Abstract
A ski shoe comprising a shell (1) and a movably hinged shaft 2 of the shoe wherein the shell is formed of an elastic material and has a raised shell part (3) around which the shaft 2 of the shoe extends. The raised shell part (3) carries above the heel a vertical slot (4), which is upwardly open. The shaft 2 of the shoe presses when in a forward position onto the raised shell part (3) so that the slot (4) closes. A spacer (7) is movable in the slot (4) by an adjusting device and depending on its position acts against the closing movement of the slot (4) and thus the forward movement of the shaft 2 of the shoe. For adjustment in a slotted hole, the spacer (7) is supported on one arm (9) of a two-arm bent lever (10) and the other arm (13) of which carries a nut (14), which moves on an axially nonmovable spindle (15). The spindle (15) can be rotated, for example, with a key, which causes the bent lever (10) to carry out a pivoting movement and the spacer (7) to move in the slot (4). The adjusting device is arranged in the gap between the shaft 2 of the shoe and the shell (1) and is connected fixedly, for example, to the shaft 2 of the shoe (as seen in FIG. 3).
