ABSTRACT:
A comfort liner for a ski boat provided with a wedging element made of foam having thermoplastic qualities rendering it adapted to be adjusted and/or adapted, after being heated at its thermoforming temperature, to the specific volume of the foot of the skier, and a ski boot incorporating such liner. The liner in its entirety is preformed to an initial foot fitting volume corresponding to the standard of a given size, and its wedging element, constituted by a foam formed from at least one thermoplastic material, is thermocompressed and micro-perforated. The micro-perforations confer to the wedging element a certain flexibility and elastic compressibility, as well as a certain permeability rendering it sufficiently comfortable to be used as such for skiing, and adapted to be easily thermoformed by reheating, by virtue of the rapid and in-depth diffusion of the heat across the micro-perforations.
