The present invention comprises a ski boot closure for rear-entry ski boots. In this closure mechanism a latch mechanism having a lever, which is movable between open and closed positions, operates a cable system having height and length varying strands. The cable system originates in the latch mechanism and passes around either side the calf cuff of the boot to become secured to the shin cuff. The boot is opened as an adjustment of the latch mechanism lengthens the cable strands surrounding the calf cuff. Conversely, the boot as closed as an adjustment of the latch mechanism shortens the cable strands surrounding the calf cuff thus causing the calf and shin cuffs of the boot to be moved into frictional engagement.
