Abstract
An alpine ski boot having a shell base provided with an external sole topped by an upper that is provided with a central and/or anterior opening for the passage of the skier's foot and which forms, at its upper portion, a collar adapted to encircle the lower part of the leg with at least one tensioning member positioned on transverse flaps. The boot is composed of two main parts that are constituted, on the one hand, by the shell base having a longitudinal opening at its upper portion and made of a relatively rigid material and, on the other hand, by a single opening-closing element attached and fixed on a periphery of the upper longitudinal opening of the shell base, this element itself having, all in one piece, a first substantially vertical portion forming the upper, and a substantially horizontal second portion obtained in the extension of the first and forming an upper cuff for holding the foot, the assembly thus formed being obtained in a relatively less rigid material than that of the shell base.
