ABSTRACT:
A ski boot includes a foot portion and a leg portion extending upwardly along the calf of the leg from the foot portion and being pivotally connected to the foot portion for movement about a generally horizontal axis extending transversely of the boot. The pivotal connection of the leg portion to the foot portion is selectively adjustable to allow vertical sliding movement of the leg portion relative to the foot portion whereby the leg portion can be inclined laterally relative to the foot portion. A connection unit interconnecting the foot portion to the leg portion along a rear portion of the boot includes double acting resilient means for cushioning both forward and rearward pivotal movement of the leg portion relative to the foot portion. The connection unit is connected to the boot by quick release means whereby the unit can be quickly removed allowing free pivotal movement of the leg portion relative to the foot portion if desired. An insulated sock member adapted to be slipped over the foot of the user is removably insertable into the boot and includes a core layer of a soft, resilient, permeable material which cushions the user's foot and lower leg from the relatively rigid boot, insulates the foot and lower leg of the user from cold ambient temperatures, and also provides ventillation for removing water vapor.
