Abstract (en)

A snowboard boot (21) comprises a sole (22); an upper portion having lateral side surfaces defining a heel part (24), a toe part (23) and a leg part (25) extending from the heel part (24); and a heel cup (1) mounted to the heel part (24) and extending toward the front of the boot to a location beyond a central portion of the boot. The heel cup (1) is formed from a material which is more rigid and harder than the lateral side surfaces of the upper portion adjacent to the heel cup, in order to provide stability in the side regions. <IMAGE>
