Abstract
A ski boot composed of a shell inside which one or more pressers are provided and with which a front quarter and a rear quarter are associated. The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that it comprises a lever body which is pivoted to the front quarter or to the rear quarter and has independently activatable adjustment and/or securing devices for the front and rear quarters and for the pressers which are arranged inside the shell. It is therefore possible to act directly on one of the devices, for example to vary its adjustment, without affecting the other device, regardless of the activation of non-activation thereof.
