Abstract
A sport boot having a shell base with its sole and an upper that is provided with at least one tightening device mounted on a strap to surround the lower part of the skier's leg, on the one hand, and in its rear portion with at least one adjustment arrangement enabling it to adapt to the morphology of the rear zone of the lower part of the leg. The boot upper has a rigid lower element topped and connected by a linking element to a flexible upper element that is provided with at least one strap with its tightening device, and with at least one deformable portion. The deformable portion is located above the element in correspondence with the back zone of the lower element, such that by tightening the strap on the lower part of the leg, such portion presses against the rear zone of the latter by adapting to its morphology.
