ABSTRACT:
A shoe, especially a sport, leisure or rehabilitation shoe, is provided with a central fastener that is attached on a dimensionally stable instep cover that is movable toward or away from the instep and which is configured for use on shoes having an upper formed of a material that is deformable under tensile stresses in at least a throat area. This is basically achieved, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, in that the central fastener (24) is provided with a holding plate (23), which is fastened to a soft elastic tongue (15) and stiffening or tensioning strips are attached to the upper along opposite sides of the throat area, and a rope-like tightening element runs, from the central fastener, along the opposite sides of the throat area, passing back-forth between guide elements on the stiffening or tensioning strips and the guide elements of the instep cover. The holding plate (23) is substantially smaller than the length of the instep (26). As a result, essential parts of the tongue (15) remain pliable.
