A wear resisting member or pad is mounted in the undersurface of the heel of an article of footwear, such as a ski boot, to improve the wearability of the heel. When employed in a ski boot, the heel thereof is formed with a cavity for weight reduction, and an opening is provided in the bottom wall of the heel for receiving the pad. When mounted in the opening in the heel, an upstanding boss on the pad engages a depending boss on the underside of an inclined wall in the heel so that the pad strengthens the heel and supports the heel of the wearer's foot. The pad is releasably retained in the opening in the heel by a plurality of circumferentially spaced lugs on the margin of the opening and a groove in the outer periphery of the pad into which the lugs extend. The pad is shiftable to different rotated positions in the opening to compensate for wear and can be replaced when worn out.

An article of footwear, particularly a ski boot or the like, having an integral one-piece shell molded from a relatively rigid plastic material. The shell has a lengthwise split in the cuff portion to provide overlapping flap members which completely enclose the wearer's foot. The flap members are resiliently spreadable for insertion or removal of the wearer's foot. The front of the shell has a depending skirt portion with a lower free edge which overlies a rearwardly extending vamp. The skirt portion has a downwardly opening slot with adjustable transverse fastener means for flex control at the front of the shell. The cuff portion of the shell is assymetrical at its upper end so that the shell is higher at the inside and the rear than at the outside and the front. An integral one-piece liner of soft flexible material is disposed within the shell. The liner is split lengthwise to permit spreading of the liner when the flap members of the shell are spread apart.

A rear-entry ski boot comprising a semi-rigid shell is provided with a two-piece liner system, one section of which covers the forward portion of the user's foot from behind the ankle bones, the second section covering the heel and Achilles' tendon areas, the sections cooperating to cover the entire surface of the wearer's foot within the shell. The liner sections are not interconnected, and at least the second section is readily removable and replaceable. By selection of an appropriate rear section, a custom fit can be more easily achieved, and changes in the wearer's foot size, as in the case of children, can be readily accomodated.

Improved footwear, such as a ski boot having a substantially rigid shell, a slip joint defined at the instep area between a vamp portion extending upwardly and an upper shell portion extending downwardly with a portion overlying the vamp at the instep area provide boot flexure. A slit in the upper shell portion commences at the joint and extends upwardly. Threaded adjustable fastening means are positioned across the slit so that the amount of boot flexure can be adjusted.
