Abstract
A skiboot has a one-piece vamp secured to the sole of the boot and having a closed toe portion and an upwardly and backwardly opened heel portion. A one-piece forwardly U-shaped rear upper part is pivoted on the vamp at the heel portion thereof and has flaps which lie ahead of the pivots. A tongue is secured to and extends upwardly from the vamp inside the rear upper part between the flaps thereof and has above these flaps a forwardly projecting shoulder. A closure is carried on these flaps for securing them together in front of the tongue underneath the shoulder. The rear part is pivoted back for putting on or taking off the boot, but in use is pivoted forwardly and held in place under the shoulder of the tongue with the closure of the boot tightening the rear part about the ankle of the user.
