Abstract
A boot shell (10) has a part (46) which overlaps the forefoot, in which there is a longitudinal opening (48) in the instep region of the foot. This opening is spanned twice by a cable (54) in a meander-shaped arrangement in the transverse direction. The cable (54) is anchored on the boot shell (10) by means of its one end (58) in the region of the toe (38) of the boot and furthermore guided via deflection elements (60, 62). The cable (54) is a component of a BOWDEN pull-wire (56) and ends with its other end in a tensioning device (18) which is arranged on the rear shaft part (12). By means of a rotary knob (16) of the tensioning device (18), the front part of the boot shell (10) can be optimally adapted to the foot of the wearer by drawing together the region (46) which overlaps the forefoot.
