Abstract
A supporting device, particularly for sports shoes, which is constituted by a plurality of elements that are axially and elastically connected to each other. The elements are associated longitudinally with respect to the rear region of the shoe and have a curved shape at their mutual joining region. This device allows to control the articulation of the ankle, and particularly to control the longitudinal and lateral flexibility of the shoe.
