Sole in the form of a midsole, inner sole or insertable sole for a shoe and a shoe with said sole
First Claim
1. A sole for a shoe constructed from a material having resiliently elastic properties, the sole being flexible in a direction extending lengthwise of the sole from a heel area through an arch area to a ball area while being rigid in the ball area and in a front sole area in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the sole,wherein the front sole area is shell-shaped, and sides of the sole at least in the ball area and the heel area are raised to form walls, wherein the walls have a height of 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm on each side of the sole, wherein at least one substantially unstretchable, tension element is connected to an upper portion of each of the walls and runs freely between the walls.

Abstract
The invention concerns a sole, used as a throughsole, inner sole or insole for a shoe, e.g, a football boot with a flexible outsole. The sole ensures that when shooting on the volley in football or with similar loadings, the entire force can be transmitted to the ball or similar sports equipment by means of a special stiffening of the sole by tension elements attached to raised walls of the edge area of the sole.
