ABSTRACT:
Shoes, especially sport or leisure shoes, preferably for team sports or for group leisure play, with a central rotary closure which, as much as possible, is not present in preferred kicking areas of such shoes while still being in a location where it can be easily and conveniently operated. In accordance with preferred embodiments, the central rotary closure is located on an upper outer (lateral) side in an area surrounding the lateral side of the ankle. With the central rotary closure so located, advantageously, the tightening element runs from the central rotary closure, alternately between guide elements on the instep cover and lateral side part of the upper toward the toe area of the shoe, across the instep in the metatarsophalangeal joint area and then runs upwardly on the other (medial) side of the upper, alternating between guide elements on the instep cover and medial side part of the upper. The distal end of the tightening element may be attached to the upper material in the area of inner (medial) side of the ankle, or the tightening element can be run around the heel portion of the upper where the distal end of the tightening element may be returned to the central rotary closure and attached to the upper in the area of the central rotary closure or coupled with the central rotary closure.
