Abstract
An alpine ski boot having a shell base on which is journalled at least partially an upper constituted of at least one rear spoiler and a front cuff, the rear spoiler being journalled with respect to the shell base about a transverse axis and including a tensioning lever acting in traction on at least one flexible and inextensible link inserted between a front mobile portion of the boot to be controlled during tightening on a portion of the lower part of the leg or foot and the lever, such lever acting also on an element for reclaiming rear support of the upper on shell base wherein the element for reclaiming rear support is constituted by at least one second flexible and inextensible link, distinct from the first, inserted between the same tensioning lever and a fixed portion of the shell base, such that the latching action of the tensioning lever causes, by a simultaneous traction on the two links, both tightening control of the front mobile portion of the boot so as to fulfill a first function, and the reclaiming of rear support of the upper on the shell base, without an intermediate element, so as to fulfill a second function.
