Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9732496A1] A snowboarding boot with a flexible upper is disclosed. The boot includes a flexible upper portion (2) and a rigid reinforcing frame (3) that includes a lower reinforcing portion (30) surrounding at least the heel, and a rear reinforcing portion (31) surrounding the lower end of the calf. The two portions (30, 31) are linked via a narrow connecting portion (32) with a stiffening means (33) provided on the external side (EXT) thereof for stiffening said portion (32) only when said rear reinforcing portion (31) is tilted sideways on the external side (EXT) of the boot (1). Therefore, the comfort of the boot remains the same while essential force transmission is ensured by a frame providing flexibility on the internal side and support on the external side.
