Abstract
A device suitable to allow to secure the heel or the foot instep and is particularly usable for sports shoes, such as for example ski boots. The device is constituted by a support which can be coupled in a removable manner to a shell and/or to a quarter. A pair of jaws is associated with the support so that the jaws can rotate. The jaws embrace the foot instep or heel in a vise-like manner and can be activated by means of a knob which can be accessed by the user. The device is constructively very simple and allows to achieve optimum securing according to the anatomical shape of the part of the foot involved.
