Patent

CA 1335934

An improved athletic shoe for resisting ankle inversion is disclosed. The shoe includes an inversion resisting device which prevents inversion of the ankle while permitting a full range of motion in the other planes or directions of motion, i.e., eversion, plantar flexion, and dorsi flexion. The inversion resisting device includes a leg engaging strap, a strapping mechanism, a fastening device and an inversion resistance adjusting mechanism. The leg engaging strap surrounds the leg at an adjustable position above the ankle joint. The leg engaging strap is connected to the shoe by the strapping mechanism which is disposed only on the lateral side of the shoe upper. The strapping mechanism is connected to the shoe by a fastening device which permits a full range of movement in all directions other than in- version in an area centered about the axis of motion of the ankle. The amount of inversion resistance is adjustable by the inversion resistance adjusting mechanism which adjustably sets the length of the strapping mechanism.
