Abstract
A sport boot having an external upper for protection against external damage, an assembly insole and an outer sole, and comprising an internal tightening system comprising two tightening quarters each having a lower end and being attached to said external upper only by that lower end. Internal lacing is arranged in the instep area. The external upper has a closed structure and with an opening only at its upper end and comprises external lacing for tightening the upper on the foot. The internal tightening system is substantially independent of the upper, a tongue element being provided beneath, but without physical connection to, the internal tightening system, and being attached to the upper at the front end of the boot and at a distance from the internal tightening quarters, so as to enable the tongue element to act as a lever for loosening the internal lacing.
