摘要 |
The invention relates to a sports boot ( 1 ) for walking or cross-country skiing, with a flexible shaft ( 2 ) receiving the foot, and a reinforcement ( 5 ) surrounding the shaft ( 2 ) on its external side by sections and being connected with the outsole ( 3 ). The shaft ( 2 ) is formed in this connection by a cushioned inner boot ( 6 ), and a coat ( 8 ) of fabric o some other material compatible with the skin. The reinforcement ( 5 ) is formed by a latticed or net-like support structure ( 12 ) for the inner boot ( 6 ), and composed of flexible ribbon elements ( 13 ) having, however, the highest possible tensile strength, and being made of plastic or textiles, said ribbon elements resting against external part sections of the inner boot ( 6 ), or surrounding the inner boot ( 6 ) on its external side within part sections. In this connection, the latticed or net-like support structure ( 12 ) is variable with respect to its delimiting or receiving volume as required by means of a lacing system ( 14 ). In addition, a soft overstocking ( 16 ) is formed, which surrounds the latticed or net-like support structure ( 12 ) at least by sections, and serves there for sealing or shutting off the interior of the boot versus external environmental influences.
