Abstract
A sports boot with a rigid shell, having an upper that can be opened along the front and being connected via lateral journals to a shell base and that is blocked in its rearward pivoting by its lower edge that becomes supported along an edge of the shell base. A scalloping in the shape of an inverted 'U' is provided in the lower edge of the upper in the extension of the dorsal zone thereof in order to weaken it at this spot and to reduce the bearing length of its lower edge along the edge of the shell base. At least one removable cam is capable of being actuated within the scalloping in order to stop any rearward elastic deformation of the upper.
