WIPO Patent Application WO/1995/017835

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A shoe for a bicycle rider comprises a shoe body, a first fastening band, a second fastening band, a free ring, and a pulling tool. The first fastening band is connected at at least its one end to the shoe body, and has a first folded portion. The second fastening band is connected at at least its one end to the shoe body, and has a second folded portion adjacent to the first folded portion. The free ring permits the first folded portion and the second folded portion to be passed therethrough so as to connect the first fastening band and the second fastening band. Since the fastening bands having the folded portions are connected to each other by means of the free ring, fastening by the fastening bands is finely adjusted in conformity with the shape of foot of the rider. Further, the pulling tool fixes the first fastening band to the shoe body in tension, so that it is made easy to put on and take off the shoe. When the pulling tool is a folded band which has Velcro on opposed surfaces thereof, the first fastening band further includes a third folded portion, and the shoe has further a second free ring through which the third folded portion and the pull tool are passed so as to connect the first fastening band and the pulling tool to each other, the fastening condition of the shoe can be intensely maintained even while the rider pedals the bicycle hard.
