1. Motorcycle boot comprising a tread, a rigid shell to which said tread is fixed, and an upper associated with said rigid shell, said upper having a portion configured to wrap around a user's leg and joined with a base insole formed by a plurality of tubular channels, the tubular channels extending over most of a lower surface of the base insole and suitable for allowing passage of air along longitudinal axes of said tubular channels and at right angles to the longitudinal axes of said tubular channels, said rigid shell having a front or toe end that is positionable forward of a user's toes and that forms an air intake positioned forward of the tubular channels such that air flowing at said front end of rigid shell enters the air intake and then enters fore ends of said tubular channels, said rigid shell further comprising at least one rear air outlet opening communicating with said air intake via said tubular channels, said tubular channels being formed by a double layer of rigid fabric and being parallel to each other and oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the boot, neighboring ones of the tubular channels being directly adjacent each other in side-to-side manner, said rigid fabric being permeable such that the passage of air at right angles to the longitudinal axes of said tubular channels occurs continuously through an entire span of each of the channels.

2. The motorcycle boot according to claim 1 , wherein said air intake comprises an opening protected by a mesh formed in the toe end of said rigid shell.

3. The motorcycle boot according to claim 2 , wherein a raised edge is provided at a front of said tread with openings which are arranged so as to further form air intake.

4. The motorcycle boot according to claim 1 , further comprising an inner bootie adapted for insertion into said upper and together therewith into said shell, said inner bootie being made of breathable fabric.
