Abstract
An improved boot for sportswear, such as a custom fitted ski boot with a substantially rigid outer shell, wherein the top instep portion is offset from the lower vamp section. An apertured pleat member interconnects the offset portions. The offset instep-vamp relationship along with the apertured pleat member serves to transmit normally occurring compressive forces through a bending moment at the location of the apertured pleat member to substantially minimize bowing of the boot shell.
