ABSTRACT:
A sport boot, intended especially for cross country skiing, essentially flexible, has a front area (16) of the shaft (9) which is continuous and completely closed, with respect to which slits (19, 21) are offset, allowing the opening and closing of the shaft (9) so that the boot can be put on and taken off. On the inside of the boot (1) is attached, along a lateral area (33) of the sole, an end (32) of a strap (31) which bypasses the foot at the level of the metatarsals, then issues from the boot through a slit (40) placed in an area (27) located between the front area (16) of the shaft (9) and the slits (19, 21) to bypass the ankle joint between the lower level of the lower attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneum and the lower level of the malleoli, overlapping the slits until it cooperates with means (41) for the tightening of the strap (31). The strap (31) ensures both placement of the foot flush against the sole (2) inside the boot, and closing of the shaft (9) with clamping of the ankle joint. A second strap may also be provided.
