ABSTRACT:
A ski boot includes a two-part outer shell with a foot part and a shank part pivotally connected with the foot part. An inner boot is received in the two-part outer shell. The shank part pivots between a relaxed position and a latching downhill position, in which it may be locked by a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism includes an actuating device for releasing the shank part from the locked latching downhill position. A first tensioning system disposed in the outer shell retains the inner boot in the outer shell and it is released when the shank part is in the relaxed position. A second tensioning system disposed in the outer shell holds the inner boot downward against the sole of the outer shell when the shank part is locked in the latching downhill position. A rear flap is pivotally connected at the heel of the foot part, such that the inner boot can be inserted into the outer shell when the rear flap is opened.
