Abstract

A sole measuring device, more particularly for soles of ski boots, having a rail which is attached to a stationary stop for the sole, on which rail there is slidably mounted a slide provided with another stop or which is formed as such. In such a device, provision is made according to the invention that both stops (4, 20) have marks which correspond to an acceptable minimum distance of the upper edge (11) of the sole (10) from its bearing face and to an acceptable maximum distance of the lower edge of the sole (10) from its bearing face. In this way, ski boots that can be used in conjunction with certain ski bindings can be sorted out in very simple fashion from those that are no longer suitable for this purpose.
