The shoe fitting has two rear holding elements and at least one front holding element, which holding elements cooperate with two rear holding jaws and at least one front holding jaw. The front holding jaw includes structure supporting it for limited pivotal movement about a vertical axis which extends preferably as an extension of the axis of the tibia of the skier' s leg.
