Abstract
There is provided a ski boot having two support elements arranged between the shaft and the inner show of the ski boot which overlap the region of the instep in the nature of a saddle. Each support element is engaged by a pulling element which in each case grips across the other support element and is extended to a rotary lock by way of a reversing element. The pulling elements can be wound in the rotary lock so that the inner shoe, within the region of the support elements is painlessly and snugly forced or pressed against the foot. The front end regions of the support elements are supported on a guide element with free displaceability in the lengthwise direction of the boot and transverse thereto. The spacing of the support elements from the boot shaft is adjustable transversely to the boot sole by means of an adjusting member.
