Abstract
A ski boot, preferably of the rear-entry type, including an upper portion selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A control element, such as a cable, is included which can be associated with an arrangement for maintaining the foot or lower leg relatively fixed within the boot, or an arrangement for modifying the flexion of the boot. An arrangement is provided for tensioning the control element, in response to movement of an upper portion of the boot toward a closed position, which is mechanically independent of an arrangement for maintaining the tension in the control element.
