Abstract
A rear-entry ski boot having a rigid shell and an upper constituted by a front cuff and a rear spoiler, and system for fastening and adjusting the boot on the lower leg of the skier. The upper includes a central sleeve journalled on the shell base and having a front opening and a rear opening defined by the two lateral walls of the upper part; a rear spoiler journalled on the sleeve and adapted to close the rear opening of the sleeve; and a front cuff journalled on a lower front zone of the sleeve and adapted to close the front opening of the sleeve. With the construction of the ski boot, the upper is made adjustable to more effectively support the skier's lower leg. Various latching mechanisms and locking mechanisms are also provided.
