BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to footwear. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] The object of the present invention is to propose a shoe, which has an element integral therewith, allowing, in an unfolded configuration, to protect the shoe. [0003] Another object of the present invention is to propose a shoe, whose protection element can be made operative with simple manual operations. [0004] A further object of the present invention is to propose a shoe with a protection element, whose dimensions are reduced when in non-use configuration. [0005] A still further object of the present invention is to propose a shoe, which has particular technical-functional characteristics and an interesting aesthetic aspect. [0006] The above mentioned objects are obtained by the present invention, as it can be understood from the claims, and in particular by a shoe including an upper with an upper edge, characterized by: a flap articulated to the upper in a portion, situated below the upper edge of the shoe so that said flap can be set in a non-operation condition, in which an outer surface of the flap is adjacent to the upper of said shoe; [0007] a protection element, fastened to the upper edge of the upper and including a strip, which forms at least a first wing and a second wing, with said protection element taking an unfolded configuration, obtained after definition of the non-operation condition of said flap, in which the strip encloses a rear upper portion of the shoe in overlapping condition with respect to the flap, and the first wing (90a) and the second wing, enclose the sides of the shoe to be overlapped and locked, above the opposite edges of the fore central part of the upper, in order to protect this portion from possible water penetration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0008] The characteristic features of the invention are pointed out with reference to the enclosed figures, in which: [0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the shoe proposed by the invention; [0010] FIG. 1A is a lateral, reduced view of the proposed shoe, with a variant of a stabilizing element pointed out; [0011] FIG. 2 is a lateral, reduced view, with the opening of a flap of the proposed shoe pointed out; [0012] FIG. 3 is a top, reduced view of the shoe, with the opening of a shoe protection element pointed out; [0013] FIG. 4 is a prospective view of the proposed shoe, with positioning of the protection element pointed out. BEST MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0014] With reference to the enclosed figures, the reference numeral 1 indicates a shoe, for example a boot, formed by a bottom F, for example a bowl-type bottom, to which an upper T is fastened in known way. [0015] In the regions corresponding to opposite edges S of its fore-upper part, the upper T has a closing strip 6. [0016] First stabilizing means 8, for example a part of a snap faster, only one of which can be seen in the enclosed figures, are fastened to the opposite outer sides "fi" of the bottom F, as shown in FIG. 1. [0017] The first stabilizing means 8, as shown in FIG. 1a, can be otherwise fastened to the opposite sides of the upper T. [0018] The shoe 1 includes a flap 7 articulated to the upper T at a portion H, situated below the upper edge B of the shoe 1. [0019] First locking means 79, for example a strip of Velkro.RTM., whose task will be explained later, are connected to the edge 70 of the inner surface of the flap 7. Continue reading...
