Abstract

A ski boot comprising a shell (1), a movable toe cap (2) and a shaft (3), having a recess (5) in the pivoting area of the toe cap (2), which is closed off by a cover (6) of the toe cap (2). The cover (6) grips under the instep area of the shell (1) and is, viewed in the longitudinal cross section of the ski boot, spherically curved with a radius corresponding to the distance from the imaginary pivot axis of the toe cap (2). At the free edge of the cover (6) and also of the recess (5) on the instep side, there are provided raised beads (7, 8) directed against one another with hooklike formed undercuts, which form-lockingly engage one another in the flat position of the sole (4) and the toe cap (2). A tongue (9) of the cover (6) being in the longitudinal center of the ski boot, is associated with a lock (10, 10') guided transversely with respect to the tongue, which lock as a variable stop releases, limits or prevents a clearance for movement of the toe cap (2). The lock (10, 10') is moved by a Bowden wire (14) against the spring force (15), whereby an operating lever (17, 22, 22') is provided, which additionally fixes the shaft (3) with respect to the shell (1) in the forward position. The locking of the toe cap (2) is done advantageously by a pulling action onto the Bowden wire (14), which is released during unlocking relative to the operating lever (17, 22, 22').
