Abstract
A ski boot having a flexion zone and a bottom portion which is adapted to hold a boot therein. The boot includes a holding device for producing a force for holding the foot at the bottom of the boot. The boot also includes a distribution device for distributing the force over the foot. The distribution device includes at least two flexible and elastic overlapping portions. These overlapping portions extend over the flexion zone of the boot and the foot, as does the holding device. In one embodiment the overlapping portions are petal-shaped so as to better conform to the shape of the flexion zone of the foot. As a result of this structure, the distribution device can be adapted to conform to all morphologies of the foot.
