ABSTRACT:
A ski boot minimizes torsional rotation of the foot while permitting bending movement about the ball of the foot. The ski boot includes a toe portion connected to a heel portion by a hinge structure that prohibits torsional movement therebetween. A heel bracket is connected to and pivots with respect to the toe portion independently of the heel portion. The toe portion has a forward tip that may engage a front ski binding, and the heel bracket has a heel member that may engage a rear ski binding. The heel portion may be releasably fastened to the heel bracket for alpine skiing and walking or released for nordic skiing. Hyperextension and hyperflexion limit stops are provided. Extension linkage may be implemented to space the toe and heel portions.
