<p>A sports boot comprising a liner with a liner tongue disposed within a shell having a shell tongue, upper, and sole, and a tensioning system with a lace and lace lock. The tensioning system lace is mounted internal to the shell tongue and external to the liner tongue, and the lace lock is coupled to the lace, and optionally to the inner surface of the shell tongue via a mount. In operation, the shell tongue and liner are spaced apart until the lace is pulled through guides on the liner and shell tongue, which causes the liner to be pulled tightly against the user's ankle, and the shell tongue to be pulled towards the liner tongue. The lace lock is coupled to the free ends of the lace and is adapted to hold the lace substantially at the applied tension.</p> |
