Abstract
In a type of safety ski binding having if desired a plate fixed to the boot and releasably fixed to a ski, there is provided structure for lightening the boot construction, particularly the sole thereof, including the provision of structure for gripping the heel of the boot for holding same against such plate. Such structures extend around the heel a distance at least equal to one-third of the radius of the boot sole measured from and extending rearwardly from points on the sides of the ski boot where a plane perpendicular to the longitudinally central plane of the ski boot and containing the center point of the radius intersects the side walls of the ski boot. Reinforcement of the heel of the ski boot may be provided by utilizing a trough-shaped insert around the bottom of the boot which may, if desired, be interrupted at the ball of the foot for facilitating walking. Thin tension straps extend under the sole of the boot for reinforcing same and preventing slippage.
