Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel boot, particularly a horse riding boot that can provide improved comfort to the rider.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a boot that ensures a high level of comfort in any condition of use.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a boot that can be used in horse riding, providing a high comfort when both riding and walking.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a boot that has a relatively simple and inexpensive structure.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a boot which is resistant in each portion thereof.
  • a boot comprising a bootleg designed to wrap the calf of a user, a sole and an upper, said bootleg and said upper being mostly formed of a substantially non-extensible material, characterized in that a front portion of the bootleg and a top portion of the upper disposed in use above the foot of the user are connected together by an extensible band, which is placed in such a position as to cover the user's instep.
  • a boot 11, particularly a horse riding boot comprising a bootleg 12 for wrapping the user's leg, a sole 18 and an upper 12 for covering the user's foot.
  • the bootleg 12 and the upper 13 are mostly made of a non-extensible material, preferably leather.
  • the bootleg 12 has at least the front portion 12a made of a non-extensible material.
  • the upper 13 is preferably wholly formed of a non-extensible material.
  • the boot comprises an extensible band 21 that connects the top portion 14 of the upper 13 and the front portion 12a of the bootleg 12, i.e. the portion 12a facing towards the upper.
  • the extensible band 21 may be extended in a direction from the upper to the bootleg.
  • the extensible band 21 allows easy inclination of the axis 20 of the bootleg 12 with respect to the plane on which the sole 18 lies, thereby affording high footwear comfort.
  • the band 21 is placed on the instep of the user that wears the boot and connects a bottom edge 26 of the bootleg 12 and a top edge 27 of the upper 13.
  • the extensible band 21 is elastic. This further improves comfort, and prevents wrinkles from forming at the footwear heel, when the bootleg is inclined forward.
  • the band 21 is made of elastic fabric.
  • the band 21, the bootleg 12 and the upper 13 are continuously fixed to each other, to form a continuous boot wall.
  • the band 21 may be fixed by sewing to the edges 26, 27 of the bootleg and the upper.
  • the opposite edges of the band 21 fixed to the upper and the bootleg are substantially parallel.
  • the band 21 extends from one lateral side 24 to the opposite lateral side 25 of the boot.
  • the opposite ends 31 of the band 21 at the lateral sides of the boot have a substantially rounded, preferably circular arc shape.
  • the band 21 extends up to a distance "a" from the rear side 22 of the boot, which is from 5% to 15%, particularly about 10% the sole length.
  • the band 21 extends to this distance "a" on both boot sides.
  • the band 21 has a width "b" which is from 10% to 25% the length of the boot sole 18, preferably about 20%.
  • the bootleg 12 of the boot has an axis 20 that, in the rest position, is inclined with respect to a line orthogonal to the resting plane of the sole 18, particularly forming an angle from 3° to 10°.
  • the boot 11 is shown in the rest position with the bootleg inclined forward.
  • the provision of the band 21 allows the bootleg 12 to move to a position in which its axis 20 is substantially vertical, without requiring particular efforts or causing discomfort to the boot user.
  • the extensible band 21 may elastically extend in a direction from the upper 13 to the bootleg 12 at least by 5%, advantageously 10% to 25% of its width "b".
  • the upper 13 and the bootleg 12 are not connected together by the band 21, they are directly fixed at their respective edges, e.g. by sewing, or are possibly integrally formed.
  • the boot also has one or more bands 15-17 made of a non-extensible material, such as leather, which are arranged to cover the extensible band 21.
  • the bands 15-17 may be two or three bands 15-17, as shown in the figure.
  • the bands 15-17 are fixed to opposite sides of the boot, and are free of any constraint in a middle part that covers the extensible band 21.
  • the bands 15-17 partially overlap and may mutually slide onto each other to become packed when the bootleg is bended forward and extend when the bootleg is moved to the upright position.
  • the bootleg also has an elastic portion 23 extending longitudinally with respect to its longer dimension.
  • this additional elastic portion 23 has an elongate shape and is disposed in the rear side 22 of the bootleg 12.
  • the elastic portion 23 allows the user to wear the boot even when wearing relatively thick winter trousers which remains in the bootleg 12 during use.
  • a zipper (not shown) extending along the length of the bootleg 12 is advantageously provided on the rear side 22 of the bootleg. The zipper may be adjacent to the elastic portion 23 and assist easy wearing of the boot.
  • the boot 12 may have a string 19 with a button at its top, to ensure that the zipper and the boot is wholly closed during use.
  • the leg of the boot 11 extends in the direction of height to at least the same length as the sole 18, preferably to the user's knee.
  • the boot 11 also includes two spur-stopping elements 30 disposed on opposite sides of the boot, at the ankle.
  • the elements 30 project out of the boot at one of the bands 15-17.
  • a boot was provided that ensures high comfort in any condition of use. For instance, when a riding boot is concerned, high comfort is ensured when both riding (with the bootleg inclined forward) and walking.
  • the particular position and conformation of the elastic band 21 affords proper bootleg inclination in any condition, with no effort or discomfort for the user.
  • every part of the boot exhibits high resistance, also due to the provision of the bands 15-17 that protect the elastic extensible band.
  • the boot has a relatively simple and inexpensive structure and does not require extensive use of costly materials. Most of the boot is made of typical footwear materials, such as leather.
  • the boot structure as described above may be applied to any kind of boot, also not designed for horse riding.
