Abstract

The invention relates to a shoe (in particular to a sports shoe, which has a shoe upper part (2) and a sole (3) which is connected to the shoe upper part (2), wherein the shoe upper part (2) having two tensioning sections (6, 7) which are arranged adjacently in a tensioning region (4) and are separated by a gap (5), wherein a fastening system (8) is arranged by which the shoe (1) can be fastened to the foot of the wearer of the shoe (1) by means of a fastening lace (9) as a result of the adjacently arranged tensioning sections (6, 7) being drawn towards one another. In order to improve the tension of the shoe on the foot of the wearer, the fastening system (8) comprises, in addition to the fastening lace (9), at least one tie element (12) which has at least two ends (10, 11), wherein one end (10) of the tie element (12) being secured in the region of one of the two tensioning sections (6), wherein the tie element (12) extending into the region of the sole (3), wherein the tie element (12) running from the tensioning section (6) till the sole (3) at least in some sections in at least one guide (13) in which the tie element (12) is at least partially displaceably arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axial o f the tie element (12) and wherein a loop (14) of the tie element (12) formed in the region of the tensioning section (6) being enlaced by the fastening lace (9).

Claims

1. Shoe, comprising

a shoe upper part and a sole which is connected to the shoe upper part

the shoe upper part has two tensioning sections arranged adjacently in a tensioning region and separated by a gap

a fastening system arranged by which the shoe can be fastened to the foot of the wearer of the shoe by means of a fastening lace as a result of the adjacently arranged tensioning sections being drawn towards one another,

the fastening system comprises, in addition to the fastening lace, at least one tie element which has at least two ends, wherein one end of the tie element being secured in the region of one of the two tensioning sections, wherein the tie element extending into the region of the sole, wherein the tie element running from the tensioning section till the sole at least in some sections in at least one guide in which the tie element is at least partially displaceably arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axial of the tie element and wherein a loop of the tie element formed in the region of the tensioning section being enlaced by the fastening lace.

2. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein the other end of the tie element is secured in the region of the sole at the shoe upper part and/or at the sole.

3. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein the guide runs continuously from the tensioning section to the sole.

4. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein the guide runs bow-shaped from the tensioning section to the sole.

5. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein at least one guide runs at least in some sections in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shoe.

6. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein between two and eight guides are arranged, in which respective tie elements run.

7. Shoe according to claim 1 wherein a further tie element is arranged, which runs in a further guide wherein the further tie element, coming from the region of the sole is guided in a circular guide around the heel region of the foot of the wearer of the shoe.

8. Shoe according to claim 7, wherein the circular guide is arranged in the upper edge region of the shoe upper part.

9. Shoe according to claim 7, wherein the further tie element, coming from the circular guide, runs along the other tensioning section and is connected at least in some sections with the other tensioning section.

10. Shoe according to claim 9, wherein the further tie element is connected with the other tensioning section in the region of the other tensioning section in such a manner that a relative displacement is possible between the further tie element and the tensioning section in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the further tie element, wherein especially the further tie element is arranged in a hose-shaped or tube-shaped guide which is interrupted in sections which is attached at the other tensioning section.

11. Shoe according to claim 9, wherein the further tie element is enlaced by the fastening lace in the region of the other tensioning section.

12. Shoe according to claim 7, the further tie element, coming from the other tensioning section, is guided in a supplementary guide till the region of the sole.

13. Shoe according to claim 1, wherein the guide, the further guide, the circular guide and/or the supplementary guide has a hose-shaped or tube-shaped design.
