Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012059524A1] The invention relates to an air-permeable tongue for shoes (1) which adapts to an individual instep and can be connected to shoes, the tongue comprising the following: a flexible yet rigid tongue part (1), which substantially represents the outwardly facing upper face of the tongue and which has an elongate tongue shape having a proximal end (2) and a distal end (3) and substantially consists of a rigid, solid material; and padding (14), which is arranged beneath the rigid tongue part (1) toward a foot in order to protect the foot from pressure points by the rigid tongue part (1) after the shoe has been fastened; the rigid tongue part (1) being characterized in that an inner elongate slot (6; 6a; 6b), and extending therefrom inner transverse slots (7), are introduced into the tongue part substantially in the center along the longitudinal axis of the rigid tongue part (1), whereby rigid segments, which in their interior are not interrupted by the elongate slot (6; 6a, 6b) or by transverse slots (7), are produced between said elongate slots and transverse slots, and whereby narrowed and thus flexible material webs (5) are also produced at connecting points between the rigid segments, wherein, by means of said material webs, the rigid tongue part (1) can be deformed and adapt to the instep, and being further characterized in that the padding (14) has an inner elongate slot (14b), which is substantially congruent with the elongate slot (6; 6a, 6b) in the rigid tongue part (1).
