Abstract
A ski boot with a rigid shell having a foot retention system that is adapted to maintain the forefoot. At least one maintenance element at least partially surrounds the foot by forming a flexible arc between the plantar support zone and the top of the foot. The maintenance element includes at least two flexible elements that straddle a sensitive part of the foot. An activation mechanism adjusts the flexible elements to modify their position against the forefoot.
