Abstract
A back support structure for a snowboard boot includes a back support member for supporting a back surface of an ankle and a linking mechanism coupled to the back support member for coupling the back support member to a leg member of the snowboard boot. The linking mechanism includes a first pivot coupling and a second pivot coupling so that the back support member may pivot relative to the leg member around multiple axes to accommodate complex sideways inclinations of the leg.
