Abstract (en)

The ski boot includes a rear quarter (103) and a front quarter (104) articulated to a shell (102). Stop members (107) for stopping the backward tilting of the front quarter are formed at lateral wings (105) of the shell. It is thus possible to achieve optimum rear support while freeing the foot instep region and thus increasing the comfort of the boot. <IMAGE>
