A fastening strap for sports shoes, particularly for in-line skates, comprising at least two elements made of materials having mutually different rigidities. This allows better adaptation to the outer shape of the shoe and eliminates pressure points, particularly on the bony regions of the leg.

Fastening strap for sports shoes

A skate with in-line wheels, including a first front body, for supporting and locking the front part of the foot, and a second rear body, for supporting and locking at least the heel, the bodies having a first frame and a second frame for supporting a plurality of wheels. The first and second bodies and the first and second supporting frames are rotatably associated to each other to allow better transmission of lateral forces during sports practice.

Skate with in-line wheels

A skate including a frame provided with a detachable connection to a shoe and with which mutually inline wheels are associated. The skate further includes a device for temporarily supporting the single frame in a stable position when the shoe is not associated with the frame. The device can be deactivated by the engagement of the shoe with the frame, so as to allow the user to use the skate.

Inline skate

Braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame for supporting two or more wheels. A brake is rotatably associated with the quarter and selectively interacts with the ground upon a backward rotation of the quarter. The brake can oscillate in contrast with a spring and interacts with the ground upon a given rotation imparted to the quarter.

Braking device particularly for skates

Braking device, particularly for skates that comprise a shoe composed of a quarter articulated to a shell associated with a frame whereto two or more wheels are pivoted. A rod member is connected to the quarter and is slidingly associated at a seat that acts as a guide and is formed on a support associated with the frame.

Skate with aligned wheels

A support adjustment device for ski boots composed of a shell with which at least one quarter is associated. The peculiarity of the device consists of the fact that a shaped body is elastically associated with the quarter and embraces at least one portion of the skier's leg. The device furthermore includes sliders suitable for limiting the backward stroke of the shaped body with respect to the quarter. A safe and constant support of the calf is thus obtained.

Rear support adjustment device, particularly for ski boots

Ski boot having a shell, a rear quarter and a front quarter, at least the rear quarter being pivoted to the shell. The rear quarter is also articulated to an element of the boot, such as the front quarter, the shell or a flap by means of rods.

Ski boot with improved wearability

A closure and securing device, particularly usable for ski boots comprising a rear quarter rearwardly having a transverse set of teeth with which there interacts a rod-like element embracing said rear quarter. Said rod-like element is operatively connected to one or more pressers placed at the foot instep region and/or at the heel region.
