A shoe (1) for the practice of a gliding sport using at least one board, having a capacity for forward flexing and having arrangements intended to interact with a binding, of the type including a flexible boot (2) and a removable flexible inner shoe (4) placed inside the flexible boot (2); a shell (3) placed inside the flexible boot (2), between the boot (2) and the inner shoe (4), and having at least one sole (12) intended to accommodate the sole of the user's foot, and a spoiler (13) intended to fit around the rear of the user's lower leg, up to the height of the bottom of the calf. The sole/spoiler assembly (12, 13) has capacities for inclination of the spoiler (13) toward the front of the sole (12) and a rigidity capable of limiting the rearward inclination of the spoiler (13). The arrangements (34) intended to interact with the binding are fixed on the sole (12) of the shell through the flexible boot (2).
