ABSTRACT:
The ski boot essentially consists of a lower part (1), in the form of a shell with a variable volume, and a boot leg, in the form of a collar (2). The collar (2) is articulated on the shell. The shell has two tightening buckles (4, 5) and the collar (2) has a closure and tightening buckle (6) located just below its upper end. The collar (2) has a lower-leg belt (10) surrounding the shell above the point of articulation (3) of the collar (2) on the shell. The lower-leg belt (10) has a closure and tightening buckle (11). When buckle (11) is closed and tightened, the buckle's tightening direction (F) passes above the point of articulation (3) in a slightly inclined direction towards the rear of the boot. The lower-leg belt (10) may consist of a material which is stiffer than the collar (2). The lower-leg belt (10) improves how the ski boot holds the lower leg without having to increase the apparent stiffness of the collar and without reducing the possibility of forward flexing of the collar by the lower leg.
