| (54) | SKI BOOT SYSTEM |
| (57) There is disclosed a ski boot system (5). One embodiment includes right and left
side portions (25, 30) formed by a longitudinal split (20) with a hinged connection
(35) therebetween. The open configuration (40) allows placement of an inner liner
(15) into the shell (10). The closed configuration (45) restricts removal of the liner
(15) from the shell (10). A selectively fastenable connector (55) and/or a selectively
locking sheath extend between the right and left side portions (25, 30). The selectively
fastenable connector (55) and/or the selectively locking sheath permit selective positioning
of the shell (10) between open and closed configurations (40, 45). The liner (15)
of a ski boot includes a wall of material (95) defining inner and outer surfaces (100,
105). The outer surface (105) defines an exterior (110) having dimensions sized to
compressively fit within the shell (10). The inner surface (100) defines an interior
(115) having dimensions sized to receive a foot. Other embodiments are disclosed.
