Abstract
A step-in binding for securing a ski shoe or boot having a latching element including a transverse bit across and in front of the shoe or boot onto a ski. The binding includes a support element to be mounted on a ski, and a movable latch to be secured to the ski. The latch includes a movable pressure element and means for biasing the movable pressure element towards the support element. The shoe or boot may be secured by the binding to the ski by inserting the transverse bit between the support element and the pressure element when the movable pressure element is biased towards the support element and lowering the transverse bit between the movable pressure element and the support element.
