Abstract
Cross-country ski boot, in particular for performance of the skating step and produced from an outer sole, on a front part of which the ski is attached, and comprising a lower upper fitted with a heel counter on which is jointed a rigid collar designed to enclose the lower part of the leg and which extends from the joint to the top of the upper beyond its upper end. The boot comprises an elastic device for the longitudinal angular control of the ski in the air in relation to the sole of the boot, during the return phase of the ski. The device may be a strap made of an elastic fabric, which connects the collar to the upper so as to cause an automatic return movement of the upper toward the collar, and, in consequence, the automatic lifting of the front part of the ski when the ski is not in a forward-propulsion phase.
