Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a rear-entry ski boot with a closure and flexibility adjustment device which includes a shell (1) to which a rear quarter (2) and a front quarter (3), mutually closeable on each other, are pivotably coupled. The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that it includes closure elements for the mutual tightening of the quarters adapted to act, at the same time, as flexibility adjusters. The closure elements consist of a lever (4) supported by the rear quarter (2) and acting on a cable (6) which embraces the front quarter (3), with the interposition of a device for adjusting the useful length of the cable (6). The cable (6) is removably accommodatable in notches (21) provided transversely with respect to a slot (20) defined at the front top edge of the front quarter (3) and extending longitudinally on the front quarter (3).
