Abstract
A shell, particularly for sports shoes such as ice skates or roller skates or trekking boots. The shell includes a single body that has a first flap and a second flap, at least one of which is arranged transversely to the foot instep. A single fastening device can be arranged between the first and second flaps. The first and second flaps are connected along two directrices that are oblique with respect to the toe and heel regions. This configuration allows to reduce the number of shell closure levers, nonetheless ensuring optimum securing of the foot inside the shell.
