  • Ski boot closure system
    Patent number: 5426872
    Abstract: The rigidity of a high performance ski boot is increased by forming interlocking connections between a front tongue, a footbed and a rear ankle portion of the boot. Such connections are particularly effective in reducing or eliminating transverse spreading or sideward flaring of the front tongue as a skier leans forwardly against the tongue during aggressive ski maneuvers. By eliminating such transverse flaring and distortion, the foot support and overall performance of the boot is increased.
