A ski boot which can improve the insertion and removal of a skier's foot, provide an excellent fastening feeling by fastening members, enhance the durability of a connecting portion between a cover member and a shell main body, and eliminate the possibility of water leakage. A slit is formed in the upper portion of separated & overlapping portions of a shell main body separated right and left and extending from an upper opening to an instep area of the shell main body. The slit and separated & overlapping portions are covered with a cover member from the toe portion of the shell main body to the upper opening thereof. A plurality of fastening members are used to fasten a trunk portion to be inclinably mounted to the shell main body as well as fasten the separated & overlapping portions. The fastening members for fastening the separated & overlapping portions of the shell main body are mounted directly to the shell main body and the cover member is connected to the shell main body before and after the fore-most fastening member situated on the toe side among the fastening members mounted to the shell main body.

Ski boot with overlapping instep portions

The present invention relates to ski boots provided with a foot holding mechanism for pressing to fix the fore part of a foot instep, wherein when an adjusting bolt is turned externally to apply a tensile force to pressing bands, a rocking member is rocked in the axis direction of the pressing bands depending on various foot shapes, thereby applying almost equal tensile force to the pressing bands in a plural number so as to press the fore part of the foot instep evenly.
