SPORTS SHOE, IN PARTICULAR FOR THE PRACTICE OF BACKGROUND SKIING.

摘要

Sport shoe, particularly adapted to use in cross-country skiing, including a sole, a vamp, and an overshoe. The vamp is positioned in the overshoe and includes a tightening means for tightening the vamp around the instep. Both the vamp and the overshoe include a posterior portion surrounding the rear portion of the leg. The vamp and overshoe are attached to one another along their posterior portions. This attachment extends from the top of the shoe to the bottom of the shoe along the posterior portion of the vamp and the overshoe. As a result of this arrangement, when the tightening means tightens the vamp around the instep, the posterior portions of the vamp and the overshoe also tighten, thereby firmly holding the rear of the foot and the heel in the shoe.
