<p>A snowboard boot includes a toe portion (2), a heel portion (3) and a leg portion (4). The heel portion (3) and the leg portion (4) are coupled so that the leg portion (4) is capable of inclination in a longitudinal direction relative to the heel portion (3), and/or the heel portion (3) and the leg portion (4) are coupled so that the leg portion (4) is capable of inclination in a lateral direction relative to the heel portion (3). In a more specific embodiment, a rigid heel overlap member (7) is coupled to the heel portion (3), and a rigid leg overlap member (8) is coupled to the leg portion (4). The heel overlap member (7) and the leg overlap member (8) overlap in a longitudinal direction. The heel overlap member (7) and the leg overlap member (8) are capable of relative movement in a vertical direction and/or rotation around a longitudinal axis (a). If desired, the heel overlap member (7) and the leg overlap member (8) may interface through an arcuate or approximately spherical surface (S) to facilitate relative movement in the desired directions. A position fixing (9) means may be provided for fixing the vertical and/or rotational position of the leg overlap member (8) relative to the heel overlap member (7). <IMAGE></p> |
