Gliding boot () including a lower shell () and a collar (), the lower shell () being intended to receive a user's foot, the collar () being intended to envelop a lower leg of the user, the collar being articulated in rotation about the lower shell, the gliding boot further including an upwardly extending tongue () to the rear of the gliding boot and an elastic means (), a first end of the tongue being fastened to the lower shell (), and a second end of the tongue () being connected to the collar () via the elastic means ().

Lower shell for a gliding boot

Sports boot element of which the wall includes at least two different plastics materials (), the wall having (i) a first zone () including the two different plastics materials within its thickness, the first plastics material () forming two layers of the wall constituting the internal and external faces of the said wall, and the second plastics material () being interposed between the two layers of the first plastics material (15), and (ii) a second zone () including only the second plastics material ().

Co-injection moulded sports boot

Cross-country ski boot sole

A sports boot including an upper and a shell base having a rear portion that encircles the ankle and a frontal portion closed by transverse flaps that surround the front foot area. The flaps are equipped with instep tongues that extend in the longitudinal direction of the boot. These tongues are each connected by a sliding connecting element to the contiguous flank of the rear portion of shell base. The connecting element guarantees the constant maintenance of the tongue with respect to the contiguous flank while still allowing substantial freedom of clearance from the instep zone.

Boot having closure flaps with an instep tongue

A sport boot with an upper which closes by tightening devices for maintaining it on the lower part of the wearer's leg includes a device for adjusting a portion of its contour adapted to modify the envelopment perimeter of the upper, independently of the tightening devices. The adjustment device has a linkage element having a rigidity at least equivalent to that of the wall of the upper, which is fixed rigidly and only on both sides of a scallop to block reciprocally the edges of the latter and to ensure continuity of the upper edge of the upper, a fixing device being provided to be adjustable to vary the spacing of the scallop edges whose lower portion is located toward the base of the upper in the zone corresponding to the transition zone between the lower part of the leg and the ankle of the wearer of the boot.
