Abstract
Abstract A skiing boot having a lower shell, which substantially encloses the foot, a gaiter, which is hinged to the lower shell adjacent to the ankle, and a device for adjusting the inclination of the gaiter relative to the lower shell and to exert a force which opposes the forward pivotal movement of the gaiter. Projections or similar holders are respectively provided on the rear portion of the lower shell and on the rear portion of the gaiter, in a manner known per se. An adjusting screw having oppositely handed screw threads is provided between said projections and an adjusting wheel is mounted on said screw between its screw threads. A guide pin is longitudinally slidably mounted on the projection of the gaiter and interengages with the adjusting screw and carries a biasing spring or the like.
