SUPPORTING ELEMENT FOR SHOES

摘要

The present invention relates to a supporting element for shoes, in particular for soccer shoes or American football shoes, as well as a sole and a shoe with a supporting element. According to an aspect of the invention a supporting element for a shoe, in particular a soccer shoe or an American football shoe, is provided. The supporting element is provided such that it comprises a first bending stiffness for bendings from an initial state without bending up to a threshold angle range and that it comprises a second bending stiffness for bendings beyond the threshold angle range. Herein, the second bending stiffness is larger than the first bending stiffness.
