Abstract
Rigid shell ski boot (1) comprising a quick-tightening, quick-release foot-retaining system operable by means of a lever (9) that is angularly pivotable about an axis of articulation (15) into two extreme positions that correspond to tightening and release, respectively. The lever (9) controls an assembly composed of a threaded sleeve (6) and a nut (7) joined to an element (8) for support of a skier's foot through a movable cam (10) that forms part of the lever (9). The relative position of the cam (10), which is a function of the angular position of the lever (9), determines the position of the sleeve-nut (6, 7) assembly and either grips or release the foot.
