Abstract
Latching apparatus and unlatching means for use with a ski boot of the type having a shell base and an upper. The upper is adapted to open to allow for entry of the foot into said ski boot. The latching apparatus has at least two positions, an open position in which the upper is left to open to allow for entry of the foot, and a closed position in which the upper is closed around the lower portion of the leg. The latching apparatus is associated with the unlatching means whereby the unlatching means allows for opening of the latching apparatus without the skier having to bend down.
