ABSTRACT:
A cycling shoe having the characteristics of stiffness, low weight, foot stability and walking comfort has as its primary element a unit body of monocoque construction in the form of a contoured sheet, for example of fiber and resin composite, that replaces the sole and part of the upper of a traditional shoe. The unit body includes a sole portion and a perimeter region. A downwardly-extending ridge structure defines a substantial portion of the perimeter region. An upwardly-extending sidewall terminates the perimeter region, and forms a portion of the shoe upper. Shoe upper components include a stiffened and contoured tongue piece and adjustable straps for pressing the tongue piece down against the forefoot of the cyclist.
