Abstract
A ski boot comprising an upper (44) jointed (5) to the shell base (6) and a stiffness-adjustment device (12) which incorporates two support elements (13, 14) connected by a connection member (15) and is associated with a rear support stop (10) incorporated into the upper (44). One (13) of the support elements (13, 14) of the stiffness-adjustment device (12) is rigidly linked to the rear support stop (10) on a common axis of rotation (16) in order to form a rotating assembly (10-13), and the element (13) and the stop (10) are both moved out of center on the same side and by the same value in relation to the axis of rotation (16). The invention makes it possible to adjust the angle of forward motion of the upper (44) without affecting the forward motion-adjustment device (12) by simple rotation of the rotating assembly (10-13).
