Abstract
Sport boot incorporating a shell base (1) surmounted by an upper (2) adjustable on the wearer's lower leg and comprising an immobilization device (4) functioning in and in relation to the upper (2). The immobilization device (4) comprises a rotating shim (6) on a pin (7), this shim extending on the inner wall (16) of the upper (2) and in proximity to the upper edge (12) thereof. The shim (6) is provided with a projection (8) which, depending on the angular position thereof, retracts into a recess (14) in the upper (2) or protrudes onto the wall (16) of the latter. The immobilization device (4) makes possible the effective adaptation of the upper (2) to the morphology of the wearer's lower leg.
