Abstract: A tongue for a shoe, particularly a sport shoe. The tongue has a padded front surface and a multiplicity of orifices (3) passing through this surface. Each of the orifices contains a layer (5) of a porous or reticular material.

Abstract: An intermediate piece and an external piece are clamped to a base on the bottom of a shoe, by a screw. The screw extends into a captive nut which can slide in the base and cooperating teeth on the intermediate piece and the base provide for longitudinal adjustment of the intermediate piece and external piece relative to the base. Radial teeth on the intermediate piece and the external piece permit angular adjustment of the external piece with respect to the base and intermediate piece. A pedal engaging projection on the external piece can thus be adjusted both angularly and longitudinally and can be locked in the adjusted position. The base can be an integral part of the sole of a cycle shoe.
