ABSTRACT:
A shoe provided with a central closing device, especially a sport, leisure or rehabilitation shoe, with an upper formed of flexible upper materials, and with an instep shield which covers the instep. The instep shield is designed so that it can be fastened to the side parts of the shoe on both sides of the shoe upper, in a manner making it possible to tighten the instep shield and the side parts of the shoe upper over the entire closing area in a simple way and with as uniform a closing or tightening force as possible to guarantee as uniform a pressure distribution as possible along the entire throat area of the shoe. This is achieved by the instep shield being connected, on each side of its end that is directed toward a toe of the upper, to a closing flap made of a springy elastic material, with each closing flap being connected to a respective side part of the upper and running along the length of the instep shield. Furthermore, a closing device is used which includes a central tightening system having at least one tightening lock and at least one tightening element for moving the closing flaps, and the side parts of the upper to which they are connected, with respect to the instep shield. The at least one tightening element runs between the closing flaps and the instep shield in a crossing-free manner, at least at upper and lower parts of the instep shield.
