Abstract

Flexible sports boot including a closing system, provided with a device for memorizing its tightening tension, including an opening and closing system by lacing comprising a link forming a closed circuit integrating tightening and latching device and connecting to each other, along a predetermined path, a series of return elements located in a fixed manner on either side of the quarters of upper, wherein the opening and closing system of the upper includes, in addition, a progressive adjustment device for relocating an optimum reference tightening tension of link, during its latching command, the adjustment device being independent of the tightening and latching device so as to enable the memorizing of the reference tightening tension, the tightening being undertaken only by the tightening and latching device, which can be rendered detachable from a fixed complementary gripping portions obtained on upper, so as to obtain a greater unlacing amplitude of link during opening, without affecting the adjustment of its memorized reference tension.
