Abstract
On the shaft (14) of the ski boot (12), a spindle (40) is mounted in the heel area (10). The spindle runs parallel to the sole (16) and at right angles to the longitudinal direction (B) of the boot. On the spindle (40), two opposite-running threads (38, 38') are formed, on each of which a support member (32) is located. By means of rotation of the spindle (40) from outside the ski boot (12), the support members (32) are moved towards or away from one another. This relative movement of the support members (32) is transformed, via inclined surfaces (30) on support ribs (26) of the foot-bed (22), into a movement of the foot-bed (22) in the direction of the arrow (A). By means of an asymmetrical arrangement of the two support members (32) in relation to the longitudinal center plane of the boot, a transverse inclination of the foot-bed (22) can be set.
