Sport shoe DOTEE Of a FABRIC STEM CONTAINING FIBRES ARAMIDE

The present invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a soccer shoe, comprising an upper and a sole optionally with studs.

Sports shoes are known and in particular football, made in the most various materials. Typically, these shoes are skin or plastic. Shoes are also known whose rod is plastic covered, where the mechanical stress is the highest and on the front of the shoe, by parts made of composite material as the carbon fibers, aramid fibers or the like. These shoes are usually provided with a relatively rigid shaft which gives a non-negligible weight and which, in the case of soccer shoes, does not allow an optimal control of the balloon.

The object of the present invention is to provide a sports shoe with respect to the aforementioned improved footwear.

More specifically, the present invention is to provide a lightweight athletic shoe and having excellent wear resistance.

The invention also relates to a shoe, in particular a soccer shoe, which reduces the efforts 1' athlete which the door and which allows an optimal control of the balloon.

The object as well as others that appear evident at 1' skill in the art are achieved by a shoe according to the appended claims.

For a better understanding of the present invention, refer to the pattern is purely indicative seal as wherein:

figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe according to the invention; and

figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

With reference to the Figures above, the mark 1 generally defines a soccer shoe according to the invention comprising a rod 2 and a sole 3 on which is disposed a first inner 3A. The sole 3 is with studs 4.

The rod 2 according to the invention is, at least for the most part, made of fabric fiber aramid (known under the tradename Kevlar) of a very small thickness (between 0.3 and 0.7 mm for example) and highly wear-resistant.

More specifically, said rod based fabric aramid fibers has an outer surface 5 of a significant roughness, with crests diffuse (optionally enhanced by lines of depression 6) uniformly distributed. The fabric is associated, on its opposite face 7 (i.e. inwardly facing 8 of the shoe) to a plastic film 9 for proofing the rod and to prevent moisture outer and/or the water present in 1' air or on the ground from entering the shoe. Alternatively, or in addition to said film 9, the surface 5 can be impregnated with a varnish conventional water repellent. The impermeability is an important property: in effect, the aramid fiber fabric absorbs (without the retaining) water and moisture significantly and it is useful, therefore, prevent infiltration of water or moisture in the interior of the shoe. The impregnation of the fabric and/or its waterproofing allow the shoes and do not add in use and have no problem for 1' athlete carrying them.

At film 9 also, is associated a conventional padding 10, placed inside the shoe on the wall 8a its internal cavity.

The ends 12 conventional closure edges 13 and 14 of the shoe are, preferably, covered or directly made of a material at least in semi-rigid portion, such as skin, leather, a plastic material or the like. The [...] places, at said ends, conventional laces.

This type of material is also preferably used for carrying out the rear part 15 of the shoe which is to, as is well known, be rigid and supporting the foot, and that each insert or ornament 18 provided on the shank.

The sole 3 may be performed in a material, e.g., plastic.

However, said sole can also be made of aramid fibers or other composite material; if necessary, the rear part 15 of the shoe may be realized as an extension of the sole up. Similarly, other reinforcement composite material can be made at the front or the sides of the shank as continuations of the sole 3 upwardly. The solution facilitates the connection of the rod to the sole and to the struts above (which is obtained by a conventional bonding process) with respect to the case where the boot comprises a sole plastic and reinforcements plastic, skin, leather or the like.

A shoe to the invention is lightweight, abrasion-resistant and, by surface roughness 5 (intrinsic and resulting from the use of aramid fiber fabric), allows for optimal control of the balloon.

Soccer boots has been described. It is evident, however, that any other shoe having the features of the following claims is within the scope of, the present invention.
