Abstract
The present invention relates to a ski boot comprising a first component, consisting essentially of a sole and an upper which encloses the foot and the malleolar region, and a second component consisting of a cuff which is articulated with respect to the upper so as to allow the cuff to move from front to rear and vice versa, and means for retaining the cuff which counteract the rearward tilting of the cuff but give way when the force tending to tilt the cuff exceeds a specific value. The retaining means are bistable. They consist of a stop (,) integral with one component of the boot and an elastically deformable part (,), for example a convex leaf, which is integral with the other component of the boot and is intended to be deformed by the stop.
