Abstract
An alpine ski boot having includes a shell base and an upper journalled at least in one part on the shell base. Between the upper and the shell base a support is provided, itself being journalled on the shell base about a generally horizontal and transverse axis. The upper is journalled on the support about an axis separate from the aforementioned axis. Further, the boot includes a latching device to immobilize the support and, consequently, the journal axis of the upper on the support in a first upper position for skiing and to free the support, during removal, so as to permit a pivoting of the support with respect to the base, about its axis, towards a second lower position, leading to a displacement towards the rear, and possibly downwardly, of the journal axis of the upper on the support.
