Shoe, particularly sport or leisure shoe
The invention relates to a shoe, especially for sport or leisure, comprising an upper, a sole and a lacing device having at least one clamping strip passing through a space arranged at the level of the sole and a clamping element. The clamping element is attached, on the one hand, to a first end of the clamping strip and, on the other hand, to a holding zone placed at the rear of the shoe. The second end of the clamping strip, passing through the clamping element comprises an attachment device on the upper, allowing the fixing of the strip. Cooperation exists between the clamping strip, the clamping element and the holding zone causing tensing of the upper at the level of the instep and the articulation above the heel.
1. A shoe, especially for sport or leisure, comprising an upper, a sole and a lacing device with at least one clamping strip passing through a space in the sole and a clamping element wherein
the clamping element is attached to a first end of the clamping strip and to a holding zone, and
the second end of the clamping strip, passing through an opening of the clamping element comprises an attachment device on the upper allowing fixing of the strap, with cooperation between the clamping strip, the clamping element and the holding zone causing tensing of the upper.
2. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the holding zone comprises a principal holding zone attached to lateral and medial extensions.
3. The shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the attachment device of the clamping strip comprises a first part positioned on the upper part of the clamping strip and a second part on the lateral extension.
4. The shoe according to claim 3 , wherein the attachment device is a loop and a hook.
5. The shoe according to claim 1 comprising an additional attachment device placed on a lower part of the clamping strip.
6. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the holding zone comprises at least one piece connected to the upper of the shoe.
7. The shoe according to claim 6 , wherein the holding zone is at least partially sewed onto the upper of the shoe.
8. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element is attached to the holding zone and to the first end of the clamping strip at its lower edge.
9. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element, the holding zone and the first end of the clamping strip are made from a single piece.
10. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the opening in the clamping element that allows passage of the clamping strip comprises a first rigid piece preventing deformation of the opening when tension from the clamping strip is exerted.
11. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the space comprises a second rigid piece positioned therein.
12. The shoe according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping strip is comprised of a supple non-extensible material.
