Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Among the many motorcycling sports activities, practice of the discipline known as supermotard is increasingly widespread; in this discipline, motorcycles that have a particular structure are used on appropriately provided dirt tracks, generally constituted by two parallel straight sections connected by two sharp U-bends. [0002] The riding technique used in supermotard competitions and in non-competitive practice entails that the rider rides the dirt-track bends by placing one or both of his feet on the ground in order to ensure that the motorcycle, which moves along the entire bend by countersteering, has the required stability. [0003] The application of this riding technique entails intense wear of the sole of the shoes worn by the rider; however, this wear is concentrated almost entirely in the outer region of the sole of the foot. [0004] Likewise, steering techniques used for the motorcycling discipline of motocross cause a particularly intense wear of the sole in very specific points, which however in this case affect the inner region of the sole and are caused mainly by the action of the gear lever and of the rear break. [0005] Known sports shoes, intended for the practice of supermotard or motocross, are currently used which have a sole that is made of a rubber that has high-level mechanical properties and wear resistance, and are capable of withstanding the stresses imparted by their use on the track for a certain period of use. [0006] The main drawback of this known type of sports shoe is that the rubber used to provide the sole is very expensive, due to the materials used for its manufacture, to the production process that is followed and to the specific nature of the application. [0007] Another drawback of these shoes of the known type relates to the fact that due to their particular use, which entails wear that is concentrated almost entirely in the outer region of the sole of the foot, they are unusable when said region has worn out, even though the remaining part of the sole and of the upper are still in excellent conditions. [0008] Moreover, low-cost sports shoes for supermotard are known in which the sole is made of a rubber that has low-level mechanical and wear-resistance properties and on which it is possible to arrange, in the region of higher wear, detachable outsoles made of a rubber that has higher mechanical and wear-resistance properties. [0009] Said outsoles are connected to the sole by means of one or more screws, which are arranged vertically with their head directed downward, so as to grip in a lower region the sole of the shoe and allow to replace said outsoles once they are worn. [0010] The main drawback of this known type of shoe is that as a consequence of the wear of the outsoles, the heads of the screws that couple said outsoles to the sole make contact with the ground and are severely damaged by friction against it, to the point that removing and replacing them is extremely difficult if not impossible. [0011] Another drawback of this known type of shoe is that if outsole replacement is possible, it requires the use of new screws for fixing to the sole, and this causes an increase in costs and in the number of components used. [0012] Low-cost shoes for motocross are also known in which the sole is made of a rubber that has low-level mechanical and wear-resistance properties and on which it is possible to arrange, in the regions of higher wear, removable outsoles made of a rubber that has higher mechanical and wear-resistance properties. [0013] Said outsoles are coupled to the sole by interposing a layer of adhesive that is capable of generating a high adhesion force, in order to withstand the intense stresses to which the outsole is subjected during use. [0014] The main drawback of this known type of shoe is that the outsoles can be replaced only by using appropriately provided equipment that is suitable to overcome the adhesion force of the adhesive and is available for example at the facility used to manufacture said shoe, and manual replacement of the outsole by the user is impossible. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0015] The aim of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a sports shoe, particularly for motorcycling and particularly for the sports practice of supermotard or motocross, that allows an extended use thereof that entails intense wear of the sole concentrated in certain points thereof. [0016] Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a sports shoe whose technical characteristics can be restored rapidly and simply and at low cost and in a short time. [0017] Another object is to provide a sports shoe that is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs. [0018] This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a sports shoe particularly for motorcycling, comprising an upper with which a sole is associated, characterized in that at least one receptacle is provided on said sole, at least at the outer region of the sole of the foot, for detachably accommodating one or more outsoles that are thicker than said at least one receptacle, said sole and said one or more outsoles being detachably associable by way of connecting means constituted by layers of temporary dry grip material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0019] Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of some particular but not exclusive embodiments thereof, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein: [0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sports shoe particularly for motorcycling, according to the invention; [0021] FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the invention; Continue reading about Sports shoe, particularly for motorcycling...
