Abstract
An alpine ski boot has a flexible upper and a sole permitting the flexing of the foot during walking. The boot comprises essentially a flexible upper (1), an intermediate sole (2) having rigid extremities (7, 8) extending beyond the upper at the front and at the rear and of a form which enables holding by holding elements of a standard ski binding, and a flexible sole (3) preferably of rubber. The intermediate sole is, preferably, made of a semi-rigid plastic, providing a flexible zone or a joint.
