Abstract
A sport boot including an upper equipped with an opening to enable passage of the foot, and further including an internal quarter and an external quarter connected with respect to one another by a lace or cable in connection with a blocking device or blocker, along a determined alternate path around return elements arranged on either side of the opening. The ends of the strands forming the lace are rendered integral with two fixed anchoring points obtained in a lower end zone of the lacing located towards the front of the boot, the strands mutually forming a free loop at their opposite end, adapted to constitute a single gripping element to exert a traction along a force distributed symmetrically along each of the strands from both fixed points.
