Abstract
The control column is attached around a transverse axle on the upper of a shoe, preferably a sports shoe having a high upper. The axle pivoting in the control column has a cam pivoting in the upper. Complementary elements held by the control column and the upper cooperate to lock in position the control column in relation to the upper in a determined position of the cam and the opposite to free the control column to rotate to a position opposite the cam. The cam, axle ensemble can be manually rotated by the wearer of the shoe. Several successive locking positions allow a progressive adjustment of the control column for optimal support of the lower leg of the wearer of the shoe.
