Abstract: A sport shoe to be used for sports involving a sliding movement, comprising a rigid shell inside which the foot is inserted; two pressure pieces, i.e. a heel piece and a toe piece, situated on the bottom of the shell and able to fix it to the bindings of sports equipment for performing a sliding movement. At least one pressure piece is movably connected to the shell so as to be able to move towards the shell in response to an external force causing them to move together.

Abstract: The upper part (3) of the shell (1), manufactured as one piece from polymer material, of a footwear is divided on the front into two pairs of flaps (6A, 7A; 6B, 7B) by a longitudinal separating line (5) and by a transverse slit provided opposite the user's heel. Two removable inserts (11, 12) are provided, which may even be manufactured using a type of polymer material different from that of the shell (1), have parts (13, 15; 14, 16) which are designed to interfere both with the outer surface and with the inner surface of the said flaps (6A, 7A; 6B, 7B) and also have interconnecting parts (17, 18) which are designed to be retained by the twfo sections (8A, 8B) of the transverse slit. USE: Ski boots and skating boots, safety footwear and the like. ADVANTAGES: No infiltration (e.g. of water and snow) into the boot; more efficient manufacturing of the boot.
