Abstract: An insole for a shoe, in particular for a sports shoe, having a first sole section with a standing surface for a user's foot. The first sole section extends vertically over a specified first height when the insole is used as intended. At least two second sole sections are arranged below the first sole section. A second sole section is arranged in a front section of the insole and a second sole section is arranged in a rear section of the insole viewed from the sole longitudinal direction. The two second sole sections extend over a specified second height in the vertical direction when the insole is used as intended and at least one elastic element connects the two second sole sections, each of the two ends of the elastic element engaging with a respective second sole section within the extent of the second height.
Abstract: A method and a device for signalizing a walking or running speed to a runner or walker during walking or running, wherein the runner or walker wears a garment. To conveniently inform the walker or runner about his or her actual walking or running speed, the method includes: a) Determining the actual speed by a speedometer which is worn or carried by the runner or walker; b) Transferring of the actual speed into a light signal, wherein the light signal corresponds to the speed; c) Displaying the light signal by a light emitting element which is attached to the or integrated into the garment.
Abstract: A shoe, comprising a sole and a shoe upper, wherein the sole comprises a sole part which has a base region from which at least one support part extends upwards during the intended use of the shoe, wherein the shoe upper comprises a sock-like section connected to the sole for receiving the foot of the wearer. To obtain improved contact of the shoe with the foot of the wearer, the at least one support part covers the sock-like section on the shoe outer side, wherein no firm connection exists between the support part and the sock-like section over at least a section of the support part and that both the at least one support part and the sock-like section are surrounded by a tensioning element which tensions at least some sections of both the support part and the sock-like section against the foot of the wearer of the shoe.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for lacing a shoe that includes an upper on which a rotating closure is arranged for lacing the shoe by means of at least one tensioning element. The method includes lacing the shoe with a first level of lacing power, resulting in a first tension of the at least one tensioning element, when the user of the shoe generates a first closing signal (S1) by means of the closing button, or alternatively lacing the shoe with a second level of lacing power, resulting in a second tension of the at least one tensioning element, which is higher than the first tension, when the user of the shoe generates a second closing signal (S2) by means of the closing button, which is different from the first closing signal.
