ABSTRACT:
A ski boot made different functional parts comprises a hard shell for taking up the foot and a cuff for gripping the lower leg of a skier. The hard shell and the cuff are connected together by lever bands which reinforce the lateral sides of the cuff. The lever bands are hinged at the hard shell at pivot points arranged at both sides of the hard shell. Furthermore the lever bands are rigidly connected to two free ends of an U-shaped part pivoting together with the lever bands. The U-shaped part surrounds the rear of the ski boot. At least one piston is rigidly connected with the rear part of the U-shaped part. Each piston slides in at least one cylindrical receptacle and compresses at least one elastic compression element in the cylindrical receptacle. Such receptacle is connected to the hard shell by at least one intermediate means so that the receptacle is able to be flexed together with the cuff. The elastic compression element is designed to limit forward pivoting movement of the cuff in relation to the hard shell to 40.degree./45.degree..
