Abstract
The invention relates to an alpine ski boot provided with a foot retention apparatus which cooperates with at least one movable portion of said ski boot adapted to be applied against the front upper zone of the foot by means of a traction element directed obliquely towards the heel of the boot. The boot is characterized in that it comprises an adjustment means for adjusting the obliqueness of the linkage with respect to the movable portion of the boot in correspondence with the front upper zone of the foot. This adjustment means has a plurality of conduits for guiding linkage 12 defining, respectively, a different obliqueness than the linkage, itself causing a different direction of the resultant F of the pressure forces exerted on the foot.
