Abstract
A ski boot composed of at least one quarter, articulated to a shell, and having, at the rear region adjacent to its own upper perimetric edge, a seat for a flap. The device includes a eccentric lever which is preferably pivoted transversely to at least one pair of wings which protrude laterally to the quarter. The eccentric lever naturally interacts with the flap and allows it to keep at least two operative positions: an inclined one for skiing, when the lever is closed, and a rearward one for walking or for adapting to the calf of the skier's leg when the lever is open.
