Abstract
A sports shoe, in particular a ski boot, which has a sole and an upper part formed of plastic and which has two pressure-distributing plates arranged on the outside of the upper part in the front instep area, which plates extend from the toe area of the shoe over the instep area and, bent upwardly, along the front side of the shaft of the shoe, and which are supported in the fore-foot part of the upper part for movement in a longitudinal direction of the shoe relative to the upper part and in transverse direction of the shoe, and overlap one another in the closed state of the shoe. At least one of the pressure-distributing plates is mounted in the instep area with one or several hinges on the upper part of the shoe, which hinges enable a swinging movement of this pressure-distributing plate away from the other pressure-distributing plate for opening wide the instep area.
