Abstract: A sports shoe comprising a semirigid shell divided into a heel unit and a separate toe unit, which are slidingly associated, the shell containing a soft innerboot that comprises a detachable interconnection for connection of an element for at least partial covering and/or fastening of the soft innerboot, the covering and/or fastening element being conveniently associated with the toe unit and protruding therefrom.

Abstract: A skate structure comprising: a first shoe body for accommodating the user's foot; a second shoe body designed to accommodate the first shoe body; a rigid sole designed to be joined to the second shoe body; a frame comprising a support structure having a top surface that joins to the rigid sole and two sidewall elements for holding the skate's means of movement. The rigid sole also has a rigid toe-piece and two lateral extensions. The skate structure also comprises: first fastening means constituted by adhesive elements positioned between the second shoe body and the rigid toe-piece and between the second shoe body and the front portion of the rigid sole; second fastening means, at least partially constituted by screw fittings, joining the frame to the rigid sole.

Abstract: A skate structure, particularly a roller skate with in-line wheels, comprising a frame (10) for supporting the wheels (14), a rigid sole (16) for supporting a first shoe body (30), a rigid cradle (34) for lateral and rear support of said first shoe body (30), an oscillating collar (40) for supporting the user's leg, and a removable, soft second shoe body (50) inserted into the said first shoe body (30) and designed to hold the user's foot. The frame (10), the rigid sole (16) and the rigid support structure (34) constitute an integral structure made in a single piece. A rigid toe-piece (18) may also be part of the one-piece structure, or, alternatively, may be produced as a separate component to be attached to the first shoe body (30′) or to the one-piece structure before final assembly of the skate.

Abstract: A sports shoe comprising a sole on which a shell divided into a heel unit and a separate toe unit is associated; the heel unit and the toe unit are mutually associated so that they can slide along a substantially longitudinal axis and comprise an adjustment device for increasing the overall volume of the sports shoe by means of a forward movement of the toe unit.

Abstract: A sports shoe comprising a soft upper associated with a rigid shell and a rigid plate, externally associated with the shell and with the upper, and interacting with two fasteners.

Abstract: A shell, particularly for a ski boot, constituted by a box-like main body which is open in an upward region and is rigidly coupled to a sole. The shell has, at the foot instep region, two arc-like partially overlapping plates, each of which is rotatably pivoted to the shell by pivots arranged laterally to the shell on an axis which is approximately parallel to the resting plane of the sole. The rotation of the two plates is limited by a pivot and slot connection arranged in the region in front of the heel.

Abstract: A sports shoe, particularly for skates, constituted by a rigid sole and by a separate soft upper, which surrounds at least part of the heel, the rigid sole being associated or formed monolithically with a frame that surrounds the foot at least laterally for containing a soft innerboot.

Abstract: A sports shoe (2) for practicing a gliding sport comprising: a relatively rigid sole (201) adapted to be interfaced with a gliding device; a relatively rigid shell (200) associated to said sole (201) and extending beyond said sole for surrounding, at least partially, the user's foot; a cuff (2b) associated to said shell (2a) and extending beyond said shell for surrounding, at least partially, the lower portion of the user's leg; the sports shoe comprising a reinforcing assembly (1), which surrounds, at least partially, the rear region of the lower portion of the user's leg and which is associated to the sports shoe, at least at the approximate anklebone region (701) of the lower portion of the user's leg.

Abstract: A sports shoe (2) for practicing a gliding sport, comprising a force transmission structure (300) for consolidating the forces transmitted between a gliding device, associated to said sports shoe, and a foot and a lower portion of the user's leg accomodated in said shoe. The force transmission structure comprises force conveying means (301) for concentrating the forces, which are transmitted between said gliding device and the foot and the lower portion of the user's leg, in a predefined stress region (1) extending approximately from the rear region (700) of the lower portion of the user's leg to the anklebone region (701).

Abstract: A fastening strap for sports shoes, particularly for in-line skates, comprising at least two elements made of materials having mutually different rigidities. This allows better adaptation to the outer shape of the shoe and eliminates pressure points, particularly on the bony regions of the leg.

Abstract: A skate which includes a shoe having a first frame and a second frame for supporting one or more wheels. The first frame and the second frame, or the sole of the shoe, are articulated in a region which lies approximately below the metatarsus of the foot in order to allow better flexing. An adjustable fork assembly is also provided between the first frame and the sole and is adapted to force the planar arrangement of the shoe once thrusting has ended.

Abstract: A skate with in-line wheels, including a first front body, for supporting and locking the front part of the foot, and a second rear body, for supporting and locking at least the heel, the bodies having a first frame and a second frame for supporting a plurality of wheels. The first and second bodies and the first and second supporting frames are rotatably associated to each other to allow better transmission of lateral forces during sports practice.

Abstract: An improved skate with in-line wheels or with an ice-skating blade, includes a shoe which is articulated in the metatarsal region so as to form a sole which is divided into a front part and a rear part. The front part is rigidly associated with a first supporting frame for the wheels or for a blade, while the rear part is slidingly associated with a second supporting frame for the wheels or for a blade. The first and second frames are mutually articulated approximately in the region below the metatarsus, allowing to improve the adaptation of the skate to the natural movement of the foot.

Abstract: A sports shoe including a rigid supporting element which surrounds the sole and the sides of the foot and at least partially the rear part and the sides of the leg. A soft upper is associated with the rigid supporting element.

Abstract: Braking device, particularly for skates that comprise a shoe composed of a quarter articulated to a shell associated with a frame whereto two or more wheels are pivoted. A rod member is connected to the quarter and is slidingly associated at a seat that acts as a guide and is formed on a support associated with the frame.
