Abstract
A slide fastener for a sport shoe in which the slide fastener is mounted on the upper anterior part of the upper of the shoe and extends in an inclined direction from the metatarso-phalangeal articulation area of the big toe towards the area of the opposite malleolus. In this way, deformations of the slide fastener caused by flexing of the shoe are eliminated. The slide fastener may also be reversely mounted to the interior of the upper to protect the slide fastener from snow, frost, and dirt. The shoe may be a cross-country skiing shoe.
