Abstract
A sport boot with an upper and a shell base journalled on axles has at least one reinforcement element of the shell base. The reinforcement element has an abutment zone capable of cooperating with a retractable support element which, fixedly positioned on the upper, makes it possible to block the upper in its pivoting about axles as early as its initial position or after a certain bending, and to thus transmit the forces of the upper to the shell base.
