The rear part of the quarter is pivoted to the boot shell, and the quarter front part may be pivoted to the rear part, being guided by a cam arranged to slide over a stud which is rigidly attached to the shell and may be rotatably adjusted, the rotation of the rear part of the quarter, additionally to closing onto the front part, also moving a cuff-line member which closes the skier's foot instep.
