  • This type of shoe is made from a design classic of the type comprising an outer sole from which extends a hull base, itself surmounted by a rod provided with an opening allowing the passage of the foot of a user.
  • Said shoe is capable of cooperating with a sliding element, on the one hand, via surfaces support formed by the underside of the sole cooperating with corresponding fixed surfaces of the sliding element or of a shoe attachment device attached thereto and, on the other hand, through retention zones vertical of the shoe made at the front and back of its sole or part of its hull base, according to standards established, and intended to cooperate with hooking bodies from the fixing device.
  • a shoe of this type is known by the European patent 0.167.765 describing a shoe that can be adapted to skiing hiking or downhill skiing thanks to interchangeability complete with a ski touring sole with a sole of Alpine skiing or, conversely, under a rigid hull base fitted crampons in which the shell fits the foot of the user.
  • a shoe of this type is also described in the French patent application No. 2,743,700 describing a shoe the front and rear ends of which include means for removable fastening, of at least two types of sole, one standardized for skiing and the other with a profile intended for walking, so as to make them interchangeable and authorize from the same hull base the practice of ski with a walking sole, if the ski is equipped with a cradle for elevation or by adaptation of a sole standardized if it is not provided and therefore it is classic.
  • the soles interchangeable are made up of two separate parts but complementary constituting the heel and the toe, each of them defining upper end planes constituting the vertical retaining zones intended to cooperate with the fastening device hooks.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these various drawbacks known from the prior art and relate for this purpose a convertible sports shoe to adapt to several disciplines, in particular gliding, of the type comprising an outer sole from which extends a base of shell, itself surmounted by a rod, provided with an opening allowing the passage of the foot of a user; the shoe is likely to cooperate with a sliding element (not shown), on the one hand, through surfaces support formed by the underside of the sole cooperating with corresponding fixed surfaces of the sliding element (not shown) or a fixing device (not shown) of the shoe attached to it and, on the other hand, by through vertical retaining areas of said shoe made at the front and back of the sole or part of its hull base, according to established standards, and intended to cooperate with attachment members (not shown) from the fixing device.
  • gliding of the type comprising an outer sole from which extends a base of shell, itself surmounted by a rod, provided with an opening allowing the passage of the foot of a user; the shoe is likely to cooperate with
  • the sole consists, on the one hand, an irremovable base, secured to the shell, and on which the front and rear vertical retention zones are produced and, on the other hand, separate front and rear pads, interchangeable and complementary to said sole base on which they adapt to form the bearing surfaces of the shoe on the sliding element (not shown), said front and rear pads respectively constituting the tip and the heel, being chosen by the user between at least two sets of front and rear skids including profiles and dimensional characteristics of each of them are suitable for allow, in relation to the front axial retention zones and rear of the fixed base and in addition to it, the reconstruction and bringing into conformity of a sole with from the same shoe, meeting a binding standard chosen among several depending on whether the user has chosen to practice one sliding discipline or another, such as skiing Alpine, snowboard or ski touring.
  • the present invention also relates to characteristics which will emerge during the description which will follow and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.
  • Shoe 1 shown schematically in Figure 1 generally comprises an outer sole 2 from which extends a shell base 3, itself surmounted by a rod 4, provided with an opening allowing the passage of the foot of a user.
  • Shoe 1 is capable of cooperating with a sliding element not shown, on the one hand, by through support surfaces 5 and 6 formed by the bottom of sole 2 cooperating with surfaces fixed correspondents of the sliding element not shown or a fixing device, not shown, for the shoe 1 reported on it and, on the other hand, through vertical retention zones 7 and 8 of said shoe 1 performed at the front and rear of its sole 2 or part of its hull base 3, according to established standards, and intended for cooperate with unrepresented fastening members from the fixing device.
  • the sole 2 is made up of a part, of a non-removable base 9, integral with the shell 3, and on which the vertical retaining zones are made front 7 and rear 8 and, on the other hand, front pads 10 and rear 11 separate, interchangeable and complementary to said base 9 of sole 2 on which they adapt for form the bearing surfaces 5 and 6 of the shoe 1 on the sliding element not shown.
  • Said front pads 10 and rear 11 respectively constitute the toe and the heel, and are chosen by the user between at least two sets of front and rear pads 10, 10A, or 10B and 11, 11A, or 11B of which the profiles and dimensional characteristics of each of them are able to allow, in relation to the areas of axial retention front 7 and rear 8 of the fixed base 9 and in addition to this, the reconstitution and the in accordance with a sole 2 from the same shoe 1, meeting one fixing standard or another depending on whether the user has chosen to practice a sliding discipline or another, such as alpine skiing, snowboarding or cross country skiing hiking.
  • the front and rear pads constituting the toe 10 and heel 11 are intended for the alpine skiing whose corresponding standard is the standard ISO 5355.
  • the front and rear pads constituting the point 10 and the heel 11 are made removable by means of positioning 12, 13 and 14, 15 and anchor points made in the sole portion 2 forming the fixed base 9, allowing their placement on it, using elements assembly 16 also removable.
