Abstract
Ski boot whose upper consists of a variable-volume plastic shell ( ) provided with at least one tightening device ( ). The outer side (A) of the shell has zones (A′, A″) which are of substantially lower rigidity than the rest of the shell and lie on either side of a stronger band ( ) which extends obliquely from the heel to the front end of the shell and bears one of the parts of the tightening device. The effect of said band is to keep the foot bearing against the inner side of the shell, and thus to improve edge setting.
