Abstract
In this assembly comprising a ski boot and a safety ski binding for the heel end of the ski boot, adapted to cooperate with the heel end by means of a heel clamping member, the rounded rear end of the upper extends beyond the heel end of the sole, and a recess is formed between the upper and the sole, the heel clamping member comprising a lever adapted to be depressed by the rear end of the upper for closing this lever upon the edge of the sole when the ski boot is being fitted into the binding, the free outer operative end of the lever being thus caused to penetrate into the recess, so that the device can safely be used even with ski boots having their heel edges bevelled as a consequence of the wear thereof.
