Abstract
The shoe is of the type constituted by a shell base adapted to receive the foot of the user and a upper-collar in two portions journaled on the shell base, and including elements for mutually bringing together and latching the two portions of the upper in the tightening position around the lower leg. The invention includes elements for supporting a portion of the upper with respect to the shell base, elements associated with the portion of the upper and controlling the relative displacement between the portion of the upper and the shell base, second element associated with the second portion of the upper and controlling the relative displacement of the portion of the upper with respect to the other portion of the upper, and the tightening and latching of the second element and the support of the portion with respect to the shell base are subjected to the tightening and latching of the element, in a manner as to preserve a substantially constant angle of inclination of the axis of the upper-collar whatever the size of the leg.
