Abstract
Ski boot having an articulated shank comprising means for fixing or releasing the shank for rotation, means for adjusting the inclination of the shank and an elastic element (15), the elasticity of which is adjustable. The adjustable inclination is achieved by means of a shank in two parts, the length of which is adjustable by means of a button (12). The locking or the release for rotation is obtained by means of a sliding locking member (24) interacting with a V-shaped bolt (16) itself interacting with cut-outs (19) in a cradle fixed to the shank (2). The elasticity of the elastic element (15) is ensured by the displacement of a sliding rigid sleeve (19) around the elastic element (15), which displacement is controlled by a button (32).
