ABSTRACT:
A shoe, especially an athletic, leisure or rehabilitation shoe, with an upper part consisting, at least partially, of a flexible material which covers the ankle of the foot (3/4 mid-height) or rises above the ankle (high top) and which is provided with an instep cover coveting the instep of the foot (which is movable like a tongue or forms the tongue or a part of it) on which a central rotary closure is provided, with which at least the instep length of at least one tightening element can be shortened for closing the shoe and can be extended for opening it, and the tightening element is alternately guided respectively from a guide element on the upper side part to a guide element of the instep cover. To achieve a quick closure of such a shoe with a central rotary closure, while maintaining its usual size for low top shoes, also in shoes to be opened wide and in those with a high top upper, for example, in basketball or volleyball shoes, in addition to a central rotary closure, a sliding closure is provided that can be engaged or disengaged at least in the closed position, and which is also coupled with the tightening element and which makes possible a tightening in one sliding direction and a relaxing of the tightening element or elements in the other sliding direction.
