The present invention relates to a forefoot/midfoot compression member (8100) for a footwear device. The compression member comprises an instep counter (8101) and an arm mechanism (8102) for rigidly supporting the instep counter. The arm mechanism is disposed along only one of the medial or lateral aspects of the footwear device. The arm mechanism is adjustable to move the instep counter to a desired position and a retention mechanism (8104, 8105) is provided to retain the arm mechanism in the desired position. In another aspect, the invention relates to a retention member (9100) for a liner (9101) for a footwear device. The retention member includes a plate (9102) that mounts to the liner. A post (9103) extends from the plate through a bore (9104) defined in a wall (2201) for the footwear device where it is secured with a fastener (9105). In another aspect, the invention relates to a retention member (9150) for an article of footwear (9151) within a footwear device. The retention member comprises a lug (9152) protruding from a base (2100) for the footwear device for mating with a corresponding profile (9153) defined in the sole of the article of footwear.

La présente invention concerne un élément de compression (8100) de l'avant-pied ou de la partie centrale du pied pour un dispositif de calage de chaussure. L'élément de compression comprend un contrefort de cou-de-pied (8101) ainsi qu'un mécanisme (8102) à bras permettant de soutenir fermement le contrefort du cou-de-pied. Ledit mécanisme est disposé uniquement le long d'une des dimensions latérales ou médianes dudit dispositif. Le mécanisme à bras est ajustable, ce qui permet de déplacer le contrefort du cou-de-pied vers la position souhaitée, un mécanisme de retenue (8104, 8105) permettant de retenir le mécanisme à bras dans la position désirée. Dans un des modes de réalisations, l'invention concerne un élément de retenue (9100) destiné à une doublure (9101) d'un dispositif de calage de chaussure. L'élément de retenue comprend une plaque (9102) de support pour la doublure. Un goujon (9103) s'étend depuis la plaque jusqu'à traverser une ouverture (9104) ménagée dans une paroi (2201) destinée à recevoir ledit dispositif et sur laquelle il est fixé au moyen d'une attache (9105). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un élément de retenue (9150) d'une chaussure (9151) dans le dispositif de calage de chaussure. Cet élément de retenue comprend une patte (2100) faisant saillie à partir d'une base du dispositif de calage de chaussure permettant un contact avec un profil (9153) correspondant formé dans la semelle de la chaussure.
