ABSTRACT:
A substantially saddle-shaped pressure pad or restraining member is disposed in the interior of a shell member enclosing the foot region of a ski boot and between the latter and a padded inner shoe. Two cable runs or strands running along each side of the shell member and interconnected to form a single cable element engage the pressure pad. These cable strands pass through the pivot axis of a rear upper portion at two mutually opposed pivot points of this rear upper portion on the lower forward shell member. A tensioning mechanism is mounted on the rear side of this upper rear portion and comprises a tensioning lever which is pivotable about an axis. By pivoting this tensioning lever, the pressure pad can be tensioned or loosened. Since both cable strands pass through the pivot axis of the rear upper portion, the retaining force governed by the tensioning mechanism and applied to the foot of a wearer by the pressure pad is not affected by a pivoting motion of the rear upper portion.
