Dance or sports shoe comprising a force transmission element

Abstract

A dance or sports shoe is described. This has a sole (12) with an inner side and an outer side and an upper shoe (20), which has a foot section (22). In order to achieve a tight fit of the dance or sports shoe on the foot, at least one force transmission element (30, 40, 50) is provided, which has a sole proximate region and a sole distal region. In the state of use, the sole proximate region is form-fitting and/or force-fitting fixed to the sole (12) and the sole distal region extends over the surface of the foot wearing the dance or sports shoe facing away from the sole of the foot.

1 . A dance or sports shoe comprising a sole having an inner side and an outer side and extending in a longitudinal direction from a rear end to a front end, and an upper shoe which has a foot section,
 wherein at least one force transmission element is provided, which has a sole proximate region and a sole distal region, said sole distal region of the at least one force transmission element comprising two sole distal sections which can be locked together in such a way that the length of the sole distal region can be adjusted,   wherein in the state of use:
 the at least one force transmission element extends around the outer side of the sole, so that at least a part of the sole proximate region rests against the outer side of the sole and fixes the sole proximate region to the sole in a form-fitting and/or a force-fitting manner, and 
 the sole distal region extends over the surface of the foot wearing the dance or sports shoe facing away from the sole of the foot.

         9 . The dance or sports shoe of  claim 7 , wherein
 the outer side of the sole has a plurality of incisions, and   in the worn state of the dance shoe, at least one elongated connecting section is received in one of the incisions of the outer side of the sole, the incisions preferably having an outer section extending from the outer side and an adjoining inner section which is widened relative to the outer section.   
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . The dance or sports shoe of  claim 1 , wherein the upper shoe is an element separate from the sole with the underside of said foot section is formed as a sole section which extends along the outer side of the sole, the sole section having a plurality of slit-shaped recesses which extend along the incisions of the outer side of the sole through which, in the worn state, the elongated connecting sections extend, which are received at least in sections in incisions in the outer side of the sole. 
     
     
         12 . The dance or sports shoe of  claim 11 , wherein a slit-shaped recess extends along each incision in the outer side of the sole. 
     
     
         13 . The dance or sports shoe of  claim 11 , wherein the sole section of the upper shoe is formed in two or more layers, with at least one of the layers being made of plastic, preferably TPU.
