Abstract
A boot, particularly a ski boot, is provided with device for retaining the foot against both lateral and vertical movement. The device comprises a generally V-shaped support element having two deformable side plates which can be adjusted for gripping movement toward and away from the foot. The plates have a shape generally corresponding to that of the top of the forefoot, and thus distribute the gripping stresses over the entire surface of the top of the foot, obviating painful pressure spots. The means for adjusting the position of the side plates is controlled from the exterior of the boot. A rapid tightening-untightening arrangement can also be incorporated into the boot according to the invention.
