The invention relates to a sports shoe with an outer shell of injection molded plastic, comprising a front foot shell for accommodating the front foot and an adjoining shoe cuff for stabilizing the lower leg portion of a user, and with a relatively flexible inner shoe at least partially accommodated in the shell. Disposed in the outer shell is at least one elastically flexible portion which is provided as a means of reducing pressure points from the inner shoe on a user's foot when subjected to compression stress. The elastically flexible portion is provided in the form of at least one membrane element which is designed to vary the volume or width which the shell can accommodate as a function of compression stress due to its slackness or ability to deflect relative to the surrounding part-portions of the shell.

Sports shoe with an outer shell of injection moulded plastic

The invention relates to a sports shoe () with an outer shell () made of injection moulded plastic, in particular a ski shoe with at least one tightening means () arranged in the upper end section of the shoe collar () running ring-like around the upper end section of the shoe collar (), and with at least one adjusting means () for tightening or limiting the width of the entry opening into the sports shoe () as necessary. For this a first and a further tightening element () are arranged above one another in vertical direction within a section of the length of the tightening means (), where the tightening elements () run essentially parallel to one another. The first tightening element () is designed to bear against the peripheral sections of the comparatively flexible inner shoe () or its tongue () and the further tightening element () is designed to bear against the upper end section of the shoe collar () made of a relatively rigid plastic. In this way pressure points can be avoided or reduced on the leg of the user and the level of comfort when using the sports shoe () can be increased.

Sports shoe, in particular ski shoe and tightening means therefor

The invention relates to a sports shoe (), in particular an alpine ski shoe (), with an adjusting means () for varying the stiffness of the sole system () as and when necessary. This adjusting means () comprises at least one profiled tension element () which remains essentially dimensionally stable when forces act on it and which is connected at its oppositely lying end portions to a front sole platform () on the one hand and to a rear sole platform () of the sole system () on the other hand, its middle portion extending freely between the front and the rear sole platform (). The tension element () is mounted so as to be relatively displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the sole system () in order to apply adjustable positioning forces relative to at least one sole platform (), and an individually adjustable tensing force can be expended between the front and the rear sole platform () via the tension element (). This tensing force can be adjusted so that at least one load-induced tendency of a distance () between the front and rear sole platform () to become bigger is counteracted or a tendential vertical lifting of the middle portion of the sole system () is induced.
