich bis in den Mittelfußbereich nach vorn erstreckende Seitenteile 5 bildet. Die Sei­tenteile 5 sind mit Seitenlappen 5a über die Knöchel hochgezogen, welche Seitenlappen 5a im Bereich der Archillessehne durch eine Ausnehmung 6 bis herunter zum Archillessehnenansatz voneinander getrennt sind.An only indicated sports shoe 1 with a high shaft 2 has a soleless stiffening insert 3 which forms a heel part 4 surrounding the heel and two adjoining side parts 5 which extend forward into the midfoot area. The side parts 5 are pulled up over the ankles with side tabs 5a, which side tabs 5a are separated from one another in the area of the Archilles tendon by a recess 6 down to the Archilles tendon attachment.

Dieser einfache Verstärkungseinsatz 3 mit seinen die Sohle und den Archillessehnenbereich freigebenden, aber die Knöchelbereiche erfassenden Seitenteilen 5 und Seitenlappen 5a läßt einen Sportschuh 1 ent­stehen, der sich durch hervorragende Seitenstabilität und unbeeinträchtigte Längsbeweglichkeit auszeichnet. Der Versteifungseinsatz 3 kann aus jedem geeigneten Material, vorzugsweise Kunststoff, hergestellt und mit üblichem, weichem Schaftmaterial, wie Leder od. dgl., kombiniert werden. Er läßt sich vorteilhafter­weise als Außenschalenelement in den Schaftaufbau einbeziehen, so daß sich neben dem Stützeffekt auch ein optischer, dekorativer Effekt einstellt.This simple reinforcement insert 3, with its side parts 5 and side flaps 5a releasing the sole and the archilla tendon region, but capturing the ankle regions, allows a sports shoe 1 to be produced which is distinguished by excellent lateral stability and unimpaired longitudinal mobility. The stiffening insert 3 can be made from any suitable material, preferably plastic, and can be combined with conventional, soft shaft material, such as leather or the like. It can advantageously be included as an outer shell element in the shaft structure, so that in addition to the support effect, there is also an optical, decorative effect.
