Abstract
The sport boot has a relatively rigid collar surmounting an upper and whose rearward pivoting motion is restricted. A damping support zone matches up with the rear part of the wearer's lower leg and has gradually-increasing flexibility by virtue of the combined use of a flexible vertical tongue and elastic padding on a portion of the rear upper edge of the collar.
