Abstract
A boot having a shell base with an upper extending thereabove, the upper being pivotal in the front-to-rear and rear-to-front directions. The boot includes an immobilization device located on the upper which is adapted to cooperate with two abutment zones that are provided on the shell base. This device has a manoeuvering member equipped with a rotational cam and two mobile elements, each element being adapted to cooperate with one of the two abutment zones. The device enables the bending capacity of the upper to be modified in at least one direction, depending on the use envisioned for the boot at any given moment.
