  • Publication number: 20220240626
    Abstract: Disclosed is a running shoe (1) having a lateral side and a medial side. The running shoe (1) has a heel area (FB), a forefoot area (VB), a midfoot area (MB). The front end of the forefoot area (VB) forms a shoe tip (4) and the rear end of the heel area forms a heel edge (5). The running shoe (1) comprises a shoe sole (3) and an upper (2), the upper (2) having a textile base material. In addition, the running shoe (1) has a group of tension straps with at least one compressing tension strap (11, 12, 13, 14) and a group of pulling straps with at least one compressing pulling strap (15, 16). The group of tension straps is arranged in the heel area (FB) and in the midfoot area (MB) of the running shoe (1), and the group of pulling straps is arranged in the forefoot area (VB). In this case, the at least one tension strap (11, 12, 13, 14) is configured in such a way that it exerts an inwardly directed compression force in the worn state.
