Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2417667A] An article of footwear, particularly a ski boot includes a substantially rigid sole part 2 and two substantially rigid lateral side supports 3 which extend upwardly from said sole part so as to provide lateral support to the sides of the leg of the wearer. A heel supporting element serves to locate the rear of the heel of a wearer, with first strap means 12, 13 to secure the foot to the sole, and second strap means 14, 37 to secure the leg to the side supports 3 adjacent the upper end thereof. The side supports 3 are integrally formed with the sole part 2 from pressed aluminium sheet and are substantially open at the rear and/or substantially open at the front to facilitate longitudinal movement of the leg relative to the foot by extension and flexion of the ankle joint. The straps may be adjustably mounted (see figures 3 to 4b) so that one boot size may accommodate feet covering at least two shoe sizes in width and length. The footwear may also be utilized for other types of activity such as skating, rollerblading and climbing.
