A shoe including an upper with an upper edge, characterized by:
- a flap (7) articulated to the upper in a portion (H), situated below the upper edge (B) of the shoe (1) so that said flap can be set in a non-operation condition (I), in which an outer surface of the flap (7) is adjacent to the upper (T) of said shoe (1);
- a protection element (9), fastened to the upper edge (B) of the upper (T) and including a strip (90), which forms at least a first wing (90a) and a second wing (90b), with said protection element (9) taking an unfolded configuration (D), obtained after definition of the non-operation condition (I) of said flap (7), in which the strip (90) encloses a rear upper portion of the shoe (1) in overlapping condition with respect to the flap (7), and the first wing (90a) and the second wing (90b), enclose the sides of the shoe to be overlapped and locked, above the opposite edges (K) of the fore central part of the upper (T), in order to protect this portion from possible water penetration.
