A ski boot is here disclosed as having a sole and a leg sheath. The sheath has a forwardly inclined axis and the boot being comprised of a relatively rigid material. A boot heel is mounted on said sole and has upper and lower heel parts. A lower heel part socket is positioned forwardly of said heel and is shaped to receive the lower heel part. A hinge connects the upper and lower heel parts in hinged assembly together with the lower heel part being operable to function to provide a support for the upper heel part when the ski boot is in a first standing position and with the upper heel part then being in overlying relation to the lower heel part. The lower heel part is swingable on the hinge to a position to one side of said lower heel part and into said socket, thus exposing the upper heel part, thus enabling the wearer to walk more comfortably. The upper heel part is so sized with respect to the sole and the lower heel part to enable it to then function to engage ground when the boot is in a second more upright standing position whereby the inclined axis of the leg sheath is moved so that the boot wearer can walk with a more upright posture.
