Shell, particularly for sports shoes

Abstract

A shell, particularly for sports shoes, such as for example skates, has a size, preselected during production, that is obtained by selectively connecting a separate front toe portion and a separate rear heel portion to a central body for supporting the sole of the foot.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A shell, particularly for sports shoes, wherein it has a size, preselected during production, that is obtained by selectively connecting a separate front toe portion and a separate rear heel portion to a central body for supporting the sole of the foot.  
     
     
         2 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said central body is constituted by a first surface that is shaped approximately complementarily to the sole of the foot and from which two wings protrude laterally, said wings constituting two first lateral containment rims for said foot.  
     
     
         3 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said central body has a first front end and a second rear end, which are flat and allow respectively the toes or the metatarsal region of the foot and the heel to protrude from the central body.  
     
     
         4 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said toe portion has a second flat surface, from which a second raised rim for containing the tip of the foot protrudes laterally and to the front.  
     
     
         5 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said heel portion has a third flat surface, from which a third raised rim for containing the foot's heel protrudes laterally and to the rear.  
     
     
         6 . The shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein said first end of said central body is arranged above said second flat surface of said toe portion, so that said second raised rim of said toe portion is arranged outside said pair of wings of said central body.  
     
     
         7 . The shoe according to  claim 6 , wherein said second end of said central body is arranged above said third flat surface of said heel portion, so that said third raised rim thereof is arranged outside said pair of wings of said central body.  
     
     
         8 . The shoe according to  claim 7 , wherein said pair of first containment rims and said second and third raised rims constitute, when the shell is assembled, a single perimetric rim containing the foot and preventing lateral movements thereof.  
     
     
         9 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the shape of said central body, said toe portion and said heel portion is such as to allow their selective mutual connection, said toe portion and said heel portion being able to slide temporarily longitudinally with respect to said central body.  
     
     
         10 . The shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein said toe portion and said heel portion are fastened to said central body after setting the size of the shell.
