Disclosed is a sole with a midsole ( 1 ) for a running shoe, wherein the midsole ( 1 ) comprises a forefoot region (VFB), a heel region (FB) and a midfoot region (MFB) arranged between the forefoot region (VFB) and the heel region (FB), and wherein the midsole comprises an elastic cushioning layer ( 2 ) and a base layer ( 3 ) arranged thereon, wherein the base layer ( 3 ) has a greater hardness than the cushioning layer ( 2 ) and wherein the cushioning layer ( 2 ) forms, in the heel region (FB) and optionally in the midfoot region (MFB) and/or in the forefoot region (VFB), a plurality of channels ( 21, 22 ) extending in the transverse direction (Q) of the sole.

A shoe sole ( 1 ) includes a stability support plate ( 3 ) and a soft elastic midsole ( 2 ) having a forefoot area (VFB), a midfoot area (MFB) and a heel area (FB). The stability support plate is peripherally surrounded by the midsole and the midsole ( 2 ) has a clear space ( 21 ) open to the bottom side (U) of the midsole ( 2 ), which is peripherally surrounded substantially completely by the midsole ( 2 ) and is delimited by the stability support plate ( 3 ). The clear space ( 21 ) extends from the heel area (FB) over the midfoot area (MFB) into the forefoot area (VFB) of the midsole ( 2 ).

The invention relates to a sole for a running shoe, comprising an elastic midsole ( 1 ) with a base surface ( 2 ), which delimits the midsole ( 1 ) opposite the vertical direction (V) of the midsole, and a surface ( 3 ), which delimits the midsole ( 1 ) in the vertical direction (V). The midsole ( 1 ) is divided into a heel region (FB), a central foot region (MFB), and a front foot region (VFB), and the midsole ( 1 ) has multiple channels ( 41, 42, 43 ) which run in the transversal direction (Q) of the midsole ( 1 ) and are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole ( 1 ). Each of the channels ( 41, 42, 43 ) has an elongated contour in the cross-section along a cross-sectional plane in the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole ( 1 ) and perpendicularly to the transverse direction (Q) of the midsole, and each channel ( 41, 42, 43 ) has a main longitudinal axis ( 411, 421 ) in the cross-section along the cross-sectional plane in the longitudinal direction (L) and perpendicularly to the transversal direction (Q). The acute angle (α- 41 ) formed between the main longitudinal axis ( 411 ) and the base surface ( 2 ) of at least one channel ( 41 ) arranged in the heel region is greater than the acute angle (α- 42 ) formed between the base surface ( 2 ) and the main longitudinal axis ( 421 ) of at least one channel ( 42, 43 ) arranged in the central foot region (MFB) and/or in the front foot region (VFB).

A sole for a running shoe having an elastic midsole, the midsole having a plurality of channels extending in the transverse direction of the midsole and arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the midsole, at least some of the channels each including an opening on the lateral side and/or on the medial side in the midsole; a front boundary and a rear boundary in the cross section along a cross sectional plane in the longitudinal direction of the midsole and perpendicularly to the transverse direction of the midsole, as well as a main longitudinal axis, along which the channels in each case extend in a slot-like manner from their respective rear boundary to their respective front boundary in such a way that the lateral-side and/or medial-side opening of the channels narrows along the main longitudinal axis from the rear boundary to the front boundary.

A running shoe with a lateral side, a medial side, a heel section, a forefoot section, and a midfoot section. A front end of the forefoot section forms a toe box and a rear end of the heel section forms a heel counter. The running shoe includes a sole and an upper, wherein the upper has a textile main material. The running shoe has tightening bands with at least one compressing tightening band and tensioning bands with at least one compressing tensioning band. The tightening bands are arranged in the heel section and in the midfoot section of the running shoe and in the forefoot section. At least one tightening band is configured to exert an inwards-directed compression force when the shoe is worn and is configured to run along a non-expanding line (line of non-extension) of the foot of the wearer when the shoe is worn.

A sole for a running shoe with a soft-elastic midsole ( 1 ) includes an underside ( 2 ) at least partially contacting the ground (B) during running and comprises a plurality of channels ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d, 3 e, 4 a, 4 b, 4 c ) extending in the transverse direction (Q). The channels ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d, 3 e, 4 a, 4 b, 4 c ) are arranged in a lateral area of the midsole ( 1 ) in at least a first and a second in horizontal plane, wherein the first and second horizontal plane are vertically offset from each other, and wherein the channels ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d, 3 e, 4 a, 4 b, 4 c ) are each delimited in longitudinal direction (L) by a front wall and a rear wall. The channels ( 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d, 3 e, 4 a, 4 b, 4 c ) are vertically and/or horizontally in the longitudinal direction (L) deformable until their closure under the action of forces occurring during running acting vertically (V) and/or longitudinally.

What is disclosed is a shoe ( 1 ), in particular a running shoe, comprising a shoe tip ( 2 ) and a heel edge ( 3 ) and a lacing system, wherein the lacing system comprises a lacing ( 4 ), wherein the lacing comprises two end regions ( 42, 42 ) along the lacing and a middle region adjoining between the end regions ( 41, 42 ) on respective branching points ( 43, 44 ) of the lacing, and wherein the lacing branches into a first strand ( 46 ) and a second strand ( 47 ) at the branching points ( 43, 44 ); and wherein the shoe has a holder comprising several holding structure pairs for fastening the lacing ( 4 ), wherein the holding structure pairs in each case consist of a medial-side and an opposite holding structure ( 54, 512, 522, 522 ) arranged on the lateral side, and wherein the holder has a from the shoe tip first holding region ( 51 ) comprising at least one holding structure pair, and an adjoining second holding region ( 52 ) arranged in the direction of the heel edge ( 3 ), comprising at least two holding structure pairs; and wherein exclusively the first strand ( 46 ) is fastened to the holding structure pairs in the first holding region ( 51 ), and exclusively the second strand ( 47 ) is fastened to the holding structure pairs in the second holding region ( 52 ).
