<p>A ski boot comprising a rigid shell which is shaped so as to accommodate the foot of the user, and a rigid cuff which is shaped so as to surround the ankle of the user and is pivotally jointed on the shell so as to be able to rotate about a reference axis locally substantially coincident with the articulation axis of the ankle of the user; the shell being provided with a rear heel which is structured so as to be able to connect/couple in a rigid and stable, though easily releasable, manner to the heel-piece of a ski binding device; the boot being also provided with a cuff locking device which is structured so as to be able to alternatively lock the cuff rigidly to the shell for preventing any pivoting movement of the cuff on the shell, or release the cuff from the shell so as to allow the cuff to pivot freely about said reference axis; the cuff locking device being structured so as to be able to automatically lock the cuff to the shell to prevent any pivoting movement of the cuff on the shell, as a result of connection/coupling of the heel of the boot to the heel-piece of the ski binding device.</p> |
