Abstract
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.
