Abstract
A ski boot includes a pull element coupled to a tensioning device. The tensioning device has two levers located on a bearing shaft that interact with tensioning bodies that guide the pull element. Control elements that interact with the levers are connected to the leg support shaft of the ski boot and are displaceable in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the pivoting position of the shaft. A control path is designed on the levers in a first pivoting range, and the control elements interact with a first section of the control path. Upon pivoting the shaft toward the front in the first pivoting range, the levers pivot toward one another in a scissor-like manner and thus move the two tensioning bodies away from one another to tension the pull element. In a second pivoting range of the shaft, the control elements interact with a second section of the control path that extends to the movement path of the control element. In the second pivoting range, the tension of the pull element is maintained but not increased.
