Abstract

A shoe includes: a sole; an upper disposed above the sole and including a wearing opening; a first band including a first base end fixed to a boundary part between the upper and the sole, at a position in front of the wearing opening, the first band extending diagonally upward from the first base end to a position in the rear of the wearing opening of the upper; a second band including a second base end fixed to the boundary part, the second band extending frontward from the second base end to a position in front of the wearing opening, the second band bringing the first band into contact with the upper, at a portion where the second band intersects the first band; and a tightening part applying tightening force to the second band to tighten the upper.

1 . A shoe, comprising:
 a sole;   an upper disposed above the sole and including a wearing opening;   a first band including a first base end fixed to a boundary part between the upper and the sole, at a position in front of the wearing opening, the first band extending diagonally upward from the first base end to a position in the rear of the wearing opening of the upper;   a second band including a second base end fixed to the boundary part, the second band extending frontward from the second base end to a position in front of the wearing opening, the second band bringing the first band into contact with the upper, at a portion where the second band intersects the first band; and   a tightening part applying tightening force to the second band to tighten the upper.   
     
     
         2 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein an engagement part is disposed at a leading end of the second band to engage with the tightening part. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the second band intersects the first band at a plurality of intersection positions and includes a portion passing through between the first band and the upper and a portion passing through a side of the first band opposite to the upper. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein, at the foremost intersection position among the plurality of intersection positions, the second band passes through a side of the first band opposite to the upper. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the second base end includes a portion fixed to the boundary part, at a position within a range between 35% and 90% inclusive of the entire length of the shoe from the toe along a longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the shoe comprises a plurality of the second bands, and the plurality of second bands are connected with each other at one or more positions of the base end side, leading end side, or a midway therebetween of the relevant second bands. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein a second band is branched into a plurality of parts at one or more positions of the base end side, leading end side, or a midway therebetween of the second band. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the first band is branched into a plurality of parts at one or more positions of the base end side, leading end side, or a midway therebetween of the first band. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first band comes into contact with a first band contact region provided on the top side of a rearmost part of a heel part in the upper, and   in the first band contact region, a reinforcement structure that is more strengthened than the surrounding regions is provided.   
     
     
         10 . The shoe according to  claim 9 , further comprising a third band including a third base end fixed to the boundary part at a position in the rear of the first base end, the third band extending from the third base end, wherein
 the third band covers the first band in the first band contact region.   
     
     
         11 . The shoe according to  claim 10 , wherein the third band intersects a second band and brings the second band into contact with the upper. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the first band and a second band includes a portion constituted by a planar member having a predetermined width, and the other of the first band and the second band includes a portion constituted by a string-shaped or thread-shaped member that is thinner than the predetermined width. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first band or a second band is formed of a material having lower stretchability than the material of the upper.
