Abstract
A binding in particular a step-in binding, for retaining a soft boot on a sliding device, in particular a snowboard, having retaining elements for the boot and having a calf support ( ) which can be pivoted into snowboarding and step-in positions and, via a tread element ( ) which is connected to it and is within reach of the boot, can be moved into the snowboarding position, in which the calf support ( ) is secured against accidentally pivoting out of the snowboarding position. In the snowboarding position, with the tread element ( ) subjected to loading, the calf support ( ) can be supported, on binding-mounted supporting parts ( ), against pivoting on its pivoting bolt ( ) into the step-in position. As a result of the tread element ( ) being relieved of loading, in order to eliminate the support, the calf support ( ) can be displaced, in particular automatically, in relation to the bolt ( ).
