摘要

A motorcycle boot comprises a sole or tread (22), a rigid shell (20) and an upper (52) associated with the rigid shell; the upper has furthermore a base insole (54) formed by a plurality of tubular channels (56) which extend over most of the bottom surface of the sole (54) and allow the air to pass at right angles to their axis; the shell has at the front an air intake communicating with the front end of the tubular channels.

1. Motorcycle boot comprising a tread, a rigid shell to which said tread is fixed, and an upper associated with said rigid shell, said upper having a portion configured to wrap around a user's leg and joined with a base insole formed by a plurality of tubular channels, the tubular channels extending over most of a lower surface of the base insole and suitable for allowing passage of air along longitudinal axes of said tubular channels and at right angles to the longitudinal axes of said tubular channels, said rigid shell having a front or toe end that is positionable forward of a user's toes and that forms an air intake positioned forward of the tubular channels such that air flowing at said front end of rigid shell enters the air intake and then enters fore ends of said tubular channels, said rigid shell further comprising at least one rear air outlet opening communicating with said air intake via said tubular channels, said tubular channels being formed by a double layer of rigid fabric and being parallel to each other and oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the boot, neighboring ones of the tubular channels being directly adjacent each other in side-to-side manner, said rigid fabric being permeable such that the passage of air at right angles to the longitudinal axes of said tubular channels occurs continuously through an entire span of each of the channels.
