ABSTRACT:
In a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, with a reinforcement which partially or entirely encloses the foot below the ankle joints and which extends above the upper ankle joint on one or both sides of the foot, wherein the reinforcement has a stirrup element which at least partially surrounds the foot below the ankle joints and a sleeve element which at least partially surrounds the calf above the upper ankle joint, and wherein the sleeve element is connected with the stirrup element on the inner side of the foot and/or on the outer side of the foot via an articulation in order to transmit at least tractive forces between the stirrup element and the sleeve element, it is proposed that the articulation on the outer side of the foot is arranged so as to be offset toward the front in the longitudinal direction of the shoe relative to a center position between the outer malleolus and the inner malleolus of the upper ankle joint and that the articulation on the inner side of the foot is arranged so as to be offset toward the rear in the longitudinal direction of the shoe relative to the center position. In this way, reliable protection against injury is achieved along with sufficient mobility. The reinforcement according to the invention can also be used in connection with an orthopedic stocking or the like textile support fabrics for the stabilization of ankle joints.
