Abstract
A rear-entry type ski boot having an upper including a front cuff and a rear spoiler. The upper is at least partially journalled on a rigid shell base for latching the cuff and spoiler around the leg of the skier. Also provided is means for automatically closing the spoiler in response to forward flexion of the cuff. This closing means includes an elastic system for biasing the spoiler toward the cuff, a retention means for selectively blocking the spoiler from closing on the cuff under the influence of the elastic system, and relay means for relaying the forward flexion of the cuff to the retention means. When the foot of the skier flexes forward, the relay means moves the retention means out of its blocking position so that the spoiler can freely move forward to close on the cuff under the influence of the elastic system.
