A ski boot for Nordic skiing, the ski boot comprising: 1.1 a sole having a sole forefoot portion and a sole heel portion located along a longitudinal axis of the ski boot, 1.2 an upper, the sole and the upper enclosing a boot internal space for accommodating a skier's foot, and 1.3 a connecting structure for securement of the ski boot to a ski binding of a ski, the connecting structure defining a lateral pivot axis beneath the sole forefoot portion for pivoting movement of the ski boot relative to the ski, 1.4 the sole, optionally, comprising a sole upstanding portion (7, 8), 1.5 the upper and/or the sole upstanding portion (7, 16), if present, extending upwards from an upward facing surface of the sole along a boot internal rim that borders the upward facing surface of the sole within the boot internal space, 1.6 the longitudinal axis extending from a rearmost point on the boot internal rim and through a central region of the sole forefoot portion, as seen in a top view onto the upward facing surface of the sole, and 1.7 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersecting the longitudinal axis at an axial distance, d A, from a front axis that is tangential to a foremost end of the boot internal rim and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, 1.8 wherein d A > 20 mm, and 1.9 wherein the longitudinal axis, in the top view, passes through a center point located on a straight connecting line that connects, in the sole forefoot portion, a most medial point and a most lateral point of the boot internal rim, the center point being equidistant, along the connecting line, to the most medial point and the most lateral point, and characterized in that, 1.10 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersects the longitudinal axis forward of the center point, 1.11 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersects the longitudinal axis at an axial distance, d CP, from the center point, and wherein d A > 0.7 • d CP and d A < 1.3 • d CP, and 1.12 wherein the axial distances d A and d CP are measured along the longitudinal axis X on a plane of measurement M. 1.1 a sole having a sole forefoot portion and a sole heel portion located along a longitudinal axis of the ski boot, 1.2 an upper, the sole and the upper enclosing a boot internal space for accommodating a skier's foot, and 1.3 a connecting structure for securement of the ski boot to a ski binding of a ski, the connecting structure defining a lateral pivot axis beneath the sole forefoot portion for pivoting movement of the ski boot relative to the ski, 1.4 the sole, optionally, comprising a sole upstanding portion (7, 8), 1.5 the upper and/or the sole upstanding portion (7, 16), if present, extending upwards from an upward facing surface of the sole along a boot internal rim that borders the upward facing surface of the sole within the boot internal space, 1.6 the longitudinal axis extending from a rearmost point on the boot internal rim and through a central region of the sole forefoot portion, as seen in a top view onto the upward facing surface of the sole, and 1.7 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersecting the longitudinal axis at an axial distance, d A, from a front axis that is tangential to a foremost end of the boot internal rim and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, 1.8 wherein d A > 20 mm, and 1.9 wherein the longitudinal axis, in the top view, passes through a center point located on a straight connecting line that connects, in the sole forefoot portion, a most medial point and a most lateral point of the boot internal rim, the center point being equidistant, along the connecting line, to the most medial point and the most lateral point, and characterized in that, 1.10 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersects the longitudinal axis forward of the center point, 1.11 the pivot axis, in the top view, intersects the longitudinal axis at an axial distance, d CP, from the center point, and wherein d A > 0.7 • d CP and d A < 1.3 • d CP, and 1.12 wherein the axial distances d A and d CP are measured along the longitudinal axis X on a plane of measurement M.
