Abstract
A holding mechanism for holding ski boots onto a ski. The holding mechanism is comprised of a longitudinally extending rod extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sole of a ski boot and has at least one crossbar thereon with conventional elements for engaging and holding the boot to the crossbar. The longitudinal rod is secured at one of its ends to a holding element secured to the ski. The holding element restricts the longitudinal movement of the rod while simultaneously permitting lateral movements thereof. The longitudinal rod serves to rigidify the sole of the ski boot thereby making it possible for the ski boot to be made of a flexible material to improve the walking characteristics thereof.
