Abstract
Abstract Covering element or tongue for rock-climbing, mountain skying and similar ort boots comprising a single, shaped laminar element divided into first and second parts, an end of one part being relatively slidable or longitudinally moveable with respect to an opposite end of the other part to impart an improved flexibility to the covering element or tongue. In a preferred embodiment, the end of one part is connected to an opposite end of the other part by hinge structure formed by a partly notched intermediate zone of the covering element and so that one end region of one part is superimposed over an end region of the other part.
