ABSTRACT:
A flexible ski boot includes a divided rigid sole and a flexible hard boot body, the sole being divided into a rigid thick toe portion and a rigid thick heel portion. The boot body is composed of a hard toe portion, a soft flexible connecting portion and a hard heel portion which is, respectively, united or joined with the divided rigid sole. The divided rigid sole is connected, respectively, through a hinge between the toe portion and the heel portion so that the rigid ski boot can be bent at the soft elastic portion of the boot body for easier walking. The toe portion of the sole includes inwardly an elastic locking mechanism to lock elastically the hinge between the heel portion and permits the sole to be maintained evenly and to hold a suitable slouch during a descent, when the flexible ski boot is set into a binding, for safe skiing. The rear end of the sole is cut out diagonally as an additional aid for easier walking. The inside of the flexible ski boot is coated with a soft plastic layer for water-proof, dust-proof, etc.
