Abstract
A skate boot comprises a lower, upper and an intermediate portion between the lower and the upper. The lower includes a sole, toe and heel portions made of a molded unitary rigid plastics material. The intermediate portion is connected to the lower and includes ankle and Achilles tendon portions of the boot and is made of a relatively flexible material. The upper including the eyelet bands and the upper tendon guard are made of a pliable material. The construction allows forward flexure and torsional flexibility in the ankle area, foot forming moldability in the upper area of the boot and impact resistant rigidity in the lower.
