Ski boot comprising a shell () surrounding the foot and an upper cuff () articulated to the shell, comprising a device for fastening and unfastening the upper cuff relative to the shell, this device being connected to a fastening and unfastening member by a cable (), this fastening and unfastening device being in a first, fastened, configuration when the fastening and unfastening member is in a first position in which the upper cuff is kept in a predefined inclined position relative to the shell, and in a second, unfastened, configuration when the fastening and unfastening member is in a second position in which the upper cuff is able to move relative to the shell so that it can be stood up straight, wherein the connection between the cable () and the boot fastening and unfastening member is such that moving the fastening and unfastening member from the first to the second position introduces tension into the cable, this cable being directly connected to a control element () able to change the configuration of the upper cuff fastening and unfastening device by action on a cam surface ().

Sports boot with articulated upper cuff to provide a position for walking

Metal accessory for a sports shoe of the buckle type, comprising a decoration and/or gripping zone () on its upper surface (), wherein this decoration and/or gripping zone () comprises reliefs formed by the intersection of at least two non-parallel series of grooves.

Method of manufacturing metal accessory for a sports shoe

The sports boot has, on the one hand a first part () in a first material and a second part () superposed on said first part and in a second material, and, on the other hand, reinforcement means (). The reinforcement means are at least partly formed by at least one frame () in synthetic material reinforced with mineral or synthetic fibers and positioned at least partially between said parts.

Sports boot for a board for gliding

A retention and release mechanism and ski boot for mitigating injury to a skier when the rearward loads, potentially injurious to the user, are imparted to the boot. The mechanism includes a first linkage having an end coupled to a first rigid boot portion, and a second linkage coupled to the first linkage through a pin disposed in a slot in the first linkage. The mechanism provides stable orientation of the first portion to the second portion in a &ldquo;ski&rdquo; position, and allows rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a &ldquo;release&rdquo; position, the &ldquo;release&rdquo; position being established upon imposition of a predetermined level of rearward force on the boot.

Retention and release mechanism for a ski boot and ski boot incorporating the same

A retention and release mechanism and ski boot for mitigating injury to a skier when the rearward loads, potentially injurious to the user, are imparted to the boot. The mechanism includes a first linkage arm, a latch, and a second linkage arm. The latch is connected to a first end of the first linkage arm, and is configured for direct or indirect pivotal connection to a first portion of the boot (e.g., an upper portion), which is pivotally connected to a second portion of the boot (e.g., a lower portion). The second linkage arm is pivotally connected to a second end of the first linkage arm at a pivot point, and is configured for pivotal connection to the second portion of the boot. The mechanism provides stable orientation of the first portion to the second portion in a &ldquo;ski&rdquo; position, and allows rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a &ldquo;release&rdquo; position, the &ldquo;release&rdquo; position being established upon imposition of a predetermined level of rearward force on the boot. A tension adjustment assembly allows for adjustment of the predetermined level of rearward force. The latch may be releasable from the boot to allow rotation of the first and second boot portions relative to each other for facilitating a relatively normal waking motion.
