Shoes, in particular sports shoes, that comprise an upper and a heel element arranged to at least partially overlap with at least a part of the upper. The heel element is configured to envelop at least a part of a heel of a wearer of the shoe and is movable with respect to the upper. The movable arrangement between the heel element and the upper allows the wearer to adjust the fit of the shoe.

An adjustable heel support member includes a base portion and an extended portion. The extended portion comprises a lateral portion, a medial portion and a rearward portion. The heel support member further includes a fastening member that can be used to adjust the lateral portion, the medial portion and the rearward portion to resize the heel support member. In some cases, the fastening member may be an elastic ring.

An article of footwear includes a sole and an upper connected to the sole. The upper and the sole form a foot cavity with an insole positioned within the foot cavity. The upper further includes a heel cup defining a posterior heel wall and an elastic heel strap that extends around an exterior surface of the posterior heel wall. The heel cup is configured to be moved between an upright position and a folded position, wherein the posterior heel wall is adjacent to the elastic heel strap when the heel cup is in the upright position, and the posterior heel wall is removed from the elastic heel strap and is laid against the insole when the heel cup is in the folded position.

This disclosure relates to recyclable footwear. Components of an article of footweare.g., an upper and a solemay be secured to one another using one or more cables. The article of footwear may comprise a spacer knit that may cushion a wearer's foot from the one or more cables. The article of footwear may also comprise a heel counter and/or toe cap, which may serve as anchor points for the one or more cables, improving stability. Thus, the article of footwear may be constructed without the use of an adhesive and may be easily disassembled, improving recyclability.

A heel-cup structure for climbing shoes having increased edge-contact properties and friction on uneven surface where the heel area has a protrusion around the outer sole area under the heel and rimmed indentation between the heel counter and the outer sole. The heel-cup structure with protrusion of the outer sole made of soft, polymeric, synthetic rubber material provides a device to latch onto a thin edge of the rock surface in contact, to effectuate edging and heel-hooking.
