[Problem] To provide a sports inner boot that ensures removal from a sports outer boot to allow an inside to be easily washed and where a drying time be a comparatively short time.[Solution] A sports inner boot made of a thermoplastic plastic includes a bottom plate 10 disposed in the sports outer boot and a foot wrap portion 20 formed at the bottom plate 10. The bottom plate 10 and the foot wrap portion 20 are integrally formed. The bottom plate 10 and the foot wrap portion 20 contain an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer material (EVA).

According to one embodiment, a coupling component includes a female component and a male component. The female component includes a main body portion and a coupling aperture. Similarly, the male component includes a main body portion and a coupling member. The coupling member that is mateable with the coupling aperture of the female component to couple the male and female components together. The main body portion of the male component includes a top surface and a relatively planar bottom surface. The coupling member includes a relatively planar top surface and a bottom surface. The relatively planar top surface of the coupling member is offset from the relatively planar bottom surface of the male component. The male and female components are non-releasable from a coupled engagement while under tension via a tension member.

Breathable footwear comprising a waterproofing and breathable portion, at least partially closed so as to identify a containment volume for a foot, wherein the waterproofing and breathable portion is shaped to allow the escape of water or vapour to the outside of the footwear and of the containment volume and to prevent the entry of water or vapour coming from the outside, an upper arranged to cover said waterproofing and breathable portion, wherein the upper is at least partially perforated to facilitate the escape of water or vapour from the waterproofing and breathable portion. The waterproofing and breathable portion is mechanically connected to the upper by means of at least one tape, comprising at least a first flap attached to the waterproofing and breathable portion by means of gluing or heat welding, and comprising at least a second flap fixed to the upper by means of gluing, thermo-forming or sewing.

A performance monitoring system and method for edging or near-edging sports includes a pair of measurement apparatus associated with each foot or of an athlete. Each measurement apparatus includes at least one sensor, adapted to cooperate with the corresponding foot or boot and the corresponding surface-engaging equipment to measure and provide at least force data exerted on said surface-engaging equipment. A data receiver cooperates with each sensor to receive said data and to communicate said data to a data processor. The data processor is adapted to determine from said data, for each sensor, at least the following derived characteristics: force over time, a peak force, delta time, and corresponding explosiveness. Feedback of the characteristics is provided to a user.

Articles of footwear (e.g., soft snowboard boots) that may be tightened from the rear side to enhance heel hold are disclosed. A lace may be coupled to a strap that extends along a portion of the rear side of the boot body. The lace and strap may be arranged such that, upon tightening of the lace, the strap is pulled toward the front side. Tensioning of the lace may cause the lace to be pulled inward so as to exert a normal pressure against the medial and lateral sides of the boot, resulting in the sides being drawn inward toward the shaft region of the boot. The lacing system may employ one or more tightening zones where separate regions of the boot may be tightened independently from, or simultaneously with, one another. For example, a boot that is configured to have two tightening zones may include a first lace arranged so as to tighten a portion of the boot including at least one of the rear side, the medial side and the lateral side; and a second lace arranged so as to tighten another portion of the boot, including at least part of the front side. As a result, various “zones” of the boot may be separately controlled, tightened independent from one another, as desired.

A sole (1) for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe/hiking shoe or ski boot/snowboard boot, is proposed, with a cushioning profile (5) arranged on the outside (3) of the sole (1). The sole (1) is distinguished in that the cushioning profile (5) also extends over the inside (7) of the sole (1).

An article of footwear for snowboarding includes a tongue with adjustable stiffness. The tongue includes a flexible intermediate portion and the flexibility of the intermediate portion can be controlled by a tension control system. As the tension control system applies increased tension to the tongue, the flexibility of the intermediate portion is decreased, which increases the overall stiffness of the tongue.

A boot includes an upper formed of articulating panels that permit portions of the boot to move in substantial independence from one another in response to loads experienced by the boot. The boot generally comprises a sports boot that is positioned around a wearer's foot for coupling to an external appliance, such as a snowboard, wakeboard, skating appliance (such as a blade or wheels), or any other appliance.

A boot includes a lacing system having an upper zone of action associated with an upper portion of the boot body and a lower zone of action associated with a lower portion of the boot body. The lacing system includes a single bootlace, the first end of which is anchored in the upper zone of action and the second end of which is anchored in the lower zone of action. The boot also includes a common lace-tightening device, having a handpiece, for the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action of the lacing system. The common lace-tightening device cooperates with the bootlace in such a way that, on operation of the handpiece, the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action of the lacing system are acted upon simultaneously in respect of lacing up and opening the boot.
摘要:
A cord locking system that allows easy, rapid, and effective locking/unlocking of any size or type lace in a single handed, swift motion. The device includes a pair of arms that freely rotate about a swivel point within a base housing in a scissors-like motion that lock teeth against the lace by using compression forces from a spring. The arms protrude outside the base for easy disengagement, using a mechanical advantage of leverage to work against the spring force at the teeth on the lace to disengage the lock. Lifting finger upward on the arms to disengage the lock so that the teeth open allows the device to slide up and down the laces toward the preferred location. To lock, let go of the arms as the spring force presses the teeth into the lace at each side of the locking compartment to both lace ends within the device.
