    The invention relates to a sports shoe for the practice of skiing, as specified in the claims.
    WO2007 / 015908A2 describes a system for displaying the athletic mileage of a running athlete on electronic devices. The signals from a step sensor in the sole of the running shoe, a heart rate or blood pressure sensor on the runner's body, and other sensor data are transmitted wirelessly to an electronic adapter device. The adapter device, which receives at least the step signals, can be mechanically connected and disconnected via a connector to the data interface of a standard display device and transfers the data to be visualized by means of the display device via this data interface. The adapter device and the display device, which can be formed by a standard mobile phone, a PDA, an MP3 player, a wrist watch and the like, are worn on the runner's body and are provided for evaluating the run performance of the runner. This known system is only of limited use in connection with the practice of skiing.
    DE9417953U1 describes an insert for a ski boot. This insert should serve as a learning aid for the execution of the right swing. It consists of a flat and flexible insert that covers the heel area. A cell filled with a liquid is arranged in this insert part, a cell which is responsive to pressure and which is connected via cable to a power supply and a controller outside the ski boot is arranged in the cell. The controller in turn is connected to a device for generating acoustic signals, in particular a stereo headphone. This device is only partially satisfactory as a support for the practice of skiing.
    The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide skiers with technical equipment which enables them to increase the comfort or the achievable performance in relation to the practice of sports.
    This object is achieved by a sports shoe according to claim 1.
    An advantage resulting from the features of claim 1 is that a generic ski or sports shoe can support the respective user in increasing the comfort and, consequently, the pleasure in connection with the practice of skiing. As an alternative or in combination with an increase in comfort, an increase in performance can also be achieved by the corresponding sports shoe being an instrument or aid with which a so-called digital training system or a “digital coach” can be set up. In particular in connection with suitable electronic or data technology equipment, the corresponding sports shoe can form an ideal element for analyzing the movement behavior of the ski athlete.
    An advantage of the training according to the invention is also that at least the equilibrium behavior of the sportsperson, in particular the so-called balance, can be determined and thus conclusions can be drawn about an excessively strong presentation or reserve of the skier. This is achieved in particular with the specified sensor arrangement in an efficient and at the same time sufficiently meaningful manner. The respective balance is particularly important in connection with ski boots for the practice of alpine skiing.
    A particular advantage of the design according to the invention also lies in the fact that the corresponding sports shoe can be constructed relatively economically and has an optimized comfort or wearing behavior. In particular, the risk or probability of undesirable pressure points on the typically relatively pressure-sensitive foot of a sportsperson is minimized or kept to a minimum. Especially because the cable connections of the sensors in the sole arrangement each run in the direction of the middle of the sole, in which the arch section of the user is arranged when using the sports shoe, pressure points can also be avoided if the respective cable runs have corresponding cross sections or height dimensions. Above all, the electrical wiring and the electrical connection can be simplified and implemented as cost-effectively as possible. For example, even if the cable connections are formed by customary, inexpensive copper lines or cable cores, undesired pressure points at the foot of the user are prevented.
    Furthermore, the measure that the cable connections to and / or from the pressure-sensitive sensors in the sole arrangement are routed together via the heel section in the direction of the upper shoe section enables a construction which is as uncomplicated and thus economically producible as possible. In particular, the cable routing over the heel section of the sports shoe or the inner shoe enables a robust construction, as well as an uncomplicated and economical implementation.
    In addition, due to the arrangement or positionability of the signal processing device in the upper shoe section, an attachment position that is as optimized as possible with regard to wearing comfort, robustness and duration of use of electrochemical energy sources is selected.
    An advantage of the measures according to the invention is also that the sports shoe is designed as a boot or as a so-called “high shoe” which rises above the ankle section of a user. Above all, this enables the most optimal possible detection of the respective equilibrium behavior or the forward and backward states of the user to be detected reliably or meaningfully.
    The measures according to claim 2 are also advantageous, since this creates a quasi-central ground node which simplifies the routing of the lines. In addition, the placement of this mass node in the middle region of the sole arrangement creates an arrangement that is problem-free in terms of space requirement or optimized positioning. Furthermore, by minimizing the cable lengths for the ground lines, a low overall weight can be achieved and the construction costs can be kept as low as possible.
    The measures according to claim 3 offer the advantage that a most meaningful evaluation of the sportsperson with regard to his weight shift can be accomplished. In particular, templates and / or reserves or the respective balance values of the user can be reliably and particularly meaningfully determined if the values of this shin pressure sensor are combined with the pressure values of the sensor arrangements on the sole arrangement. The course of the cable connection over the instep area and the toe section, the sole arrangement and the heel section of the sports shoe also offers the advantage of a cable connection that is as robust as possible and is functional in the long term. Especially in the case of generic sports shoes with a relatively extensive tongue section, which is intended to make it as easy as possible to get into the sports shoe, the structure specified offers an improved implementation. In addition, excess cable lengths, elastic transition pieces or loop designs starting from the tongue of the sports shoe in the direction of adjacent sections of the sports shoe can thereby be avoided.
    The measures according to claim 4 are also expedient, since as a result the length of the cable or ground lines required overall can be kept short.
    The measures according to claim 5 are also advantageous, since this creates a type of receiving channel for the cable connections which ensures a structured or orderly routing of the cable connections. In addition, any pressure points on the foot of the user can thereby be avoided or held back, cable connections with larger cross sections also being able to be routed without problems in the construction or in the material of the sole arrangement. The formation on the underside of the sole arrangement offers the advantage of being easy to install and good accessibility, as a result of which the construction-related manufacturing costs can be kept as low as possible.
    The measures according to claim 6 are also expedient, since this creates good accessibility for assembly or wiring work and, moreover, an avoidance of undesirable pressure points on the foot of the user can be ensured.
    The measures according to claim 7 are also advantageous, since sensors with a relatively limited area of coverage, in particular with a punctiform characteristic, are available in comparison to the total area of the sole arrangement, which enables the respective pressure or load conditions to be evaluated clearly and as simply as possible. In addition, a simple implementation and the most cost-effective production of the sports shoe can be achieved by the measures specified.
    The measures according to claim 8 increase the robustness of the sports shoe. In particular, if the electrical cable connections are made in the sole arrangement of an inner shoe, which inner shoe is designed to be removable for comfort purposes from the outer, comparatively hard shell made of plastic, a high level of practicality or practicality can be ensured. In addition, the small thickness of the protective layer can ensure that the pressure sensor conditions or detection conditions are not impaired. For this purpose, the protective layer has not only a small thickness but also a sufficiently high flexibility, as is known from leather or textile materials or from plastic films.
    The measures according to claim 9 are also expedient, since this enables the weight distribution of the sportsperson to be recorded reliably and precisely in the course of practicing skiing in an optimized form. In particular, excessive user reserves or reserves can thereby be reliably detected and a result that is as meaningful as possible, sensor technology or electronic evaluation result can be recorded and logged or communicated. In particular in the case of sports shoes designed in the form of boots, as is typically the case with ski shoes, an optimized evaluation of the system or usage conditions can be ensured in this way.
    The measures according to claim 10 are also of particular advantage, since as a result the signal processing device does not have to be a fixed or non-permanent component of the sports shoe. In particular, for maintenance and charging work, the electronic signal processing device can also be detached from the sports shoe in a simple manner, without requiring special skill or specialist knowledge. A further advantage lies in the fact that the sports shoe with the sensors permanently installed therein can in principle be offered or put on the market and an end user can freely decide whether to upgrade with the electronic signal processing device and the electronic control system. In addition, it is also possible in a simple manner to subsequently upgrade the electronic control function if the owner of the sports shoe wishes this subsequently.
    The measures according to claim 11 are also expedient, since this results in relatively short cable connections and thus the complexity of the structure can be kept as low as possible.
    The routing of the cable connections in the rear area of the sports shoe, as stated in claim 12, has the advantage that the pressure sensitivity of the user's foot is relatively low there and no or hardly annoying pressure points are caused. In addition, a comparatively practicable production is made possible, which simplifies the construction process. In particular, a cable routing in the side section of the sports shoe, either on the inside or outside, would be comparatively more complex or more technically complex. In addition, an attachment of the plug interface or the signal processing device in the upper, rear section of the sports shoe is favorable in terms of ergonomics, comfort and performance. In particular, the space requirements are comparatively easy to meet, and this also enables the signal processing device to be accommodated inside or below a user's leg.
    Finally, the measures according to claim 14 are also advantageous, since this provides an electrotechnical or digital training or control means which can analyze the practice of skiing and can provide the user with informative feedback regarding the respective performance. Attaching the pressure-sensitive sensors in or on the liner offers manufacturing-related, comfort-oriented and functional advantages.
    A further development according to claim 15 is also advantageous, since a high practical use of the sports shoe can thereby be achieved or a reliable function of the inner shoe can be guaranteed even with intensive use.
    For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.
    Each show in a highly simplified, schematic representation:
    1 shows an embodiment of a sports shoe designed as an alpine ski shoe in a side view;
    2 shows a removable inner boot for an alpine ski boot with an outer shell which is formed from comparatively hard plastic;
    3 shows the sole arrangement of a sports shoe, in particular an inner shoe for an alpine ski boot, with pressure-sensitive sensors;
    4 shows a sports shoe, in particular an inner shoe of a ski shoe, in a view from the rear;
    5 shows a user with a pair of sports shoes designed according to the invention in combination with an electronic control or evaluation system.
    In the introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numbers or the same component names. The location information selected in the description, e.g. above, below, to the side, etc., referring to the figure described and illustrated immediately, and if the position is changed, these are to be applied accordingly to the new position.
    1 shows a side view of an exemplary sports shoe 1, which is designed here as a ski shoe.
    Instead of the ski boot shown as an example, the corresponding sports shoe 1 can also be formed by a cross-country ski boot, a snowboard boot or the like. In particular, a generic sports shoe 1 is to be understood as any shoe which comprises an outer, comparatively stiff shell 2 or at least a relatively stiff cuff or shaft section and a comparatively soft and resilient inner shoe 3 inserted therein and is provided for the practice of skiing ,
    The ski boot shown essentially consists of an outer, relatively dimensionally stable shell 2 and a comparatively flexible inner boot 3. The inner boot 3 preferably consists of foam plastic and textile materials in order to offer the user the greatest possible comfort when the user's foot is in the sports boot 1 , in particular in the inner shoe 3. The inner shoe 3 can preferably be designed to be removable or replaceable compared to the shell 2, as shown in FIG. 2, or it can be permanently connected to the shell 2, in particular glued or sewn. According to a possible embodiment, the sports shoe 1 can be designed as a touring ski boot, in which case the inner boot 3 can also be designed with a laces. According to a particularly expedient embodiment, the sports shoe 1 is designed as an alpine ski shoe, the inner shoe 3 usually not having its own closing or fastening means here.
    The outer shell 2, produced for example by means of a plastic injection molding process, can also have a plurality of openings and thus also form a frame-like or cage-like holding structure for the inner shoe 3. The outer shell 2 around the inner boot 3 serves to transfer forces between the foot of the user and the respective sports equipment on which the ski boot is attached or arranged as efficiently as possible or without delay.
    In both variants of a ski boot, be it as an alpine ski boot or as a touring boot, the inner boot 3 is accommodated in the shell 2 and a foot held by the inner boot 3 can be held in the inner boot 3 by reducing the volume of the shell 2. The volume of the shell 2 is reduced by at least one tensioning device 4, typically tensioning buckles, wherein a different number of tensioning devices 4 can be arranged on the shell 2 on a ski boot, depending on the design model.
    The shell 2 preferably comprises a forefoot shell 7 for receiving the foot of a user and a cuff 6 adjoining the forefoot shell 7, which at least in sections surrounds or receives the lower leg section of a user. The cuff 6 - also known as a shoe upper - is preferably designed as a structurally independent element and is connected to the forefoot shell 7 via two pivot bearing devices 5. The pivot bearing devices 5 positioned on opposite side surfaces of the sports shoe 1 thus form an articulated connection between the cuff 6 and the forefoot shell 7, which enables angling between the forefoot shell 7 and the cuff 6. Of course, this articulated connection can also comprise connecting means which enable a combined translatory and rotary coupling.
    As shown in FIG. 1, two clamping devices 4 can be arranged on the forefoot shell 7 and on the cuff 6. However, versions with a total of two or three tensioning devices 4 per sports shoe 1 are also possible. A band-shaped tensioning means 8 can also be arranged on the cuff 6 of the sports shoe 1, by means of which a foot accommodated in the sports shoe 1, in particular the lower leg section of a user, can be additionally stabilized. The band-shaped tensioning means 8 for the cuff 6, as can be seen from FIG. 1 by way of example, preferably extends continuously, in particular ring-like, over the circumference of the upper end portion of the sports shoe 1.
    An athletic shoe 1 designed according to the invention comprises at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9a-d for the electrotechnical or electronic detection of mechanical pressures or forces in or on the athletic shoe 1. In particular, at least one sensor 9a-d is provided in or on the athletic shoe 1, which detects mechanical loads, in particular Pressures or forces between the foot of the user and the sports shoe 1 can be converted into corresponding electrical signals or can provide corresponding signals. The at least one electronic sensor 9a-d can be designed as an active or a passive pressure or force sensor. The at least one sensor 9a-d is expediently designed as a pressure-sensitive resistance element or as a detector operating according to the resistive or ohmic principle of action. Different pressure loads which act on the sensor 9a-d are mapped as different electrical resistance values, which can then be distinguished or detected from one another by electrical signals. According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one of the pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d of the sports shoe 1, in particular on the inner shoe 3 thereof, is formed by a textile pressure sensor, which has a relatively high degree of shape flexibility or adaptability in relation to the three-dimensional shape of an inner shoe 3 or in relation to it on the contours of a foot shape. Such pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d are also known as “textile sensors” and are well suited for attachment to or for integration into soft-elastic or textile objects, in particular in relation to the inner shoe 3 of the generic sports shoe 1. However, it is also possible to form at least one of the sensors 9a-d by a pressure sensor operating according to the piezoelectric principle of action.
    2 shows pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d at appropriate positions of an inner shoe 3.
    According to a practical embodiment, at least one sensor 9a can be positioned in the front sole section of the inner shoe 3, which front sole section is assigned to the toe pads or the forefoot section of a user in the use or use state of the sports shoe 1.
    In addition, at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9b can be positioned in the rear sole section of the inner shoe 3, which is assigned or can be assigned to the heel bone of a user.
    By means of combined evaluation of the pressure signals based on or provided by sensors 9a and 9b, sensor technology can be used to draw conclusions in particular about the weight distribution or the so-called balance of the user. The sensor-related recording of the weight distribution of the user in relation to the forefoot and / or heel bone is of particular importance and practicality in connection with ski boots for the practice of alpine skiing, since the respective weight distribution or the dynamic weight shift of the user can be detected.
    According to a further alternative or combinatorial embodiment, at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9c can be provided in or on the inner shoe 3, which absorbs the compressive forces or loads acting on the lower leg or shin section of a user. Expediently, this sensor 9c, as shown schematically in FIG. 1, is positioned in a section of the sports shoe 1 closest to the front section of the cuff 6. According to the example, the at least one sensor 9c is formed directly in or on the tongue 10 of the inner shoe 3, as was illustrated by broken lines in FIG. 2. As a result, the so-called template or the shift in the center of gravity of a user can be practically detected in the forward direction.
    According to an expedient measure, provision can also be made for at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9d to be provided in the rear section of the upper of the inner shoe 3, as was indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 1, 2. The rear section of the inner shoe upper is essentially assigned or assignable to be closest to the fibula of a user. As a result, so-called reserves or shifts in the center of gravity of a user in the rearward direction can be appropriately recorded.
    2 represents designs of the sensors 9a-d in the inner structure of the inner shoe 3. In particular, the sensors 9a-d are at least partially embedded in the material, in particular in the plastic material of the inner shoe 3. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to provide at least one of the sensors 9a-d on the outer surface of the inner shoe 3 or on the inside of the inner shoe 3 closest to the foot of a user, in order to be in relatively direct contact with the foot or the sock one To stand users of the sports shoe 1.
    The respective pressure forces between the foot of the user and the sports shoe 1 or between the sports shoe 1 and the ground, for example a sports device coupled to the sports shoe 1, can thus be recorded electronically or sensor technology via the at least one sensor 9a-d and by means of a subsequent one described evaluation electronics are evaluated or monitored.
    In order to be able to carry out this data-technical evaluation or evaluation in an optimized manner, it is expedient if the sports shoe 1 has at least one radio-technical communication interface 11. This radio-technical communication interface 11 is for wireless transmission of pressure signals or pressure-related data, which is via the at least one pressure-sensitive
    Sensor 9a-d were provided. The radio communication interface 11 is provided for a signal or data transmission in the close range, that is, for a maximum transmission distance of up to 100 m, preferably of up to 3 m. It is expedient if the radio communication interface 11 of the sports shoe 1 is designed for signal or data transmission according to the Bluetooth, ZigBee, NFC or WLAN standard. RFID communication systems are also conceivable in this context. It is essential that this radio-technical communication interface 11 of the sports shoe 1 is compatible with a standardized, radio-technical communication interface 12 on at least one standardized, electronic evaluation device 13. In particular, the communication interface 11 on the sports shoe 1 is designed for data communication with a corresponding communication interface 12 on an external, preferably mobile, electronic evaluation device 13. The signal or data transmission can take place unidirectionally starting from the communication interface 11 in the direction of the communication interface 12 of the evaluation device 13. However, bidirectional data communication is preferably provided between the shoe-side communication interface 11 and the external, evaluation-side communication interface 12, as was indicated in FIG. 1 by means of a double arrow. The electronic evaluation device 13 serves at least to evaluate the pressure conditions detected by the at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9a-d or the electrical pressure signals derived therefrom. In particular, the electrical pressure signals of the at least one sensor 9a-d are transmitted in data technology form to the electronic evaluation device 13 via the shoe-side communication interface 11 and are processed or evaluated by means of the latter and signaled, in particular at least visualized, in a form which is practical for a user of the evaluation device 13.
    The electronic, preferably mobile evaluation device 13 is preferably formed by a commercially available, mobile computing unit 14, in particular defined by a smartphone 15, as was illustrated in FIG. 5. Alternatively or in combination with a smartphone 15, it is also possible to use a standard tablet PC or a so-called wearable computer, for example in the form of a wristwatch. The radio communication interface 12 of these aforementioned electronic units, which is present as standard, is compatible with the radio communication interface 11 implemented on the sports shoe 1. In particular, the radio communication interface 11 on the sports shoe 1 is designed such that it can establish a data communication connection with at least one radio communication interface 12 of the aforementioned mobile computing units 14, in particular with a radio communication interface 12 of a smartphone 15. The mobile computing unit 14, in particular the smartphone 15 of the user - FIG. 5 - has a data link with the communication interfaces 11 in each case on each of the two sports shoes 1 of the user. This means that a data connection between the mobile computing unit 14, in particular the smartphone 15, of the user and the two sports shoes 1 worn by this user is established or can be established. Thus, a two-channel, radio connection between the pair of sports shoes 1 of the user and his smartphone 15 can be provided.
    It may be expedient if the radio communication interface 11 on the respective sports shoe 1 is defined by a Bluetooth communication interface, which is connected to the corresponding, standardly implemented Bluetooth communication interface 12 of a commercially available, mobile computing unit 14, in particular on a smartphone 15 a tablet PC, or on a wearable computer, for example in the manner of a wristwatch.
    As can best be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, the at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9a-d of the sports shoe 1 can be or is connected to an electronic signal processing device 16, in particular is connected to a line. This electronic signal processing device 16 is preferably arranged or positionable on the sports shoe 1 and is used, among other things, for conditioning or conditioning the electrical pressure signals provided by the at least one pressure-sensitive sensor 9a-d. The sensors 9a-d are each connected via electrical cable connections 17a-d to a microcontroller 18 or a comparable electronic evaluation circuit within the signal processing device 16.
    It is also conceivable for the signal processing device 16 to be assigned at least one temperature and / or humidity sensor 19 (FIG. 1), which sends electrical signals corresponding to the prevailing temperature and / or humidity conditions to the microcontroller 18 via at least one line for processing or evaluation transfers. As shown schematically in FIG. 1, such a temperature and / or moisture sensor 19 can preferably be positioned in the toe or midfoot section of the sports shoe 1. The signal processing device 16 is then provided for the wireless transmission of the respective temperature and / or moisture data to the mobile computing unit 14, in particular to the smartphone 15, by means of which the visualization, monitoring and / or logging of the respectively present temperature and / or moisture values in the sports shoe 1 can be made.
    The pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d can be designed as pressure / voltage converters, while an optional temperature and / or humidity sensor 19 can also be understood as a corresponding converter or converter circuit.
    The electronic signal processing device 16 on a sports shoe 1 of a user is further coupled in terms of signal technology to the radio communication interface 11 already explained above, or the electronic signal processing device 16 comprises this radio communication interface 11. According to a typical embodiment, as illustrated in FIG Microcontroller 18 is connected via at least one data or signal line 20 to the typically modular radio communication interface 11. To supply the electronic signal processing device 16 with electrical energy, in particular for
    Power supply of the various sensors and of the microcontroller 18 is furthermore formed on or in the signal processing device 16 at least one electrical power supply source 21, in particular at least one battery or an electrochemical accumulator.
    The signal processing device 16 further comprises at least one storage device for system-relevant data or operating states. As an alternative or in combination, such data can be stored on the user, in particular by means of the user's mobile computing unit 14, for example in his smartphone 15, and / or in a storage device (cloud storage) which can be accessed via a data network.
    The electronic or electrotechnical components of the signal processing device 16 are preferably accommodated in a housing 22. In contrast, the pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d in particular are positioned externally with respect to the housing 22 and via the already mentioned electrical lines or cable connections 17a-d - see FIG. 2 - either directly, but preferably via a plug interface that can be activated and deactivated as required 23, with the electronic signal processing device 16 connected or connectable. According to an expedient embodiment, the housing 22 of the electronic signal processing device 16 is arranged or positionable in the cuff area of the sports shoe 1, in particular on the rear side of the cuff 6, as is exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1. In this case, a holding device 24, for example a mounting bracket 25, can be provided, by means of which the housing 22 can be releasably attached in the vicinity of the upper collar section of the sleeve 6. The electronic signal processing device 16, in particular its housing 22, is preferably detachably mounted or mounted on or in the sports shoe 1, if necessary. As a result, practical charging or regeneration of the energy supply source 21 and simple maintenance of the electronic signal processing device 16 can be carried out, among other things. The shoe-side electronic signal processing device 16 or communication interface 11 and the peripheral electronic evaluation device 13 or the corresponding mobile computing unit 14 form an electronic evaluation or control system 26 - FIG. 5 - for the user of the sports shoe 1. However, the corresponding control system 26 also provides a helpful tool for sales or service companies of such sports shoes 1, in particular for sporting goods dealers, to increase customer satisfaction.
    According to a practicable embodiment, a sports shoe 1, in particular a ski shoe, is thus provided, which sports shoe 1 comprises a lower shoe section 27 for receiving the foot of a user and an upper shoe section 28 provided for receiving the lower leg section of this user. The upper shoe section 28 is connected to the lower shoe section 27, for example articulated, as illustrated in FIG. 1. A generic sports shoe 1 is thus designed like a boot or extends well beyond the ankles of a user.
    The sports shoe 1 comprises a sensor arrangement 29, which comprises a plurality of pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-d arranged in a distributed manner. The sensors 9a-d are each connected or connectable to the electronic signal processing device 16, which is arranged or can be arranged directly on the sports shoe 1, via at least one-pole, in some cases via two-pole cable connections 17a-d.
    At least two sensors 9a, 9b of the sensor arrangement 29 are provided in or on a sole arrangement 30 of the sports shoe 1 which is closest to the sole of the foot of a user. At least one first sensor 9a is positioned in a forefoot section 31 of the sole arrangement 30 of the sports shoe 1 and at least one second sensor 9b is positioned in a heel section 32 of the sole arrangement 30. With respect to a longitudinal axis 33 of the sole, the forefoot section 31 can take up about a third of the sole length, while the heel section 32 can also take up about a third of the sole length.
    It may be expedient if a single first sensor 9a is provided, which is arranged at least predominantly or entirely off-center to the longitudinal axis 33 of the sole, in particular closer to the inside of the
    Sports shoes 1 is positioned, as can be seen in FIGS. 2, 3. As a result, relatively clear force measurements or pressure recordings can be carried out and meaningful conclusions can be drawn in a relatively efficient manner about the upward-edging or guiding behavior of the user in relation to skis to be used in pairs.
    Furthermore, it may be expedient to provide only a single second sensor 9b in the heel section 32 of the sole arrangement 30, which sensor is used in relation to the
    Longitudinal longitudinal axis 33 is positioned as centrally as possible, as is schematically indicated in FIGS. 2, 3. As a result, despite the lowest possible set-up or hardware costs, relatively good acquisition and evaluation results can be achieved. The individual sensors 9a-d are connected or connectable to the signal processing device 16 in an electrically conductive manner via single or multi-pole cable connections 17a-d. This electrical connection is either permanently provided or, if necessary, can be produced and releasably implemented. A first cable connection 17a between the at least one first sensor 9a and the electronic signal processing device 16 and a second cable connection 17b between the at least one second sensor 9b and the electronic signal processing device 16 extend from the at least one first sensor 9a and from the at least one second Sensor 9b in each case in the direction of a sole central region 34 which can be assigned to the arch of the foot or the middle of the foot of a user, as can best be seen in FIGS. 2, 3. Subsequently, the first and second cable connections 17a, 17b run from the sole middle region 34 over the heel section 35 - FIG. 2 - towards the upper shoe section 28, in particular towards the shoe upper, in which the signal processing device 16 - FIG is positionable. The cable connections 17a and 17b, starting from the first sensor 9a and starting from the second sensor 9b in the direction of the electronic signal processing device 16, therefore, starting from the sensors 9a, 9b, first run in the direction of the sole central region 34 of the sole arrangement 30. Only subsequently will the cable connections become 17a, 17b or the signal lines from the sensors 9a, 9b further in the direction of the upper shoe section 28, the course of the cable connections 17a, 17b being executed via the heel section 35 of the sports shoe 1 or the inner shoe 3.
    According to an expedient measure, it can be provided that the electrical ground connections 36, 37 of the at least one first sensor 17a and the at least one second sensor 17b are brought together or connected at a common electrical ground node 38 in the central region 34 of the sole and via a common one Ground line 39 -Fig. 3 - are connected or connectable to the signal processing device 16.
    As can best be seen from FIG. 2, at least one third pressure-sensitive sensor 9c can be arranged in a tongue section 40 of the tongue 10 of the sports shoe 1 which is closest to the shin of a user. This sensor 9c is connected or connectable to the signal processing device 16 via a third cable connection 17c. The third cable connection 17c between the third sensor 9c and the signal processing device 16 runs from the third sensor 9c over the tongue section 40, the instep section 41, the toe section 42, the sole arrangement 30 and over the heel section 35 of the sports shoe 1 in the direction of the rear of the upper Shoe section 28, in which the signal processing device 16 is preferably arranged or can be arranged. In this context, it is expedient if a ground line 43 of the third cable connection 17c to or from the third sensor 9c ends in the central region 34 of the sole and is connected to the common electrical ground node 38, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The cable connections 17a-d to or on the sensors 9a-d each comprise, as is known per se, a signal line and a ground line referencing it.
    It is expedient if the mass node 38, which is typically formed in or on the sole arrangement 30, is positioned in the central region 34 of the sole.
    It can also be expedient if the cable connections 17a-d or at least some of these cable connections 17a-d run in groove-like depressions 46, for example in incisions or material-compressed impressions of the sole arrangement 30. In particular, a plurality of depressions 46 can be formed in the underside of a sole layer 45 of the sole arrangement 30, as is illustrated schematically in FIGS. 3, 4. As can furthermore be seen best from FIG. 4, it can be provided that the underside of the sole layer 45 is bonded to a protective layer 47 at least in individual overlap sections with the groove-like depressions 46 and / or the exemption 44 for the mass node 38. This protective layer 47 can be embodied as a plastic layer or as a textile layer, which protective layer 47 has a thickness of at least 2 mm, preferably between 0.5 mm and 1.8 mm.
    According to a practicable embodiment, the at least one first sensor 17a and the at least one second sensor 17b are designed as area-limited, in particular circular, thin-film resistance sensors, which are glued or sewn onto the underside of the sole layer 45 of the sole arrangement 30, as best suited Fig. 3 can be seen. If necessary, the entire underside of the sole arrangement 30 - according to FIG. 3 - can be covered or laminated with the protective layer 47 - according to FIG. 4.
    It is also practical if at least a fourth pressure-sensitive sensor 17d is arranged in a calf section 48 of the sports shoe 1 which is closest to the calf of a user and which is connected or connectable to the signal processing device 16 via a fourth cable connection 17d, as illustrated in FIG. 2 has been.
    According to a practical embodiment, it can be provided that the cable connections 17a-d in the upper shoe section 28 merge into a first plug interface 23. This first plug interface 23, which can be designed in particular as a socket 49, can be electrically coupled to a corresponding second plug interface 50, in particular a plug element 51. The second connector interface 50 can be formed directly on the signal processing device 16, in particular on its housing 22, or can be routed to the signal processing device 16 via a fifth cable connection 52. It is also practical if the fourth cable connection 17d, starting from the fourth sensor 9d, which is positioned in the calf section 48, is led directly to the first plug interface 23, as can best be seen from FIG. 2.
    In contrast, it is practical if the first, second and third cable connections 17a-c starting from the heel section 35, via the Achilles tendon section of the sports shoe 1 are guided in a vertical direction upwards to the first plug interface 23, as best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be seen.
    As can best be seen from FIG. 2, at least one of the cable connections 17a-c, starting from the pressure-sensitive sensors 9a-c to the plug interface 23 or to the signal processing device 16, at least in the run within the sole arrangement 30 of the inner shoe 3, at least one Bo-shaped deflection 53 form, which as a length compensation in the course of
    Rolling or running movements with the inner shoe 3 is provided. This favors the robustness, durability and functional reliability of the sports shoe 1 or of its inner shoe 3.
    According to a preferred embodiment, the first plug interface 23 is positioned in the upper end or collar section of the upper shoe section 28, in particular in the area of the cuff of the sports shoe 1, as was schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4.
    The cable connections 17a-d can be formed by electrical cables or individual lines. As an alternative or in combination, it is also possible to design at least partial sections of at least one of the cable connections 17a-d as multi-pole foil conductor tracks, in particular by forming conductor tracks printed on plastic foils, as was shown schematically in FIGS. 3 and 4. This offers the advantage of relatively thin cable connections 17a-d that can be implemented particularly without pressure points in the relatively soft construction of the inner liner 3.
