Abstract
A ski boot comprises a rigid shell base on which an upper is adapted to be journalled. The upper comprises a rear spoiler and a front cuff, and the lower edge of the cuff is adapted to cooperate with the upper surface of the shell base via a flexion element. The flexion element is mounted substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the boot, and is continuously in support with the lower edge of the cuff, or is formed integrally with the lower edge of the cuff. The support is provided substantially along the longitudinal axis of the boot, i.e., along a central portion of the lower edge of the cuff. The use of this type of flexion element makes it possible to ensure, for expert or skillful skiers, that the upper will flex perfectly about the axis of the boot.
